Going Bass Fishing? Take a look at these 15 tips and techniques every bass fisherman should know
Fish slowly.- Work methodically until you find the fish.
- Make sure to watch the weather forecast. Werther be safe then sorry
- Invest in a pair of waterproof boots or shoes.
- Be alert and watchful. Watching the movement in the water. Like, smaller fish fleeing; surface action; or vegetation movement because that’s where the big fish are.
- Before you release the bass back into the water look in its mouth. A lot of time a bass will throw up when there’s a hook in his mouth. This way you’ll know what kind of bait to fish with.
- Set the hook by feel not sight.
- Always make sure your hook is sharp and secure
- Remember A swivel will not affect the lure in a negative way. Use one anytime there is a potential for line twist.
- Using a small hook? No need to jerk on the rod to set it. Just tighten the line and reel faster
- Always check the line because repeatedly rubbing against rocks and other hard surfaces can cause it to break.
- Bass like a lot of motion. Try to keep the bait in front of them as long as possible.
- Hold your rod to the side pointing the tip down while keeping the angle between rod and line at around 90 degrees.
- In my opinion black buzz baits seem to work better that colored ones
- In warm and hot weather use large crankbaits and smaller ones in cooler weather.
