Never has it been more important to find alternative ways to bond with your child. With all the technology children have access to getting them out of the house has never been more of an issue. Don't let any more valuable time pass away. A Little George or Silver buddy on light line can be cast a "country mile"; they resemble forage fish to the bass.
Fishing with kids!
Bass bunched up on offshore ledges sand bars can be caught efficiently with a lipless crankbait, Use a fast-retrieve reel and a medium-action rod and "burn" the bait back to the boat.
When fishing vibrating lures, use a baitcasting reel with a high retrieve ratio.
The best colors to use for bassin' are silver with blue back, gold and also perch color. These will out perform other colors in most cases.
You can use different type of retrieves when you use a lipless crankbait. You can do a steady retrieve or you can stop and go. A lot of anglers make that mistake of stop and go and let the bait sink down to the bottom. You let it sink just for a split second then retrieve again, then so on. Good luck with your fishing.
Try a crayfish 1\4-ounce Rat-L-Trap in your local pond. Reel it as fast as you can and then stop for about 3-4 seconds and then start again. This will produce more fish for you.
Techniques for Surfacing Fish
When breaking fish are spotted, cast the spoon beyond the surface activity and hold the rod very high. Immediately begin a very fast retrieve, skipping the spoon across the top. If no strike occurs, stop and let the spoon fall on a tight line through the school.
Where to Fish Jigging Spoons
Over tree tops of submerged standing timber.
On the bottom, at the ends and deep sides of points.
Along deep drop-offs and channel breaks.
In deep brush and stumps replace treble hooks with a single hook.
