Meal Matching

Observe live local forage & present a similar profile:

  • Check the livewell for regurgitated meals
  • Feel a fish’s belly for large or small prey
  • Look under docks at the ramp
  • Turn over shoreline rocks
  • Google the indigenous forage and check the average sizing

Mood

  • General lethargy common to post-frontal days typically calls for the smallest version a particular bait
  • Aggressive, more active fish often requires a more substantial profile

Fish Size
