Fishing Techniques
- 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 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 Channel catfish
Fish near structure like submerged trees or rocks, as channel catfish often use these areas for ambush points and shelter.
