Hints
 
 Rod and reels
 
 Reels have various lengths and casting accuracy. Use weight when
 making a line choice. Lighter line allows lures to go deeper, but
 also break easier. Heavier line will not break as easy, but may scare
 fish. 
 
 Choosing a boat
 
 Select an R. Series boat when first starting because of its good
 handling, powerful motor, and advanced fish finder.
 
 Lures
 
 Topwater
 
 This lure floats and can be popped along the water's surface to make
 a splash. It is best used when fish are near the surface (overcast,
 rain, afternoon). 
 
 Crankbait
 
 This lure remains close to the surface after casting, but dives when
 reeled in. Most Crankbait will remain in relatively shallow water.
 They are most effective in medium depths and in cold water.
 
 Spinnerbait
 
 This lure is quick, noisy, and can cover a lot of water. It is a good
 choice to use when testing the waters. Small and dark Spinnerbait
 work best in clear, sunny weather. The bigger, heavier Spinnerbait
 works best in mud. 
 
 Plastic
 
 These lures are often shaped like actual food (worms, lizards,
 crayfish). Naturally colored and smaller Plastics work best in clear
 water. Brighter and larger Plastics work in darker, muddy, or deep
 water. 
 
 Spoon
 
 These lures work best in heavy vegetation, matted up grass, and
 similar conditions. None of its parts will get caught up in plants.
 
 Jig
 
 This is a fair weather bait that works best in sunny days and clear
 water. They are not flashy, fast, or noisy.
 
 Lakes
 
 Old Hickory Lake
 
 Early morning: Stay near the north shore and the shallow water. The
 game will start very close to a good spot. Slowly pull up a bit to
 find a lot fish. 
 
 Midmorning: The north shore and vicinity are good places. Stay in the
 shallows in the morning. Water over hard and rocky ground is a bass
 favorite. The small inlets may also have some good fishing.
 
 Afternoon: The bass will tend to go near docks, poles, clusters of
 rocks, and sharp drops in depth.
 
 Lake Okeechobee
 
 Early Morning: The shallows will warm up first in the morning and
 attract the fish. Most of the shore and the area around the small
 islands is shallow. The south shore is a good place to fish.
 
 Midmorning: The three small islands and the north side of the lake,
 directly opposite those islands are good places to fish.
 
 Afternoon: Fish in the locations from the morning and midmorning
 hours. 
 
 Lake Shasta
 
 Early Morning: This lake has a shallow shoreline, with most of the
 remaining area very deep. Try fishing in the northern recesses, as
 well as in the muddy shallows at the northeast side of the lake.
 
 Midmorning: Try the shallow areas with structure, such as up north.
 The bass can also be found just beyond the shallows where a steep
 drop-off separates it from the deep water.
 
 Afternoon: Use your fish finder to search for bass. Stop as soon as
 soon as possible, look at the depth reading, and select the correct
 lures. 
 
 Retrieving lures
 
 Steady
 
 Retrieve your lures steadily in clear water and on sunny days, as
 well as when you need to quickly look around.
 
 Erratic
 
 Jerk the line from side to side to create movement while reeling in a
 loud spinnerbait or topwater lure in muddy or overcast conditions.
 
 Hopping
 
 Pull sharply on the line to hop a topwater lure along the surface or
 to pop a plastic or jig along the bottom of the lake.
