One of the most popular type of fish to attempt top catch in the entire United States is the Bass. There are four main species of Bass in this country: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Kentucky Bass, Guadeloupe Bass, and Peacock Bass. In this article, the Smallmouth & Largemouth Bass are going to be focused on simply because they are by far the most popular. Bass fishing has evolved into a multi-billion dollar industry from it’s humble beginnings in the late 1800s. The black bass has become the second most specifically sought-after game fish in the United States. The sport has driven the development of all manner of fishing gear, including rods, reels, lines, lures, electronic depth and fish-finding instruments, drift boats, float tubes, and specialized bass boats. The black bass, also known as Largemouth Bass, has even spawned many groups of people who earn their living fishing for them.

Largemouth Bass are found mostly in lakes and large rivers. While the same is true for Smallmouth Bass, smallmouth bass are also found it fast flowing rivers and streams. As a matter of fact in many areas of the country, smallmouth bass can be found in the same waters that trout swim in. Smallmouth can be fished for in the same manner as one does for trout as well. Largemouth bass tend to shy away from the types of currents and small rivers that trout are found in. Bass fishing is an incredibly popular pastime, and in some cases an incredibly lucrative business.

Fishing for bass can be a very expensive proposition, although it surely doesn’t have to be. There are literally tens of thousands of techniques, lures, gimmicks, and plastic contraptions used in bass fishing. The options can become quite daunting. At the end of the day all a person needs to catch a bass is a live worm and a set of gang hooks, but with bass fishing, you can get as technical as you would like. As a matter of fact, one of the best ways to catch smallmouth bass is a live worm rigged on a set of gang hooks. Then simply fish that worm through the current of a river, letting it bounce along the bottom.

Some of the most popular bass fishing techniques are: fishing plastic worms, spinner baits, crank baits, large jigs, and even live bait. There are literally too many techniques to list here, but the ones listed are the most popular. The bottom line is that bass fishing is more or less the grand daddy of fishing. Because of tournaments and organizations like B.A.S.S (which stands for: Bass Anglers Sportsman Society) the activity of bass fishing has become incredibly popular, and doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon. Honestly, when you think about it, how else could someone be convinced to spend $25,000 on a boat that mainly gets used on weekends only? Because what they are using that boat for is so much freakin’ fun…Bass Fishing. Most Bass anglers would have a hard time arguing with this fact.

One of the important things you may want to take note if you want to learn how to fish largemouth bass is to learn how to choose the bait and the lure. You can actually choose from different baits but of course, a wise choice of bait is one thing that can help you get a huge catch.

Among the best baits that do well with largemouth bass fishes are live baits. The bass is a type of fish that loves baits that are alive and moving. Baits that work on largemouth bass may include sand eel, prawns, crabs and small fishes. However, it is important to keep in mind that different baits may have different effectiveness depending on the season.

During the winter, the bass fishes may not grab on your baits, making you get lesser catch. If you went fishing on a winter, you may want to make use of artificial baits like plastic frogs. Choose those that move like real frogs to attract more bass. Frogs are effective baits not only during winter but in the summer as well.

You can also choose floating worms as a good option in largemouth bass fishing. You can also find baits that can also attract bass by creating motion in the water.

If you are fishing in unfamiliar territories, you may want to learn from the locals and study the area to make sure that you have known the best places to find a good population of largemouth bass and not just go out there and leave everything to chance.

So you want to find the best place to find bass fishing in the country. Chances are you are not the only one. The best bass fishing has to be successful, challenging and of course prolific!

There as many theories on where to fish for bass as there are bass anglers. Depending on the time of year, the conditions in which you wish to fish, the type of bass for which you intend to fish, and a thousand and one other variables. The best advice available is that there are some great bass fishing locations in various great states in the United States, and based on your personal tastes, you just have to fish a few of them and find one that is convenient and works well for your personal tastes and fishing styles. One place might yield great results at one particular time of year and be virtually dead the other, and likewise with a plentitude of other variables, but the following list of places and techniques for bass fishing will always give you good, reliable results within specific parameters.

Your first step should be to determine some basics about where to find the bass in any given body of water. A few specifics will almost always hold true no matter where you are fishing. In the first place, bass are found naturally within the continent of the United States. Largemouth bass prefer still water, and smallmouth bass like rough water. All bass like weedy areas, and you can often find them in areas providing lots of cover. If you find an area rich with lily pads on a cloudy day, you are quite likely to find bass there as well. Bass may be successfully fished all year round, but the best temperature for catching bass is between fifty and eighty degrees.

Bass tend to like a bait that moves. Whether it is live bait such as minnows or tadpoles or artificial bait like plastic worms, or brightly colored lures, bass strike at anything that catches their attention, so take advantage of that. During the spawn, using a black lizard around their spawning grounds, and the bass will react quickly, because they believe they are protecting their territory from aggressors.

Bass tend to react more slowly and become much more inactive during cold weather, so if you are fishing in colder temperatures, give your fish a little more time to react to the bait. Simply reel your bait in a little more slowly than you would on a warmer day.

If you are fishing in highly sunny days, fish deeper. If you fish in areas that provide plenty of cover and adjust your depth, you should have better luck during these times of the day.

If you take these bits of advice on technique and apply just a bit of common sense, you will find it much easier to catch fish in great locations such as Dixon Lake near San Diego, California. The 4th largest bass of all times was caught on Dixon Lake. Since the year 2001, Lake Dixon has produced record sized bass. In fact, out of the fifteen largest bass of all time, three of them have come from Dixon Lake. Those kinds of records can not be argued against. If you are looking for record size catches, it is safe to assert that Lake Dixon has to be in the running as the greatest place to catch bass in the country.
