Bass Fishing Moss Covered Strip Mines Or Ponds
By Douglas Burns

A friend of mine likes to fish strip mines covered in heavy moss and normally does pretty well with them. His normal choice is a plastic worm for bass but there are times they just are not interested in the worms and he asked what other choices he had.

If you have ever fished a pond or strip mine covered in moss you know how hard it is to find open water to work your lures. But you also know that these waters can be very productive. I can understand why he likes these places. They are generally isolated, in most cases you may be the only one there, and they are productive.

With moss covered mines or ponds you have to look for open water or breaks in the moss. You normally do not have a lot of room to work your lures and very rarely can you work them deep especially if you're fishing from the bank.

If the water is almost entirely covered by moss I will try shiners in whatever open water I can find. It is kind of like dropping the bait into a hole. I will begin fishing about three feet deep and gradually increase the depth until I get a hit or my bait is on top of the moss. I have had some very productive days using this approach.

If you can find some breaks where the moss is just below the surface try using buzz baits. They do not snag as much as some of the other top water lures. Buzz baits can be very effective and most times you can actually see a V shape coming after it. If you do don't get to excited and set the hook before he takes it. Unfortunately I have done this a couple of times.

There are other top water lures that may do well including poppers, spitters, prop baits, hard stickbaits, soft stickbaits, etc. My choices for fishing Moss covered strip mines or ponds are plastic worms, buzz baits and shiners.

Properly caring for fish: Proper catch and release

2008-08-15T08:31:00.000-04:00

I dont want to insult anyones intelligence about handling bass. Most know how or watch the TV shows, so we know how to lip land, we know to keep our filthy hands off their body as much as possible.

However it seems we dont seem to know how to care for fish, that we catch, that need handled a little different based on the situation.

One issue that comes to mind is when a largemouth bass is so hungry it swallows a hook. Now this doesn't happen to me much as I do not use live bait, and it typically happens for those that use live worms especially.

When a largemouth swalows a hook, the majority of the time the best thing to do is to cut the line as close to the eye of the hook as possible. One time I was really honked off during an outing with my odest son. We caught Skeletor the largemouth bass and he still had fishing line and lead weight hanging out of his mouth.

The odds are against these fish, but we can help them out and just maybe they can survive to make the next spawn and pass on those good genes to their offspring.

Better yet, if a fish is hooked like skeletor was in the throat, wouldn't it be best to take it home for a nice meal since it is unlikely to make it?

Hula Popper

2008-08-06T06:51:00.000-04:00

The use of the Hula popper requires patience. It needs to be fished slowly, around 10-20 seconds between jerks or twitching.

The Hula Popper should be fished very slowly and can be jerked to create a loud popping noise creating lots of vibration in the water or it can be twitched lightly and allow the tail to do the work. I use both methods depending on the water condition and what the bass are keying on. When starting out, I will run the popper close to the bank and other cover.

If the water is clear I will twitch it lightly to allow the flash of the skirt and movement of the lure to do all the work. If the water is darker I give it the harder jerk to illicit the loud popping noise and create more vibration so fish can home in on the bait in the darker water.

The Beetle Spin

2008-07-30T08:23:00.000-04:00

One of the most effective lures in the spring for me has been the beetle spin. It is not only effective for bass fishing but can bring in those paper mouth crappie and the other panfish like bluegill.

What makes the beetle spin so effective is its versatility. Using the safety pin type spinner one can quickly change jig heads and bodies without having to re-tie line. You can also easily change out the soft bodies with different colors.

I have even gone as far as replacing the traditional beetle spin split tail body with plastic grubs and fish bodies. You can even remove the spinner altogether and use like a regular jig with whatever body you like.

Turn Into a Bass Fishing Genius Starting From Here

By: Chris Douglas

Relaxing and fishing are synonymous with each other; one is the same as the other. It's a terrific stress buster. I love fishing more than anything else in the sporting world and bass fishing is top of the list.

What a great way to spend a low key, wound down day; bass fishing and loving every minute of it. Bass fishing makes you think all the time as you relax in the boat and take it easy when the fish are nonresponsive.

