I asked John if he minded if I might look over some of the stuff that he'd brought with him which he said "please do." After going through his things he brought with him, I picked out a couple of his boxes and said that we'll start with these the first day and whatever else was needed for the day I would gladly supply.
I then started looking through all the rods and reels he brought with him (about 20 in all.) I picked out about six rods of different assorted sizes and actions out of the bunch and said that these would be good for him and Nancy to start with. After selecting some of the necessary things we'd start with, I helped him load the car back up with all the other stuff he had piled on the ground and we were on our way....
One of the most important subjects that I teach my students while attending my school is "Smart Shopping" I try to help my students by showing them to just buy what is practical and really needed the most when it comes to bass fishing. There are multitudes of baits, rods, reels, lines, hooks, and so much different equipment on today's market that the average angler thinks that he or she just has to have all these good looking baits to catch bass, this is all just great company marketing and packaging.
Well, here we go! finally in the boat and headed out to some areas of the lake that I like to teach at. The whole time while being enroute to the first spot, John couldn't stop telling me about some of his great bass fishing stories that he experienced in his past, after hearing some of these stories I was wondering if I should have him teach me instead of me teaching him.
So as the day went on, we got on the subject of Spinnerbaits. John had said that this was one of his favorite baits and it would be hard to beat him using one because he has already mastered this bait! John's wife, Nancy just sat there once again just shaking her head in embarrassment. I then showed Nancy that certain spinnerbaits right out of the package can be modified to sometimes perform a little better than just tying them on, and how to (tweak) or modify this certain spinnerbait she was about to learn with.
As I was teaching this to her, John was casting his spinnerbait along a weed line just a few feet from where the boat was sitting, as I kept looking over at him I'd see him reel it in, cast it, reel it in, cast it, but with no success at all. I had explained to John that with colder water situations (which the water was about 52 degrees) the spinnerbait may be successful if he would slow down his presentation, to which he kinda chuckled and said, "Let the master show you how it's done" and he kept on casting at a fast pace.
