Although you should consider the location of the fish when choosing where to cast, you should also take the distance into account. Each location has a wealth of places where you can cast your line. As you move the casting cursor across locations, it will move closer to and farther from you depending on the distance from your boat to the shore and structures. You can therefore cast relatively close to your boat or far away. To decide how far to cast your line, first consider your bait.
Some lures are more open to close casting, while others require a long line to get the best results.
For instance, you have to reel Buzz Bait in quickly, so you should cast it far away to give fish a longer chance to bite it. Another factor is the timer. It takes time to land a bass after you set your hook. When the lure is in the water, you're treated to an underwater view of it. Use this view not only to lure fish, but also to check out the surroundings.