As you probably have thought, there are a lot of black and white situations in bass fishing; once you are introduced to it, you either want to have more of it in you life or you never want to be involved at all. Yes or no, there's no middle ground.

When you come right down to it, there are so many areas involved in bass fishing that you may not be clued into when you are starting out. There's no doubt about it, though, that you can't beat catching a largemouth bass on the line and the battle that ensues.

Some folks can be identified by their likes and dislikes in the world of bass fishing; some like to fish for smallmouth, some like to fish for largemouth, and there a many that will go for striped bass. It's a fact that most bass fisherman have a favorite fish type that they like to angle for, but it's not an all or nothing thing.

Surf casting or fly fishing or stream fishing or fishing from a boat; some of the options you have as a bass fisherman when you take up bass fishing and look into just how many sides to the sport there are.

Other than boat fishing, not many methods of bass fishing are preferred. Most of us are afraid to try something new by ourselves, so if you are just beginning to learn bass fishing and are afraid to go out fishing in a boat all alone, then find a social group of bass fishermen and go out fishing with them to try your hand at it and see if you like it.

Get rid of your fears that are holding you back when it comes to bass fishing from a boat, and get in with a party of bass fishermen who can show you and teach you all you need to know to get your feet wet. Being new at bass fishing can be scary for some, but if you are traveling with a group of bass fishermen, you will find out all you need to know about the sport in record time.

Bass Fishing Without A Pole

2008-02-17T13:34:00.000-05:00

by Steve Gillman

Bass fishing usually requires a fishing pole, but there are other ways, and that is what this story is about. A warning though: The techniques described here are almost certainly illegal wherever you go fishing. They were fun when we were kids though...

Bass Fishing From A Raft

Wilsey Bay in Michigan's Upper Peninsula is known for its good smallmouth bass fishing. The swimming isn't that bad either, which was why we built the raft. My friend Bruce was probably the oldest at the time, about twelve-years-old. It was probably his idea to use the oil barrels for flotation. Four of them, topped by some wooden pallets and plywood nailed together, made a raft that could support seven or eight people.

We anchored it in the middle of the bay. It is a shallow bay, so the middle was still only six feet deep or so. This would be our swimming area, but more than that. We started to bring small trees out and sink them with milk jugs full of sand and pieces of cinder blocks. Of course, we didn't know that it was illegal to build an artificial environment for fish. In fact, we didn't know that this was what we were doing. We built walls of rocks underwater as well.

Within a few weeks there were schools of fish hanging out below our raft in the racks and tree branches. There were some perch, but most of them were smallmouth bass. As we watched then swimming below us, and then as we watched them next to us during our dives. I had an idea. Who needs a fishing pole when you can get this close to the fish?

Bruce kept the bucket ready in the boat, which was tied to the raft. I had one fishhook and three feet of line. I tied the hook to one end of the line and tied the other end to my finger. I treaded water while Bruce baited the hook with half of a worm. He threw the line over the edge of the boat.

Swimming by the trees, I simply let the baited hook float alongside me, trying to hold it out from my body a couple feet. I could only hold my breath for a minute or less, but by the second dive a ten-inch bass darted out of the tree branches and took the bait. I swam to the boat and lifted it up for Bruce to take. Just barely legal - or at least it would have been if it weren't for the trees. Then again, maybe a fishing pole is a legal requirement. Bruce threw it in the bucket and I went back down for more.

Perch Fishing By Hand

The little creek that enters the bay was occasionally stopped by the sand that built up during storms. Then the water would build up behind the sand for days until it broke loose and opened up the stream again. We didn't always wait, however. Once there was sufficient water pressure, a simple channel dug through the sand by hand, from the dammed creek to the bay, was enough to get it going. It would start out slowly, and then, within an hour the creek would be gushing out into the bay, twenty-feet across where our three-inch channel had been.

Since the creek rarely flowed this fast normally, other things happened that weren't normal. The fish that had been in the creek behind the dam would all get flushed out, for example. The day of the "perch flush" the creek had opened up almost thirty-feet wide, but only a few inches deep. As the perch came out, we grabbed them by hand until we had a couple dozen in a bucket. We built a pond on the beach for these, since it was too many to eat all at once.

