PLAYING 'HARD TO GET'

Generally speaking a lot of success comes from getting your lure in places where the majority of anglers will miss or are afraid of getting hung up. Skip your lures under trees and docks a lot and pitch things into the heart of the most gnarly looking cover you can find! Often times some of your biggest fish will come from this extra effort.
