Ever wonder why some guys catch more fish than others? There are several reasons this could be. The right location, the right lures, and you being quiet are the keys to success. Some folks never think about how being quiet may hurt their odds of catching fish.
I always remind my customers that fishing has no difference with animal hunting. Whatever type of animal you would want to hunt or catch, you should always stay quiet and keep the silence. Silence will keep them still and prevent them from running away from you or from hiding in the bushes. The same way goes with fishing. Whether you are fishing for small trout or big trout, being quiet will not scare them away. So if you have company when you go fishing, tell them to remain quiet and avoid making other noises.
To get more fish, go to the right location where fish would surely see your bait. Clear water is a good location for you to see the fish but not good enough for the fish because, when you become visible to them, they would definitely ignore your bait. What you can do is to go somewhere in the water where it is off-colored. This was what I noticed; fish has less visibility on off-colored water, giving you the opportunity to do the tricks on them and finally make a large catch.
When I say off-colored water, I am not talking chocolate milk. Just off-colored and not so green or clear. What I like to fish is a grass flat with the deeper water at the edge of the flat being off colored.
On the grass flat I will use top-waters and out in the deeper water I like to throw the Sea Devils by Brown Lures in the Amber color. If the reds are up on the flats and will not touch any of those I will take a Gulp with just a hook and toss it close to them and let them smell it out and find it. This includes a few of the tips and tactics I have for the Matagorda Bay system.
Hope to see ya on the water.
