Bass Fishing Trip & Tips
When my girls can't go fishing with me, I borrow some family
friends and we have a great time!
- Bass are actually most active during the hot summer months; their metabolism speeds up as the temperature climbs, so they are more active and must feed regularly.
- After the cast, it's all about the rhythm of jerks and pauses. The colder the water, the longer the pauses; the warmer the water, the shorter the pauses.
- Shiners are most effective when fishing for small and large mouth bass in ponds or lakes (moderately still water).
- Live worms are most effective when fishing for small mouth bass in rivers and streams.
- In clear water, feel free to downsize the lure and line. In muddy water, it's best to go with bright colors and larger baits.
- Lure pattern should match the natural environment. For example, if fishing in a northern lake with perch or bluegills, choose colors similar to greens and oranges.
- Bass are object oriented, so expect a rock, tree stump, drop-off or even tree shadow to hold fish.
There's nothing like seeing someone smile after a great catch;
although most of the time, I "catch" the fish, and the kids reel it in!
