Bass mostly hides in complex waters and likes places with changes in terrain or structure, such as rock walls, dead wood, rocks, etc. Hidden beside rocks, under the shade of trees, in aquatic plants, or next to man-made structures in the water. Generally, there are more small fish on the shore, and there are more bass in waters where there are many small fish.
2. The water at the shore fishing spot should not be too shallow, and steep slopes and small cliffs are best; secondly, it is best to have aquatic plants, but the aquatic plants should not be too dense, as too dense will affect the movement of the bait. It is also easy to cause misjudgment; again, it is best to have shoals nearby, as bass prefer a higher water temperature environment, and there are many small fish in the shoals.
3. Bass likes to be in deep and clear waters covered with reeds and aquatic plants. You cannot fish anywhere where the water quality is turbid, where there are large tides or flash floods.
4. Bass likes to inhabit sandy or sandy muddy still water environments with low turbidity and distribution of aquatic plants and clear slow currents. Often hiding in underwater rocks or vegetation. Fishing skills for freshwater bass 4. Fishing group selection
For lure bass, you can use freshwater minnow, VIB (trembling swim lure), soft worm crank hook bullet lead (ie: Texas line group), small swing Crank, sequins, small fish, shrimp, iron flakes and other artificial baits. Of course, according to the actual situation, lure players still have to adapt accordingly.
1. Small hooks are equipped with soft rods, and large hooks are equipped with hard rods; big fish use big bait, and small fish use small bait. The best length of bait for fishing big bass is about 10 centimeters, while for fishing small bass it can be 5 to 7 centimeters. A soft pole can overcome hardness with softness.
2. At noon and in the shallows when the water is clear and sunny, dark-colored or lures close to the water color should be used. Try to use eye-catching lures in turbid water, evenings, cloudy and rainy days, and deep water. On cloudy days, choose gold. In addition, the color of the artificial bait should be as close as possible to the color of the food.
3. Use a submersible minnow, 18 grams is enough, which can ensure the throwing distance. If you have good skills, you can use soft worms, such as using a "Texas fishing rig".
4. For novice bass bait, it is recommended to use 7-15g minnow, swinging CRANK, and composite rotating sequins, which are easy to cast and retrieve.
5. Texas fishing group, Texas fishing group is developed from the traditional fishing method in Texas, USA. The soft bait used is much lower in cost than hard baits such as Minnow, and it can also catch fish that can be caught with hard bait, and the bass fishing effect is good. It has a stable center of gravity, good balance, and the most natural swimming shape. It is suitable for areas with many obstacles, trees, and mud in the water. It can also be used to detect terrain, especially in unfamiliar fishing grounds. In addition, its center of gravity and wind resistance are both low, so it has a wide search range when thrown far away. It is suitable for slow speed and dragging methods, and is specially used to search the bottom layer and obstacle areas.
The fishing rig needs to consist of about 10 to 20 grams of lead bullets, retaining beads, crank hooks (generally No. 3 hooks are used for bass fishing), and soft bait. The blocking bead is a macaroni bean made of rubber, which is installed between the bullet lead and the eye of the hook to prevent the bullet lead from constantly hitting the line knot and damaging the fishing group during the search process. The function of adding bullet lead is to enable long-distance shooting and prevent the hook from hanging on the bottom. Fishing Tips for Freshwater Bass 5. Fishing Methods
Bass mainly lives in the middle and lower layers of the water, and sometimes dives into the bottom to feed. Therefore, after casting the lure, do not rush to reel in the line and let it sink for a while. Reel the line after about 5 seconds. If you use a curved sequin bait, you don’t need to move your hands when retracting the line. Just retract the line smoothly. Try to keep it at a certain depth, but you can change the retrieval speed and depth each time. Test.
If the lure is bitten but decoupled, it may be that the fisherman did not grasp the timing of raising the rod; or the lure twitches too fast and frequently, causing the hook to be out of position; or the fish is controlled by the fish. The fish is not well controlled. You can adjust the action accordingly.
