Fishing With Live Worms - Easy Ways to Find Fish From the Bank

Рет қаралды 182,574

5 жыл бұрын

When it seems like you can't find any easy fish from the bank, here are a couple things to try when fishing with live worms. Sometimes all it takes is a bobber adjustment to start catching fish. When you raise the float up higher on the line, the worm will be closer to the bottom. To target fish near the bottom, a drop rig might also help. Today I was able to catch a few nice Bluegill and an awesome shellcracker (red ear sunfish). Whether you are a beginner or you just want to catch a few fish, you can use live worms a few ways to help you find them easily.

Googan recently made a video advertising that they were making a fishing team and that you could apply to join the team. Turns out they accept every application and give you a generic code (it's the same code for everyone) to get 10% off on their store. That's it.

Great vid. I was on vacation last week down from the frozen North to Florida. Was able to fish for the first time this year. One day I devoted to fishing live worms on a number 6 Aberdeen hook and a small split shot. Off of a dock my son and I caught over 50 Bluegill. It was a great day.

Have become friends with the man who just painted my house and he hadn't been fishing in a couple of years. Took him out this afternoon. He got 4 bass and 2 crapie in about 3 hours. The largest he got was pushing 3 lb.. Didn't have much time to use my rod while guiding but did get one over 4.5 lb. for myself. He just loved it.

He fishes grass and tells you to throw a swim jig, down here there is no grass and barely any wood
