Bass Fishing Strategies You'll Love

By Josephine Donnelly


If you want to be a bass fishing angler, then that's great and you can have a lot of fun with it. You'll make almost instant friends and everybody likes helping each other out. One thing about this is you won't get their best secrets, of course. You'll need to find your favorite fishing spots and any really good secrets, and don't be afraid to spend some money on good quality tackle and other gear.

But it's no use learning the advanced stuff until you know a bit about the fundamentals. They tend to gather in certain places with the right conditions. But you don't want to just catch bass, you want to go after the best ones and be consistent.

The young bass are born during the spring, and this is the yearly ritual you will observe when you're fishing at that time. It's quite common to see a mother bass hovering over her nest which is typically situated closer to the grounds, or the side of the water. They're nesting and taking care of their young, and the nurturing instinct is strong in all females. What many bass fisherman do is simply wait until this time period has passed and the bass are on their way and done with the nest.

You'll need to arm yourself with sound knowledge before you start spending on the equipment you need. If you have money to burn, then that's another story, but if on a budget then you have to be smart. If you're not conditioned to fish all day, you will get very tired with casting for hours on end. And the rod and reel weight will definitely make a difference, so pay attention to the weight of what you're buying, and it's fine to go with a lighter rod and reel combination. One of the most popular types of bass fishing are going for the large mouth bass, and you'll also see them referred to as black bass, and it is a great fish to go for in the bass family. The large mouth can fool some fisherman because this fish will go through transformations of certain kinds with their appearance.

The seasons definitely have an effect on bass behavior and this is critical to remember. As you continue fishing for bass year after year in your area, then you will come to know what to do. Fishing is not what those who do not fish think it is because there's quite a bit you need to be aware of to be successful. Everything is really dependent on the weather during the year, but like all animals, the fish are just responding to the changes of the season. Now you know a bit more about the intricacies of bass fishing, but if you're in a climate that is constant, then that means something else.

Small mouth bass are a terrific sport fish, and they prefer clear waters and also those that are deeper than others. So in this situation, just check in areas where the current is slower and that is where you'll be able to fish for small mouth.

As far as what you can use for bait, like other bass you can use worms, other small fish like minnows, and just about anything living that is small enough. One thing to mention along with the bait conversation is that you may want to try fly fishing with them. And don't forget what you may be able to learn from the people you know such as relatives and friends. So set yourself to reading and learning, and not only that but you need to listen too. There is so much that is available, and the techniques are extremely useful when you're out there doing it for real.
