FISHING TIPS FROM KATHI

AS SUMMER ROLLS IN, FINDING FISH IN DEEPER WATER CREATES PROBLEMS FOR SOME ANGLERS. WHEN LOOKING FOR UNDERWATER STRUCTURE, I TAKE A CAROLINA RIGGED HAMMER ROD WITH THE IZORLINE BRAID AND 12 POUND LEADER WITH THE IZORLINE COPOLYMER RIGGED A MOLOPO LIZARD OR TIKI STICK AND DRAG IT ACROSS THE AREA I AM FISHING. IF THE LEDGE OR HUMP HAS ROCKS. GRAVEL, MUSSEL SHELLS OR STUMPS ON IT, I WILL SPEND  EXTRA TIME THERE FISHING LOOKING FOR THE "SWEET" SPOT. ANY AREAS WITH THESE TYPE OF STRUCTURE ARE WELL WORTH TAKING AS LITTLE EXTRA TIME TO FISH BECAUSE THEY USUALLY HOLD FISH.

ONCE YOU FIND AN AREA LIKE THIS YOU CAN SWITCH TO A DEEP RUNNING CRANKBAIT, SLOW ROLL A 3/4 OUNCE SPINNERBAIT OR TEXAS RIG WITH A BIG WORM OR STAY WITH THE CAROLINA RIG TO CATCH THE FISH ON IT.
