"Seven Tricks for Improving Your Bassin' Results"
By Justin Hoffman
 Bass
fishing is a game of highs and lows. Going from banner days on the
water to empty live wells the next is a fact of life when chasing
these challenging adversaries. There are, however, a number of
tricks that can improve and elevate your bassin' game to the next
level. Test these out on your next trip to the lake and watch your
success jump in leaps and bounds. (With the Fishing Shows upon us,
it might be the perfect time to pick up some of these items in
anticipation of the coming season…)
#1. Bring a Map
Topographic and hydrographic maps can do wonders for your bass
productivity. Fishing blindly on the water is a thing of the past,
and these maps are the current key to your underwater view of the
lake. Maps can help in pinpointing productive areas of the lake long
before you set foot on the boat ramp, and can narrow down feasible
spots in order to make your fishing less time-consuming. Marking or
highlighting humps, shallow flats, spawning areas and breaklines
will enable you to quickly run to these spots and figure patterns
out - a definite advantage in helping you catch more and bigger
fish.
#2. Push Your Way Through
Getting into shallow water when targeting bass can oftentimes be
a real problem. Trolling motors can choke up with weeds and muck,
and running the big motor can be a real risk. Carrying a "push-pole"
in your boat can be the answer to your prayers - and will help you
discover those previously out-of-reach places. Push-poles are
telescopic rods that have duck-shaped feet on the bottom that
literally allow an angler to push his boat through and around
shallow water. These poles are also dynamite in reducing noise when
traversing through the thick salad - something the trolling motor is
quite inept at doing. Try pushing your way into uncharted water
during your next outing, and discover the hidden bass that you've
been missing.
#3. Mark That Spot
How many times have you found a productive bass spot, only to
drift or be blown off it, ultimately losing it in the end? This can
be a frustrating occurrence to endure, but the remedy can be had for
less than ten dollars. Marker buoys are an ideal apparatus that
allows an angler to mark a key spot and remain in direct contact
with it. Dropping a marker on a hump, point or weedline will help
you stay on top of your underwater honey-hole, meaning more fish due
to this innovative and simple beacon of the water.
#4. Tools of the Trade
Much the same way a golfer needs a variety of clubs when hitting
the links, a bass angler needs an equal amount of rods and reels
when scouring the lake. Trying to use one rod for different
techniques and applications can be extremely frustrating, and will
certainly equate to less fish in the well. |
