After having to purchase bait fish for many years, I decided to get a cast net and try to catch my own shad for bait fish. It was an interesting, awkward and frustrating challenge for a while. I got wet, slipped and nearly fell a good many times. Thinking this through thoroughly, and understood that through perseverance and labor I could catch my own shad with a cast net. However, I was unacquainted with what to have for proper equipment or how to throw the net or where to catch the shad.

Over the last few years, the rivers edge is getting more & more crowded, as fishing pressure increases so does the amount of lures the fish will see in a day. Trying new methods of fishing can sometimes prove to be rewarding.

The type of fishing you'll do will dictate the kind of fishing rod you'll need. There are fly fishing, salt-water and spincast rods. For the beginner, a spincast can be a good choice since the rod can easily be cast with the press of a button. For the little ones, this is a great beginner rod. Many stores have miniature versions for

Another good way is to join an amateur fishing club and mix with the more experienced anglers. You will be able to learn a lot from your association with experienced fishermen. You will also be amazed at the tricks up their sleeve when it comes to making Bass lures indigenously. The best lure for bass is made from feathers and brightly colored.

Crappie fishing is rather easy, which is why it is great for anglers of all skill levels. The main thing that you need to keep in mind is that to have the most success you need to find the right depth where the crappie is located. Once you know the right depth you can have a lot of success reeling in the fish.

At New Melones Reservoir, despite the continuing snow melt, the water level dropped another foot last week. The water clarity is good and the temperature is slowly coming up, now averaging 76 to 81-degrees. Trout are showing signs of schooling over deep water and feeding on shad minnows. Trollers have been finding trout at 40 to 60 feet with Speedy Shiners, Needlefish, and ExCel lures. Night fishermen have been doing well by anchoring over fairly deep water and lowering their light to about 20 feet. This attracts plankton, which in turn, attracts shad, which will attract larger fish. Live minnows and nightcrawlers are choice baits. The kokanee numbers may be down, but the quality is good with some going 15 to 18 inches. Bladed lures may work well in deeper water as they create vibration which will attract fish. Scented corn on each hook is important. Big trout winner at Glory Hole Sports was, again, Bob James, of Murphys, with a 2-pound rainbow caught at 55 feet in the main lake. Big catfish winner was John Tennant, of Twain Harte, with an 11-pound, 15-ounce fish caught with sardine bait in the main lake. Bass fishing is good for those who specialize in that type of fishing. Hayden Lee, of Angels Camp, recently caught a 10 pound Largemouth Bass on a topwater lure and he had no net in the boat. He and a friend were able to boat the fish for photos before release.

The water temperature has an effect on the activities of bass fish. As such, it is important to always consider it when trying to catch one. When the water is cold, it is important to use slower moving bait. When the water is warm, you should use more aggressive bait.

As our seasons change, so does the cycle of the bass. The seasons can be quite beneficial to fisherman or detrimental to novices who don’t know the cycle of the bass and where to find them during different seasons. As the seasons change, so does the ability to catch bass. Most professional bass fishermen will know that it is extremely difficult to catch bass in the summer however, it is still possible and as the bass life time progresses, usually by summer you can find the biggest and juiciest bass. I have devised a series of tips which should be followed to ensure you are in the right place at the right time.

Lure choices can be broken down even further by utilizing my much written about principle of "search & finesse". Basically, I think all lures will fall into one of these two categories. Is it a fast moving, run & gun search lure; best used to cover lots of water and locate a hot, unpressured fish? Or does the lure require a slower retrieve, a twitch, jerk, or some other rod manipulation technique; better suited for a slow approach on a known hotspot, and a musky that has already seen plenty of baits? With this in mind you need to ask yourself questions 3 & 4:

Based on the time of year, there are many techniques used to catch a bass. The most common and favorite among most is the jig and trailer used year round, accompanied by a pitch cast. These movements alone are beautiful in their simplicity. Some who have mastered the pitch cast put a jig and trailer in an area the size of saucer from 50-60 feet away with little to no splash. The pitch involves a slight sway backwards, then a smooth step forward as you use your wrist to swing the tip of the rod forward toward your target. You release the bait from your hand at the precise moment and the bait will glide slowly just barely above the surface of the water to enter quietly at the spot that was being pitched

When it is in summer and later months, its best to use some attractive baits. The reason would be the murky waters which walleye thrive in. Try a fluorescent yellow or green lure. Run it across the bottom with perhaps a pickerel rig. A pickerel rig is designed to allow a weight to drag the bottom and 2 hooks (or more) come of the main line. I’ve had lots of success with leeches and leech products (fake leech – with smell) catching walleye. But this only works if they are hungry, as they are hard to see. I would be more inclined to use something colorful.

There are some common techniques that people use. One of them is putting a night crawler on a spinner and trolling an area. They also do it the same way with minnows. There are many other techniques but these are the most common ones. Other techniques to choose from are the use of crank bait, jigging, suspended trolling, windblown shore line, and casting. One of the better ways to fish is to try a few techniques and use the one that works the best. It also depends on the time of year, weather, and moods of the fish.

Just about any type of live bait will work as amberjack aren’t finicky. Also, the depth of your bait or lure really doesn’t matter—These fish will grab food or artificial bait wherever they land.

Fish often hit lures just below the surface, or deep down using down riggers. Lake trout are often found near the bottom in deep water and usually catch by anglers fishing heavy jigs tipped with bait (dead minnows, sucker meat or night crawlers). Thick weeds are found near shore in many areas. If you work a small jig tipped with bait along the deep-water side of the weed beds you may be able to catch rainbow trout, perch, tiger trout, splake, lake trout, and even kokanee salmon.
