It's that time

First Hour:

When fishing, there are clues that help us determine what bait to throw, where to throw that bait, and sometimes even the possible retrieve. These clues could be water conditions, weather conditions, and wild life in the area. They could be ways the vegetation is laid out, what type of vegetation it is, or even seeing that vegetation move. There are hundreds of clues that we apply to our fishing situations and most of them we probably notice and react to subconsciously.

List the clues you watch for when you hit the water to help determine a successful pattern or the specific location of a single fish?

Example: The color of the water. Or, I like to watch the cattails for movement.

Second Hour:

List the fishing conditions you come across while fishing and what type of bait you like to throw during that condition. Keep in mind the first hour’s clues to locating fish or determining a pattern.

Example: Water between 45-55 degrees I like to slow roll spinner baits. Or water between 45-55 degrees that is muddy I like to slow roll spinner baits with Colorado blades on them.

If fishing the mats I like to look for a movement in the mat and cast 3 ft beyond that movement

If water is muddy like throwing a darker color bait.

In the heat of summer I look for anything on the water surface providing overhead cover & shade from the sun.
