Post-spawn absolutely kills me every year!
So I've been wanting to learn deep water techniques. My question is -- am I better off spending a whole season taking 1 rod with me and just focusing on 1 technique? Maybe just go Carolina rig for a post-spawn/summer -- or should I rig all my rods with deep-water lures and throw everything til I get bit?
What do y'all do to "master" something new? I'm worried I might have a case of angler's ADHD  |
I have used the one rod approach many times to learn a new technique or pattern. Next thing you know you have too many rods on the boat all tangled together with different baits.
My approach to this time of year is simple, don't fish until you see something on the graph. Big crankbait, big worm, and big jig. You put one of those baits in front of a school of fish...one will want it. If not, move on to next spot.
