Preparing For a Fishing Trip

Preparing For a Fishing Trip

Being well prepared for your next fishing trip can help you put more fish in the boat. Part of being prepared has to do with having a variety of rigged rods that are ready to go. While some may accuse you of having too many fishing poles, there are many situations when those extra rods end up saving a trip. For example, if you're fishing for bass but happen upon a school of crappies, having crappie rods in your rod locker that are rigged and ready to go can make all the difference.

It's also a good idea to always keep a spinnerbait rod handy. While you're working the weed edges for fish on a quiet morning, you may often see bass and northern swirl on the surface as they are chasing down their next meal. These predator fish are quite easy to catch when they are in this mode if you cast a spinnerbait close to the surface swirl and start a slow retrieve.
