Your Questions About Best Bait For Bass Fishing
Ruth asks…
what is the best bait and technique for bass fishing? I live near a very large lake and I wanted to go bass fishing this summer, but I don’t know what the best lures or plastic bait are the best. I also don’t know, when using plastic bait or lures, what the best technique is. Can anyone Help me?
LMBassFish answers: Not trying to pry, but the question seems that you are a beginner fisherman. Nothing wrong with that, everone needs to learn to fish. Best sport in the world. If that is so then don’t try to get too complex with your lures and techniques too quickly. Start simple. Beetle spins are an easy lure to use. They are also a very inexpensive lure to use. 3? broke back minnows are a great all around crank bait. If you like spinner baits, get you a smaller sized spinner, or buzz bait, with willow blades. Try not to do a whole lot of finese fishing with worms or other plastic baits. Start out with buzz baits or crank baits. I hope that helps a little good luck and good fishin

How do you bass fish with soft plastic lures? I am no stranger to bass fishing, however I have NEVER fished with soft plastics and it’s kicking my butt in tournaments this time of year. All my experience is on hardbaits like: crank baits, spinners, popper, etc. I have an idea on how to rig the soft plastics (Texas, and Carolina anyway) but what do I do with it once it hits the water? How do I know there’s a fish on the line? Lastly what colors and lures are good under what conditions? Thanks
LMBassFish answers: There are a ton of resources on this subject, here are 3 that list everything out for you: http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/soft_plastics.html http://www.fishin.com/articles/tennesseebassguides/plastics.htm http://www.bigfishtackle.com/articles/fishing/freshwater/steve_vonbrandt_004.html HTH -Paro

What bait should i use for bass fishing in a large river? I like to fish but im not sure what bait is best to use for bass. Whee i fish at is medium depth and the water is dark what should i use thanks!
LMBassFish answers: I think how quick the waters flowing will make a difference what bait you use.if its a slow river with lots of trees in/near the water then for sure use the worms and senko’s mentioned above.if its a litlle quicker on the flow i would use crankbaits and some spinnerbaits (heavier the better) in the brighter colors such as white and chartreuse.baits that will dive down in current are your best bets and as always live baits will almost always work the best.with live baits such as worms try to adjust the weight to let them kinda drift with the current for best results.

What size fishing rod do you prefer? If you like crank baiting best in bass fishing then tell me what length you like the rod to be then, or if you like jigging for walleye, etc. Whatever you like best, what size rod do you use for it? I normally like a 6 foot rod for almost any fishing. Sometimes a 6’6 for drop-shotting in bass fishing but, overall for everything i would like a 6 foot rod. How about you? I normally use a 5’6 rod panfishing.
LMBassFish answers: 7? (and UP) one-piece rods are very “hot” right now in the pro Bass/Walleye realm. Personally, I try to get a rod (either for Walleye or Bass) in the 6’6?-7? size. And for Flippin/Pitchin a 7? 6?- 8? is standard. Believe it or not, you can get an extra 20FT with a foot difference in a rod. Everyone wants to be able to cast farther.

James asks…
what lures should i use for bass fishing? i’ve been bass fishing for a couple years in neighborhood ponds in golf courses and i’ve gotten decent. i recently moved to southern italy and the bass are acting completely different. im a huge fan of crank baits but i think i need to change it up. any suggestions.
LMBassFish answers: Crankbaits are great when bass are energetic and feeding heavily. This usually occurs when the water temp is in the high 60?s to mid 70?s, or right before a cold front moves in. Bass can sense when the weather is about to change for the worse, and will start feeding to store fat since their next meal may be days away. Spinnerbaits are also great lures for these types of occasions. Although, due to the spinnerbait’s versatility, they can be used pretty much year round. Topwater lures, such as hollow body frogs and walking baits are best used in early morning or late evening. When the hot summer starts rolling in, and the water temps start getting into the high 70?s and above, bass become less active (especially the big hogs) and more selective of their meals. During these times, the best baits to use are jigs or other finesse baits like a texas rig or shaky head rig. Bass aren’t going to do a lot of chasing for their meals

at these times, and have the ability to sense if a meal will nutritionally be worth the amount of energy they’d have to expend to catch it. So, what you want is baits that you can drop in quietly, close to where the fish are sitting, and work it slowly back to you. This will generally make a rather enticing meal opportunity for lazy fish.
