Your Questions About Best Time To Fish For Bass
Donald asks‌
Besides salmon or trout, when does fishing start getting really slow again? Besides the spawning season of salmon or trout, I was wondering when more warm-water fishes like bass, catfish, sunfsh, carp, etc. start slowing down in their feeding. Is it in the fall season as the temperature lowers? Also, where do these fish species go when the water temperature cools?
LMBassFish answers: They normally start in reducing there activity in November and December where I live. However, this can vary widely, depending where you live and the temps of the water and surroundings. Basically, when the water temp starts going into the lower 60?s and 50?s, thats when they start slowing down. Also, when the water cools, they go deeper. However, there are always going to be some warmer water species in shallow water, even if its really cold because daytime heating will warm the shallows up. Also , at least in my area, they stock trout in the winter, which even if its cold, will attract bass up to the shallow to feed on the trout. Hope this helps!!

What do you call words that are spelled the same but have different pronunciations? I already know this answer just seeing if others have been paying attention. Such as bass(the fish) and bass(the sound), wind(moving air) and wind(what you do with a watch), close(almost touching) and close(to shut as a door),etc.
LMBassFish answers: You’re referring to homographs. Homographs are words with the same spelling but different pronunciations and meanings (bass the fish/bass the sound, wind, etc.). Heteronyms are the same thing as homographs, actually they are classified as homographs. Homophones are words with different spellings but the same pronunciations (bear/bare, their/they’re/there, etc.).

Homonyms are words with the same spelling and same pronunciation but different meanings (lie – to rest or to tell a fib).

Would next weekend be a good time to go fishing? We live in Kansas City, and we own several large strip pits east of Pleasanton Ks. The temperature is supposed to be around 45 degrees. Will the fish be active in this cool of weather? We mainly fish for bass, perch, and crappie, if that helps. What type of lures work best in the winter? When do freshwater fish start becoming active again after winter? I know it’s in the spring sometime, but how early on?
LMBassFish answers: The fish will still be very slow and not wanting to take a whole lot of baits. For the Bass throw things like 3/4 ounce-1/2 ounce jig combos fished in deeper cover, Texas Rigged worms, Rattle Traps, and deeper diving crankbaits. For your Crappie throw Crappie Jigs with a floater. Start off pretty deep with floater about 3 or so feet up the line and work your way deeper until you find

where they tend to be. Throw it out into some cover, give it a few twitches, pause for a few seconds and repeat all the way in. The fish will start being pretty active when the water gets up in the mid 60?s or so. They will still be somewhat slow but they will be willing to chase down a few more baits rather than you having to throw right on top of them like you do many times this time of year. There’s no set time because of the different temps around the country but as I said when the water hits upwards of the 60 degree mark they will start feeding a bit heavier.

Can you fish with a live feeder mice for bass fishing? Like the ones you get at a pet store ,do you think they would die to quickly? If you can then where would you hook them? and do people actually use live mice to fish for bass.
LMBassFish answers: Years ago a company made small harnesses for mice, rats, frogs, and other small terrestrial

mammals. A big treble hook attached to the harness hung on the stomach section so the bait could move freely. A bass would strike, and easily got hooked. There was a 50/50 chance the bait survived for a second cast. Pardon the pun, but the company went belly up quite a few years ago so the harnesses they made are actually kind of valuable. There is an outfit that still makes similar harnesses. And as a side note, why it f*cked up?? Wouldn’t feeding a LIVE feeder mouse to a snake be just as “cruel” as using one for bait? I think not…

Exactly which fish to avoid during pregnancy? Every thing I have read about no fish during pregnancy mentions shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tile fish, and albacore tuna. Well, here where I live, fish like bass, catfish, salmon, and things like that are more popular than the above mentioned ocean fish. Does anybody know if these are safe?
