Pad fishing is a strategy that many anglers love to use, pads provide great habitat for fish and they are a fun way to catch big buckets. Usually when anglers are fishing pads they tend to just aim straight for the middle of the patch and throw at what they think is the sweet spot. One thing I have learned is that if you slow down and take a few pitches to the outsides of the pads on your way in, then you will pick up a few more fish instead of spooking them.
