Fast pace fishing

To fish at a fast or slow pace is a question we ask our
selves a lot. It will really depend what style you
prefer, but there are times that you must do both. To
fish slowly is something that I will do once I know I
have located a school of or a pattern that requires this
slower past. But I prefer the faster pace of fishing.
What I’m really talking about here is fishing for
active fish, fish that have moved into a feeding
position. Fish that will be sitting on a small rock bar,
along a stump, or into the edge of a grass bed.
The lures that I favor are going to be a spinner bait,
rattletrap, buzz bait, and a jig. I can fish all of these
baits effectively and quickly.
I will fish all of these baits at a face pace burning the
spinner bait past the cover and then killing it (letting
it free fall), the rattle trap which is very effective
with all styles of fishing is a great bait to burn past
cover, especially in weed beds, whenever the bait snags
in the grass I will rip it free with a quick rip of the
rod tip ripping the bait from the grass and this is when
the bass will inhale the lure out of reflex. A buzz bait
is a big fish bait and I’ll fish it on twenty pound
test line on flats in or around treetops along rip rap,
and in grass beds focusing on the points and holes in the
grass. And last but not least, a jig, some people
don’t realize just how fast you can fish a jig, I
love to flip it in creek and river channels hitting every
piece of cover I can find with the trolling motor on high
I will look for the thickest part of the cover and make a
flip into it, let the jig fall to the bottom shake it
real quick and on to the next piece of cover. I will see
most of the cover under water and its because of my
coasta del mar sunglasses that will put about 75% of my
fish in the boat for me. I fish with people all the time
who past up cover because they never saw it in the first
place. I really recommend a good pair of sunglasses made
for fishing.
Awareness is the doorway to fishing success
