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