Fishing Techniques

  • For Smallmouth bass

    Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

  • For Northern pike

    Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

  • 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.
