Kyle Welcher's Guide to Flipping Bass in Slack Water

It's widely known that the bite gets more challenging when the water stops flowing, but there are still fish to be had. Kyle Welcher gives an insightful tutorial on how to overcome tough conditions by using the flipping and pitching technique to construct a decent bag. He discusses how bass reposition in the absence of current and how pitching unique soft plastic profiles can yield more bites than conventional baits.

He introduces one of his new go-to's, the Rapala CrushCity Bronco Bug, a craw-like creature bait with a distinctive kicking action on the fall. This contrasts with more commonly used baits, flipping, and pitching plastics, highlighting the importance of switching things up to get more bites under pressured conditions. ADAPTING TO RESERVOIR CONDITIONS Welcher skillfully fishes a variety of cover types, from isolated wood near creek mouths to root balls and laydowns. He explains how the cover's relation to lake contours and backwaters influences bass location, emphasizing the importance of moving water in positioning fish in river systems. SLOW AND METHODICAL APPROACH In the absence of significant current, Welcher advises a slower, more meticulous approach. He focuses on isolated targets where fish are likely to hold, using precise casting and allowing the bait to reach the bottom. Pitching around doesn't mean fishing slowly - his technique involves a single drop to the bottom, lift and shake, and then moving on to the next pitch. THE IDEAL FLIPPING SETUP Welcher shares his flipping setup: a 7-foot-6 heavy power 13 Fishing Muse Black II rod paired with 22-pound fluorocarbon, balancing strength and subtlety. He explains why this setup is optimal for heavy cover without being overbearing and negatively impacting the bait's action. PATTERN RECOGNITION FOR SUCCESS The video culminates with Welcher identifying a consistent pattern for locating largemouth bass. He highlights how understanding the types of structure and cover bass frequent, combined with a bait you're confident in, leads to successful flipping and pitching in reservoirs with slack water.
