"Small Baits, All Fish" In clear water situations, heavily pressured fishing areas, or around finicky fish a small bait or lure should get the nod. While big baits are great for big bites; they have major limitations in the above mentioned situations. Small lures are less intimidating to the fish, and rarely go by without getting noticed. In tough situations break out the small lures, you won't be disappointed! "Take a look around" Putting the rod down for a few minutes and just looking around (and more specifically watching fish in the water) is a great way to catch more fish. Watching fish swim naturally in the water, stalk and strike baitfish, and go about their normal business is a great info to have when it's time to catch them. It may be hard to sit and watch a redfish tail down a bank or a snook silently creep up on a unsuspecting mullet; but sit back and watch. Next time it's time to catch him, you'll be ready!

Groups like Snook and Gamefish Foundation and West Palm Beach Fishing Club are great organizations that do a lot of valuable work in helping protect, revitalize,and improve fisheries, fish stocks, and fish habitats. Supporting, volunteering, and getting involved with organizations like these is the least we can do as anglers! Not only will you be helping protect our fisheries for years to come, most likely you'll learn something. (Case in point...Don't miss Capt. Eric of www.freighttrainfishing.comtomorrow night at the West Palm Beach Fishing Club as he discusses targeting big snook, trout, and redfish from land!) |
