Show I ROM Till! MAIL DAG I hear a lot of fishermen say: "Man, look at that water. Dead, glassy calm. Ain't gonna be many fish caught today." Well, if they think that way they probably won't catch many. 01' lirer Tom welcomes wel-comes slick water because it can bring some exciting lopwater action. Just cruise around and look for underwater weeds. You can do thii when the waler is slick because it'l like looking through a plate glass window. Stay an easy cast distant because the calmer the water the farther away the bigger, smarter fish can hear you. Now is when I like to use floating, minnowlike lure that also dives when you reel it. Just chunk it over the weeds and let It lie itill, like a creature that hai lit on the water and U afraid to move for fear It'll get eaten. Count about ten, -l-o-w-l-l-k-e, then barely twitch that lure to breathe a little life into it. Let it lie motionless for another ten count. By now either you or a whopper basi looking at that lure has stood about all the waiting you can take, and tome goshawful explosions can occur! BRER TOM'S CLOSING TIP: If slow-and-euy-worked lures don't trigger strikes, go to the opposite type, a noisy, spluttering surface lure worked superfast over weedy areas. There are times when thi will take a limit of fish in short, memorable order! |
