10 Bass Fishing Secrets from Professional Anglers

1. Spare Shredded Worms

At the point when your plastic worms get destroyed, spare them. Bass like to snare injured prey, so a
beat-up worm is impeccable to utilize, particularly in shallow water.

- Anthony Gagliardi, 2006 FLW Tour Land O'Lakes Angler of the Year

2. Red Fools the Fish

In shallow spread—wood, stumps, bunches of grass—I like to utilize a spinner trap with a red or pink
head, and a wrench snare with red snares. The red makes the fish think the snare's harmed, and they'll
chomp at it.

- George Cochran, 2005 Wal-Mart FLW Tour Championship victor

3. Avoid Your Bait

At the point when you cast, stop most of the way as opposed to finishing, like a check swing in baseball.
This makes the bait hit the outside of the water a couple of feet before your objective, so the draw
skitters over the water. It's a decent method to get under docks and different structures.

- Mike Iaconelli, 2004 CITGO Bassmaster Classic boss

4. Keep Your Hooks Sharp

I utilize a document to hone my snares each time I get a fish and before each outing. It takes 30 seconds.
Bass have boney jaws, so a sharp snare is more adept to infiltrate the fish.

5. Take a gander at Your Livewell Water

At the point when you put a bass in the livewell, they're famous for throwing up what they were
benefiting from. From that point you can determine what shading bait or sort of draw to toss the
remainder of the day.

6. Face the Wind

Penance some separation in your projects and fish with the breeze in your face. Bass consistently swim
with the current, so it's better for them to discover your trap before they discover your pontoon. Also,
the clamor of water slapping your body will divert from the spot you're fishing, which is acceptable.

- Ish Monroe, victor of the 2006 Battle on the Border

7. Fish Shallow in the Spring

In the spring bass hang out in producing beds. Focus on shallow regions, particularly in pockets and
inlets shielded from the breeze since this is the place they like to monitor their eggs. They'll chomp as
much out of disturbance with the bait as they will out of yearning.

- Jay Yelas, 2003 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

8. Make Your Bait Seasonal

Bass eat diverse trap contingent upon the season. The overall guideline is right off the bat in the year
they like crayfish, so use peach-shaded examples. In the late spring and fall they like shad, so use
chrome or silver lures.

- Mike Hawkes, 2006 Wal-Mart FLW Series occasion champ, Lake Cumberland

9. Fish before the tempest

The best an ideal opportunity to fish bass is before a front comes through, and the most noticeably
awful an ideal opportunity to fish them is after. The weight makes the bass more dynamic, so watch for
a mass of mists moving in. At the point when it's excessively entirely out, bass aren't probably going to
nibble.

- Forrest L. Wood, Ranger Boats originator and namesake of FLW Outdoors

10. Bug Those Bass

Bass is a disagreeable fish. You need to continue tapping at it to disturb it into gnawing your snare. Bass
position themselves in spread, and like the bait introduced to them at various edges. I've thrown baits a
hundred times onto a similar area until at long last getting a nibble.
