Fun Bass Fishing Methods and Information

By Lahoma Maire


Even experienced bass fisherman still love the feeling of catching a bass no matter what kind it is. Just remember that each time out on the water, or near it, you are learning more about how to catch them.

You can try to bass fish everywhere in the US and never get to all the locations. Even if you live where it's not so warm, there are still certain types of bass to be found there. What you may want to do is try fishing for the different kinds, and then you can decide if you like one or the other. You can hardly get too much information and knowledge about bass fishing, and with that here are some sound tips.

As you may know, there are different species of bass with a popular sport fish being the small mouth. You'll find the brown bass to not be as big and imposing as the large mouth, but it's still great fun to go after them. But one thing to remember is that they're predominantly in the north where the waters are cooler. Of course they are in the same genus, but the difference in species when it comes to fishing for them is not as great as you may think. You can learn about one and at the same time know about the other.

Never think that fish are without ways to protect themselves, and as with so many other animals it's their finely tuned senses, like smell. Bass, like all fish, will smell the bait before they take it, so it cannot be smelling like Old Spice. You want your hands to not have anything on them that will cause odor problems. The lateral line of nerves on their body allows them to hear even though it's not considered an ear. Not all bait is treated or used in the same fashion, and shad is one of those instances where this applies. The technique part of it comes in because you will have to know how shad swims and acts in the water and then emulate this the best you can. What this boils down to is that you'll need to know how to cast and then work the bait when it's in the water. Vary how you do this and what you're looking for is finding the right speed, and you'll know when you get it right because you'll start getting some bites.

The time of year, weather, water temperature will have an effect and to catch the larger types, then it's best to head south, in the US. In the southern waters, the food is more plentiful for bass and that accounts for the great big, fat large mouths.

There are lots of places with water that is a more shallow depth, and if you want to catch small mouth then this is not the ideal place. 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.

Bass do not like fast moving waters, and even if the conditions are fast they'll hold up where the current is slower, and they do prefer waters that are much slower and this is good to know. Bass are particular to waters that are not moving at all or at least very little which means ponds. Bass are famous for hanging out more closer to rocks and trees that are felled and in the water. What they are doing is just staying clear of the current and they tend to hang out there. One of the reasons you find so many bass fisherman, and other types too, is that it's a great way to get out and relax while doing something you enjoy. There are many ways to fish for bass, and that includes getting out into the water or using a boat. And don't forget that there is always fly bass fishing and that's a whole other topic. Your basic skills will improve and you'll be able to change things when you're ready for a change.
