How to Fish ChatterBaits "Up the Hill" | Bank or Boat
Fishing lures from deep to shallow (up the hill) is standard practice for shore anglers but typically overlooked when fishing from a boat. Major League Fishing Pro Stephen Browning discusses when to use this approach and how to execute it using a heavy ChatterBait. Wired2fish has covered heavy ChatterBaits (3/4 and 1-1/4 ounce) in structure fishing applications on natural lakes and reservoirs, and it’s become a mainstay tactic in place of a crankbait in many situations.
FEATURED TACKLE
• Z-Man JackHammer ChatterBait, 3/4-ounce:
• Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ, 4-inch:
• St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass Casting Rods, 7’3″ / Heavy / Moderate-Fast:
• Lew’s Tournament Pro Speed Spool LFS Casting Reel, 8.3:1:
The system’s strength is depth control and the ability to keep the heavy bait near the bottom throughout the cast — it’s hard to pull this off with a fixed-running depth crankbait. Instead of beating the bank, Browning runs his boat down the shoreline and casts out, counting his lure down to a depth just below suspended schools of shad and in the bass strike zone.
He then proceeds with a slow and steady retrieve, letting the ChatterBait and paddle tail swimbait trailer deliver the necessary action. Bites often happen on a long cast and at depth, so Browning prefers a high-speed reel to maximize line pickup. He walks through his ideal rod action for fishing ChatterBaits, and why you lose more fish using a rod with too much stiffness.
It makes good sense. The first drop-off adjacent to shore is a collection area for bass that aren’t up shallow, be it influenced by a cold front, fishing pressure, or deeper forage. Like Ott DeFoe’s tactic of catching suspended bass on a jig just off the first shoreline break, this video presents moving baits to bass often missed by “bank beaters” targeting shallow cover.

I use zman chatterbaits and would never waste money on a jackhammer but I enjoy slow rolling channel swings this time of the year for post spawners.
nice lure
White 3/8 oz Jackhammer is my #1 lure, they hit it so hard. I'm also sold on using a 5.5 inch albino Hog Farmer Spunk Shad trailer. The action it adds is unreal. My bassin buddies say I'm throwing a loaf of bread it looks so big. Killing the big ones with it. Another great video Stephen, thanks.
Thanks for the tips!!!
Ole browning is underrated
Good presentaion!!
The counting is killing me.
The hook sets are comical
Great video because of STEPHEN BROWNING I'VE MET HIM HE A SUPER GREAT FISHERMAN AND PERSON GREAT MAN
Speaking my language! I’ve taken some guys money throwing the jackhammer in a local club trail. Really good lure and this is gonna expand my game!
These are favorite W2F videos. Instruction, technique and scenario – I can got out and replicate and put my own twist on things.
that was the fastest 8 count ever
Good stuff Stephen! 👀 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸
Thanks for the tips my friend!
