Keeping a Jumping Fish On Bass Fishing
When you see your line moving up the the surfact, the fish is going for a jump. From saltwater experience with Tarpon, my guide taught me to Bow to the fish as it leaps into the air. It will give the fish slack, and let them jerk their head all around without losening the hook in their lip. Just do a simple lowering of the rod tip. It will keep your fish on a lot more. Try it and see.

Working a worm Bass Fishing
When using a worm, there are countless ways to work it. In fact, im not sure if there is a wrong way, other than maybe skimming it on the top because your reeling so fast. Try using a texas rigged 6-9 inch worm, and jerk it a bit when reeling in. The jerking patterns should be sporatic, and spontaneous. The more you mix up the patterns the better. It makes the fish look at it like scared prey, therefore provoking strikes.

Spring Colors Bass Fishing
The sun in the spring, especially in the south seems to be getting more and more intense. This drives most of the larger bass deeper than 3 feet. At this depth the lighth is significantly less, especially in dirty water. The best colors that I have found to use in low light conditions are Chartruse or Pumpkinseed, and occasionally the blue/white mix depending on how bright it is outside. The blue/white for some reason has caught me more bass than I have missed on it. Hope this helps. If those dont seem to work for you, then try going back to your old routine.

Florida Bass this Year Bass Fishing
A lot of Florida Black Bass seem to be hitting off jerkbaits this spring rather than worms, topwater, or cranks. Although worms, i know, are a favored lure of the pros, I try to use whats working for myself. If your having troubles with worms, or other lures, put on a 2 1/2 to 3 inch jerkbait, and watch the rod tip bend.

The comeback techniqe Bass Fishing
When i'm fishing a crankbait or spinnerbait and the fish are just bumping it or missing it. I keep a worm rod at my feet. As soon as i feel a touch or see one come up behind it, i reel up fast and throw the bubble gum colored worm in the exact spot i seen or felt the fish. 9 outta 10 times those fish come back for the worm.

Spinnerbaits in Vegetation Bass Fishing
Whenever your fishing in vegetation with a spinnerbait in clear water or stained water, throw a double willowleaf spinnerbait. Blades go through that grass a lot better than other blades due to the slender body.

CrankBaiting Through Extreme Cover Bass Fishing
A lot of Bass anglers never consider throwing a crankbait in the middle of heavy cover, simply because they think they will lose their crankbait.
I can personally tell you that if you fish it properly, you can fish the most heavy cover with a crankbait. All you have to do is take your time getting it through the vastness of branches and cover.
If you feel your bait crawling through the wood but then
suddenly it gets hung up, just stop your bait and give it some slack, most of the time the bait will surface on its own right up out of the cover.
Most important is that you will be able to sink your hook on plenty of lunkers that are not used to seeing much action, simply because most anglers refuse to fish there.

Jerk bait , all the way to the boat. Freshwater
how many times have you been fishing A jerk bait and when you get close to the boat you rip the bait out of the water just to see a fish hot on its tail but missed it? I've caught alot more fish by slowing down and watching my bait rite at the boat and letting it sit for a few seconds before taking out of the water. Always try to focus just behind the bait. If there is somthing following it, stop the bait then give it a twitch, and you'll boat more fish.

Strip Baits For Fluke Saltwater
Take a whole herring and fillet in half with entrails included, take each half and freeze in heavily salted water, this will tuffen up the meat and entrails. Thread the thawed fillet on an extra long shank aberdeen hook at least in and out three time. Make sure the entrail side is up as well as the hook point. Drift with a egg sink, bead and swivel tied to a 2ft leader directly connected to hook. Pick up and drop in a rhythm to the drift for a minute, then drop steady for at least a 20 seconds with the bail open. Click over the bail and hold on for the ride of your life. Remeber to never horse large fluke, they will rip the hook out with pressure.

Jigs All Times of Year Bass Fishing
I have had many people ask me when I am fishng local tournaments what I catch most of my big fish on. My answer if always a jig. I never take one off and always have 2 jigs tied on at all times. I have many ways to fish a jig but here are some of my favorite. In the winter everybody knows that a jig is probably the best way to catch big fish shallow or deep. In this time of the year I fish a jig slowly with little to no movement for long periods of time. I will let it sit for minutes at a time and then give it about 3 big hops letting it sit again and repeat. Most of my strikes are never felt they will just pick it up when it is sitting there and have it when you reel slack up. In that case I keep my line tight. Sometimes you will get a reaction strike with the big hops if it is infront of there face when hopped. Now what about in the spring time. Have you ever tried a jig in the spring when everyone is catching fish on a spinnerbait. Well maybe you should try this tactic and tell me if I am wrong. Instead of letting it sit on the bottom and hop or crawl it along swim the jig. I do this with a little bounce in my rod for one reason it gives the bait more action. I only throw finesse jigs by Terminator cause they have the smallest brush guard with the most active skirt on the market. For a trailer I use a Zoom Fat Albert Twin Tail to match the color of my jig. I started using these jigs and techniques almost two years ago when I met Jim Files online and have never looked back. I have won or placed in almost every tournament that I have fished in since using a jig. The most important thing to remember when throwing a jig is that it can catch fish and big fish any time of the year just be creative with it and modify it any way you want.

