Cover Water for Fish

Now that spring is in full swing and the waters are still fairly cold, finding active fish can be a challenge. One technique that helps locate and catch fish is covering as much water as possible in a short period of time. Especially when fishing for bass we will be looking for active fish as opposed to working fish into biting. One lure that works fairly well in covering water and catching these fish is a lipless crankbait. There are many companies that produce these and find one that you feel will work for you. These baits you can cast a long ways out and are great for covering shallow water as well as deeper water also. Number one areas that these produce very well are shallower flats that have weeds on them. Cast the bait out and reel it back towards you while trying to knick the tops of the weeds coming back. If it gets stuck on a weed, rip it free and a number of times this is when the fish is going to hit. Try this out the next time you are looking for bass and you may be pleasantly surprised.
