what is up guys this is Zach from
anglers escape and today I want to go
over how to locate a good fishing spot I
get a lot of questions on where do you
find your fishing spots or every fishing
spot buying these garbage I can't find
anywhere to fish and you'd be surprised
if you looked in the right areas and use
the right baits and lures and times that
there are some great fishing spots even
right by you so the first thing I would
do to start out is go to Google Maps and
you'd be surprised how many bodies of
water like lakes streams ponds there are
by you see which ones are on public land
and then go out there and start fishing
them and when you start fishing them
there's like a lot of tips I have for
you guys so the first thing is is never
give up on a spot once you fish it once
and don't have any luck because a lot of
times you might go at noon and catch
nothing but they're really all biting at
8 p.m. at night or you go in the evening
and it's really in the mornings that
they're biting so each place you go you
want to sample at different times like
my local pond I can bass fish from 8:00
in the morning to about noon or I
probably 8 in the morning to about 8
p.m. but the bass don't really turned on
till about 8:00 to 9:00 right at that
dusk hour and then I'll start catching
them left and right
so timing is key and so you want a
sample at different times you go in the
morning go midday go in the evening and
then you might find out that one of
those fishing spots by you is actually
really good the next thing you want to
do is use a ton of different baits and
lures so when I go to a pond for the
first time I have no idea what the fish
are gonna like or what fish species are
even in there so what I'll do is I'll
bring one pole with worm I'll bring
another pole with like chicken livers
and I'll bring a third Pole with like an
inline spinner so I even in Missouri you
can legally have three poles so two
poles will have that with baits one pole
will have without out with the inline
spinner after ten minutes I'll change
out the bait so I'll put on like corn
and maybe a catfish dough bait and then
I'll change that inline spinner to a
crank bait and I'll start using that so
now I'm using just a ton of different
lures and baits in the same pond trying
to figure out what they like another tip
is is move often if I don't get a bite
in about 15 minutes even if I'm at a
pond I'll move to the next corner of the
pond and fish there for 15 minutes and
I'll move on to the next corner of the
pond fish there for 15 minutes the whole
time I have my different baits out and
I'm using different lures
and I'm honing in on those fish with all
these different tactics and a lot of
times the fish are in there they're just
biting at a specific time or they're
biting on a specific bait or lure and
you just have to find that bait or lure
so again find that spot on Google Maps
then really test it out with different
times different baits different lures
and another excellent thing to do guys
is log when you catch fish so I have a
calendar in my room every time every day
when I go home I don't went fishing that
day I'll log down what fish I caught
where I caught him and what I caught him
on and so when I put that out in the
calendar it really helps me pattern
these fish so then I can go back to my
2017 calendar and be like oh and April I
had a lot of luck bass fishing at this
pond with finesse jig and so then I'll
go back to that pond and a lot of times
I'll have the same type of luck and so
that's another great thing to do and the
last thing I want to talk about is
online forms and social media
you'd be surprised but there's a lot of
Facebook groups out there I know in
Kansas City there's a Kansas City
fishing club that's just kind of open to
the general public
there's also a lease summit which is
just south of Kansas City fishing club
and there's all there's about 500
members in some of these clubs and like
every day there put someone posts like
oh at this local lake I caught this mini
catfish on this bait and it's really
nice because it helps you out a lot
finding fishing spots what bait to use
and what to fish for so kind of do a
quick google search or search on
Facebook for any local fishing clubs
around you another great resources
websites so there's like catfish calm
there's crappie calm and then you can go
down to your state and your kind of
local area and see if anyone's posting
on that and finally guys another good
source of information to finding a good
fishing spot is just a local bait shop a
lot of times if you go in there you buy
worms or buy minutes just say hey do you
know where the fish are biting or where
I might have some luck and a lot of
times are more than happy to help you
out so I hope you learned something here
today you'll try out one of these tips
and as always good luck fishing
