This week’s fishing tip is on shallow water fishing. It is very easy to spook fish out of a fishing hole in shallow water. So it is important to approach your spot quietly and slowly. Have your anchor ready and don’t throw it overboard. Let it down gently. Even dropping or slamming a cooler lid will scare fish away. Your boat is like an amplified drum. Talking loud or radios have no affect. Be sure you have a good anchor that won’t drag.
Keep fishing and be safe.
