Alright, let’s talk about this… this… tube thingy, yeah, the tubes fishing lure. Folks call it that, I just call it a wormy lookin’ thing for catchin’ fish. Don’t get me wrong, it works like a charm, but all these fancy names, they just confuse an old woman like me.
First off, you gotta put that tube thing on a hook, right? Sounds easy, but there’s a trick to it, or so they say. Some folks, they like to stick it on there like a worm, you know, just thread it through. Others, they got these special jig heads, makes the tube thingy dance in the water. I say, whatever gets the fish bitin’, that’s the right way. Ain’t no need to make it complicated.
Now, where you fish this tube thingy matters too. You can’t just throw it anywhere and expect a fish to jump on it, no sir. Them fish, they like to hide in cover, you know, weeds, rocks, under them… whatchamacallits… logs, yeah, logs. So, you gotta get that tube thingy in there, where the fish are. I like to toss it near the edge of them weed patches, let it sink a bit, then jiggle it around. Sometimes, I just drag it slow on the bottom, makes a little dust cloud, the fish think it’s somethin’ tasty.
- Texas-rigged: Folks say this is good for fishin’ on the bottom. Keeps the hook from gettin’ snagged on all that junk down there.
- Jig head riggin’: This makes the tube thingy swim all fancy-like, up and down, side to side. Good for when the fish are active.
- Flippin’ and pitchin’: This is for gettin’ the tube thingy into tight spots, where them big fish like to hide. You gotta be sneaky though, or you’ll spook ‘em.
And let me tell you, this tube thingy, it ain’t just for one kind of fish. I’ve caught all sorts with it – bass, mostly, them big green ones. But also some crappie, and even a catfish or two. It’s like a candy bar for fish, they just can’t resist it. And that’s what makes it so good for beginners, you know, the young’uns. Even they can catch a fish with this tube thingy. It’s easy to use, and forgiving, like they say. You don’t gotta be an expert to get a bite.
Ready to learn all about this fishin’ stuff? Well, there’s a lot to it, more than just chuckin’ a tube thingy in the water, that’s for sure. You gotta learn about the different colors, the sizes, how to make it look real. Some folks, they even put smelly stuff on it, to make it even more attractive to the fish. I don’t bother with all that fuss. I just use what works, and that tube thingy, it works pretty darn good.
So, next time you go fishin’, give this tube thingy a try. Don’t matter if you’re a fancy fisherman with all the gear, or just an old woman like me with a simple pole and a can of worms… well, or tube thingies now. This tube thingy can catch fish, that’s all that matters. And ain’t that the whole point of fishin’ anyway?
And remember, fishing should be fun. Don’t get all worked up if you don’t catch nothin’ right away. Sometimes, the fish just ain’t bitin’. But if you keep at it, and you learn a few tricks, like using this here tubes fishing lure, you’ll be bringin’ home dinner in no time.
One more thing, don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you see someone catchin’ a bunch of fish, go on over and ask ‘em what they’re doin’. Most folks are happy to share a tip or two. And that’s how you learn, by doin’ and by askin’. Now, go on out there and catch some fish!
