Tips While Pitching & Flipping:

1. A strike can occur at any given time. Make sure your boat is always positioned correctly, so you will be ready to fight a big fish.

2. Rod position is important. I don’t let my rod get any higher than 45 degrees. Then when you believe you have a hook up, drop your rod towards the water and take up any slack line with a couple quick turns of the reel, and you’re ready for a good solid hook set.

3. Be a line watcher. If your line jumps, or moves in any direction, set the hook. I also like to keep my finger in contact with the line, so you can feel subtle pick-ups.

4. Be aware of the depth you’re fishing. For example, if you’re fishing in 5 feet of water, and your jig only drops 3 feet, set the hook. An aggressive bass will take your offering before it ever has a chance to reach the bottom of the lake.

5. I’m always checking hook points to make sure their sharp. At the same time, check your line for nicks and frayed areas.

6. Prime targets. Make repeated, repeated, repeated casts. Especially when fishing highly pressured lakes. Keep working your lure in the zone until you aggravate the bass into biting.

7. On certain days, a more subtle presentation works best. Then there are other days when I like to add two or three rattles to my lure selection. Unfortunately, the bass will have to clue you in on their various mood swings.

8. When I’m pitching and flipping, I work my lures like I’m trying to hang them up. It helps you get your offering in every nook and cranny. I would rather lose a few lures than pass up a big, feisty HAWG. Pitching and flipping is a great technique to use during frontal conditions, and on bluebird days after cold fronts when bass hold tight to cover.
