Fishing Techniques

• For Channel catfish

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

• For White bass

  Look for birds diving or surface activity to locate schools of white bass, then use lures that mimic shad or minnows to entice strikes.

• 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.
