When it comes to choosing the top 3 bass fishing techniques, if you ask three different bass anglers, you are probably going to get about three different answers, and even those three are apt to change regularly. The best I can do is give you some great information on what I think is most important when it comes to catching bass.
Water condition is always a variable that you have to adapt to, because you can't change the condition of the water. If you know what to do to maximize your fishing no matter what the condition of the water is, you are going to stand a much better chance of bringing home a good catch in all kinds of conditions. Here is some information that will help you catch fish no matter the condition of the water in which you are fishing.
Adapt your strategy based on the condition of the water in which you are fishing. When the water is clear, it is actually more difficult for the bass to see light colored baits. For that reason, always use a darker colored crankbait, spinner, or spoon if you are fishing in water that is clear. Darker bait seems to elicit much cleaner strikes from bass.
Know how to find the bass!
If you can find the baitfish, you will likely find the bass. Just pay close attention to the schooling baitfish, and chances are you will find the bass close at hand. Know that bass generally can be found around deep structure, and respond well to spoons or spinners.
Know which bait to use to catch the bass.
Bass are challenging, but there are several types of bait and lures that consistently catch more bass. It pays to do your homework, use some good, old fashioned trial and error to determine what is going to work best for you, where you fish, and catch more bass, and once you have hit on a winning combination, perfect your technique until you have honed it to a fine art!
When it comes to adapting to water conditions, just remember that what works one day might not work the next, but some general rules do tend to hold true all the time. If the water is clear, use dark colored lures. If the water is murky or you are fishing in low light conditions, choose something that is going to pick up whatever light there is such as something with shine, or lighter, more vibrant colors.
When it comes to knowing where to find the bass, of course things like sonar, depth finders, and topo maps can make a huge difference, but you may not have those things, and if you don't, there are still some things that you can know that will help you pinpoint likely areas in spite of that.
The top layer of the water is usually warmer during the mild season, and is usually very active during the spring months. For that reason, if there is a sudden change cool snap or if a weather front comes through, the fish might seek out the warmth and move up toward the surface. |
