Wayne Dial, long-time pro bass fisherman from Elizabethtown, meets with host Tim Farmer at Barren River Lake for a refresher. The two discuss lure selection, line weight and a casting style that Dial calls flipping and pitching. These basics are useful to casual anglers or if you make a living by whats in the live well.

Some more footage of me smallmouth bass fishing on Lake St. Clair, first start off with double header of two smallmouth bass I caught trolling on the lake. Trolling is a great way to cover a lot of ground, quicker way to hook into some smallmouth bass schools.

Me and my friend went fishing at lake Del Valle and caught a striped bass. It was 6lbs. 7oz. and was 27 inches long. After catching the fish I set up again and casted back out. About 10 minutes later another fish bit and pulled the rod out of the rod holder. I was not able to get the rod back. Before we left we went by the visitor center/ bait and tackle shop and had the fish weighted and took a photo to put on the wall in the shop. It was the biggest fish caught by anyone at the lake that day when we left.

Fishing for bass on Lake Okeechobee. Many 3,4,5 and 8 pound bass caught. All released

Experienced bass anglers have discovered that if they must find the pattern depth quickly, long, sloping points extending out into the lake are the answer. They can work from the shallow beginning of the point, moving deeper and deeper until they find a fish. Usually, the better points for this type of exploring taper gradually rather than drop off abruptly.

To be productive, these points should have deep water on both sides, and if a submerged creek channel swings close by, so much the better. A narrow point extending into the lake is better than a very wide point, because you can cover it in fewer casts and the fish would be more concentrated if they are somewhere along that point.

Bass, and especially big bass, demand plenty of deep water nearby. A point that meets this requirement should be a feeding station, and if bass are on it, you should find them. A creek channel adds a little spice to the terrain, but it is not really necessary. Work the point carefully, fanning your casts until you cover both sides. Then move down about a half cast and repeat the procedure.

Most of these points are really part of the secondary bank of the lake and may slope on one side and drop off abruptly on the other. If these underwater points have brush or other cover close by, they will be even better.

During the spring and fall, one of the best places for big bass is on lake points. Ninety percent of the time, the bass are taken along the points with deep water on both sides. They are actually tiny peninsulas extending into the deeper water. Without a depth-finder, you would be hard pressed to locate these points.

The normal tendency when fishing a point is to start shallow and continue working into deeper and deeper water. This method is generally productive, but you should be aware of other ways to fish the same area. Instead of starting along the shallow base of the point and fishing deeper, you may want to start in deep water and make your casts into shallower and shallower water.

It goes without saying that if you want to keep your lure along the bottom, it is much easier to fish from the shallows to the deep. But fish won’t always hit a lure in that direction. That’s why you want to vary your approach. If you don’t take a fish from shallow to deep, reverse the procedure and fish from deep to shallow.

A third way of fishing the same area is to keep the boat parallel to the drop-off and use a series of fan casts to move the lure right along the drop-off. By paralleling, you can work the lure up the slope for a short distance or drag it down the slope depending on your angle of cast.

Contour or topographic maps have become as useful to the bass fisherman as treasure maps were to the pirates of the eighteenth century. Without these informative guides, locating fish can be a difficult and time consuming task.
