Bass

Bass is a general term used to describe a variety of similar fish species.The tips on this page are guided towards the most popular species among fisherman, the Large mouth bass.

Large mouth bass are one of the most popular game fish in North America.They are a species of black bass and considered to be an apex predator but they can be preyed upon by other fish and animals when a juvenile. Largemouth bass have a very distinct appearance, they are olive green with dark strip in a jagged strip that is horizontal along each flank. They can live up to 16 years in the wild, reaching a maximum recorded length of 29.5 inches and a weight of 22 pounds. Their diet consists of bait fish, crawfish, frogs, insects, scuds, shrimp, small fish and snakes. They catch and eat prey that can be as large as 25 to 50% of their body length.



Best Baits

Spinnerbaits:
A good all-around spinnerbait. A half-ounce is a whole lot easier to work than a smaller or larger size. You can fish it fairly deep, run it through cover, like brush and grass, or wake it just under the surface.

Crankbaits:
A half-ounce Rat-L-Trap is the most versatile crankbait. You can run it across the top of grass, cover open water, bring it through docks or across laydowns. You can cover the water column from one to fifteen feet—if you’re patient enough.


Carolina Rig Weights:

The novice angler should use a 
C-rig that consists of a 1⁄2-ounce sinker with a small glass bead, a swivel and a 3/0 hook. A half-ounce Carolina-rig weight is a size that covers a lot of situations.
