| Spring time! Every bass
fisherman feels the warmth of the
spring sun and gets that distinct
itch to stop by a park lake on the
way home from work, visit the local
lake for a few hours, or go hit a
tournament! What ever the case
may be I would like to share some of
my tips for landing more bass during
this prime fishing season!!!
TIPS:
1. First and far most
important to spring bass fishing is
a good pair of polarized glasses if
you are fishing water with some
clarity. These glasses are a
life saver when site fishing.
When conditions such as glare, wind,
or cloud cover hender the ability to
clearly locate the fish...every advantage is
crucial for success.
2. Weather you are fishing
for bass on a bed or active bass in
the area remember bass are very
aware of their surroundings.
Use finesse with your presentations
and be stealth when maneuvering
around the lake. When you walk
up on a bass on a bed and he sees
you and slowly backs off and swims
away the challenge has just begun.
Back of slowly and try to stand
behind a tree or bush if available.
3. Stand very still and
don't make any sudden movements.
Most often the bass will return
within minutes. When the bass
returns test his aggressiveness and
loyalty the this location.
4. Cast out and drop the
bait as softly as possible just past
the bed or nest. Drag the the
worm towards the bed and the head of
the bass. If the bass noses
down on your soft plastic bait and
just wont bite I would recommend
casting near his head very softly,
letting it settle on the bottom,
then popping the worm up and
literally hitting the bass in the
face with the soft plastic and
letting it settle on the bottom and
waiting for his reaction.
I was fishing Irvine Park lake in
Orange County, CA. and I hit a bass
on a bed in the face with my worm
and let it sit. His first
reaction was to "run" so to speak
but he came to an abrupt stop.
He then turned around in anger an
inhale my soft plastic worm baby crawfish
color, crunched it once, then swam
off with it in it's mouth. It
was only about 1 1/2 but still very
exciting to watch!
