BASS FISHING TIPS PART 1

Tips of how to find bass, trigger a strike and other useful things.

We have compiled tips into general categories in some of the sections below. Many individual tips fit into each general category to cover that topic thoroughly. Since many individual tips fit into more than one category, they are sometimes repeated.

Also listed are individual tips for a specific topic.

PRESSURED LAKES - When your favorite lake starts getting hammered, and your fish have shut off. Try downsizing your lure and keeping it in front of him longer.

WEED FLIPPING - If you are flippin? and pitchin’ plastics in weeds try pegging your sinkers with “Peg Its”, toothpicks, or a rubber band. It will keep you in better contact with your lure.

BOAT TIPS - Instead of dragging out your 50? boat line, make up a six foot one with loops on both ends. It will be quicker and easier for tying up to a dock.

SOMETHING NEW - If you want to try something new, get a can of reel and line lubricant. Spray it on your reel and you will notice a difference in distance and smoothness.

SPONSORSHIP - Everyone wants a sponsor. The best way to do this is by getting to know your local bait and tackle dealer. He can be a valuable link to reps and companies.

LOG BOOK - If you are not already using a logbook, start one this season. You can write down as much detail as you like for every trip, and be able to look at it next year for ideas and areas.

FINICKY - Sometimes the fish get a little finicky. All they might need is a touch bit of color added to the end of the lure with a plastic bait marker or maybe add an eyeball to your lure with a marker.

LURE COLORS - As a basic guide to colors, use dark colors (purple, black, red) in murky water. If the water is clear use more natural colors ( browns, greens, and the seed colors) Remember this is only a guide.

DIVERSIFIED - Yes you can catch some fish on the same lure some times. Nevertheless, try to learn a different technique or style every year. Fishing is a learning experience and the more you know the better you will be.
