Bass basics: In this section I will
be talking to you about important information to help you
become a sucessful bass angler.
|
Let's
discuss the different structure where largemouth bass like to
hide,or stay near. Bass love to hide near wood that extends
into the water, weeds,and rock piles under the water.
First let's talk about wood. Bass like wood because it
provides shade for them all throughout the day. It also
makes a good place for them to ambush their prey. Examples
of wood structure would be boat docks, logs, stumps, trees,
and bushes. Now let's talk about weeds or grassy areas.
Bass like to hide here because this form of structure also provides
a lot of shade throughout the day. When it is cold outside
large mouth bass will also come hear because in some cases they
can hold heat. The main reason why bass like to hide here
is because the creatures that bass like to eat, enjoy eating
off the grass. So the next time you go fishing,and you
see a big clump of grass, try casting your bait there a couple
of times. The last structure I'm going to talk about is
rock piles. This is a big structure to find when bass
donot want to bite a bait. This is also an exellent structure
because it holds plenty of heat and the largemouth bass's favorite
food lives here. Can you guess what this is? If
you said the crawfish you are correct.

Fishing safety:
|
Before
going on a fishing trip you need to make sure are you staying
safe. Watch the news or read the wheather report in
the news paper to find out what the wheather might be.
If it is going to be lightening and raining you don't want
to go out on the water. If you are on the water and
you see lighting or hear thunder go back inside. remember
that lightening is attracted to water. If you are fishing
on shore, don't stand too close to the water, I learned this
by myself, you could possibly fall in. Stay a few feet
away from the water. If you fish in a boat please don't
ever try to go on the water alone. Always make sure
you have a parent or guardian on the water with you.
There
are a few things you need to take with you when you are on
the water. ***Life jackets, whistle, paddles,compass,
hat, sunscreen insect repellent, two- way radio or cell phone, drinking
water, rope, and just in case, a rain coat or poncho, and
a multi-tool instrument.
