Bass Fishing - Getting Better Results

By Merlin Birmingham


When it comes to fishing tips for bass, baiting the hook will either make or break you. There are some specific things to remember to make the most of of your day on the water.

Make sure that the hook you use is very sharp. Sharpen them yourself with a hook sharpener, or use new ones each time you go out. Hooks lose their sharpness as they troll along the water's bed or when hitting objects in the water. As with any knife, your hooks should be as sharp as possible.

Make it look natural - You want to present the bait as naturally as possible. One of the best ways to do this is by using gang hooks. If your not familiar with gang hooks they will be well worth your time to check into. They will help provide the most natural presentation possible.

The bigger the hook doesn't mean, bigger the fish - I think this happens quite often. When I was first learning how to fish I did the same thing myself. You use a giant hook, wrap the worm on and expect to catch a giant fish. You can easily correct this by using gang hooks. you can use much smaller hooks and get a much better effect. Some of the largest fish are caught with the smallest hooks.

Many people make the mistake of not keeping their hands free of artificial scents. Fish can pick up on strange smells and will avoid bait tainted with it. The best way to eliminate foreign scents on your hands is to rub them with some nearby dirt. Not only will it throw off foreign smells, but will help coat the bait with scents from the nearby environment.

Use the suggestions here to have a more successful bass fishing outing. No matter if you are just going out with friends, or teaching your kids to fish, this advice will surely help.

So remember these tips the next time you're fishing for bass and you should get better results.
