Fishing is like reading a book. The difference is that this is a living book.
Like a book, we begin by looking at the cover. Only when you're fishing cover are weather conditions. You look at the wind, sun, tides, humidity and air temperature and water. With this knowledge, you can make the decision about how you will be fishing – boat, kayak, or wading, using light or face fly. Then you can choose where to fish and what is going to fish.
Now that the basic decision-making is done, you can contact the water to make a little heavier "reading." As the row to see all the activity in the morning water. There are schools of mullet of all sizes and shrimp jumping from his life until very near the shore. If the source of bait is to flee, being chased by something, so to be a good place to vote. Looking down, there are crabs that lurk in the background. What are they fleeing? Notice the speed and direction, and use that information to calculate where to throw the lure. Pay attention to where the birds feed. I see especially for blue herons, pelicans and gulls. They are always in fish. Follow. If you know what to look for you to learn to read the wildlife activity in the water like a book of life. It tells you where to find the fish and they are eating.
Learning to read the structure of your site fishing is another way to catch the elusive fish. Look for the drains. These are the gaps in the islands that allow water to flow into or out of deeper water flats. I call these paths bait areas, and if the bait fish they are traveling, predatory fish are not far behind. Set on the sides of these roads, especially at peak tide changes.
I use a decoy for the rebuilding Topwater bone in the area. Once the fish are in a strike or blow, I switch to a soft plastic or weight or not, but always weedless. Then start fishing lure of choice Brown is a lure or Devil Eye Devil's Sea. There are lots of colors to choose from, and each of us have our favorite. My favorite is Little Pinky (pink with hologram silver). It has shown a light color for me in the muddy water over a year. This fishing method works well, and I use when fishing for fun, with the customers, or in tournaments.
Learning to read the weather, wildlife activity and structure will give you a definite advantage once you leave the water. The book of life is there, just have to learn what does all this and use it to your advantage. Give it a shot and let us know how works for you.
Please be courteous and water, and drink more than they put in trash. Happy Fishing!
