Tip
Tip: Find baitfish first, then fish the predators that follow them
How to do it: Locate baitfish and focus on productive weed beds and feeding zones where predators hunt
Mistake it fixes: Fishing water instead of fishing bait
Why it works: Predators follow food. Water that looks good but holds no bait is often empty, while bait concentrations predict predator location.
When it matters most: Predator fishing, lakes and rivers
