Successful power fishing isn't a simple matter of rapid firing your favorite lure down a bank or along an offshore point. It requires some preliminary research to ensure your lure presentations match the lake, water conditions and seasonal patterns. Otherwise, you're wasting time.
成功的power fishing并不是简单的把你喜欢的拟饵向堤岸或是顺着离岸标点反复抛出。你需要做些初步的研究以使你对路亚的操控能符合做钓的湖泊，水情，和季节模式；不然的话，你只是在浪费时间。
Water temperature, clarity, forage, structure and cover are key factors to note when dialing in the proper presentation and matching it to the seasonal pattern.
如果你要正确的呈现你的拟饵并使之符合季节性模式，那水温，清澈程度，饵鱼，水底结构和障碍都是需要注意的关键因素。
Water temperature can dictate how aggressive the fish might be and what they'll hit. If the water is 45 degrees, for example, I'm not likely to have a topwater tied on.
水温可以决定着鱼的活跃程度（攻击性）及其攻击对象。比如说水温是华氏45度（7℃），我就不太可能去使用水面系。
Water clarity will determine how bass relate to cover. The dirtier the water, the closer fish relate to the cover. It also can dictate how deep the bass are holding, since, as a general rule, the clearer the water the deeper they will go.
水的清澈程度则决定着bass与障碍之间的关联程度：水越浑浊，bass则离障碍越近；这也决定了bass停留的深度，因为基本的规律是水越清澈，bass就会转移到越深的地方。
Clarity also helps me determine lure color and speed. If the water is clear enough for the bass to see my lures, I'll opt for natural colors and work them faster. By utilizing natural colors, speed and erratic action, the lures appear more realistic. That's especially important on clear lakes that get a lot of bass fishing pressure.
水的清澈程度也会帮我决定拟饵的颜色和速度。如果水清澈到足够让bass看到我的拟饵，我会选择自然色并且会让他们快速的游动。通过自然的颜色，快速且不规则的泳姿，拟饵看起来更逼真。在bass有压力的清水湖中，这是尤其重要的。
The weather can be a wild card, too. Wind moves plankton and bait around, a positive influence that can move fish shallower, unless it muddies up shallow flats. Also, bass tend to be more active during low pressure systems, so the strike zone is a little larger than during high pressure weather when the fish are less active.
天气也可以是一张百搭牌。风把浮游生物和其他饵料吹到四处，这吸引着鱼儿游向更浅的地方，除非风把浅滩的水搅浑。同样的，bass在低气压的天气会表现得更活跃，所以其攻击区与高气压天气下比会大一些。
Also, it's vital to choose lures that fish the cover as efficiently as possible. If the lake has a lot of 20-foot deep hydrilla grassbeds, shallow crankbaits aren't worthy. If the lake is shallow and has a lot of flooded bushes, then weedless flipping lures may be the preferred lure of choice. For flat points, a lipless crankbait like Strike King's Red Eye Shad would do the job. On docks and submerged logs, it might be a spinnerbait.
同样的，选择能够尽可能高效的做钓障碍区的拟饵也是至关重要的。如果湖里有很多20英尺深的草床（Hydrilla，一种水草，见下图，感觉有点像水族里面那种水蜈蚣），浅潜crank就不适用；如果湖水很浅，并且有很多淹没的树丛（或枯枝），那防挂的flipping饵就是首选；对于水底平滩，VIB会有不错的表现；在码头以及沉默的倒木区，可以选择spinnerbait。
And finally, know the lake's primary forage for that season. If it's blueback herring, you can fish a spinnerbait in the middle of the lake on a bright summer day when fish are schooling. In East Texas, spring crawfish are red and the bass are more apt to hit lures that imitate them. With that in mind, here's how to refine your lure choices by season:
最后，了解湖中那个季节的最主要的饵鱼是什么。如果是蓝背鲱鱼，你可以在晴朗的夏日，当鱼集群活动的时候，用spinnerbait来钓湖的中层。在德克萨斯州东部，小龙虾是红色的，bass更倾向于攻击那些能很好模仿他们的拟饵——有了这些基本的观念，以下就按季节来细化一下拟饵的选择：
春 季 Spring
You can bust pre-spawners on lipless crankbaits around spawning flats early in the season or spinnerbaits around the bushes when the fish start moving shallower and are ready to spawn. Bass are very territorial then.
早春时，你可以用VIB来做钓平滩产卵区（指适合bass筑巢的平坦区域），捕获产卵前的bass；或者是在bass开始向浅水区转移，为产卵做准备时，用spinnerbait在树丛/枯枝的周围做钓。那时候bass的领地意识很强。
Also, be cognizant of what layer of water they are using. Spring bass will suspend around shallow cover, so choose lures that fish the appropriate depth zone.
同时，要注意bass分布的水层。春季bass会在浅水区（或深浅交界处）的障碍附近悬游，所以要选择合适下潜深度的拟饵。
After they start spawning, fast movers are least effective, so I start flipping a creature bait into their protective zones. My number one rule is to pick a lure that fishes well in that particular depth zone/cover AND that matches the mood of the fish and conditions I'm facing.
