Have you ever before been on a lake and believed to your self or stated to your fishing companion, “We ought to have caught some fish by now”? Well, perhaps it is time to downsize. one reason to downsize is when the bass are heading through the stages between spawn and postspawn like they are now in Ohio. We all have heard large lures catch large bass and that is accurate but there is a time when big lures just do not cut it. When the bass are in the spawn to postspawn transition find the warmest h2o on the lake and attempt downsizing your lure.

When you’re fishing a lake and know what the bass are consuming, attempt to match it. Why throw a ten” worm when they are consuming four inch shad? That just does not make perception. So if you know what the aged bass is consuming then match the size of your lure to the prey.

Cold Fronts-This can be the worse fishing of all, especially if the front stalls. Bass turn out to be homebound, they do not move much from cover for certain. Now is the time to downsize and/or drop-shot that small lure.

Fishing Stress-one of my preferred lakes is getting more and more fishing stress every yr. Large lures can make the bass very picky and can spook them easily. Now is when downsizing arrives into play. I was fishing a lake just this previous month and hadn’t had a hit, I watched a guy who was using light line and a spinning outfit and a three” tube lure and he had caught about 6 bass. Guess what I did? Yep, downsized!

Right here are occasions when downsizing arrives into play:
Cold fronts,
Spawn to Postspawn,
Obvious h2o,
Falling H2o Temperatures,
Match the Prey,
Fishing Stress.

Just remember the strike zone is smaller sized and the fish hold nearer to cover in these situations.

Great Fishing to You!
