Bass Fishing With Stickworms
Filed under: Bass Fishing — mike @ 12:03 pm
Stickworms like Senkos, Gulp Sinking Minnow and Yum Dinger are bass
producing lures on their own but here’s a way to make them even
better when fishing weeds. Usually you fish a stickworm without
any weight and Texas rig it in the middle so both ends of the worm
is dangling and shake the rod tip so the worm wiggles every once in
a while.
When fishing weeds, the lure will get tangled in them and attach
themselves. Besides, sometimes you want the lure not to go all the
way to the bottom when the fish are suspended and hard to catch.
Here is where to start the process, first find out where the weed
bed is located, the start of it, the end of it and the edge of it.
Once you locate the weedbed, put a slip bobber on your line like a
cigar float as most know them. Add two feet of leader then add
your stickworm Texas Style on a 1/0 hook. On sunny days you might
have to increase the leader length.
Here’s a key element in all this, you need a breeze. Why? Well,
because we are going to cast the bobber and lure and let it drift
over the weedbeds. Ok, the bobber will jiggle up and down and
make the lure jiggle too as it drifts across the beds. Watch your
line and bobber, sometimes the strike is so subtle that you barely
notice it and other times the bass will attack it and about jerk
the rod out of your hands. I have also used this technique with
another floating lure instead of a bobber but the bobber makes it
easy to adjust the line depth according to the weedbeds you’re
fishing.
This technique is great for clear water and water that is over
fished. You are out of sight of the fish and the only thing they
see is the lure and perhaps the bobber sometimes.
Learn About Largemouth Bass Fishing
Filed under: Bass Fishing — mike @ 10:19 am
Big fresh-water tacklebuster is a favorite of anglers because of his savagery when he attacks a lure, and because of his head-shaking, leaping battle when hooked.
Due to transplanting, he now can be found in ponds, lakes and rivers throughout the United States, and even in Canada, Mexico, Germany, Spain, France and Africa. His general color is greenish-bronze on the back, a lighter green on the sides, and yellow-white on the belly.
Fishing Guides Tip 1
A line of black marks extends along each of his sides from jaw to tail, giving him the name “Linesides.”
An easy way to distinguish him from his close relative, the Smallmouth Black Bass, is by the joint of his closed jaw which lies to the rear of his eye, while in the Smallmouth it is directly below the eye.
The Largemouth averages 2 pounds in Northern waters, 8 pounds down South. The world record is 22 pounds, 4 ounces.

Bass Fishing In Late Fall
Filed under: Bass Fishing — mike @ 10:02 am
When late fall comes around most anglers slow down on their fishing. Yes, the catch may be slower but you have to remember one thing…..the last thing a bass wants to do in the late fall is go deep, even with a cold front as long as their plenty of shallow cover. Wood is an excellent place for bass in the late fall, especially submerged and laydown trees.
Jigs, spinnerbaits, small crankbaits like the Little N, all are good lures to use at this time of year. Fishing pockets is also very productive this time of year. Remember to fish a spinnerbait lengthways down a submerged tree and lead the lure using your rod so it bumps off of big limbs from the tree.
Try using SuspenDots on the crankbaits to catch those suspended fish. Fish the trees by points and coves. Fish slower and don’t run from spot to spot but fish an area thoroughly. If you can fish trees submerged where one end is in about 7-9 feet of water, make sure you fish it.
Try deadsticking a Senko, I have had a lot of luck in late fall with this method, fish it slow and let it set for a little longer than you think you should.
Overall, the best I have done is with a little crankbait with a SuspenDot and fishing submerged trees on a point in fairly shallow water. Just because the temperature is lower doesn’t mean you can’t have a good day of fishing even if you have a cold front to
go along with it.
