Bobbing for fish is a great way to learn what bait fish are swimming in the waters that you are fishing. Bobbing for fish is also a great way to learn bait fish migration patterns.
I keep my bobbing rigs simple: cork bobber, 20# Ande mono-filament leader, tin split shot and a #8 Owner Mosquito hook. OMG. A 20# leader? Yes! A hooked and frantic bait fish is easy prey. The 20# leader is my insurance policy to land the predator who eats my catch! 😉
Worms, crickets, and other small organisms all work. I prefer artificial baits like Berkley Gulp Earthworms and Berkely PowerBait Trout Nibbles. These artificial baits give off scent. They are easy to store and are always ready to go.
Find bait, and you will find predatory fish. Match the hatch, and you will catch trophy fish. Go bobbing for fish!
