Fishing Tips Tricks Advice and Techniques
How many times have you heard the phrase, "Man - you should have been here yesterday, the fish were just jumping into the boat!"
You may think that it would be useless to try for the same fish that everybody else was pounding yesterday. However, that isn't always the case. Often times, when fish are "hit hard" on a certain technique or in a certain spot, they get smart and move somewhere else and stop falling for the old standby lures. But, it DOESN'T mean they have stopped biting completely. Start where the guy's were catching them yesterday, except instead of using the same lure, opt for something radically different, but that is still proven to catch 'em. Then work your way into non-traditional holes, because the fish may have moved away from the "zone" as a result of being over pressured. You just might teach your buddies that good fishing doesn't have to be for just one day!
Here are a few techniques that you can use to catch even the most highly pressured fish.
Lighten up! Use lighter line and smaller lures with a natural presentation.
Move your bait SLOWLY! Some neutral to negative feeding fish will hit a slow moving lure and absolutely ignore on that's moving just a little too fast. If you have a high gear ratio reel, turn the handle extra slow. A good way to get an idea of how fast your lure is actually running is to cast parallel to where your fishing and reel at a normal pace. If your trolling, just run the lure beside the boat at normal speed. (This is also a good way to make sure your lure is in tune.)
Sometimes live bait is the only way to get a fish to strike, especially in ultra clear water. I don't make a habit of using live bait all the time though, because it is important to be VESATILE!
Last but not least -- be silent. A sudden sound can automatically give a fish "lock jaw" that would normally be happy to eat your bait. Well maybe not happy, happy;o)
You might be asking yourself, " If these slow techniques will catch fish even in tough conditions, why not use them all the time?" Well, because your wasting time! When fish are in positive mood, fish fast. When they're negative mood, fish slow. It's that simple!
If you would like to know more, visit my website. On it you will find a wealth of information about the sport we all love -- fishing. You can also ask me a question on my forum! So go ahead and LEARN!
Until next time, have a great day -- and remember -- unless your line is wet, you ain't gonna catch no fish!
Sincerely,
