When fishing is slow, as it seems to be most of the time, slow down your fishing and use small lures with natural look, feel and smell/taste like Berkley Gulp!. It's scientifically proven to catch more fish.

Be a note taker. Every time you catch a fish, ask questions. Why was that fish where he was, how deep was he, what's the water clarity, what's the depth, what kind of cover was he near. By asking questions and taking notes, you will be able to better put together the pieces of the puzzle.

I am a power fisherman. Power fishing is a broad term used to describe using reaction style lures to cover vast amounts of water. Included in this power fishing style, my favorite way to catch bass is skip pitching and swimming a jig. Skip pitching involves using a conventional reel and getting a jig to skip far back under cover. Swimming a jig involves slowly pumping a jig at various depths horizontally through the water column.
