Anyone Curious About Bass Fishing Should Definitely Read This

By Lucius Crispo


In the United States, for those who like to fish, bass fishing is one of the most popular styles of fishing. Most anglers prefer trying for largemouth bass, although other types like the smallmouth and white bass can also make for good sport. If you are new to bass fishing or planning a fishing trip soon, the information in the following article can be helpful.

You can catch bass using many types of bait, and you can try different varieties and find out which get you the best results. Bass feed mainly on crawfish and worms, so lures that have the appearance of these creatures are often used to catch them. Using plastic worms is probably the easiest kind of bait to use when you are a beginner to bass fishing.

A main food source for bass is the crawfish, so a popular way to catch bass is to use a crankbait lure because it looks like the crawfish. A lure with spinning metal blades called spinnerbait is another popular kind of lure for bass fishing. The bass will think prey is nearby when using this lure because the motion imitations the movement of small fish.

A light and durable rod made of graphite is probably your best choice. When it comes to choosing a reel, the best one for you would probably be an open faced spinning reel because it is easier to manage. The reel should be able to hold a lot of fishing line, at least 150 feet. Lastly, the type of fishing line you choose is important as well, and monofilament line with low visibility is a good choice.

While largemouth bass are the most popular variety among anglers, another variety you may want to try your hand at is white bass, which are also called sandies. When these fish swim upstream to spawn, there is a well known event called the Spring White Bass run where you can catch quite a few of these fish.

The best water temperature for this activity is 55 degrees, and if you find the ideal conditions, you may find yourself catching bucketfuls of these fish. Because this is a popular time to fish for white bass, make sure you're following any local laws or restrictions and have the proper fishing license. A solid bait-casting reel combined with a sturdy medium action pole is what you'll need to catch this aggressive fish.

Bass fishing, as we've seen in this article, can be an interesting and diverse sport that has both rewards and challenges. If you are a beginner to bass fishing, don't expect to catch a lot of fish the first few times out. Focus on the fun of learning something new and the experience instead of the end results. One you have gotten more experience in where to find the fish, they will start biting.
