In the following you should find some helpful tips for the pro and novice alike.

1. You want lures that are bright and shinny. Before putting them away in the tackle box rinse them off and dry them.


2 You will get more strikes if you don't use a wire leader. Use  50 lb monofilament instead. If using a wire leader don't use a swivel.  Make a loop in the line with a Haywire Twist, and tie the doubled mono to the line loop with an Albright knot.


3. For the best lure action use a loop knot when attaching the lure to the line.


4. When fishing turbulent water use top water lures. The fish see them better.


5. Use circle hooks when possible.Their hookup rate is as good or better than the conventional J-hook. They also won't tear up a fish's throat.


5.To keep bait fresh and alive, wrap the bait in newspaper instead of just setting it on ice in a cooler. The bait will last longer.


6. Cool water is critical in keeping live bait alive. Incoming water is the best way to circulate oxygen to the bait but it an aerator is used change the water every few hours to remove the waste and replace the oxygen in the water.


7.The best way to connect a large diameter line to a smaller line is to use a connector knot as it passes through the rods guide better.