Other Childish Fishing Techniques

We caught smelt one at a time by hand with a flashlight, as many as forty in a hour or two. We shamelessly clubbed suckers in the creek ad brought them to the neighbor. She would pressure-cook them with ketchup, and they came out looking and tasting almost like canned salmon. Half for herself - that was the charge for cooking them for us.

Whether bass fishing without a pole or clubbing suckers, these are probably not techniques you'll want to try unless you want to meet the local game warden. And I do have to warn you that the last time I tried using just a hook and a piece of line, the fish bit my thumb and drew blood. Yes, I may be the only person to ever had blood drawn by the bite of a smallmouth bass. But it is fun to remember how much fun childhood fishing could be.

Bass Fishing Tackle

Bass Fishing Tackle: Helpful Tips And Advice by Jack Mitchell

Many say that only those people who live along the seashore get fond of fishing. Most working individuals who live in the cities find more interest to go fishing particularly during weekends when they tend to have their rest after a long week pressure in work.

It is true that some of the people consider it as their source of living but others find pleasure in it, so finally they will realize to just make it as their hobby. Don’t you know that most of the people who are getting into it even spend a lot of money just to buy the necessary equipments for fishing? It includes the baits, fishing rod and even the boats that they prefer to use when they go fishing. Some would even make it as their collections.

Talking about fishing as a hobby and just to give you finer points about it, there are lots of information about bass fishing that you can surf in the net.

Lots of boxes full of lures and baits can be found when you deal about bass fishing. They had been used once or twice and sometimes anglers would suddenly realize that these lures would serve its purpose anyway, so they shouldn’t regret even though they spend a lot of money just to purchase such stuffs.

If this is your motivation for most of your lure purchases, then before you walk into the tackle shop again and spend some more of your hard earned money, you may want to take some advices first from someone who has been there and done that, so you wouldn’t spare any regret in the end.

Most of the anglers usually go to their favorite tackle departments and try to check on the different selections of offerings that they are thinking and planning to purchase. One of the examples of the things that you can realize after visiting your most favorites tackle department is that, fisherman should take it more significantly to look at their lures as tools and not as toys.

Moreover, aside from the necessity of knowing the right tool to be used, for a successful and dedicated bass fisherman, it is a significant consideration that they must try to know the proper manner of using it and under which conditions.

To give you a clear picture on it, here is a very basic instance. Just try to consider this scenario, if a miner is hired to drill a tunnel through bedrock, it would be unproductive to use a bit that is designed to drill through sand or topsoil. Everything must conform under the proper condition.

Now, obviously the same analysis applies to bass fishing, remember that lures are intended to be used in certain situations and conditions. To throw jerk bait with three sets of treble hooks on to a mat of floating moss is the same as attempting to drill through granite with a sand bit. You have to use the proper tool for the conditions at hand.

Lure are used to catch fish but you must bear in mind that by simply throwing your lures in the water, it is already a guarantee that the fish will get near to you and take the lure as you wish. Bass Fishing needs a lot of considerations, such as the weather condition, the season, the type of body of water (be it natural lake, reservoir etc.). This is just the right time that you will determine where the fish can be found and the time when you can decide on the right lure to be used.

This may seem like a lot of thinking to do on a day of recreating. But of course, the more time you spend on the water, practicing these techniques starts to become second nature and you'll spend much less time organizing expensive lures that don't seem to work. This is already a big help for you anyway.

Remember that there is no substitute for experience, as the saying goes, and there is no opportunity better than fishing to prove that maxim true. So the next time you are in the tackle shop, stop for a minute and think about what you are doing, do not do things without even thinking about it.

Fly-Fishing for Largemouth Bass

2008-01-22T14:21:00.000-05:00

When we speak of bass, we are talking about four main species in the U.S., all of which are taken regularly on fly rods. In my opinion, fly-fishing is the ultimate way to enjoy the sport. Nothing can equal the thrill of a Largemouth bass exploding from the water and smashing your fly, or a river Smallmouth making psychotic twists and turns in an attempt to throw your fly. Hooking a Stripped Bass on a fly rod is akin to battling a small submarine.

