Bass Fishing - Local Bass Clubs
One of the most intriguing things about bass fishing is that
you need to do more
than just throw in a line and hope they'll bite. Bass
fishing requires skill
and planning, plus an ability to adapt your strategy to suit
the prevailing
conditions. The more you understand about how bass live and
eat, the better
your chances of catching one. So let's take a look at a few
things you need to
consider when you're bass fishing.
What Time of Day is Best?
First, think about the time of day when you're going bass
fishing. Bass are
generally most active around dawn and dusk, mainly because
that's when baitfish,
their main food source, are active. Just to make things
trickier, though, this
trick is only valid on days when the water is warmer,
preferable above 50
degrees Fahrenheit. When the water is cooler, baitfish
generally aren't as
active, so the bass won't be either.
How does weather and Time of the Year affect Bass?
The weather can also dictate your approach to bass fishing.
When it's cool, for example fall or early spring, bass
respond well to top water
lures. You will also have a better chance of finding them in
shallow water than
you will when the weather warms up. They like to stay in
close to the
shoreline, under overhanging trees. Once the temperature
starts to rise,
however, the bass generally find themselves some cool, deep
holes to lurk in.
So then you'll need a different approach, and will probably
find a plastic worm
dredged along the bottom is the best way to get the
attention of the bass hiding
there.
Do I Need to Adjust my Fishing Tactics to Different
Conditions?
Check out the water quality, too. When the water is churned
up and muddy, bass
mostly rely on their sonar to locate food. In that
situation, lures that
vibrate, or have a ball bearing inside to make some noise
can be very effective.
Bass are much more wary and cautious when the water is
clear, however. In that
situation you need to use light lines, and make sure your
lures look like food.
Black spinner blades are often more successful, because they
don't flash as much.
Most of the time, though, you'll probably be fishing in
normal water, with the
usual plankton and algae present to block out some of the
sunlight. In those
conditions most lures can be used, and it's harder to decide
which is the right
one. Some anglers will set up three separate outfits, and
put a different lure
on each one, to see which one the bass are attracted to. Try
a plastic worm, a
surface lure and a deep diver, and if they don't work,
choose different lures
and try again.
Although varying conditions require specific solutions, bass
fishing enthusiasts
overwhelmingly agree that a plastic worm is the best lure to
use when fishing
for bass. So if you're not sure exactly what to do, try a plastic worm first.
Catch up with local fishing enthusiasts, too, and see if
they can give you any
hints or tips. But most importantly of all, enjoy yourself!
