| Take a close look at
this picture. There are several things to notice. The obvious
is that there is a great deal of plant growth above the water
line. This means that there will be bugs and other creatures
to draw fish in. If you look carefully at the water you can
see that the shoreline was originally covered with rip rap.
Also dead center in the picture you can see the head of a snake
which indicates the presence of other creatures that fish might
feed on. |

| This area could be
fished several different ways. First, consider what food source
might be present and imitate that. In this case we have bugs,
bait fish, crayfish, snakes, salamanders, etc.. Different species
could be feeding on different things. Start with something that
imitates a baitfish. Next, move on to plastic crayfish imitators
or plastic worms or lizards. Whatever you fish, try to fish
it as naturally as possible. When fishing plastics, be sure
to keep the boat out a little ways and try to land the bait
right at the base of the grass. Swim it slowly back to the boat
keeping it as close to the bottom as possible. |
