Think Like A Fish How To Catch Them Says Lagler
Karl F Lagler and Professor Taylor advise anglers to fish like a fish. Start with shoreline casting using a floating diving lure, move lure if water is clear, or wait before retrieving in cloudy water. If no bites, cast deeper with a sinking shaft and fish near lily pads, weed patches, or moss beds with a slow sinking lure. Stay quiet and unobtrusive in a boat and avoid loud splashing or chugging.
