Hi all
I've just been pondering on some thoughts on different sized weights.
I fished this week at Rhenosterkop dam and we decided to fish in thick structure. My usual rig is a Texas with a 1/8 ounce tungsten black. I decided to fish the same rig with a 1/4 ounce to penetrate the weeds as thats were the fish were holding. I had very little pickups with this weight and then decided to change back to my usual 1/8 once. My fishing improved and I caught some good quality bass, about 16 in total.
Weather conditions as follows:
Bright skies with little cloud cover
No wind and the water was like glass
Water temperature was around 73 degrees fahrenheit on the fish finder
Slightly stained water, visibility about 1m from the boat.
The question I pose is when do you fish a heavy or light weight, what conditions, structure, water clarity, etc etc etc.
What are your thoughts on this and how can we improve our catch rates.
Regards
Moh
