Many men and women return from a Bass fishing expedition feeling light and vibrant even though they have been outdoors the whole time. The demanding activity seems to revitalize their bodies. The popularity Bass fishing has gathered over the years has grown to an all time high with more and more people discovering its pleasures. Some, however, are hesitant to start because they haven’t got a clue what to do. Here are some tips to get you started.

Artificial baits have been known to catch quite a few Bass. You can also use baitfish, such as mullet, with eye-catching artificial bait over it or remove the spine so that it swims naturally. Use a 2-ounce egg sinker on the hook; this will keep it just under the waves.

The best way to get surface fish is to be sure you keep your distance. Fishing down the creek will help if the water flow is fairly decent. It doesn’t have to be a lot, just enough to keep your bait moving. If there are any bushes, trees, or shrubs around try to hide behind them, then cast your line in. Remember, quietly creep up on them, and wait patiently. If they hear or see you, you won’t get any bites. Have a look out for rocks around the creek. If the soil is moist or damp, lift up the rocks and you may find some nice juicy worms.

If there are lily pads, then a good practise is to run a worm or any soft bait slowly along the bottom right next to the lily pads. You can also buy plastic frogs and mice to skip along the top of the lily pads. For night time bass use a black jitterbug. Use better hooks and if there’s no moon then use some glow in the dark paint on the underside of the lure or they will miss it. Water weeds extending about five feet out into the water are a good source of Bass cover.

You can run any kind of artificial bait along the edge of them and usually snag one or two. Look for underwater structures like big rocks and big stumps. They serve as cover for the Bass. Use various lures and cast in one area a few times just to see if there is any fish that need teasing.

If you catch a Bass DON'T LEAVE THAT SPOT stay there and fish some more after you have removed the hook. Fish will follow the fish on your line and try to steal the bait, especially if it is white bass.

Worms usually work well during light to heavy overcast skies and spinners usually work better in the morning when the sun is reflecting off the water. When you set the hook, try to keep your line tight. You may want to consider giving it another set, as when they jump, it’s very hard to keep your line tight.
