The Best Methods For Successful Bass Fishing

By Jesse Wheeler


To catch a bass practice and preparation are required. Bass fishing can otherwise be very trick if done incorrectly. But, when spools are maintained, individuals practice, and quality bait and techniques are used, a fish will be caught.

Proper spool maintenance is key. If it is only half way filled with line more force is required for it to properly work. This can result in problems. For better results, always check that spools are filled with just the right amount of line to work optimally.

Casting plugs are ideal for practicing. With their use, techniques can be practiced and perfected in an individuals own backyard. The largest available plug is best at first. Sit in a chair and hold the rod and reel as the plug falls to the ground. Practice slowing it as it falls down. When it reaches the ground stop it completely with a thumb on the spool. All of this should be done for half an hour daily to get best results.

With time the plug should land upon targets both nearby and farther away. While casting make sure the upper arm remains in place and all action is done from the wrist and elbow. The best reel is the bait caster reel, which requires only one hand and doesn't twist the line during casting. It works well with either light or heavy line.

Appropriate bait is also essential to ultimate success. There are three highly recommended types: lipless crankbaits, topwaters, and spinnerbaits. The lipless crankbaits are great for luring out a bass hiding in tall grasses. Topwaters are best for early mornings, late evenings, and when there is little wind and surface water ripples. Spinnerbaits are fast traveling both through air and water.

After sufficient preparation and practice, it is time for real fishing. In the United States there are four main types of bass. These are the Guadalupe, spotted, smallmouth, and largemouth bass. The largemouth has distinguishing dark horizontal stripes and grows the largest. The smallmouth has vertical running stripes. Spotted fish have colorings like the largemouths but also have smaller mouths. The Guadalupe is the smallest and also a member of the vulnerable species list.

The first decisions should be the type of bass that will be fished for. Then a journey must be taken to the appropriate area. For most success, fishing should be done at dawn or at dusk. At the fishing location find a swimming target. Bass are normally nearby large schools of smaller bait fish and hide in nearby covered areas. Use spool control skills to go after a specific targeted spot. If the spool has a correct amount of line it should be easy to manipulate. With the one of the three types of recommended bait, a fish will very likely be caught.

Fishing can be a successful and enjoyable experience when approached in the correct way. The necessary supplies and their maintenance are key for their optimal use. Good technique and skill is also helpful, and this can be gained with practice. Using the correct bait in addition, chances are very high that a fisherman will catch himself a fish.
