Techniques
I use all artificial techniques for Bass, Stripers, and Crappie. Depending on the time of year we could be fishing in depths of 2 to 40 plus feet of water. Bait casting tackle is my preferred choice of tackle, but will utilize spinning tackle when applicable.
Bass- Techniques
crankbaits, spinnerbaits, swimbaits, jerk baits, jigs, soft plastics, top water, Alabama rigs most fishing is done in the daytime but i will do night fishing upon request in the warm months. 3-35ft depths
Striper Techniques
Jerk baits, Soft plastic jigs, Alabama rigs, top water, spoons, bucktails 5-60ft depths. Best times are early morning and evening and night fishing in warmer months upon request
Crappie Techniques
small soft plastic jigs, in depths of 8-40ft depending on the time of year and all fishing is during the daytime
