Bass fishing is a great fishing sport but it’s one that requires you to be very patient and it truly is what will separate the successful bass angler from the angler that only has “fish that got away” tales. And since you want that success story, we thought you could use some bass fishing tips.

One certain way for the bass to come out the winner of the day is for you to be lazy.  And do you really want to go home at the end of the day with nothing but your rod and a fish tale?  There’s an old saying that says if you don’t change anything than nothing will change, and that goes for bass fishing too!  And if you think some bass it going to come a long and feel sorry for you, keep dreaming.  This is a sport and you are going to have to outsmart the opponent, “the bass.”

Have you had one of those days when you cast out the line and you wait and you wait but nothing happens?  Not even a nibble?  What if all you had to do is change what you are doing to change the outcome?  Almost sounds too simple doesn’t it?  But it’s not.  And it sure beats the insanity that can set in while you wait. 

One of the best things you can do before going out bass finishing is to find out everything you can about the lake you are going fishing on.  A map that details the water depth as well as the outlining the shallow areas can be very helpful.  This will also help you establish where the cover is which the fish use to hide from you the angler, as well as what the bottom of the lake looks like.

Knowing where to find the fish can be pretty handy too!  That’s where a fish finder comes in handy.  Not only will it show you what the floor of the lake looks like, it will also show you just where those sneaky bass are hiding.  The finder is also good for showing you structures or rock shoals that are often where you’ll find the bass at their highest density. 

You’ve heard it before – it’s all in the wrist – well when it comes to bass fishing much of it has to do with the casting. Take time to perfect your cast and that means focusing on your wrist action.  Practice until you don’t even have to think about it any more and it just comes naturally.  That way you can go out for a day of bass catching that’s relaxing and not even think about your casting.

“Shhh” Bass love quiet areas so you need to develop a habit of finding those quieter areas where the bass hang out.  You also need to distance yourself from that quiet zone while still being able to cast into those quiet waters. 

Bass are a fish that school so if you catch one there’s likely another one just waiting for you.  Catching one is a good sign, and it means you need to slow down and fish the area.  And remember the deeper the water the closer the fish will be clumped together.

Bass are cold blooded so they can only survive in a narrow temperature range and are most active between sixty and seventy-five.  Below fifty degrees and they eat very little because of the sluggish metabolism.  Over eight degrees and they become stressed because of the lack of oxygen in the water.

With these bass fishing tips under your belt, you won’t be coming home empty handed.  No more fish that got away stories, instead you’ll be serving up a fresh bass meal.  So what are you waiting for?
