I am a student of angling. I refuse to stop learning or feel
that I have” arrived” to a point where I know everything. My goal as most of
you know is to learn to catch every type of freshwater fish out there regardless
of conditions, location, etc. So I have no shame in admitting when I don’t know
how to do something. I ask questions, tons of them!
Enter Nick, The informative Fisherman. This guy is a veteran
at this angling thing and I follow his videos religiously! Well Nick, like many
of the great gentleman who follow this page, is more than willing to answer
questions about fishing. Of course that means I often bother him with my
fishing inquiries.
Recently he explained to me how to catch bass during fall. Soon after he explained it to the world and
posted a video on this subject. I could give you an explanation but to be quite
honest I couldn’t do it as well as Nick. So here is the video.
So I took this information out to Boss pond and tried it out. Based on the advice I had received and the video I used a Rattle trap to get to the deeper parts of the water. I had a Strike King Red-Eyed Shad that I received in this Novembers Mystery Tackle box. One of my buddies was using a Mepps Spinner size #3, another was using a top water jitterbug. Out of the three of us I am the only one that caught a bass.
After that I decided to switch it up and see if anything
else worked so I did try out a top-water popper, and a couple of finesse
techniques but they didn’t prove very successful. We didn’t do much better
after that.
Well, that's it for me. I'll let you know about any future fishing trips. I will be taking a road trip to Texas for Christmas and you best believe i will have my rod and reel with me for this road trip!
Good luck out on the water and break that bank, folks!!
The Shad Rattle-Trap is also a good lure for Stripers.
