Instructions

1
Study a topographical map to locate a well-structured area or underwater spots hospitable to bass.
-
2
Talk to a ranger or lake manager about locations of man-made cover such as added underwater tree or rock shelters.
-
3
Look in coves and sheltered areas close to the shore for large schools of bait fish. Bass love minnows and sandy spots to nest.
-
4
Fish during major feeding times for bass, such as early morning or late evening.
-
5
In weedy or mossy areas, use a weedless hook setup and work down into the weeds.
-
6
During heavy feeding times, try a top-water lure with lots of movement.

Tips & Warnings
Use a geographical positioning system (GPS) or triangulate your position with landlocked reference points. This will help you find your way back to the exact location where you located the bass.
Keep a diary of the places you caught bass. Bass return to the same areas year after year.

In the spring, when the bass are spawning, catch a little bluegill and use it as bait. Put a treble hook in its lower back before the end of the fin. Throw it out in the water. The splashing of the the little fish will attract the bass. I caught a 22 inch bass doing this.
