Reading the Weather for Largemouth |
|
Weather plays a huge role in fishing. When the weather is right, the fish are more active, and you get more bites. But when the weather is wrong, just the opposite occurs. The fish get lockjaw, and it can be difficult getting them to strike. This is why it's important for anglers to be able to judge weather conditions and pinpoint the days when they will have higher odds for success.

This is why it's important for fishermen to keep up with new baits and ways to use them. He believes that to catch more bass, many anglers would benefit from "out with the old, in with the new."
