I am a Hunter and Do you want to become one too?

There are several pieces of equipment used in hunting. This article will discuss one of its most original gears which are the hunt. It is where the fly line is attached. The hunt comes in several sizes. Its length typically ranges from as short as 6 ft to as long as 13 ft. Aside from the length, hunting rods are measured by their weight. As a rule of thumb, the smaller the value of the importance, the lower the fish it can catch. For example, a hunt of 0wt (zero weight) is enough to catch a small trout. For more essential types of fish such as a salmon, fishing off a more substantial weight is used.

A hunt’s weight is also crucial in determining the importance of the fly line that can be used with it. So a rod of 10ft requires a #10 wire and could not use a line of a different size. There are rods which can accommodate a variety of weights, but they tend to compromise performance for flexibility. Bamboo is the traditional material used as a hunt. Hunting enthusiasts prize it for its surprising strength in typical conditions. It can be pricey though, which is why others choose rods made of alternative materials such as fibreglass and graphite. The two are selected for their durability (they are not prone to rust) and performance (they are lighter compared to other materials).

When I was young, away a long time ago, there was this old man who fished Buckeye Lake in Ohio and caught more bass than anyone I knew at the time. He was hunting boat docks. His lures were all beat up, most of them missing paint and some were even bare wood from hitting them on the docks so many times.

Boat docks produce shade, and bass feels secure in low light areas. Docks also provide a place for bass to ambush their prey. Sometimes when you see rod holders and lights at a dock there's a chance there's some structure there too. Maybe a brush pile or rocks that the owner has produced. Use your trolling motor to get close to the dock or just drift up to it and flip or pitch your lure.

Some good lures for hunting docks are a jig, worm, crankbait and spinnerbait. Of course, you want to throw as far back under the pier as you can but make sure on the retrieve that the lure bumps the dock's post as it goes by them. The erratic behaviour of the bait sometimes products a strike. If you're using a crankbait, you can bend the eye and make it run under the dock. While the lure doesn't run right, it does get farther under the pier where the fish are.

Now they have a lure called a coffin bill lure that is ideal for hunting docks. Docks are one of my most favourite places to fish and apparently the bass like them too.
