It really does not matter what type of lure a person uses, without the
right bass fishing techniques it will simply end up as a practice
session for casting. Jigs, spinners and crank baits have all be
successful in pulling in trophy bass, but there are many times when
two anglers, using the same bait and fishing in the same boat will
have opposite success. The one who has no idea about the bass fishing
techniques will usually go home empty handed.

The main problem with understanding the bass fishing techniques is
that they can change from one day to the next and can even change
throughout the day. They will definitely change as the angler moves
position on the water as the contours of the lake bottom changes,
giving the fish a different outlook on where they plan to eat. A
difference of a few feet on the surface can determine if the bass
fishing techniques being used will meet with success.

Many new anglers believe that all fish are basically stupid and when
any species gets really hungry they may demonstrate a true lack of
judgment. However, it is the older, wiser and much larger fish that
can be caught by knowing the bass fishing techniques needed during a
particular situation.

Know When To Pull And When To Drop

Observing the bass as they feed is the best way to determine the type
of lure to use and how to use it. For example, if fishing in shallows,
less than four-feet deep and there is a constant array of ripples
indicating the bass are searching for insects on the surface, logical
bass fishing techniques call for a popper or a floating lure. However,
if the angler where to drop a slow-sinking artificial worm on the
surface, they should not be surprised if they get a hard strike.

When using plastic worms, thread the hook further down through the
plastic worm to eliminate the chance of a short-strike resulting in a
damaged worm. Make sure the fish can find the hook if they only gobble
two or three inches of the worm. Using the normal bass fishing
techniques with the adjusted worm usually provide more catches with
the strikes.

Early morning and late afternoon are good times to demonstrate bass
fishing techniques near piers and docks as the fish like to remain in
the shadows, especially during hot summer days. They will be deeper in
the water during the day and rarely coaxed out, but as they head to
their shallower feeding ground, they tend to be more aggressive,
