Tips of how to find bass,
trigger a strike and other useful things.
We have compiled tips into
general categories in some of the sections below. Many individual tips
fit into each general category to cover that topic thoroughly. Since
many individual tips fit into more than one category, they are
sometimes repeated.
Also listed are individual
tips for a specific topic.
| PRESSURED
LAKES |
WEED
FLIPPING |
BOAT
TIPS |
| When your favorite lake
starts getting hammered, and your fish have shut off. Try downsizing
your lure and keeping it in front of him longer. |
If you are flippin? and
pitchin' plastics in weeds try pegging your sinkers with "Peg Its",
toothpicks, or a rubber band. It will keep you in better contact with
your lure. |
Instead of dragging out your
50? boat line, make up a six foot one with loops on both ends. It will
be quicker and easier for tying up to a dock. |
| SOMETHING
NEW |
SPONSORSHIP |
LOG
BOOK |
| If you want to try something
new, get a can of reel and line lubricant. Spray it on your reel and
you will notice a difference in distance and smoothness. |
Everyone wants a sponsor.
The best way to do this is by getting to know your local bait and
tackle dealer. He can be a valuable link to reps and companies. |
If you are not already using
a logbook, start one this season. You can write down as much detail as
you like for every trip, and be able to look at it next year for ideas
and areas. |
| FINICKY |
LURE
COLORS |
DIVERSIFIED |
| Sometimes the fish get a
little finicky. All they might need is a touch bit of color added to
the end of the lure with a plastic bait marker or maybe add an eyeball
to your lure with a marker. |
As a basic guide to colors,
use dark colors (purple, black, red) in murky water. If the water is
clear use more natural colors ( browns, greens, and the seed colors)
Remember this is only a guide. |
Yes you can catch some fish
on the same lure some times. Nevertheless, try to learn a different
technique or style every year. Fishing is a learning experience and the
more you know the better you will be. |
