Lake Bass Fishing Tips

View:

Virginia bass fishing is well-know for its largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass. Anglers of all ages and skills have made bass fishing the most popular sport in Virginia and other states all across the nation. Bass are a lively, active species that feed very aggressively, especially during feeding times. They will try to eat most anything that moves and that will fit into their mouths. This is one of the things that make bass fishing so exciting.

The largemouth bass got its name because it can open its mouth so wide that it could actually swallow its own head. This is because their upper jawbone extends beyond their eyes giving them a wide range of motion. They are not very picky about what they eat, as long as it fits in their mouth they will try and swallow it. The largemouth bass can grow very big with some even weighing in over twenty pounds.

The smallmouth bass is about half the size of the largemouth bass and rarely grow larger than four or five pounds. Their eyes are normally an orange or red color and their jawbone does not extend beyond their eyes. Both the large and smallmouth bass vary in color ranging from a dark brown to a pale yellow-green color. Their sides have dark vertical bars and the belly is an off-white color. The smallmouth bass are faster and more active than the largemouth and are surprisingly strong for their size.

The spotted bass are similar in color but they have spots on the lower sides of their bodies and a dark spot on their gills. Their mouth is similar to the smallmouth bass and they have a rough patch in the middle of their tongue. All bass are considered to be predatory and territorial so, they will normally strike anything that invades their territory.

Different bass fishing locations will have different weather conditions. You need to use the best tools for the current weather conditions so that you can fish like a pro wherever you are, and in whatever weather conditions you are in.

BASS FISHING IN WARMER CONDITIONS

Bass notice when the days start getting longer. In warmer weather conditions they will be getting ready to hit warm shallow waters to feed.

The northwest position of a lake or in primary creek arms seem to hold the largest bass and are an ideal fishing hot spot.

Banks that have a lot of cover will also house some nice sized bass.

Once temperatures rise and hotter conditions prevail bass tend to migrate to river systems and murky lakes.

BASS FISHING IN COOLER CONDITIONS

When conditions are cooler most largemouth bass follow bait fish into impoundments or shallows. Try to match your lure to the type and size of bait fish that the bass are feeding on. Try casting right into the schools of bait fish.

In winter largemouth bass head for deeper water. There is definitely more of a challenge to catching bass in winter. They conserve their energy, having eaten aplenty in the warmer periods, and so bass activity will be significantly reduced.

However, cooler weather conditions mean you'll have less competition and quite often this is when you'll find your largest trophy bass.

The most popular bass bait for cooler conditions is soft baits, followed by hard baits.

In windy conditions pro bass anglers will go to fishing spots where they've found plankton hoping that largemouth bass will be feeding off smaller fish who are, in turn, feeding off plankton.

When light is low largemouth bass tend to feed more often. Moderate rain will often heavy feeding while heavier rainfall may make them retreat though it's possible to find largemouth bass feeding wildly about 15 feet below surface.
