Fred Roumbanis (aka Boom Boom) is here to talk about the sensory triangle (sight, sound & scent) as it relates to catching bass. Often we will focus on 1 or 2 elements and overlook a 3rd. In this bass fishing eductaional video, Fred Roumbanis talks will cover the following:
Main Sight, Sound & Scent Topics
1:05 Completing the triangle
2:20 Sight
6:45 Sound
19:05 Scent
Sight
Considerations in "match the hatch" to make sure you are presenting a bait that truly represents the forage in your body of water
Color considerations - how do you choose from the sea of colors available in bass fishing lures and what determines which color to select?
Sound
Bass don't just use their eyes to find food, they also have a lateral line, and they can use it to detect vibration, the way we use our ears
Fred talks about ways to add sound to your baits
Roumbanis also talks about how sound can negatively effect your fishing day
There are also electronics accessories that can help with activating fish with sound and neutralizing negative sounds (TH Marine Hydrowave)
Scent
This is the most overlooked aspect of the sensory triangle
Like sounds, many smells/scents can actually be a negative, learn what things you want to avoid contacting your baits
There are also positive scents, particularly prey scents: baitfish, crawdad, garlic, etc.
