#5606, "RE: Opinions on Big California Swimbait fishing outside..." In response to In response to 0
IMHO There are 3 things to consider before deciding if
Swimbaits/Big-Plugs are appropriate to throw wherever and
whenever you're fishing. 1) Is there a population of large
fish? There are lots of places that look great but for a
variety of reasons don't have large enough fish to make the
bigger baits a viable option. 2) Is there a population of
large baitfish that can be imitated? Generally if you truly
have #1 covered, there has to be a forage base for them to
grow big on.
3) Is there a time and place that I can effectively present
the right bait to get bit. These baits won't get bit under
certain conditions.
Tight lines,
Wade
