Weightless Plastics

[Creature]

I believe I am fishing weightless plastics wrong.  What is the proper technique?

The only way you can fish wrong is throwing your bait on shore and leaving it.

Now...That's funny! And accurate.

Here are a couple of suggestions if you need some help:

#1 Fish soft plastics in/ on or near cover and structure.

#2 Slow down. Allow the bait to fall to the bottom and leave it there for a minute or at least fifteen seconds. Move the bait six to twelve inches with a slow, horizontal sweep and allow the bait to fall on slack line. Then let it sit again. Repeat until you feel you are "out of the zone."

Weightless plastics are great for weeds or brush. Rigged tex-posed, they are almost impossible to hang up, if you fish them slowly.

And, you have to fish them slowly. Weightless straight tailed worms and Super Flukes are a couple of my go-to baits for weeds. Pull them through the tops of the weeds, and let them sink into any holes or pockets, then let them fall along the outside edge.

Garnet is right, ( and funny ) you won't catch much up on the bank. But, try thowing one up on the bank and creep it into the water. At times, this is deadly.

Did I mention fishing it slowly.

Cheers,

Oh man, did someone say, slow?  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Them boys ain't kidding.  This alone has changed my "luck" big time.

Just make sure there are fish in your pond.  Could just be Buicks in there.  ;D
