There is a situation that many of you have most certainly experienced at least once: while you fish for sea bass with the same equipment, the same lures and at the same depth, your neighbor takes catches while you remain empty-handed! The secret is simply in the animation of your lure, especially if it is flexible. Here are some tips to animate your lures and fishing trips!
Vertical fishing
Drifting, this technique allows to explore the relief of the bottom: it is here the shad (preferably from 12 to 15 cm) which is the most appropriate. First, you have to look for contact with the bottom, then raise your shad over about 1 m and finally walk it back to the bottom. The key is to operate with a natural and non-repetitive animation.
Fishing on the fly
Also known as linaria or rowing, fly fishing consists of throwing your lead-head lure and animating it while bringing it back to you: swipe it up, let your lure go down and keep grinding to keep in touch. It is then necessary to follow these steps, raise the rod and initiate a new phase of descent. Moreover, the predator often tends to attack during the descent, you must be on the lookout and especially close quickly!
This technique has the advantage of animating any type of soft lure in almost the entire water column.
Scratch fishing
Scratch fishing allows you to fish on the bottom in areas ranging from 1 to 20 meters to look for inactive or nested bass behind an obstacle waiting for prey. The principle is to remain in permanent contact with the bottom.
Launch and wait for your lure to hit the bottom, then make animations with small shots. Between each animation series, let the lure touch up the bottom while making sure to keep your braid tight to feel the strokes. Chain animations and relax until you bring your line back to you.
Fishing in traction
A so-called escape animation, it aims to give the illusion to the bar that its prey (your flexible lure) is trying to escape it. It is by carrying out large pulls (by means of a cane reading of 60° or more) to take off the lure that a reflex attack is created by the predator. The lure must be pulled up several times: you can then release it on the bottom by accompanying it or hold it for a few seconds. On the bottom you can make your lure move or make a dying prey believe, it's deceitful but effective! Here again, these different steps must be repeated until a sometimes brutal touch is expected.
