A bass fishing guide will tell ya that moving lures are more effective than static lures. Once you are familiar with the characteristics of your lures, you can tweak them until you get the right results. The season and the time of the year may require you to modify your lures. Here are some helpful tips. Here's a list of popular lures you can use.
Topwater lures
Water temperature is the most important factor when searching for topwater fishing lures to catch bass. Warmer water can increase a topwater's bite by attracting bass that are cold-blooded. Warmer water allows bass to more easily consume a topwater lure. Bass also prefer cooler temperatures to feed, so the timing of topwater lure use will depend on weather conditions.
Jigs
Be aware of the weight when using a Jig as a fishing lure. Weight will be determined by tides, tides, and tidal currents. Your jig should be the right size for the depth you are fishing. Also, make sure your jig is set up to suit the water's temperature.
Spinnerbaits
Spinnerbaits can be used as a bait to guide bass fish. Older anglers know how effective spinnerbaits can be and how exciting they can make fishing. While they may not always be the most exciting fishing lures, spinnerbaits can be effective for catching bass in almost every type of water. Here are some useful tips for using spinnerbaits in your bass guide.
Crankbaits
Crankbaits are great for bass fishing. Crankbaits resemble crawfishes and will work best when fish can see them. Choose colors that mimic crawfish, or fish in the same season as your crankbait. For example, bass like to eat crawfish, bluegill, and shad during the spring. Pick a color that corresponds to the season and a brightness that is consistent with the water's clarity.
Floating minnows
Fishing lures such as floating minnows are a great choice for walleye, trout and bass fishing. They are effective in shallow areas, and create a flash and vibration upon being reeled. Floating minnows also work well in lakes, where baitfish may be suspended high in their water column. As a bass guide, you can use a floating minnow to catch fish at any time of day or night.
Jigs with chartreuse or yellow skirts
You can fish with Jigs with yellow or chartreuse skits if you are looking for a guide for bass fishing. These colors work well on both bottom and topwater. These jigs are great for fishing in murky waters or areas with dense vegetation. The green pumpkin is a deadly imitation and bluegill is a popular meal. This jig works in any water color and imitates bluegill's tail.
Jigs with a transparent lip
For many reasons, jigs that have a transparent lip are effective. One reason is that the transparent lip allows bass to see the hooks better. A transparent lip makes it ideal for fishing areas with limited cover. These jigs are marked with small wire hooked hooks so that they can be cast on sloping banks. They are visible and can be used in clear, cold water.
Jigs featuring a "fire Tiger" pattern
Fire tiger patterns signify sunfish or yellow perch. These patterns enhance visibility in dense and stained water. These patterns are also great for spring and fall fish that are active in spring or autumn. These jigs can be fished using white twintail trailers. To find the best fire Tiger pattern, pick one that looks like fish. Next, use the instructions below to decide which jigs are best for you.
