I came up with an idea for creating a fish attractor that hopefully would do two things: Provide shade and provide protection for fish spawning. I read about spawning benches and contacted several people about the dimensions of the benches and learned that anywhere from twelve inches to eighteen inches worked well.

Here are some presentations and tactics using a bait I call a zoomie developed by a fishing buddy and my wife as well as myself. We have caught a lot of bass using the following methods. I start with a package of Zoom Speed Worms in Watermelon/Red. I cut off the tails at the narrowest part of the worm. I rig the worm weightless, texposed on a 2/0 bent shaft worm hook. I first tie the hook to the line and then texpose the hook. When texposed properly, the worm will hang very straight on the hook. This lure immediately looks very much like a Senko type bait, but it has no internal salt or sand to weight it down....it has a very natural slow fall on its way to the bottom. This gives the bass a good chance to see it on the way down and not being in a hurry makes it look like easy prey.

Many of the older jon boats we buy today are not equipped with livewells, and in order to fish tournaments, we're required to keep fish alive by means other than a stringer. A cooler or Rubbermaid container can accomodate the requirements with added aeration - this livewell mod takes it a step farther...

It is no secret that crappie love structure. Why else would anglers spend so much time making and adding structure to bodies of water for their “honey holes”? Adding structure to a lake is a proven way to increase your catch limits, but there are countless other natural structures that will do the same. Drop offs, creek channels and stumps are just a few of the hidden features that will hold crappie. To find these features you have to rely on your sonar, but there is another and possibly better way.
