Wired2fish’s Kyle Peterson shares his system for finding and catching bass in open water using a variety of baits. As Peterson notes, bass commonly suspend in open water to feed on roaming schools of baitfish. Consistently finding and catching these fish was nearly impossible before the advent of forward-facing sonar. But it’s not only doable but often the best program going.

Notably, he favors baits that cast far and mimic minnows.
