Study a topographical map to locate a well-structured area or underwater spots hospitable to bass.
-
Step 2
Talk to a ranger or lake manager about locations of man-made cover such as added underwater tree or rock shelters.
-
Step 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.

Fish during major feeding times for bass, such as early morning or late evening.

Step 5
In weedy or mossy areas, use a weedless hook setup and work down into the weeds.

on 8/8/2006 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.

on 7/18/2006 I have had most of my luck by the shoreline. I used and 6 inch Burkley work and caught a 6 and a 5 pounder. Just throw it in and as you reel it in jig it like a jig to get a good action! Hope this helps.

on 6/30/2006 In the summertime, use a Senko worm (4 inches). I have caught many bass on this bait. I prefer to match the color of the water and weeds. Bass love this bait. Happy fishing everyone.
