Catching wide mouth bass

The following article includes some amazing information that may cause you to reconsider your largemouth bass fishing stratergies. The most important thing is to read this with an open mind and be willing to change your way of fishing if necessary.




We're going to talk about using lures to hammer the big largemouth bass

in your area.



Most importantly, follow the special guidelines for using crankbaits... and you'll attract instant attention from the monsters... no matter where it is... and no matter how cold it gets!



And if that isn't enough... this video will show you the quickest shortcut to catching mass bass quickly:





If you are a bass fishing enthusiast and visit a lake or pool with a high population of largemouth bass then the likelihood is that you have a working knowledge of he techniques that can be used to catch them throughout the year.



After all, they do have certain behavioural patterns that they follow year in and year out.



If you are a seasoned expert then you probably have it down to a fine art by now, but how much thought have you put into the lures you use? Whether you are a novice or an expert, you should take the time to look into the different lures to see which ones work best with the largemouth bass in your local pool or lake.



Lures are essential pieces of equipment and using the right ones can really increase your catch rate. If you use the wrong ones then this can dramatically reduce your catch rate as well so taking the time to figure it all out is an excellent idea. Of course, it is not only the lures you choose but also the way that you use them. This is why it is one of those things that you have to perfect over a season or two rather than just falling into it or picking it up right away. There are so many factors to consider - the clarity of water, the vegetation, the nature of the habitat. As such, you should investigate the

nature of the lures and what they actually do so you know when to use them.



Spinnerbaits are a fine example of that.Largemouth bass absolutely love spinnerbaits and they can really improve your catch rate, but only if you use them correctly. They are perfect for use in vegetative areas and also in shallow waters. They are especially useful for dragging along the bottom of a lake or through thick weeds. As such, they target he largemouth bass proactively and directly so you do not have to wait for them to bite. You should choose those with bigger blades though because they cause a greater vibration in the water.



They are not good for medium or deep waters though. For those, you need other types of lures.



Truthfully, the only difference between you and largemouth bass experts is time. If you'll invest a little more time in reading, you'll be that much nearer to expert status when it comes to largemouth bass.



Crankbaits are fantastic for use in medium waters, especially if you are skilled enough to get them to turn when the bass is approaching. Depending on the depth of the water, you can choose shallow, medium and even deep diving crankbaits. No matter what type you choose, they will have the largemouth bass eating out of your hand. Literally in most cases! Worms are also fantastic lures, especially the plastic ones that are used on a regular basis.



The bass go crazy for hem because they are so realistic and are textured as if they were real. They are excellent for use in the vegetation and when fishing deep and well as in shallow pools. Worms are literally the great all rounders of the lures selection you have at your disposal so if all else fails, they should be the lures you turn to.



Worms are particularly known for their deep fishing abilities with largemouth bass.



However, no matter how deep the waters it is prudent to try surface fishing in the spring and summer. Buzzbaits and torpedoes are perfect for that.



Their minute vibrations disturb the topwater and actively attract the bass like no other.



However, they may not work as well in rougher waters. In those waters you should use a chartreuse swimbait instead. Swimbaits look exactly like real fish a will move on the water as though they are too. As such, you can achieve great results from these lures during topwater and surface water fishing.



Lures and their correct usage are extremely important when it comes to actually having a successful day on the lake. They can make all the difference between a poor and a great catch rate. As such, it is worth taking the time to learn how to use them and to familiarise yourself with when each type should be used and how.







While everyone else is out hunting, I urge you to get out there and try some of this stuff if you can.



The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact on your largemouth bass fishing. Then you'll be glad you took the time to learn more about largemouth bass.

Making your own fishing lures can be a great way of saving yourself a bucket load of money on shop bought lures, it can also be very relaxing and can become a great new hobby for those times when your not out fishing.

You should start off by making a simple fishing lure first till you gain confidence and get used to using your tools, a simple one to start with is the wobbler this is an old time favourite with fishermen. It is a simple shape and does not require a lot of carving skills perfect for the beginner, it is generally 4 inches long and 3/4 of an inch diameter these are normally classed as bait casting size perfect for spin casting and spinning.

Once you have cut your timber to length you will need to carve to a round shape along its length and round one end, then on the other end cut a 45% angle you will then need a gauge chisel to form a groove on the end you have just cut to 45%. to finish the fishing lure you will need 3 treble hooks and 4 screw eyes, you should make pilot holes before attaching the hooks and screw eyes you do this using a brad awl, attach the treble hooks to 3 of the eyes then attach one to the rounded end of the fishing lure then attach the other 2 at about a third of the way in from either end. The attach just the eye to the 45% end you cut earlier now all that is left is to paint your fishing lure to your requirements.
