All Just simply about FishingSurface Fishing Twitch Baits - 101

Gary Higbee
What is a "twitch" bait?
1st off, what is a "twitch" bait? I 1st detected
this term from my Brother-In-Law once
he saw me catching fish on one and mumbled, "I ne'er
could catch thing
on those twitch baits." A twitch bait is actually nothing much than a floating crankbait with a really small lip.The bait runs a few inches under the surface with a steady retrieve and returns to the surface once
the retrieve is stopped. Several examples would-be be the innovational Rapala(tm), or several of the floating Yo-Zuri(tm) lures but there are many a models and brands, so pick your favorite.
How do you fish it?
Now onto the important part, how to fish the bait as a "twitch" bait. This is a real simple know-how
but it requires several imagination. The whole idea is to imitate a dying fish on the surface. You've all seen them, those fish that do a few ripples on the surface and then swim a foot or so before returning to the surface once much due to exhaustion. This is no different. I fish it in several areas depending on the time of day and weather. One thing though, if its real windy out skip the small twitch bait and come to thing
that runs underwater or does a bigger surface disturbance. Au fond you wish want to cast the bait and let it sit until the rippes settle. Be available for a strike though, because I have had fish hit the lure once
it 1st lands on the water. Give it a quick jerk to do it dive forward and then let it surface. Twitch it a couple of times on the surface to do it ripple but not move. Repeat and mix up this process. Sometimes I wish give it two or three jerks to do it jump forward underwater. Different times I wish twitch it simply enough to come it forward over real shallow weeds to the next open hole. Here are the areas I concentrate on depending on the time of day.
Night to Early Morning Locations
Once
fishing one of these baits early in the morning I wish fish shallow weed edges or flats with several kind of cover. Commonly you wish be seeing the tail-end of the night feeding crowd that has been out on the prowl. As the light gets brighter they wish come closer to structure for ambush possibilities.
Mid-Day Locations
Here is wherever
you get to test your casting skills. Come up towards the thick weeds that have open pockets. Start casting to the close pockets and activity your way out. Come the boat quietly to avoid pushing the fish to different cover. If you don't cover all of a pocket on the 1st cast then throw back again, the fish power not come far from cover to get their meal.
Evening to Night Locations
Start moving towards the weed edges and flats again. The edges near the cover that you fished in mid-day seems to commonly produce. I have fished these baits with success at night but commonly come on to Jitterbugs for surface activity and Texas-Rig worms for fishing structure. I wish write an article before long on my experiences with night Bass fishing.
Conclusion
Hopefully I haven given you several ideas of what to do with those lures. It works for me and is my pullout know-how
once
all else fails. The idea is simple, you simply have to activity at until you get the technique. Feel free to email me with questions or comments simply about this article, or post your questions in the forums.
