What Are Some Bass Fishing Tips For Locating Bass!
Bass like to stay close to structures no matter where you are looking for them. In lakes, a good place to cast is near pylons, docks and fallen trees. Smaller fish will call these places their home and that will give the bass food but also they like the shelter from the structure. Creeks and rivers are great places to find them too. With rocks and drift wood spread all along these waterways bass feel comfortable hanging out and spawning in them. Often there will be thick foliage for them to use as cover as well.
Bass Fishing Tip No 5
Stormy weather will bring fish out. They will go into a feeding frenzy right before a storm front moves in. Bass prefer warmer water temperatures. Once it reaches about 39.5 degrees you will have better luck. Also, when there is a breeze, cast with the wind. Bass know that food flows with the wind and will be more apt to bite.
