Fishing Clear Water

[jig rig]

There's been some discussion on how to fish clear water. This is how I've been successful catching on those lakes.

1)I use a 20/20 or 20/10 zebco reel with 6 or 8 lbs test line mono on a long lite action casting rod.

2) Use the flimsy tip to whip your bait for further cast. Use the wind to your advantage.

3) i Like to start with a black n chartreuse 3 tail on 1/16 minnow head jig head.

4) Fan cast while slow rolling your jig. Try stop n go bouncing of the bottom etc.Sac's love grass and will relate to it.Let the fish set the hook.


5) If you start catching and losing bass, go to as bigger jig with a bigger hook, I use my salt water jigs and just cut some of the lead off to lighten things up.With bass I'll go to a 4" worm or a 4" lizard this time of year.Make sure you leave to hook exposed and let the fish set the hook. Just keep reeling at a steady pace.

Could you give the "For Dummies" explination of that?
