They can be caught on worms, leeches, small minnows, spinners, jigs, small crankbaits, some topwater lures and most panfish lures.
When the spawn is over, fish move back to deeper water. You can catch rock bass throughout the entire summer in 10 to 20 feet of water. Most walleye
fishermen catch rock bass trolling spinner-worm presentations. A spinner-leech rig will produce lots of fish without you having to re-bait your hook. It's
very tough for them to get a leech off the hook. Some bass fishermen have caught nice 2 pound rock bass when working topwater lures around weed
edges. Small rock bass won't come up to the surface as often, but the bigger fish aren't afraid to attack a lure on the surface.
In the fall, fishing remains good. They move into shallower water and will bite on all the same lures that are productive during the spring and summer
time. They are truly fun to catch with light tackle and are perfect for younger anglers learning how to fish.