Crappie tip Freshwater
A small 1" tube jig is probably the #1 bait for Crappie. One way to fish it that's very effective at times is below a bobber. As you work it back in it just hang in their face when it's paused. The thing I like to do is replace the bobber with a small top-water or jirk-bait. Remove the rear hook and replace it with the jig on a leader. You still get the fish on the jig but your bobber will catch'em too this way.

Deep Crank'n Bass Fishing
The new trend is to use heavy weight spinnerbaits as an alternitive to those deep-diving crank baits. They don't crank nearly as hard and, with enough weight, can be cranked along at a pretty good clip and still stay down.
It can, however be a problem finding much of a selection over 3/4oz. I bought some rubber core bait-weights, removed the core and crimped them on the hook shank. You can make any bait you like into a "heavy-weight" and very it from 1oz to 2oz easily. Going to a smaller single willow blade gives less water resistance also and will help keep it down while keeping up the pace.

Sinker Pegging Bass Fishing
Next time the skirt breaks on your spinner bait save the rubber. Run a simple loop of line through through your slip sinker after you've put it on the line and use it to pull a few strands back through the wieght. It stops the sinker from sliding up the line and wont pinch it like a toothpick.

Fluke weighting Bass Fishing
Everybody knows you can add a piece of nail or one of those special lead inserts for more weight but I think they interfere with my hookset. I like to just slide a tube weight over the hook shank before completing the texas rig. No more problem hooking up, adds just a little noise sliding around, and a different fall with the weight in the center. In a pinch even a split-shot crimped on a small loop of line will work.

Drop Shot Bass Fishing
I use a bell sinker on my drop shot, the kind with a wire line tye. I've found by adding a worm hook, on a split ring, to the eye it doubles my chances. A texas riged little fluke or craw, at the top of the weight, looks like something feeding along the bottom.
The idea also works off the swivel of a carolina rig and much cheeper to lose than a jig should you get hung up.

Home made scent General Fishing
Sometimes fishing "scents" can be manufactured at home that will perform as well as or better than store-bought scents. One such scent is made by mixing Cod Liver Oil, garlic and salt. This is usually done in a small container with a small, flip-top opening. The ingredients are poured into the container and shaken. This type of cod-garlic scent may need to be kept in the refrigerator if it is not used within a few weeks. It will harden up in the refrigerator, then liquefy when it is warmed up again in the angler's hands. Another way to make this scent is to buy Cod Liver Oil softgel capsules. These are put in a small container and garlic powder and salt (or garlic salt) are sprinkled into the container as well. The garlic and salt flavors will soak into the softgels. The softgels can then be taken out one at a time and stuck on a lure's hook or punctured and squeezed onto or into a lure. Both largemouth bass and trout love this cod-garlic scent. (This tip is offered in loving memory of Dave Lowe).

Polarized Sunglasses Bass Fishing
All anglers will better protect their eyes and be able to see underwater fish better with good quality polarized sunglasses. Polarization cuts surface glare due to the alignment of particles in or on the lens, which can actually help an angler see underwater. Since polarization makes sunglasses special, glasses that are polarized usually bear a special label when they're on the rack. However, not all polarized sunglasses are created equal. The better polarized sunglasses have a ground-in polarization that results in a top-notch, optical quality lens with no distortions. Cheaper polarized sunglasses only have a sprayed-on polarized finish that results in lens distortions that will cause eyestrain and can even damage the eyes. Like polarization, optical quality lenses are special, so if they're optical quality there will usually be a special label or information in the accompanying tag or pamphlet that says so.

Setting Cast Control Bass Fishing
There are 2 primary methods for adjusting the cast controls on casting reels. Try them both and stick with the method that works best for you and your reel. One method is to adjust the control so that it just barely stops the reel from falling when you push the casting button. To do this, loosen the cast control a little and push the button. The lure should start falling. Quickly adjust the cast control until the lure stops falling. Remember to make small adjustments. The other method is to set the control so that there is no overrun when the lure strikes the deck. To do this, push the casting button and let the lure fall to the deck. If the spool keeps turning and lets the line overrun, adjust the cast control and try again. Make small adjustments until the spool stops the instant the lure hits the deck. With either method, you will need to re-adjust the cast control when you change lures, especially if the lure is a different weight.

