How to catch big bass or walleye?
i need 2 know how 2 catch big fish i can catch a lot of bass but no big ones n i cant catch walleye very much.
Have the sunfish spawned in your area? Have the shad spawned in your area? Have the bass started spawning in your area? If the sunfish are up shallow, getting ready to spawn, are spawning, or have spawned, then use any crank baits, swim baits, or spinner baits that imitate sunfish, big bass usually wont be very far away. Better yet, use a live bluegill as bait, even if you don't catch anything, you'll definitely see allot of big bass when using a live bluegill, this will let you know where the big bass may be holding, and then you can refine your tactics for later on. This is true for shad also! Try using bigger baits also, bigger bait, bigger fish, you might not catch big numbers, but the ones you do catch will be big. If the bass have started to spawn, or are getting ready to spawn then you may want to try 6 inch or bigger plastic night crawlers rigged texas or wacky style, give a nice high cast so that worm makes a decent splash when it hits the water (like a bird has just dropped it from high above). Blue/black jigs work very well this time of year also, try bumping a jig across the bottom, or try swimming a jig across weed tops, around any brush, or any rocky structure. After the bass in your area spawn, you can use the above mentioned tactics but SLOW them down. After the bass spawn they hold off in a little deeper water, there exhausted from the spawn and don't want to use the energy to chase down prey, so you need to put that lure right in there faces and keep it there for a little longer then normal. Are you fishing a lake? Is it stocked with Trout? If so then use swim baits, or jerk baits that imitate the stocked trout, like a rainbow trout colored rapala x-rap, always start big then go to the next size down when nothing hits on the bigger sizes. Big bass love to eat stocked trout, but so do muskie haha. I don't know very much about walleye, as i am just getting into walleye fishing, i see them at the lake, i know there in the river, ive tried trolling for them, ive tried casting different walleye lures to them and just cant catch the elusive little buggers. But when i ask around, everyone just says "fish a night crawler on the bottom and you'll catch walleye" so weather that works or not im not sure. Think i might try a night crawler on a lindy rig next time i go out. Well i hope all this helps you out, tight lines, and Good luck fishin' !