Equipment for Largemouth bass is basic. You will need a 6-8wt fly rod in the 8-9 foot lengths. I recommend a medium action graphite rod because you will need some backbone to exert pressure on a hooked bass near cover, and will need some bend in order to cast the larger bass flies. Your reel should have a disc drag. Largemouth bass do not make long runs, but they will put a lot of pressure on your equipment.

Largemouth bass tend to be lake and larger river fish. They do not particularly like current, and favor warm water. They are ambush predators, and will attack anything they think will fit in their mouth, from small nymphs to baby ducks, small mammals, frogs, and other fish. They are fearless and do not spook easily. They are not meticulous feeders.

Largemouth bass respond to noises in the water, and anything nearby that splashes, gurgles or pops will trigger an attack. In addition, movement can trigger attacks. Bass are not particularly color conscious so that is the last factor to consider in selecting a fly. Usually, anything with a good contrast to the background that they can see well is good enough. The main decision you have to make is to fish on top of the water, or sub-surface.

The classic bass fly for top water is the Deer-Hair Popper. They can be purchased at most stores carrying fly gear, or tied yourself. There are many different variations and color combinations, and they all work. My favorite is a white and red one, because I can see it well on the water. Next, there are many types of foam bugs, frogs and cork poppers available, and again, they all work. Some are the size of small birds and can be difficult to cast in a breeze, so keep that in mind.

For sub-surface action, the two best flies are the weighted Wooly Booger in black, brown, olive or any combination, and the Clouser Minnow in colors to match the local baitfish. If I could only have two flies to fish with, these would be it. They catch anything that swims in both fresh and salt water, anywhere in the world! No fly box should be without a good supply of these two flies. My next choice is the incredible Hard-Hackle Worm, invented by Richard Komar of Plano, Tx. This is the fly anglers version of a plastic worm, except it works better. Purple and black are my best colors. On this fly, you cast it near cover and just let it float for a bit, then softly twitch it, and it will begin to sink slowly.

Give it an extra twitch every so often, and Hang-On! Bass hit this fly very viciously! Another fly I like for Largemouth is another of Mr. Komars creations, the Texas Bullfrog. Both patterns are very successful. Other good patterns are the Dahlberg Diver, and various leech patterns.

Information on Bass Fishing

Must Have Information On Bass Fishing
By Blake Stuart

The number one way to success with bass fishing is to have a good knowledge and understanding of the bass fish itself. Once you understand the bass more clearly you will catch more and have a much more enjoyable time in the process.

By fully understanding the bass you will be able to consider all the conditions and circumstances when you are on your fishing trip which in turn stacks the odds in your favour when you are going out bass fishing.

The first important thing to consider is how the bass eats, a recent study conducted on bass fish in tanks showed that bass prefer to eat bait from the crawfish family, this includes crayfish and crawdads. This was found to be the case largely because they are the easiest food for the bass to find and catch.

This does not mean that you should limit your bait to crawfish whenever you go out bass fishing as there are other good baits that can be just as effective. Choosing the right bait depends largely on the conditions when you are out fishing, it is therefore worth having a number of bait options with you when you are out bass fishing.

Oxygen Levels

We all know that all creatures, even water borne ones like the bass require oxygen to live so it is important to consider the oxygen levels in the water at the time you are fishing.

If you are fishing in a stretch of water with a low oxygen content the bass are very likely to be slow and cumbersome so will not want to chase your bait through the water. The oxygen content of the water is largely dependant on its temperature, warmer water tends to harbour less oxygen than the cooler water so bear this in mind while fishing in shallow water in the summer!

Secluded areas

This is the last important factor to consider when fishing for bass. Bass tend to like to hide and ambush their prey wherever possible this means you are more likely to find them in cover than out in open water. Bass are not particular fans of bright sunlight either so this is just one more reason you are far more likely to find bass in secluded areas such as under trees and plants than in open water.

Your equipment

The use of good quality bass fishing equipment can mean the difference between landing a trophy bass and going home empty handed. It is important to buy the best equipment you can afford but it is important to remember that the most expensive equipment may not necessarily be the best. If you are looking to buy some good kit then I highly recommend you get the latest magazine with equipment reviews in it as these often contain special offers on good quality kit.