Avoid tangles General Fishing
Spinning reels often get bird's nests and tangles, which are usually caused by one of three mistakes. The first is putting the line on the reel improperly. The line should go onto the reel the same way it comes off the spool, taking advantage of the curve the line has memorized from being stored on the spool. Lay the spool FLAT on the ground (do NOT hold it vertically) and start winding the reel. If tangles begin, turn the spool over. The tangling should stop and your reel should be tangle free for the future, as long as you don't make the other two mistakes. The second mistake is to overfill the spool. Spinning reels should never be filled past the front spool lip, or too much line will come out during casting and -POOF!- you'll have a big mess of tangles. The third most common mistake is to crank the reel while a fish is taking out line. While it's OK to crank a baitcaster while a fish makes a run, a spinning reel is not designed for such a mistake. During the fish's run, cranking a spinning reel literally twirls the line around and around, twisting it up like a rubber band and resulting in lots of kinks and tangles.

Drag setting General Fishing
The biggest mistake made by anglers is to have their drag set improperly. Most manufacturers recommend that your drag be set at one-third of your line's test weight. This means that a reel holding 15 pound test line should have the drag set to let out line at 5 pounds of pull. To set your drag run the line out through your rod's guides, tie a loop in the end, then use the hook on a fish scale (the tool, not the fish body part) to pull on the line. When the weight shown on the scale is one-third of your rated line weight, the drag should be letting out line. If not, adjust the drag until it does.

Carp Bait Freshwater
A good home-made bait for catching Carp is a fish and bread mixture. Grate a Large amount of cheese into a bowl and rip smallish pieces of bread into the cheese. Roll up a piece of bread and knead in the cheese. Keep adding more cheese and bread until it is about the size of a brussel sprout. You can use this to chum the area up or to use as hook bait. Make sure you use a large hook and pack the bread and cheese around it.

Bass tip Freshwater
The easiest way for me to catch bass is on a purple weedless worm with white stripes at between sunset and night. This seems to work well, as bass tend to bite on things below the surface at this time, partly because they can just manage to see it. I usually just cast this worm on a plain old rod into a weedbed or structure. It works well for me, and my sister caught a ten-inch bass on a friday and a hefty sixteen-inch bass the next day around the same time.

Using Mircos Freshwater
Anglers who use a Micro Power Craw® or Micro Power Grub® rigged on 1/64 ounce jig head, and fishing an ultralight outfit can hook up with almost any type of fish that swims. They are a great pond bait, because bluegill, bass and crappie love 'em.
Baby crawfish grow up under rocks and are the preferred food of many fish. When exposed, they will be eaten by almost any kind or size of fish. Because of this, you'll be amazed by how big a fish you can catch on a Micro Power Craw.
Micros are very effective when fished under a slip bobber 4-5 " above the bottom. Just let the bait drift by itself, and if there's even the slightest wave action, the bait will look like it's swimming on it's own. This presentation is effective for any kind of fish.

Texas Style Worm Freshwater
First, slip a small cone sinker onto your line and tie on hook. Insert the point about 1/2 inch into the head of your Power Worm. Then, press the hook through the worm until the eye is almost covered by the worm's head. Rotate the hook a half turn, then bury the point. A Texas style rig can be fished in very heavy cover. If the worm catches on any underwater structure, twitch the rod to free it. This kind of rig also works well for flipping alongside of stumps or docks, or in any hard-to-reach spot. Keep your line taut as the worm sinks and be ready to set your hook at the first sign of a line twitch.

choose the right worm Freshwater
Fish straight-tail Power Worms when fish are laying low and staying tight to cover. Choose paddle-tail Power Worms when you want maximum vibration with a slow retrieve, and try swimming-tail Power Worms when the fish are really biting.

pay attention to weather Boating
Pay attention to the weather, before and after you are on the water: Before leaving for the day, check all available sources of weather information, especially if you know there is weather approaching. Don’t rely on the weather reports from the night before. VHF radios have up-to-date weather information on specific channels (weather band) running constantly. Another good reason to have a VHF radio with you. Set the weather band to automatically announce weather warnings during the day and you can be assured that unpredicted or developing weather won’t catch you off guard. Keep an eye to the sky. Wind direction changes can be harbingers of impending weather changes. Don’t ignore thunder.

float plan Boating
1. File a “float plan” so people will know where you are: Map out your plan for the day, know where you are going and how to tell someone where you are. Call your spouse or friends and let them know your general vicinity and the approximate time you will return. If help is needed, that contact person can send help in your direction. Better yet, a waterproof, handheld GPS (about $130) will give your rescuers exact coordinates of your location. It will also help you backtrack out to safety should you be caught in a fog or blinding rain.

