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 Pumpkinseed

  Use light tackle, such as an ultralight rod and reel with 4-6 pound test line, for maximum sensitivity and fun while fishing for pumpkinseeds.

• For Longear sunfish

  Use light tackle for increased sensitivity and cast near structure like weeds or submerged trees, as longears often ambush prey from these areas.
