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 Striped bass

  Match the hatch! Pay attention to what the stripers are feeding on and select lures or baits that mimic the size and color of the local forage.

• For Redear sunfish

  Redear Sunfish often suspend just off the bottom, so adjust your bait or lure depth accordingly to target them.
