As fisherman, we often have to decipher what type of fish we are planning to target each given day. While many fisherman elect to try to catch the most fish, some anglers employ strategies to really tackle the trophy bass. This post is going to give you Striking Tackle’s approach to targeting really big fish.
- Use Really Large Baits
It’s no secret that large bulky presentations can sometimes scare away bass. In fact they actually do scare away the majority of the bass in the body of the water. With that said however sometimes really big monsters have their minds set on really large lures. Often times this is the way a dominant bass explains to other fish that he is capable of consuming any prey of any size. Be patient as you most likely will have a slow day out on the water with minimal bites, however you can be sure that when you get that fist bite, that there is a real monster on the other end of the line.
