When to Set the Hook?
Different lures are treated differently . Crankbaits , spinnerbaits ... I do a rod sweep when I feel a fish on .Topwaters I set the hook when I feel the fish not when I see the hit [ this is difficult to do and I mess up topwater strikes frequently .] Texas rigs and jigs I set the hook after taking most of the slack out then hit them hard .

How many times pitching to spot
The fish are not always buried under the biggest part of the tree . A lot of times there are fish hanging around the outside branches . I try to pick them off first then go to the main trunk .

How many times pitching to spot
Just depends . Try hard and strive to make good decisions . If its a downed tree I"m going to make a lot of pitches . I'll usually start from the outside and work my way in . Its not unusual to catch more than one fish or several from a good tree or brush pile . Even if its just a single stick poking out of the surface , it may be the tip of the iceberg .

Spots and Secrets
If I catch fish in an area then yeah i'll tell everybody that I caught my bass in cove three... If I catch my bass on a specific spot in cove three , such as a slight depression surrounded by four stumps , i'm keeping that a secret .
