Come To My Neck Of The Woods For Some Great Fishing!
Welcome to this country girl owned and operated website which I like to dedicate to fishing. I absolutely love fishing, I tell my boyfriend all the time "If you try to go without me I'll just leave you at the house and go by myself!" Needless to say he always sees it my way. But about fishing, if you've never done it in Florida before you don't know what your missing. We got all the salt water species you could really want to go after at different times of the year(several migrations pass through). Fresh water is good all year(certain fresh water fish bite great in the winter too) and let me tell ya, our bass get really big! So come on down to Florida and cast a line, I'm sure you won't regret it! Using topwater lures to catch bass is one of the most effective ways to fish, but it can also be one of the most frustrating. Use these tips and tricks to catch more bass than ever. -1-The first step in effective topwater fishing is your topwater lure. When you choose a topwater lure, you want to pick one that resembles a bait fish from the water that you are fishing. Ex: If you are fishing a pond with an abundance of small sunfish, you want to use a topwater lure that resembles one. etc. -2-Once you have picked out a natural looking food source for the bass, you need to have the correct technique. When fishing a topwater lure, you want to cast as far as possible. Casting farther will often result in more strikes because you are covering more ground. -3-Once you have caste your lure and it has hit the water, let it sit for a few seconds. Fish often bite while or just after the lure has hit the water. -4-If your lure has floated for a few seconds with no strike, then begin to reel it in. Each lure should be reeled in a different way. It is often best to refer to the packaging your lure came in to see which way is most effective. If you have thrown away the packaging or are still unsure about how to reel, there are a few time tested techniques that almost always produce a strike. 1. The stop and go - just like it says reel, stop, reel, stop 2. Walk the dog - to walk the dog you want to make your pole perpendicular with the line and twitch the end as you are reeling in. 3. Twitching - reel, let the lure sit and twitch your rod, reel, ... -5-When a fish strikes, you cannot set the hook like on any other lure. Topwater lures are different in that instead of biting the lure, the bass suckes the lure into his mouth, then after about 2 seconds the fish will bite the lure. Because of this, when a fish suckes the lure from the top of the water, count to two before you set the hook. Otherwise you will try to set the hook and you will pull the lure from the fish's mouth. -6-That's all you need to know about landing that monster bass with a topwater lure. Good Luck!
