Cheating At Fishing Tournaments

Fri, 13 May 2011 01:23:26 +0100

This should have never up in the Fishing atmosphere. This just shows how people act when it comes to money. People that need to cheat to win a fishing tournament should have never left the couch. I guess banning people from fishing isn't working anymore. This is so sad it makes me sick to my stomach. If i find out that someone is cheating in tournaments i fish there will be words and said and maybe a quick right hook or a swift kick to the face.

Crank Bait....REPLY

Thu, 12 May 2011 05:54:21 +0100

The way I always figured how to fish crankbaits was to match what the fish where feeding on. Spring, crawfish. Summer and fall, adult baitfish deep and bream and crawfish shallow. Winter, small baitfish. Colors will vary depending on water color.

FROG TIME

Wed, 27 Apr 2011 01:24:59 +0100

Okay Anglers! It's time to get out the heavy equipment and the braid. Now this subject is tough to talk about because theres a thin line when it comes to picking which type of frog is the right one to use. Now when it comes to using the "HOLLOW BODY FROG" I like to use a 6'6" to 7' med-hvy to heavy rod and 65lbs braid for these frogs. When I throw a "TOAD" for example (Zoom Horny Toad) I like to use the same equipment set up for these also. When throwing the hollow body frog you must make sure to have slack line when your trying to walk the bait. It takes practice to get the rhythm down, trust me I know. It took me about six months of practicing to get it down. It's kinda like fishing a spook or top water walking bait but its a little slower. I like to throw this bait in the grass or on the edge of the grass. When it come to throwing the toad since its like a buzzbait I like to throw in and around pretty much anything. I will throw this lure into a tree lap (lay down) just like a jig. When retrieving it I will hit every branch and limb I can. Now don't be afraid to throw any of these lures in open water.

FLIPPIN & PITCHIN

Mon, 25 Apr 2011 22:42:31 +0100

Todays topic is about "FLIPPIN & PITCHIN". I was sitting around the house thinking to myself about how to get the best "FLIP & PITCH" into the most productive spot. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to get that good is to PRACTICE, because we all know that practice makes perfect. Here are some tips that I use to help me practice accuracy down. Now we also know that there is no such thing as perfect but there is always close to perfect. I will setup an small round container and attempt to "FLIP & PITCH" my lure into the opening. Once I can get it in the opening constantly for about a hundred times. Then I will take that same container and put it under something that I can pitch under and get the lure into the container. Once I can get the lure in the container with that obstacle in the way. I will start to attempt FLIPPIN and do it the same way as PITCHIN. I try to practice this whenever I'm not on the water. Because when I'm on the water i want to have all the confidence that I'm going to place my lure where it needs to be so I get those big bites. We all know that big bites equals big money at the end of the day.

Taken it slow

Today I was thinking about my lure presentations. And I have come to the conclusion that you always need to try new retrieve speeds when your lure is in the water not what your fishing. Say if your fishing a "Shakey Head" there are many different ways to fish this lure. You can drag it about a six inches and then shake the slack line, or you can just drag it. Say your fishing a "Crankbait" you can fish it with a normal speed of the reel, or you can speed it up, or you can reel it real fast and stop it. Now just because its a crankbait you can also fish it steady and give it a little jerk now and again. When your fishing a crankbait your looking for that reaction strike so do whatever you can to cause the fish to hit. Say your fishing a "Spinnerbait" try the same thing as the crankbait because there a again your looking for that reaction strike.
