For thousands of bass fishing enthusiasts the\nthrill of discovering a great location for catching fish can almost equal the\nthrill of catching one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are new to bass fishing or if you are\nplanning to fish in a new location, you will find more success with this simple\nplan to find the best fishing wherever you go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nONE: Research the lake.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re participating in a tournament\nor just spending the day fishing in a new area, nothing can help you find the\nright spots to fish like doing a little research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maps of the area can give you a good start.\nYou may also find information about your location in magazines or websites\ndedicated to bass fishing. The more you know about the area the better you can\nplan your day and (hopefully) make the best catches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nTWO: Get experienced input.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding an experienced guide to accompany you\non your first fishing day on a new body of water can provide you the optimum\nsupport for finding the best fishing spots as well as guidance for the best\ntechniques to use in that water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seasons and fishing cycles will also affect\nthe fishing and an experienced guide will be familiar with the changes that\noccur in fishing patterns in that water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t think that you shouldn’t use a guide\nsimply because you’re an accomplished bass fisher in your own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guides who are familiar with the local area\ncan improve your chances for success immensely. However, if you cannot find a\nguide you can still find good information from local fishing equipment supply\nstores – although they may be giving the same information to other out-of-town\nfishers who may crowd the same spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are preparing for a tournament you will\nwant to have unbiased information lest the guide be in competition with you.\nDoing your own research and testing the lake before competition is still very\nimportant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nTHREE: Know where to look.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning about your ‘quarry’ will help you\nlocate the best fishing spots regardless of whether you are familiar with the\nwater or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since bass like to stay close to objects\nrather than stay in open water you should try angling near rocks, trees or\nother cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the weather and factors such as\nfeeding times or breeding, your fish may be more or less likely to gravitate to\nparticular areas of the lake. Learning about their habits will help you select\nthe best areas and techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nFOUR: Remain adaptable.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While research, a guide and an understanding\nof the habits of bass will all help you locate your fish, you should still\nremain adaptable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing lures, weights and areas frequently\nif the fish are not biting will provide you with hands on research that will\nbuild with your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fish will not all be in the same place doing\nthe same thing so be patient and enjoy the search while planning for the best\ncatch yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nFIVE: Fish safely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very important that you are safe while\nbass fishing in new lake. This can make a complete pleasurable adventure and\nyet successful fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To fish safely, ensure you wear lifejacket\nirrespective of where you are fishing; either from the shore or boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, ensure you have an exit strategy. This\nwill ensure you exit successfully from beaches or rocks and as well return the\nbass from its origin and in all, land safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another important safety tip is that you\nshould always fish with someone. It can be your friend or relatives. If\nhowever, you choose to fish alone, ensure your relatives or friends know exactly\nwhere you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nSIX: Fool the fish with red<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, red lures bass. Red makes the fish\nthink the bait is injured so they can quickly eat the bait all up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, use baits like red hooks on crank\nbait or use spinner bait with red head in clumps of grasses, wood, etc. or\nother forms of shallow cover to fool the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nSEVEN: Match the hatch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bass in varieties of local water has different\nforage they feed on. Therefore, discover the forage the bass in your local\nwater feed on and then match the hatch. \nChoose a lure or bait that imitates or mimics the bass\u2019s prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, bass are barbarians and have\nvarieties of diet like bluegill, shad as well as other kinds of baitfish and\nthey can even consume baby ducks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, if the bass in your local water\nfeeds on minnows, you can construct a lure imitation with a drop shot rig with\na little plastic. Also, if they feed on shad, you can throw in silver colored\ncrank bait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nEIGHT: Consider the lake condition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, the use of electronic devices to\ncheck out the condition of the lake can disappoint when locating fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important however to consider at all\ntimes of the year, how the bass stage and what you might face when you are out\nin the water. This can get you ready of any lake condition as it comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nNINE: Fish early or late<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At dusk or dawn are the two best period to\nfish for bass. This is because at these times, the fishes come out to feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can consider what works best for you. Some\npersons might consider spending the whole day on the beach while others would\nprefer going before the first light or after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nTEN: Save torn worms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, plastic worms get shredded. When\nthis happens, do not just throw them away; save them. Bass is notorious for\nambushing its prey that gets wounded, so, use a torn up worm to get to the bass\nespecially if the water is shallow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nELEVEN: Examine the temperature of the water<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time of the year has a temperature it is\nknown for even though they can change at any time. The temperature of the water\nhas a way of affecting the feeding and general activities of the bass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cooler water, it is advised that slower\nmoving bait be thrown while in warmer water, a more aggressive and faster\nmoving bait should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, the kind of bait or lure used at a\nparticular temperature will determine the amount of fish in your boat after the\nwhole adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP\nTWELVE: Adhere to rules<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are always rules in any local water as\nto retaining bass. Therefore, when you go bass fishing, strictly adhere to such\nrules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is advised that very big fishes should be\nreturned to the water because they help reproducing more fishes. Also, the fish\nto be kept should be above a minimum of 42cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final\nwords<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bass fishing in new water is quite an adventurous experience. With persistence, you can make quite a catch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bass is an irritable fish and requires lots of tapping on different angles to actually be able to get a bite on your bait or lure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
