Baits That You Should NEVER Use For Smallmouth Bass
Lot's of smallmouth Bass Fishing tips for you today...with some real largemouth "gems" thrown in the mix too.Pay special attention to the 1bait I mention that is a complete waste of time for smallmouth, in most situations. All too many guys use it... but there are far better baits and techniques to use for smallies.
But first, get a load of this: Some of these things are complete game changers like:
* A weird looking bomber lure that can catch a 4 to 8 pound bass on almost every cast near grassy banks.(It resembles a small creature every bass is pre-programmed to feed on...even if they aren't native to your area!)
* How to quickly modify any hollow bait so it makes a bass attracting "blurble" sound... and automatically "sits up" when you pause your retrieve -- triggering an instant strike! (He'll also give you his favorite hollow bait for this technique...)
* An emergency bait Ron uses to get a quick hookup after the bite shuts down. (Most guys don't even carry this one in their arsenal... and it'll give you a chance to keep things going during a lull.)
* And hundreds more sneaky old school bass catching secrets!
You won't believe the tricks these guys are using to haul 'em in like clockwork... hand over fist.That being said, let's dig into the tips for this week... A lot of fishing techniques vary in efficiency depending on what type of fish one is aiming for, especially with bass.One bass in particular, the smallmouth bass, can be very picky at times, but careful attention to detail can have the avid and casual fishing enthusiast alike reeling in their limits in no time.
It is pretty much common knowledge that the largemouth bass will eat just about anything that it can, which is for the most part true, but the same isn't necessarily true as much for the smallmouth bass. The smallmouth, while not very picky in its diet, tends to scale things down a bit more and will prefer a few plump bites than many small bites or one really big meal. The smallmouth will still go after insects, but its favorite food is usually the
crawdad, or crayfish.
Smallmouth bass also tend to like deeper and cooler water than largemouth, and the smallmouth will really get active between 40 degrees Fahrenheit and about 65 degrees Fahrenheit. During this time,the smallmouth will feed on the bottom near stronger current, especially near rocks and even man made items such as wooden support structures of bridges that cut the flow.Other than using live crawdad as bait,artificial lures in a wide range of type will suffice for cooler smallmouth fishing, with drop shot rigs, Spinner Baits, and Jerk Baits being especially effective in most scenarios. Other great Live Bait includes big worms and fresh minnows.