当鱼开始产卵之后，快速运动的饵，效果最差。所以我开始选择flipping的手法把Flipping虾抛到他们掩藏的障碍区。我的第一原则是选一个可以在那个特定的深度/障碍中表现良好的拟饵，并可以符合到鱼的“情绪”或者状况。
夏 季 Summer
Bass begin relating to main lake structure — humps, points and ledges. That doesn't mean they're always deep, but somewhat deeper, so you need a lure that gets down quickly and covers the appropriate depth zone and cover.
这时候bass表现出与湖泊结构的紧密关联——暗岛（凸起），尖角（由陆地伸向湖水的突出），陡壁（深浅交界处）。这不表示他们总在深水，但是从某种意义上来说，会更深，所以你需要一个可以更快下潜到合适的深度和区域的拟饵。
If you're fishing shellbeds and ledges, a crankbait is hard to beat in the 5 to 21-foot depth range because it will give you a good feel of what kind of bottom is there and it covers water quickly.
如果你在“贝床”（由贝类沉积而成的地质）或者陡壁做钓，除crank之外，其他拟饵很难覆盖5~21英尺（1.5~6.4米）深的范围，因为crank可以让你很好的感觉出水底的类型，并且可以非常快速地搜索。
If you don't have a crankbait that gets deep enough, a football jig or a Carolina rig with a heavy sinker will catch a lot of bass and help you find the cover and hard bottom spots. A big, Texas rigged worm will catch them, too, but isn't as fast or efficient when you're searching for fish.
如果你没有深潜的crank，那么橄榄形的JIG或者重铅的卡罗莱纳钓组可以钓获很多的bass，并且帮你找出水底的标点。大的德州钓组的面条虫，也可以钓到他们，但是在搜索的时候没有那么快（或效率没那么高）。
Once I know the fish are on a specific spot, or if they lose interest in other presentations, I will hop a worm, slow roll a big spinnerbait or snap a Sexy Spoon in the area. If the fish are suspended off structure, the spinnerbait and spoon are great choices.
一旦我知道鱼藏在某一个特定的标点，或者如果他们对其他的饵没兴趣，我就会拿面条虫去跳，或者是很慢的收一个spinnerbait，或者试一下大型勺子拟饵。如果鱼儿离开这些水底结构处，转而悬游在一定的水层，spinnerbait和勺子会是非常棒的选择。
Remember to always visualize what the lure is doing — especially in deep water. Know how deep your crankbait is running with the rod and reel setup you're using. If you're grinding the bottom with a deep crankbait and suddenly hit something, it could mean there's a hump, a stump or big rock there. If you catch one, you'll know how the fish are positioned and know to look for similar habitat.
记得一定要时刻在脑子里想象lure的状态——尤其是在深水中。通过的你竿子和轮子来感知crank下潜的深度，如果你的深潜crank舌板不停的在水底摩擦，但是突然碰到什么，这说明那里可能有个暗岛、树桩、或是大石头。如果你这时候钓到鱼了，你就可以知道鱼藏在什么类型的地方（是什么分布模式），然后你就知道如何去找类似的标点了。
I use my electronics continuously, motoring over these spots where I've had success to determine what is there to attract the fish. I mark the spot with my GPS, then lineup with a landmark so that I know exactly how I need to cast the next time I fish the spot.
我会一直用我的电子设备，去仔细查看我成功上鱼的标点，研究那里是什么在吸引着鱼儿。我用GPS标记这些标点，然后把这些标点串在一起，这样我下次做钓同样的标点的时候，我就知道我该如何来抛投了。
秋 季 Fall
The water starts to cool and baitfish begin to migrate to creeks and move shallower. I start on main lake creek points and work into the back, concentrating on channel drops, little flats and banks on which the channel swings nearby. Many of the lures I used during the prespawn come back into play. Again, I take into account water depth and the cover I'm fishing as well as water clarity.
水开始变凉，饵鱼开始向支流和浅水区转移。我会从湖泊的主要支流开始，会一直往支流的上游做钓，将注意力主要集中在河道沟渠等暗崖处（深度急剧加大的地方），以及河道回旋处（湾位）附近的小平底和河岸边。很多我在产卵季前用的拟饵，这时候又发挥了作用。同样的，我还是要考虑水深，障碍以及水的清澈程度。
Because the fish are keying on baitfish, I prefer those that resemble the forage, which include crankbaits, spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, etc.
因为鱼儿此时与饵鱼关系最为密切，所以我选择那些能很好模仿饵鱼的拟饵，如crank，spinnerbait，VIB等等。
If the water is cooling down fast or the fish are not in a chasing mood, a jerkbait or a slow sinking soft jerkbait are excellent choices if the water is clear. They have good drawing power in clear water.
如果水温降得很快，或者鱼儿并不积极追击猎物，那么jerkbait或是慢沉的软式jerkbait在水清的时候是非常棒的选择。他们在清水中有极大的诱惑力。
Regardless of the time of year, always be aware of potential changes in conditions that require a lure change or different tactic. Successful power fishermen are cognizant of the slightest change and adjust their lure selections and presentations accordingly.
撇开一年中时间的不同，你也必须了解一些潜在的要求你变换拟饵或者技巧的情况的变化。一个成功的power fishing钓手必须能认识到最细微的变化，并且随之改变拟饵及其展现方法（控饵手法）。
