13. Rapid Deceleration Just Above a School of Fish

If you find a school of bass just below the surface, put down your spinning tackle and try this method immediately. You will see very interesting reactions from the bass.

For example, I know of a clearwater field where bluegills fry congregate near the shore for short periods in the fall, and schools of migrating bass can be seen preying on them. Here, I would like to explain how schools of bass migrating just below the water's surface will react to this method, assuming such a situation.

Schools migrate close to the shore, so will be fishing from the shore while following the school. Also, assume that the direction of movement of the herd is 3 o'clock.


1.
Throw the voluminous spinnerbait with a low trajectory and pass directly above the school while rapidly decelerating.

2.
In a school, bass whose predatory instincts have been stimulated and bass whose predatory instincts have not been stimulated collide with each other.

3.
There's chaos in the school.


4.
After landing the lure will pass directly above the chaos.


5.
A bass that notices the passing lure and can separate from the school will eventually bite the lure.


6.
During the fight with that bass, several other bass chases after it in excitement.


7.
Even after the first bass is released, several bass remain nearby.


8.
When the bass are excited, they are more likely to bite the lure even if cast roughly, so may catch more bass.




Enjoy the Phenomenon of Multiple Bass Involved

I briefly described the bass's reaction after casting the lure and the process of catching a few basses, but the beautiful formation suddenly collapsed and several bass collide with each other. If all goes well, will be able to see this kind of phenomenon with just one cast. Furthermore, if you can approach excited bass appropriately, you will be able to catch multiple bass from one school.

As I have written before, by using this method, can see various reactions and behaviors of the fish that cannot be seen with normal fishing methods. Among them, I think this "rapid deceleration just above a school of fish" is the most interesting phenomenon to see.




Don't Have to Match the Bait?

The above example shows the reaction of the bass that was migrating to prey on bluegill fry. What is interesting is that when a bass targeting baitfish saw the voluminous lure low trajectory rapid deceleration, its predatory instinct was instantly stimulated. 

I often hear that can't catch a fish unless match the lure to the bait that the bass are eating at the time. In other words, in this case, the theory is to use lures or plastic worms that resemble bluegill fry. However, there was no need for the lure to resemble a bluegill fry, as the bass's predatory instincts were stimulated when the lure was in the air. 

I believe that the bass at this time recognizes flying insects too as prey and that the flying of the lure itself matches the bait. This means that there is no need to match the lure to the bait that lives in the water, which is also the strength of this method.

14. When Fish are Present in a Little Deep

I will write about the difference between bass that are just below the water's surface and bass that are in a little deep water. Example of the Reaction of Bass in a Little Deep Water For example, suppose a bass at a depth of 80 cm is facing 6 o'clock. 1. Throw the voluminous lure with an ultra-low trajectory so that it passes from directly in front of the bass to behind it. 2. When the trajectory of the lure passes over the bass head, the bass body twitches. 3. The bass body moves and at the same time, it rises a little. 4. Repeat step 1 and the bass will float just below the water surface. 5. By the time the bass rises to just below the water surface, their activity has already increased, so as long as don't miss a cast, the bass will bite. This is an example of when succeeded in getting the fish to bite, but the bass activity was not very high.  If the bass are highly active in this situation, they may suddenly rise to just below the water surface and bite the lure with

6. How to Make a Voluminous Spinnerbait

Image
Voluminous Single Colorado Spinnerbait The number of skirts of the spinnerbaits in the picture is 460, 360, 260, 220, and 160 from the left. Weight from left to right: 36g, 32g, 21.1g, 19.3g, and 22g.  This does not mean that these are finished products that are easy for everyone to cast.  I'm still trying to do it myself. The ease of casting varies from person to person, so please use it as a reference only. Try different amounts of skirts to suit your tackle and casting skills to find one that you feel comfortable with. I think it's a good idea to start by making a few at random and comparing the ease of casting.  Points to Note when doing this Tuning Most spinnerbaits on the market stabilize their posture immediately after landing on the water, but lures with many skirts may not stabilize their posture. The following is a countermeasure. Add a Sinker By adding a split shot sinker to the hook shank to increase the weight, the lure's posture can be stabilized more quickly.

3. ASMR Effects with Lure Trajectory

Image
Lure Trajectory that Stimulates Predatory Instinct of Bass and Brings Comfort to Anglers "Low trajectory, smooth rapid deceleration, quiet water landing without bubbles" Following this series of events with eyes is very pleasant and makes me want to cast more. This is addictive, and I think the trajectory of that lure has an ASMR effect.  In particular, if use a flashy colored voluminous lure that does not overlap with the background color, it will be easier to see and control the trajectory, and as a result,  will be able to experience the effects of AMSR more easily.   Conversely, if the lure overlaps the background color or is subdued in color or  voluminousness , it becomes difficult for the eye to follow the lure's path. Also, ideal trajectory is not a parabola that drops down from a high point, but an  ultra-low trajectory that flies while maintaining slightly above the water surface.
