Best Bass Fishing Secrets
Many say that a bass fisherman is only as good as his Bass Fishing lures. Well, this is really only fifty per cent true, the other fifty percent is in knowing and understanding bass habitat. Combine these 2 elements together and you have the best bass fishing secrets. Learning how to catch more bass isn’t really a secret but rather a solid understanding of these principles and how they apply to any given body of water. By understanding what lures apply to what situations and knowing and understanding bass habitat like the back of your hand will go along way to keeping your live well full while the other guy struggles to stay in the bass tournament.
The best way to take a look at how these 2 principles combine is to look at some scenarios we often face as bass fisherman. For example;
Suburban Bassing: This is what I call it when waterways are surrounded by residential development, manicured lawns and corporate build up. You know what I mean bass fishing in the city. Many of the best basswaters in the country are not those large reservoirs that get most of the bass fishing attention. But rather the small, suburban waters like golf courses, country clubs, housing developments creeks and channels in our cities. While many of these small waterways will be off-limits to the general public, you can often get permission to fish in some of these areas just simply by asking.
The benefit is less fishing pressure and you may find that some of your sweetest bass fishing holes may be found right under that culvert behind factory X. Of course learning and practicing what techniques work here will require experimentation but don’t be afraid to test it out. Often these suburban waters will be snag fests, so I usually like to tie on a plastic worm to find that 10 lb bass lurking below.
Fishing from the back of the boat. Ok you finally got a break into a bass fishing tourney by being invited by your friend only to discover you’ve been relegated to fishing from the back of the boat. Oh the humanity. Yes we all love fishing from the front of the boat, but what happens when we are relegated to this lowly spot. No problems just adjust your tactics a bit. Try to set up a system where the guy in the front doesn’t hog all the first casting opportunities, try and set it up so the guy in the front casts to every other good spot, leaving you the poor guy in the back some good opportunities as well. The result you’ll actually be able to cover water faster finding those sweet spots a lot faster.
But what if your not getting those kind of opportunities, and you feel like your getting the short end of the rod so to speak. I’ve been in this situation many times, and sometimes it’s not a bad idea to give the guy in the front a subtle message by casting up ahead of him. Nothing says hey gimme a chance then squeezing in a few “hey don’t forget about me casts”. Hopefully, that help break the ice and give you the chance for the “hey were a team, so let’s fish like a team” opportunity. But then again, if not often being the driver and fishing from the back gives you some subtle control, keeping your eye on the fish finder and positioning the boat just so, might give you some opportunities as well.
These are just a couple frequent scenarios that often bass fisherman face, but even when the pressure is on there are lots of subtle best bass fishing secrets to be told. Just like in this article one tip pertained more to a given urban situation and one had more to do with what goes one above the water. Both are important and can spark ideas to find your own bass fishing secrets. Just learn and discover and you never know what you might find.
