Tricks For Boating Bass
A trick to use in stained or muddy water or at night when bass can’t see as well is to use big lures that displace water and create good vibrations.
Another trick some fishermen use is to put a little more bend in the blade of a spinnerbait to make it throb more intensely and make more noise as it moves through the water.
Maybe the best trick I can give you, though, is to slow down your retrieve. Believe it or not, a slow moving bait will actually send out more heavy vibrations than a fast moving bait will.
The final trick is to use darker colored baits in low visibility situations. When their sight is restricted, dark colors stand out better. Actually, it is not the color that catches bass in these situations anyway; it is the vibration of the bait.
Tips For Bagging Big Cats
Summertime is channel cat time across America. In lakes and reservoirs, fish flat areas in 18 to 25 feet of water using shad, shrimp, dough balls, cheese, prepared baits, nightcrawlers, and even that left over hot dog from lunch.
In rivers, try the same baits around undercut banks, old hollow logs, and even slack water. Ponds are also great places to catch channel cats. Give them some time to mouth the bait and pick it up before setting the hook.
My favorite part of channel cat fishing is eating them. Here’s my special recipe:
- Cut filets into bite size pieces
- Dunk them in milk
- Coat with one of Bass Pro Shops Uncle Buck’s fish batters
- Drop in 325 degree peanut oil until they’re good and crisp. Dip them in shrimp sauce for some outstanding eating.
Where's Walleye? Tips For Finding Their Summertime Hangouts
A walleye’s metabolism rises with the water temperature in summer and that means they need to eat more, not less.
Most walleye anglers use leeches and minnows on Lindy rigs in deeper water during this time of year. But, also try finding them where they are suspending with baitfish or prowling around on shallow reefs, weedbeds, shorelines, and points. These are all primary locations for catching walleyes in summer.
Using tactics you would use to catch bass will put you on active walleye quicker and help you put more of them in the boat during summer.
A plate full of hot, fried walleye will help make that summer cookout even better.
