Live bait to use for smallmouth bass.

2012-02-29T11:16:00.000-05:00

Crayfish, also known as crawfish, crawdads, or crabs, or soft shell crabs are the number one live bait to catch smallmouth bass in the river.You want to use smaller crayfish 1"to 1 1/2" hooking the crawdad up through the tail. Bass tend to shy away from larger crayfish due to their larger pinchers.
Shiner minnows are also good hook through both lips.The problem I have with minnows is that the perch will bite them but that's ok if your after perch.
Worms or nightcrawler are also great just hooking them a couple times at the end so the rest of the worm moves as it bounce along the rocks.Worms also ten to get hit by small fish that bite the end off the worm but smallmouth bass will attack a worm there is no mistaking a hit from a bass on a live worm.
You can keep the minnows in a bait well ,in the heat of summer we put a small block of ice frozen in a milk carton to keep them healthy.Worms need to be kept out of the sun and in a cool place.Softcraws are fine in a little water or bait buck in a cool place.

If you have a acre of land or more then you are in good shape for a pond. Next check with your local county or township to obtain the proper permits to dig a pond. Make sure there are no underground cables in the area.
Pick a location that has good drainage and the soil below the top soil should be made up of mostly clay dirt. You will need to hire a backhoe contractor that is experienced in digging a pond. A good idea to reduce costs is ask around at the local tops soil companies. We did that and they agreed to dig the fish pond at a greatly reduced cost if they could haul away the top soil.

Bait for catfish

Blood attracts cats quickly over long distances. Blood also keeps indefinitely when frozen. Bait can be thawed and refrozen as needed. Blood bait's most serious drawback is poor "hook ability" it won't stay on a hook very well. Try wrapping the blood bait in a small square of nylon stocking, pull the four corners together, then thread the hook through the corners, leaving the point uncovered.
Sutton readily acknowledges that other baits are effective on channel catfish. "If you're catching catfish on a bait not discussed here, stick with it. But when other baits fail to produce, give fish, blood bait, night crawlers and catalpa worms a try."

Plastic or metal is used to create the vibrating luares that generate a tremor when retrieved out of the water. With a sound (much like a rattle), the baits sink to the bottom and do not get lost in particularly deep waters. A variety of lures are offered in this category, including tailspinners, which are heavy, compact baits of metal that uses a small spinner to attract the bass. Use vibrating lures when fishing about stumps, close to river currents, on deep channel drop-offs, and over waterlogged grass beds.

Never has it been more important to find alternative ways to bond with your child. With all the technology children have access to getting them out of the house has never been more of an issue. Don't let any more valuable time pass away. A Little George or Silver buddy on light line can be cast a "country mile"; they resemble forage fish to the bass.
Fishing with kids!
Bass bunched up on offshore ledges sand bars can be caught efficiently with a lipless crankbait, Use a fast-retrieve reel and a medium-action rod and "burn" the bait back to the boat.
When fishing vibrating lures, use a baitcasting reel with a high retrieve ratio.
The best colors to use for bassin' are silver with blue back, gold and also perch color. These will out perform other colors in most cases.
You can use different type of retrieves when you use a lipless crankbait. You can do a steady retrieve or you can stop and go. A lot of anglers make that mistake of stop and go and let the bait sink down to the bottom. You let it sink just for a split second then retrieve again, then so on. Good luck with your fishing.
Try a crayfish 1\4-ounce Rat-L-Trap in your local pond. Reel it as fast as you can and then stop for about 3-4 seconds and then start again. This will produce more fish for you.

Techniques for Surfacing Fish
When breaking fish are spotted, cast the spoon beyond the surface activity and hold the rod very high. Immediately begin a very fast retrieve, skipping the spoon across the top. If no strike occurs, stop and let the spoon fall on a tight line through the school.
Where to Fish Jigging Spoons
Over tree tops of submerged standing timber.
On the bottom, at the ends and deep sides of points.
Along deep drop-offs and channel breaks.
In deep brush and stumps replace treble hooks with a single hook.

Tuning a crank bait

2010-06-24T10:36:00.002-04:00

Not all fishing lures run correctly out of the box, and sometimes you want them to run a crooked path.I suggests some tweaks to change your crankbait retrieves. If a lure is not running perfectly straight, bend the eye hook toward the direction you want the lure to travel. Repeat until the lure runs straight. If the lure doesn't wobble correctly, change its split ring or tie it on with a loop knot. There are times you may want a lure to swim to the side. Bend the hook eye to the left, then cast the lure along the right side of a dock. As you retrieve the lure, it will swim part way under the dock. Bend the eye hook on a different lure the opposite direction, and use it on the other side the dock.

Largemouth bass

2010-06-17T13:19:00.001-04:00

Largemouth bass will spawn when the water temperature is in the 65 and 70 degrees area. After the spawn the bass will start moving off the spawning beds and move to deeper water. Bass are hungry and will start to feed. You can look for their spawning beds before you go fishing making sure you wear polarized sunglasses. The bass beds will be hollowed out holes in the swallow water.

If you are fishing from a boat make sure to move quietly through the area you are going to fish. Shallow water warms up quicker than deep water and the bass will start looking for bait fish to feed on. Shallow water with lots of dead trees and logs warms up faster look for large rocks where the bass will ambush bait fish from.

The bass are spawning right now and are much easier to find than usual as they are concentrated in certain areas. If you are fishing in the wrong area or with the wrong bait you will just not catch any. Get close to the dense saw grass and just let the wind blow you out towards the lake. You cover a lot of territory and arent constantly fighting with weeds in the trolling motor. You will eventually cover most of the bay with this technique and find several hot spots. The hot spots that are found were closest to the dense saw grass wall and had moss covered pepper grass with lilly pads in about 4 to 6 feet of water.

Try and use baits that look like what the bass are feeding on. Spinner baits are good to use near falling trees. Make sure to tip them with some kind of worm. In the gravel areas jerk baits and artificial baits that resemble cray fish will produce bass. If you are fishing grass beds try using baits that look like frogs. Texas rigged plastic worm works well near shore lines especially near a drop off. Your fishing gear shoud be a spinning or spincast rod and real with eight pound test line depending on the type of cover you are fishing for large mouth bass.

Try different color combinations with your bait. The closer you come to what the bass are feeding on the better. Make sure to vary your retrieves. Try a slow retrieve and use a jerking stop and start to simulate a injured bait fish. There are many different combinations a fisherman can use to catch large mouth bass.

Weed beds and structure, such as sunken islands or steep drop offs near shoals, these are a great to start fishing on a lake or river that is new to you.These are areas that hold baitfish and pike and bass will stay near this type of cover.
If you are new to an area along the river, the best advice is to move up near other fishermen, Or talk to bait shops about hot fishing spots. They hear all the latest fishing spots from anglers buying minnows and other baits.

You can also purchase depth charts of the river which will show drop offs and structure that might hold fish. Charts can be found in most bait shops. Deep water off drop offs or near weed beds can be productive for pike seeking warmer waters or for bass to hide looking to feed on bait fish.

When fishing topwaters, wait for the lure to disappear before setting the hook.
Keep one rod equipped with a topwater lure while fishing. When you spot a feeding bass working the surface, cast the topwater to it.
Topwaters are excellent lures to teach children the fun of bass fishing. Once they see a bass explode on their lure, they're hooked!
