Support your local Bait and Tackle shops

Over the past 10 years people have gone more and more to the major stores and less to the bait and tackle shops. Many bait and tackle shops in Indiana and across the USA have gone out of business due to the glitz and glammer of the major stores. The prices are usually the same but the people and the major fishing tackle companies have forgotten the ones who made fishing the sport that it is today. I personally have tried to get the major manufacturers to list local bait and tackle shops on their websites as authorized retailers of their products. They won't, but they will however list everyone of the major outfitters and retailers in the nation on their websites. Pushing the local bait and tackle shops further and further into bankruptcy. So what I am asking you, is to support your local bait and tackle shops and show that you care about the small mom and pop shops around the country, unlike the manufacturers.

Quick Bass fishing tricks for fishermen.

Dark color to Black spinnerbaits are good for overcast and night fishing for bass.
Light and bright to Chartreuse colored spinnerbaits during a bright sunny days. After casting let your spinnerbait fall for a few seconds then do a slow retrieve. Always test your spinnerbait next to your boat or along a pier to see how fast you need to crank your reel to provide your best action for your lure. When in the warmer waters bass are usually deep due to the low oxygen content in the shallows. I recommend using a diver to get down to where they are lurking. Bass are an aggressive hunter and need the cool water to supply them with more oxygen for hunting. When the waters are warm they are less aggressive and tend to move more slowly. Always search for bass in areas where they can hide such as stumps, submerged debris and grassy areas in coves.

Fall crappie fishing in Indiana's Lake Summit

Over the last few weeks I have been fishing at Lake Summit. The low water level was alarming as with most bodies of water here in Indiana. It seems that the water levels have drop dramatically this year and the temperature of the water is quite warm. Crappie season will be starting soon with fall coming on, the crappies I saw in lake Summit were of decent size. For the fisherman without a boat I recommend going to the fishing pier on the south side of lake. Just below the pier you will find some nice crappie's. According to locals the DNR dropped some Christmas trees under the pier and slightly to the north of the pier along the shore. So if your heading out crappie fishing soon in Indiana. Give it a few cold nights to cool the waters and checkout Lake Summit. Locals recommend a red headed, white bodied jig for crappies. I was able to pull some myself with a white bodied, chartreuse headed jig. Good luck and happy crappie fishing.
