 In this week's Fishing Tip, Ray and Manny discuss a great way to cover a lot of ground when fishing for all types of fish with bottom bouncers. The basic idea is you tie your fishing line to the bottom bouncer and then you have a leader or three or four or five feet long, however long you want it, and you tie that to the end of the bottom bouncer and then you're ready to go. You're dropping over the side and I'll show you the technique that we use here in just a second. But this is one style of bottom bouncer and it's got an attractant color on it. This happens to be a three ounce or a two ounce bottom bouncer and another style that I personally like because it's very simple to use and you don't have to tie anything. This one just slips on your line and then your line is adjustable and then when you get it adjusted where you want it, you push this little down into the line and that will hold it on the spot. Obviously I don't have anything hooked up on for bait here but I do have a little extra weight and then here we would put a crank bait or it could be a crawler, a leech or whatever and then that ensures that we're always going to be bouncing off the bottom one to two to three feet depending on how long a line you're letting back there. When using bottom bouncers there's two basic applications for them. One is actually simply jigging with them. So when you get, you release it over the side and that weight hits the bottom. You can simply jig up and down and then you know that that bait is within a couple inches of the bottom as you go. The other application obviously is trolling with them. So once you get them out, you get them down, you can feel when you actually hit the bottom when you're trolling with them. I like to raise them up a few inches and keep on trolling. For Lakeland News I'm Ray Gildahl with the Niswagai's League. And I'm Mandy Erick, the Bassin Biologist. And as summer comes to a close, that's our final fishing tip of the year. We'd like to give a big thanks to Ray and Mandy for all their hard work. Educate the people on some great fishing tips once again. Yeah, very interesting all summer long. Thanks to those two for volunteering to do that for us. Yep, definitely.
