Large Mouth Bass Catching Tips
For those of you that target this fish all of the time might feel that these suggestions are 'Basic Rule of Thumb, because they are!' However, it has been my experience that when it comes to fish catching 'the old ways are the best.' The reason being is the old ways are soon forgotten. So here goes some real old suggestions just to keep you singing that same old time tune of 'hooked up again!'
When it comes to largemouth bass, feeding can occurs any time during the day or night. However, the most solid as well as frequent times are at daybreak, dusk or during overcast conditions. During sunny conditions large mouth bass prefer staging in the shadows around structure such as banks, vegetation, docks, and similar areas. I bet if we could get them to put on their sunglasses they would feel and act differently in the high sun light conditions! However, until that happens consider these suggestions 'text book and confirmed!'
Here's one more tip: Largemouth bass can be ambush predators, lying in wait for prey to swim by. Poor bluegills spawn several weeks after the largemouth bass. The hatching of the bluegills provides young bass with an abundant supply of food supply! Now you know the rest of the story!
