the insider Bass tips video by// Scott Martin It’s February, football season is over and for many of you reading this, I know you aren’t able to fish like I can out here in Florida. But don’t for a second think of this as wasted fishing time… Instead, look at this as the time of year that you get to perfect your technique. Once the weather picks up and the bass start biting, you don’t want your skills to be stuck back in the cold. As for the other half of the country that isn’t frozen, get out to your local waters and try some of these techniques I’m about to show you. First, I’ll be showing you how to Nose-Hook a soft plastic. After that, I am going to give you a quick crash course on fishing drop offs and ledges, something every angler should know. Lastly, I am gonna be talking about flipping heavy mats to bring in those big bass that everyone’s going after. So, if you can’t get to a water right now, try these out indoors, by your pool or anywhere that its generally safe. It doesn’t matter if you are a seasoned angler or new to bass fishing, everyone can stand to learn something new and become a better angler. –Tight lines, Bass Fishing: How to NoseHook a soft plastic worm. www.fishhound.com/smtip10 PAGe 19 | Big Bass monthly Bass Fishing: Drop offs and Ledges 101. www.fishhound.com/smtip11 Scott Martin Bass Fishing: How to pick the right weight for flipping heavy. www.fishhound.com/smtip12
