How To Catch Suspended Bass! (Fishing During The Fall Draw Down)

When water levels start dropping fishing gets tough! That is, unless you know where to look. As water levels fall, bass back away from the shore and suspend in open water. Targeting these suspended bass is one of the biggest mysteries in the sport of bass fishing. Today, we’re going to show you how we do it!

Most reservoirs have some form of Fall draw down. One reservoir will drop a few feet to reach Winter pool, another might drop 150 feet. Regardless of how far the water falls, the bass’ overall behavior is similar in both situations. Once bass begin to suspend most anglers will complain of a tough bite. They go from catching less fish, to catching no fish, to not even being able to see fish on the graph in a matter of days or weeks.

What do you do? You adapt! Today Tim is explaining where he looks for these bass and what he uses to catch them. His method is very simple, employing a handful of consistent lures to coax these open water fish into biting. Below are links to the exact baits (including exact sizes and colors) and some of the gear he uses to throw them. The links go directly to Tackle warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Blade Bait Tricks You Need To Try This Fall and Winter!

Most anglers have no idea how to fish a blade bait effectively. They might know that its traditionally considered a cold water lure but they have no idea it can be fished shallow around grass, worked aggressively, and even substituted for a lipless crankbait. Blades have so many uses in Fall and Winter, you really need to experience it for yourself.

Traditionally the blade bait is hopped slowly along the bottom in cold water. It gives a slight vibration on the hop then “dies” and flutters back to bottom. Its remarkably effective for trophy smallmouth in frigid water but for the average angler, its applications stop there. That original cold water use is still effective and should be a part of your Winter arsenal but today is about expanding how you fish the blade bait. We use 2 retrieves throughout the Fall to get consistent bites.

When the bottom is free of debris we fish the blade on the bottom. We use the exact same hopping motion as we use for the LV-500 to trigger a feed response. While that application is very traditional, you might be surprised to find out we often do it in 2-10 feet of water. The blade is not just a deep water bait, its incredibly effective in the shallows as well! The 2nd retrieve is a burning retrieve.

We cast and wind the blade much like a traditional lipless crankbait, ripping it free when it comes in contact with grass or other debris. When fish have been pressured by tournaments or negative weather conditions, the switch to the silent vibration of a blade bait is deadly. Blade bait season is just beginning, you need to get out and give it a try!

Below you’ll find links to our favorite blade baits along with the rods, reels, and gear we use to fish these baits effectively. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Bass Fishing Tips On Locating Bass

When you come to a good ledge of structure under water where the fish are known to be, it is a good idea to hit at them from all directions. When you use your fish finder and find just the right angles to focus on the fish, you can begin to drive circles around the location. Most anglers will drive their boats up to areas like this and cast, cast, cast and perhaps get one or two fish when so many more can be caught.

The market stores are flourished with these FISH FINDER TECHNOLOGY accessories. They can serve your needs and grab the best benefit when you are out for fishing. This article will deal in the information which is linked in wireless fish finders.

With the appropriate sensor, you can also set waypoints on the Furuno FCV585. With this feature, the unit will display your bearing, range, and how much time is left before you arrive to the next waypoint. The unit can also be set to emit an FISH FINDER TECHNOLOGY audio or visual alarm whenever you reach the waypoint. You can set up to 20 waypoints with the Furuno FCV585.

fish finder technology explained

Those who want more power can upgrade to a 4.3 liter MerCruiser Alpha I with 190 horsepower that’s carbon compliant for just $3,521 extra. For $5,914 boaters can get a carbon compliant 4.3 liter MerCruiser Alpha I with 220 Horsepower.

This is something that has been wildly effective for me. I was always a big fan of bright yellow and orange fluorescent lures. My logic was that the they will get the attention of the bass. Boy was I wrong.

On the other hand, if you are a professional or hope to be a professional one day then you might see things differently. Fishing is not just a hobby it is a job, and like with any other job time is money. Every moment lost searching for the hotspot is a dollar lost, why risk it? With the humminbird, gps fish finder technology it takes the guesswork out of it.

Obviously, this is all fine and dandy, but how much does a fish finder technology GPS cost? That’s the question o the hour. Actually, they are surprisingly cheap despite how advanced technologically they are, and you don’t have to break the bank to get one.

The last thing that I want to add here is that a portable Hummingbird fish finder is a great choice for the angler that doesn’t have a boat, or to take on a fishing trip where you can’t use your own boat and you’ll have to rent one. I’m sure that a company that rents boats won’t be pleased if you drill some holes into their boat to install your fish finder, so a portable unit is the best solution in a case like this.

Luring Canada Northern Pike

Blueys are known as this kind of for obvious factors but the correct name for this fish is the Pacific Saury. They have dark blue backs and silvery flanks, dotted with random blue blotches.

But it is this fear and respect that draws in us to angling for pike. I believe back to my last visit to the canal, exactly where it joins the river not much from where I live. It was close to dawn when I left my house, chilly and extremely nonetheless. There was no frost but the mist was thick. When I received to the drinking water I discovered a great spot that would allow me to solid upstream nearly to the canal lock exactly where there was a deep pool and also downstream to the much bank around 30 yards absent.

In the summer months pikes can be tougher to find and Pike Fish for large types demands that you have to fish in deeper layers of drinking water. With no wind it can be a difficult task and with this circumstances it is very best to fish in the night and the morning, while windy and grey weather often activates pikes in the center of the working day.

Prepare and give great talks to big audiences. You ought to have mastery of your subject, and in giving the speak, you should know that your personal appearance, gestures and audience contact are extremely important. You might also take questions at the end of the speak. But the most essential thing is that you will get paid out for advertising your book!

There are several hiking paths adjoining the campground and the tower is close by. My favorite location is the swing by the pond which is just a brief hike away. Inquire your camp host for instructions since this 1 is not on the maps.

If you are an avid angler, there are a couple of things you ought to know prior to you operate to your closest deal with store to purchase some much more PIKE FISHING lures.

But, it is trout fishing that produced Idaho famous. A big variety of trout, most of which are native to Idaho, are found in the rivers, creeks and stillwater places all through the state. Trout can be taken on bait, spinners and other lures, including flies. Some fishermen prefer lake and reservoir fishing from a float tube, kayak, raft or solid boat or from the shore, while other like trout fishing the rivers and creeks flowing throughout Idaho. Fishing from a drift boat is in style on the larger rivers, exactly where the fisherman may be on his own or be aided by an educated manual. Wading and shore fishing are also employed on these streams.
