For longer casting, set your reel sensitivity to "High".

-Go to the grassy areas and cast out long from your boat. For King Salmon, cast out by a waterfall with the long silver minnow lure.

-In 90% of the tournaments you will catch your largest fish at the start.

The King Salmon love the Silver Long Cast Minnow.

Use the Tail Dancer in Hot Chub to get Rainbow Trout.

-Use the DD Husky Jerk Silver to get Silver Salmon.

-Make sure your drag is at 3 and use the heaviest line available with a heavy rod for improved leverage. Keep tension on the line when the salmon runs out. When he runs in, keep holding tension until he gets to the edge of the blue. After that, pull up to adjust the tension. On fast runs, you have to just hope that the salmon changes direction. To land the salmon in the boat, pull toward the side or rear part of the boat. Do not pull up. You cannot tire the fish out.

The best lure to use for Crappie and Bass is the Rattlin' Rapala Red Crawdad. Use a slow reeling technique.

The best lures to use at Table Rock in the Bass Challenge are the Taildancer Shad and Lime Frog Skitter Pop. You will catch tons of small ones, but there are some big ones also in the lake.

Use the Silver Huskey Jerk or Blue Shad Rap for Walleye.

-While fishing for Striped Bass in the Sacramento River, cast the Jointed Clown lure out as far as you can. Just let it sit at the top of the water. You do not have to do anything, and eventually a Striper will come along and nail it.

-While fishing for Striped Bass, use the floater lure (shining recommended). This works very well because the fish come from the bottom and snatch it.
