smart fish, stupid person.  he obviously is doing something that prevents you from catching him.

whenever you can find the time!   the fish are always in the water.  you only have to locate them and find out how to entice them!

Well, get a bank that is accessible, and hopefully flat.  If you happen to see any type of "downed trees" fish around there for bass, or, around rocky shores.  They love to hide in the rocks, but then again, you need to use a barber or float to save your hooks and lines.\n\nFor catfish, fish around embukments or pilings or piers.  \n\nI use worms for all fish.  Chunks of fish for catfish, doughball, or smelly chunks of raw meat that has been setting in the sun or has a strong odor.\n\nFlies, and spinner baits for bass.  Rappellas for deep water, off of piers, or boats.

Pay close attention to the water colors ,especially on days with good water visibility.Green is usually sand,brown is usually a reef of some sort.And remember the old saying "brown brown, run aground" so be careful. When you find one of these reefs,look to find objects that line up when you are on your spot.try to get 2 ranges so you can triangulate.If you only have one, run down your range line till you see color change in the water, or if you have a bottom machine run untill you see the density of the bottom get hard , or the bottom shows some sort of break or hole!Good fishing and may the fish gods shine upon you !

If you have to get an answer for that, you are in the wrong business..\nThat is like a fisherman asking where to catch fish.

In clear water, with a blue sky overhead, try a fairly dark coloured plug or jerkbait, along the lines of those you would use pike fishing. You can also try spinners, no particular kind, as they all work well on the right day. Just have a small selection of different colours and sizes. I prefer the mepps super vibrax, or the rublex ondex in sizes 4 - 6. Harris angling sell them for about £3 each, and there indesructable.\n\nIn overcast and cloudy water conditions, use the same types of lures and spinners, but opt for the ones with brighter colours.

Renting a boat will always increase your odds there,This time of year reaction baits work well,try Lucky craft pointers ,rapalas,etc..shad color will increase your odds as well.Try dropshotiing worms like roboworms in martin madness,margarita mutalator,chocalate worms with blue,purple or black viens work well.I would stick to the buzz baits early in the A.m. those should work.try spinnerbaits etc as well in white , silver etc..try to fish the water around 5-15 ft. deep as the lake has steep walls and 3 feet from shore could be 10 ft. deep.

It really depends on what type of fish you are trying for and what time of year it is. As a rule of thumb, early in the morning is a good time, specifically at sunrise. \n\nWhat type of fish are you wanting to catch? Where are you going to fish (lake, stream, river?). Once you know those answers, we can help you farther.

This time of year it can be hard to trigger strikes - contrary to popular thinking.  I'd use some sort of floating crank that dives to no more than 3-4 ft. upon retrieve.  Anything in a shad color will work since that makes up a significant portion of bass diet this time of year.  If you're fishing over milfoil, cast to the edge, retrieve quickly for the first 3 or 4 feet and then let it float back up to the top.  It simulates a shad scurrying away from the bass which usually makes them come out and hit it.  Stop and go retrieves tend to work really well at this time of year.  If you're hell-bent on using cranks, go for it.  Let me suggest, however, floating worms in the early and late parts of the day.  They are killer here in NC.  Zoom puts out a color called tomatoe that I've had a lot of luck w/ lately.  Don't forget about the trusty ol' buzz bait either, you can usually do some damage w/ one of those if you throw it up to a grassy bank and just slow roll it.\n\nGood luck.

Try using a minnow or even what they call Chubbs..Which is another type of minnow but you can catch them in the stream!!!Good Luck!!!

You should be able to find plenty of accessable areas to fish plastic worms from the bank.  Look for coves, inlets with grassy bottom.  Also fish visible and submerged points, and don't forget the occasional dock or two.  Also, if you can't afford a boat and want to access more areas, try a float tube.  They are easy to use and pretty cheap.  Good luck.

ask local fishermen.\nthe bes way i know is troling with jigs. you can also cast spoon baits from a pier or jetty, if they are in a feeding frenzy reel in fast so the bait is close 2 the surface.
