Can’t Get A Bite? 7 Tricks To Try When It Happens To You

The most productive bass anglers, on the other hand, are flexible and innovative — always ready to try something new or different when “regular” fishing tactics don’t produce. These fishing folks tend to be experimenters by nature, adapting their fishing methods as necessary in the face of changing or unfamiliar conditions. If the fishing is really tough, they may develop an entirely new technique for catching their favorite sport fish. They also rely heavily on tried-and-true ways that have their roots deep in bassin’ tradition. It doesn’t really matter if the trick is new or old as long as the tactic catches fish.

If you’re willing to think outside the box, consider some of the following out-of-the-ordinary tactics that seldom are used these days despite the fact that all provide great means for enticing largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass. Some of these “tricks” are as old as the hills but have fallen out of favor with modern anglers. Others are recent innovations that still aren’t widely known outside small circles of local fishermen. All are sure to increase your success rate wherever you wet a line.
