5 LITTLE MISTAKES THAT MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE
BASS EFFICIENCY:AVOID THESE 5 FISHING BRAIN LAPSES
BE ON YOUR A GAME!
5.) CHANGING LURES TOO FREQUENTLY:
If you’re changing lures, you’re not fishing. Sometimes hooking a big fish just means getting something (anything) in the right spot at the right time. But if you’re changing lures instead of casting, you might let that structure zip by and miss your opportunity. That’s why you should stick to confidence baits when the bite is slow.
4.) THE PLOP:
During slow stints, the first thing to go down the drain is care about how the lure you’re casting or pitching lands in the water. A big, fat plop usually doesn’t get the result you want. Silence is deadly.
3.) TOO MUCH JIBBER-JABBER:
Too much talk often equals too little concentration. Some of the all-time great bass anglerssay very little during the day, sometimes to the point of being Zen-like.
2.) MORE FISHING, LESS TIME WASTING:
The moments that make the biggest difference often occur infrequently and when you least expect them. Spending 35 minutes sipping on a Fanta and spooling up your crankbait rod during the critical morning bite, you’re not putting fish in the boat.
1.) THE ANGLE OF THE DANGLE:
Recognize that a Texas-rigged plastic with a kink or bend in it (see photo), or a jig trailer that’s hanging halfway off the hook makes a big difference in getting bites. Take the time to make sure worms and plastics are rigged straight and dangling true.
