Pro's Pointers: Have Fun!!!!! Whether you - re in a tournament or just fishing,
Don't stick to one style or bait. Always look for the active feeders. Try to stimulate a reactive bite. In a tournament, go after the bigger fish after you have you limit. The bottom line is to let the fish you catch tell you what they want; you can't force-feed them. Develop a pattern and duplicate; Never Give Up!!!
