Fishing How To

First off we have the crank bait. This lure is a very good lure to use, it resembles real live prey such as minnows,crawfish, and so on. When fishing with a crank bait you should change your presentation depending on the conditions. If it is warm out I found that when you cast and reel in with sudden twitches and jerks you get more action. When it cold out you should have frequent and long pauses so the inactive fish can get a chance to bite the bait bacause they arnt very active.

Here we have the spinner bait. This is a very good lure when it come to catching bass. When using the spinner bait lure there are two main types of presentation. The first one is a steady retrieve in which you would cast the lure out and jut reel in at a steady speed. The second is a stop and go retrieve in which you would cast out and give your line a quick jerk making the lure jump and then letting it fall to the bottom. Note: The large and Small Mouth bass usually bite the lure on the fall. Keep doing this until the line is reeled all the way in.