A Guide To Striped Bass Fishing In The USA

2008-01-08T17:35:00.000-05:00

A Guide To Striped Bass Fishing In The USA
By John Andersen

The striped bass is almost always known to as the “striper.” Like largemouth bass fishing, striped bass fishing has caught on to become one of the most popular sports and leisured activities in North America. In fact, in some places like Cape Code, it is one of the most acclaimed forms of angling throughout the season. Both children and adults can participate in striped bass fishing.

Although bass can be found in many different spots throughout the North American continent, the striped bass often resides on the Eastern Seaboard, ranging from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Southern Georgia.

Part of the reasons why striped bass fishing is more popular in Northeastern states and Mid-Atlantic states, other than Southeastern states, is because the perfect spawning temperature is somewhere in the mid-range for striped bass. Normally,the striped bass will spawn when the water is between 59 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. If it gets hotter than that, the quality of the eggs can be affected by the higher water temperatures. This means that the striper have to travel to deeper and cooler waters when the temperature of the water starts to increase.

In the Springtime, striped bass fishingis is becoming even more popular in the Northeastern United States, as striper travels up the Eastern Seaboard to spawn to waters of optimum temperature. Usually, the female will lead and several males will follow – the purpose, of course, is to spawn further North and down the coastline.

In the Fall, again, as water temperatures cool off, striper re-emerge from colder, deeper water to be visible on the Eastern Seaboard, which means that striped bass fishing once again becomes extremely popular.

No matter where you reside or what season of the year it happens to be, striped bass fishing is almost guaranteed to be an interesting endeavor, as striper is one of the largest variations of bass – and is known for putting up a fierce fight against anglers. Good luck with your Bass fishing.

Secret Smallmouth Fishing Techniques by Trevor Kugler

2008-01-08T17:25:00.000-05:00

For those of you who like to catch Smallmouth Bass this article is for you. I'm going to reveal one very effective technique that will help you catch more Smallmouth on your next fishing outing. Not only that, but I will also provide you with some tips that will make you a better angler as well. These simple yet effective tips are easily worth the five minutes it's going to take you to read this article.

For the purpose of this article, I'm going to focus on fishing for these bass in the current of a river or stream, simply because that's my area of expertise...river and stream fishing. If you've never had the pleasure of hooking and fighting a two to four pound Smallmouth in the flowing waters of a river or stream, let me assure you that it's as much fun as can be had while clothed! Catching these feisty fish in rivers and streams is a ton of fun.

Let's begin with the technique. It's really quite simple. All that you need are some small swivels, split shot sinkers, pre-tied gang hooks, and live worms. I'm going to assume that you're standing in a river or stream that contains smallmouth bass. Begin by taking the end of your line and tying on a small barrel swivel (size 10 or 12). Now on the opposite end of the barrel swivel, tie on a set of pre-tied gang hooks (size 8 or 10). At this point add split shots above the barrel swivel for weight. Start with two or three, the goal is to have your offering bounce off the bottom as it tumbles naturally with the current. The number and weight of the split shot will have to be adjusted depending on the current. Now simply add a live worm to your gang hooks and your good to go.

The goal is to cast your line parallel to the current, and then let it flow naturally with the current, until the worm is directly below where you are standing. Keep your line taught as it flows with the current, and you should feel it hitting bottom from time to time (getting snagged will happen while using this technique). With a little practice, you'll quickly be able to tell the difference between a bite and bottom.

The technique just mentioned is an extremely effective technique for smallmouth fishing is rivers and streams. It works quite well for trout also, if you're interested? Another great tip is to make sure that your on the water fishing when the fish are the most active. How do you know when the fish are the most active? Simple, by paying attention to the weather and moon, and knowing how these two forces of Mother Nature relate to fishing.

The final tip/technique for smallmouth fishing is to use lures that are as realistic as possible. I realize this might sound very sophomoric, but there are fishing lures that are more realistic than others, and using these amazingly realistic fishing lures will increase your catch rates, it's as simple as that.
