Tackle

In order to avoid the sinkers to slide you would have to use a swivel in order to act as a stop. In order to protect it you could always use plastic beads between the swivel and weight. And if you use two appropriate swivels this could allow you to rig the sliding sinkers.

2. How to fish – There are three basic methods for fishing

Plunking

Plunking is the most common method used in order to fish. In order to plunk you need to use a suitable amount of weight for you to be able to take hold of the bait in a position which is against any current. Another option in plunking is to use a minimal amount of weight for the bait to move along with the water current.

Back bouncing

Back bouncing is done by lifting the bait out the bottom and lifting the tip of the rod for one to two feet. When you allow the bait to walk with the current, you should free the back reel or spool. Repeat the order of steps when the lure settles down on the bottom. Back bouncing is much more effective method in deeper water like when you are fishing in a boat.

Drift-fishing

Drift-fishing is a simple method where as you cast your line upstream or downstream. This may vary depending on the current's state of flow. You should always count the appropriate depth and start reeling.

3. How to fish from a boat

It is of extreme important to determine in which location you would perform your fishing in order to get maximum exposure to the fish. Deeper water fishing needs heavier jigheads compared when fishing on shore.

* With heavy weight which keeps your bait near the bottom of the water and the line straight down from your boat, you are able to drift the boat along with any current. A good technique of fishing on boats is trolling slowly with a fishing device called a bottom-walker.

Fishing is always easier as long as you’re enjoying the trip. Bring along some of your family and friends and make your fishing experience a memorable one.
