Fishing Tips and Tricks for Clear Waters
Here are some tips and tricks to help you catch more fish from clear water fisheries. These tips will get you "Tuned-in", regardless of the target species.
Jig-n-Pig Made Simple
For years I never caught a bass on a jig. I gave them a fair shot to produce fish and they failed. I thought they were obsolete. I thought I had a presentation for every situation that worked better than using a jig. But now I know, I was wrong.

wracking tension, explosive action, and relentless battle between people and beasts, are par for the course. It starts with the very process of being accepted as an angler or co angler. Bass fishing tournaments suffer from chronic shortages of supply relative to demand. New venues come up all the time, but the sport attracts such hordes by the day that you might spend more time on waiting lists to register for tournaments, than for check-ins during peak hour departures at the busiest airports! Traveling to and settling in at tournaments make distract you so much that so set out for a major series simply unprepared. The atmospherics are ruthless, both above and below the water! There is no margin for error, though the weather could be against you, and though you could quickly feel utterly exhausted. The physical strain of tournaments can be entirely foreign for anglers accustomed to a leisurely place for their favorite hobby. There is no known way of officially informing the fish that a competition is on, but the exceptionally aggressive bass seem to be born only to fight! Easy Tips to Perform Better at Tournaments Bass fishing tournaments should be taken seriously unless you simply want to lose some money, and make a fool of yourself in the bargain. Online registration, or on the telephone may be easy, but think through your readiness and schedule well in advance. The above average enthusiast would need nothing less than a month to get in to shape for creditable performance at the most competitive tournaments in the United States. A series will keep you on your feet for over 12 hours, for days on end, moving on water, with no comfort breaks, and the possibility of a mighty struggle at any second. Your heart beat could top 200 a minute and your body will consume a whopping average of over 4 thousand calories a day. There are two principal dimensions to preparation for tournaments: fitness and practice. Serious contestants will review their diets to ensure that they have plenty of the right proteins and a balance of everything else as well. Weight training and cardiac conditioning are norms as well. Make a detailed list of all the gear you need and assemble everything so that there are no risks of leaving anything behind. Remember that the sport will leave you no time to think or to recoup: it is a marathon, no-holds barred affair between your co angler and you on the one hand, and the bass and the elements on the other!
