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 Black bullhead

  Fish near the bottom in areas with structure like weeds or submerged logs, as black bullheads are bottom feeders that prefer cover.
