Bottom Bouncing: A Sexy Alcoholic Drink or a great way to Fish?

Hello everyone, 

    Today we are going to discuss Bottom Bouncing. For fishing beginners, they may not be aware of what Bottom Bouncing is. For you age 21 and over who have heard of the term Bottom Bouncing it is not a delicious mixed drink made with "1 oz Butterscotch Schnapps" and "1 oz Irish Cream" layered in shot glass. That is a "Bottom Bouncer!" Not as much a sexy drink as a desert drink in this writer's opinion. 

    Bottom Bouncing is a way of fishing. It is a way of being able to fish on the bottom of the lake or river without having the fish directly on the bottom. Some bottom fishers will have the weight above the hook and think that dragging the bait right on the bottom is the way to go. Everyone's experience with this can be a little different and depending on where you have fished your catching luck may differ from others. 

    Dragging on the bottom using the "Bottom Bouncing" method can help lure fish as it will cause small amounts of the bottom of the lake or river to to be stirred up. Once you have moved along the bottom a short distance, you can stop the move action and let it sit there with the idea of attracting a fish. The weighted part is actually at the end of your line sitting on the bottom where the hook with your bait of choice is just a little ways up from it directly in the water and not sitting on the bottom. 

1) Simply remember that the weight or sinker needs to be below the hook where your bait is. 

2) If you are rigging the weight above the weight (for some who fish this is preferred) just make sure once you have dropped your line, to let the bait rest on the bottom. Keep it there floating until you get a bite. Don't get too impatient to check the line right away. give it at least a few minutes, but remember to at least check your bain on occassion. In areas with small quick fish the bait might get eaten without even noticing the line moving while it was getting picked at. 

    "Bottom Bouncing" might be one of the best methods to fish. For you constant fishing enthusiasts you might find depending on the area you are fishing in more success with this method of fishing.
