IMPROVE YOUR FISHING

[genec]

I AM NOT INTENDED TO COVER IT ALL BUT I COME ACROSS MANY WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE JIGS NOR HOW TO USE THEIR UNITS WELL AFTER SPENDING MUCH MONEY FOR THEM;1 IF POSSIBLE GET A GOOD GPS,2D,DI AND IF YOU CAN SI,LEARN YOUR UNITS, HOW TO INTERPRET IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN A GREAT PIC,MANY I KNOW CAN ONLY TURN THEM ON AND TELL YOU HOW DEEP WATER IS AND THAT IS ALL,2 LEARN MAPS,BEING ABLE TO PICK OUT GOOD STRUCTURE BEFORE YOU GET TO LAKE,MANY WILL HAVE PUT BRUSH ON THESE SPOTS; 3 KNOWING SEASON HABITAT OF YOUR FISH; 4 IF JIG PERSON ,MASTER YOUR JIG,MORE TO IT THAN CAST AND WIND,FIND A SPOT THAT IS LEVEL IN 10 T0 15 FOW AND CAST AND CONT IT DOWN, WHEN IT HIT BOTTOM SLOWLY WIND FOR AWHILE THEN STOP AND COUNT DOWN AND SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES TO HIT BOTTOM AGAIN,THIS WILL TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT HAS RAISE OFF BOTTOM,NOW USE ANOTHER SIZE JIG AND DO THAT AWHILE UNTIL YOU GOT IT PIN DOWN,I MOSTLY USE 1/32 AND SOME 1/16 SIZE ON 4 LB FLOW LINE;HAVE A LIGHT SENSITIVE ROD,DO NOT HAVE TO COST MUCH OR BE THE BEST,REMEMBER A GOOD JIG PERSON CAN TAKE A BAD ROD AND OUT FISH A BAD FISHERMAN WITH A GOOD ROD SO MASTER IT;7 BE VERSATILE,BUT MASTER ONE STYLE BEFORE GOING TO ANOTHER,A GOOD JIG PERSON SURE CAN MAKE FISHING ON BAD DAYS LOOK EASY;8 WHEN YOU GO OVER STRUCTURE AND SEE FISH ON DI,STOP UNIT AND FISH THAT DEPTH ,THEN LOOK AT YOUR FISH AND LOOK AT UNIT TO DETERMINE SIZE OF FISH ON UNIT, ALSO LOOK AT DEPTH SETTING ON UNIT SO YOU CAN KNOW WHEN YOU GO OVER NEXT SPOT OF FISH,ARE THESE DOTS THE SAME SIZE OR SMALLER ,AFTER AWHILE YOU KNOW WHEN TO STOP AND WHEN NOT TO STOP;IF YOU HAVE SI AND LOVE TO FISH DOCKS IF YOU WILL TILT YOUR SI DUCER JUST A LITTLE TO RAISE IT ON RIGHT SIDE ,YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE BETTER UNDER THE DOCKS TO TELL IF FISH ARE THERE WITHOUT HURTING YOU WHEN YO ARE LOOKING AT OTHER OBJECTS,AFTER ALL WE MOSTLY GO DOWN A RIGHT SIDED OF BANK AND IT IS COMING UP ON THAT SIDE DUE TO THE BANK ANYWAY,I ALSO HAVE A DI THAT IS TURN SIDEWAYS TO SEE UNDER DOCKS BETTER THAN SI WILL,ALSO WHEN YOU SEE FISH UNDER DOCK ,COUNT THE POLES OR FLOATS TO WHERE THEY ARE AT AND HOW FAR THEY BACK FROM FIRST FLOAT OR POLE,HOPE THIS HELPS SOME THAT ARE JUST LEARNING AS WELL AS SOME OTHERS,GOD BLESS .MAYBE OTHERS CAN GIVE SOME TRIED AND TESTED EXAMPLE

THANKS GUYS,I KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME GOOD FISHERMEN ON HERE THAT KNOW ALL THIS HOWEVER I DO A LOT OF CAMPING AT THE LAKE AND IT WOULD SURPRISE YOU HOW MANY FISHERMEN THAT HAVE ALL THESE ELECTRONIC AND CAN NOT HARLY TURN THEM ON MUST LESS READ THEM,THEY WERE EXPECTING TO BE ABLE TO PUSH A BUTTON AND THEN KNOW WHERE THE FISH WERE AND HOW TO CATCH THEM AND THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED AND THEN ONLY USE THEM FOR DEPTH,SO I WOULD GO SET THEM UP FOR THEM AND SHOW THEM HOW TO INTERPRET THEM,THEN I WOULD HAVE TO SHOW THEM HOW TO FISH THOSE FANCY BAITS WITH THEIR REELS,ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION ALL WOULD FISH BAIT TOO FAST AND NEVER COUNT IT DOWN TO WHERE THE FISH ON UNIT WAS SHOWING FISH.THEY WOULD BUY THE LATEST FAMOUS BAIT AND THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO CLEAN HOUSE,IF ONLY THEY WOULD BUY A FEW PROVING BAITS ,A DECENT ROD ,GOOD LIGHT LINE AND COULD GO ONE TIME WITH SOMEONE THAT KNOWS HOW TO USE THEM IT WOULD CHANGE THEIR WORLD,THAT IS WHY I TRY TO HELP THEM.MANY TELL ME BY SHOWING MANY SO MUCH THAT IT WILL HURT YOUR FISHING BUT I BELIEVE IF ONE KNOW HOW TO FISH FAIRLY GOOD HE IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT OTHERS AND IF IT DOES HURT SO WHAT,WE ARE PUT HERE TO HELP OTHERS AND NOT TO JUST KEEP EVERYTHING TO OURSELVES,OCCOARSE WE HAVE TO BE AWARE OF THOSE WHO GET YOUR INFORMATION AND WILL NOT TELL ANYONE THINGS THEY HAVE LEARN,THOSE I LEAVE ALONE AFTER KNOWING THEM.I HAVE MANY TIMES COME IN AND TALK TO CAMPER AND ASK HOW THEY DO FISHING AND THEY SAID FISH WERE NOT BITTING AND ONLY CAUGHT A COUPLE,THEN WOULD ASK HOW I DID AND I ALMOST HATED TO TELL THEM I HAD CAUGHT OVER A HUNDRED,SO I WOULD TELL THEM TO GET IN MY BOAT EVEN THOUGH I WAS TIRED AND WOULD CARRY THEM OUT FOR AWHILE AND SHOW THEM HOW I FISH AND THEN SET MY ROD DOWN AND COACH THEM,THEY ARE PLEASE AND YOU ARE PLEASE,WHAT MORE IN LIFE SHOULD WE ASK?THIS IS GOD'S WOURLD AND I AM THANKFUL HE ALLOWED ME TO VENTURE THRU IT,PRAISE HIS NAME
