Fishing Techniques
- For Largemouth bass
Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.
- For Spotted bass
When fishing for spotted bass in reservoirs, focus on points, humps, and channel bends where they often congregate to ambush prey.
- For Grass carp
Pre-baiting an area with corn or other plant matter for several days can concentrate grass carp and increase your chances of a catch.