In-spinners for Redfish Saltwater
Bayou Buck's Redfish Spinners
After also having success with the Shrimpaler in Cocodrie, I began using Gary "Buck" Thompson's sworn by inline spinnerbait. On first glance of this lure I just kinda laughed thinking that this may catch redfish here but back home they would run from it. Boy was I ever wrong. It works incredible on grassy points or in stained water (I've found that the rougher and more stained the water, the better the big blade works). This is a hard lure to beat as far as blind-casting to locate fish. It seems to usually find your bigger fish as well. Bayou Buck's "ZZ Spot Spinner" helped us earn thousands on the Pro Redfish Tour last year and has also improved my guide trips by far. Use it around oysters or points where bait is stacked up and it will call in the fish.
Good luck and tight lines,

Shrimpaler Lure Saltwater
I started using Bayou Buck Lures last year during a fishing tournament in Lafitte, Louisiana. Of course I have seen many redfish lures in my time but these really caught my eye and I'm glad they did. I started out with some Shrimpalers, they work great replacing the hooks in riptide shrimp and jerkbaits. The bait doesn't slide down the hook once it is inside. This allows longer use of the bait and much better hook sets, especially because of the high-quality VMC hooks used. It is hard to beat this setup when sight-casting for redfish or anything else for that matter. The Shrimpaler's extra weight also allows you to fish deeper water levels in locating fish.

Setting the hook with a baitcaster General Fishing

Drift Sock General Fishing
Fishing slow, slow, slow. When fishing for northern smallmouth make sure you always use your drift sock when the wind kickcs up. This is crucial while dragging tubes to give the bass an opportunity to get aggetated. Here is the trick, I always keep 2 drift socks in the boat, don't hesitate to use 2 on the really rough days.

Good cold water lure Bass Fishing
Bent or straight blades. It is a member of the spoon family. The best ones for catching largemouths is the chrome or gold colors, no markings. The best for smallmouths is the painted ones. Fish it deep like a jig with short, slow, six inch lifts. Hook sets should be lite because you could easily lose a fish. When the bass takes it, it will be soft, but he will swallow it.

Snap Swivel for Bass Bass Fishing
Put a snap swivel on while fishing for bass. The bass sometime will open there mouths while you real them in to help fight. This sometimes causes them to get in a spinning motion. So it will help if you have a snap swivel on so that the line does'nt break from all the rotation.

After the Netting General Fishing

Netting fish General Fishing
When netting always try and net them with the face going in first. Most fish can't swim backwards so if you put it in the front of their faces, they only have one way to go, and that would be straight in. Some big fish can go backwards though, but only slowly.

Murky water bass Bass Fishing
I have noticed that really big bass like murky water. To get their attention is a different story. If you want to try murky water fishing, use a really shiny bait to attract attention, but if the water is to murky where color doesnt matter, use baits that make a lot of motion and vibrations such as a buzz bait or topwater lures.
LBF Member: Jake
|
| 642. |
Use what color baits when. Bass Fishing
Use shiny baits in murky water and use darker baits in clearer water. Sticking to this rule seems to catch me a lot of fish. The only time you dont need to follow this rule at all is at night time using topwater baits or when the water is so murky you just cant see it anyway
LBF Member: Jake

Placing bait for pike. Ice Fishing
Usually pike stay pretty close to the bottom of the lake in the winter. When you put your bait in the water, keep in mind that a pikes eyes are on the top of its head, so they only see food higher then them, so it is best to bring the bait up off of the bottom quite a bit so they will see it.
LBF Member: Jake

Attracting Pike with tipups Ice Fishing

Crappie special Freshwater
A lot of people who fish crappie no that if you throw out shiny objects with your bait, they find it very attractive and will go after it. So for those of you who didn't know that, now you do. The main tip that I wanted to get across was the things you can use that are shiny. One thing is if you plan on keeping a fish you catch, cut off some of its scales and that should work. Just throw them out and cast your bait by it. Another think you can use is crushed up eggshells. Just save the egg shells in a tin can by the stove and have people put them in there. You can also use regular old glitter.

Use those broken rods General Fishing
I know from fishing a lot that things can happen to the rods, such as stepping on the tips and breaking them, geting them slamed in doors, all of that good stuff. Well here is the deal, if you take the rods and cut them down to a smaller size, to a point where you have one of the eyes at the tip, you can find them very useful. They are easy to use when you go out fishing on a creek in the woods, or you can just throw one in your backpack if they are small enough.

Safe weight idea. Boating
If you are using a small boat with a couple of your fishing buddies, and one of them is really heavy set. Put him in the back near the motor. There was an incident I heard about where a few guys went duck hunting and when the heavy guy was in the front, the front end went under and they all died because they had heavy gear on. Just remember to put the big guy in the back.
