Baits That Trigger Reaction Bites | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Baits That Trigger Reaction Bites | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The next time you’re headed to the lake, think about how you plan to catch those fish. I say that because most anglers think about choosing irresistible lures that will entice bass into striking. However, I think anglers should focus more attention on a fish’s natural reaction, especially on those tough days when weather fronts have taken the edge off their aggressiveness or when the fish are getting a lot of angling pressure."

Establishing A Pattern | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Establishing A Pattern | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Often mentioned, but rarely explained, "establishing a pattern" is a goal of every serious bass angler. While the term pattern would seem to suggest some visible cues that lead the angler to narrow his or her approach to catching, I find that many of the pros, with years of experience, appear to skip steps, or make assumptions that newcomers just can't.
    The following includes some thoughts on the matter. "

Keeping Senkos Simple | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Since joining the Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits Pro Team in 2003, I have been asked literally hundreds of questions about our various product lines. One question however seems to outnumber the rest by a 20-to-1 margin. That question is "How do you fish a Senko?" If I had to guess, I would say Senkos are probably one of the most misused baits in the fishing industry. The good thing is they still catch fish even when used wrong (if that makes any sense)."

The Best Bait for Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Best Bait for Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The bait enters the water with laser like precision. Slowly it descends through the labyrinth of thick cover. Then it happens, you feel a little tap followed by pressure on the line. You reel down to take up the slack and "BOOM" an underwater World War III erupts. The feeling I get from catching a big bass on a jig is absolutely intense. I just don't know how such a strange looking bait can produce big limits time and again. The truth is I don't really care as long as it never stops working."

Cranking Up Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Cranking Up Big Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Without question, one of the most productive tools in any angler's arsenal is the crankbait. From the deep diving, to the lipless styles, crankbaits can produce huge limits in a variety of conditions.
   Contrary to the misconception, that crankbaits are "do nothing" or simply "cast and crank" lures, the manner in which these baits are retrieved greatly affects their productivity level."

It’s very easy to look at these two lures and assume they do the same thing underwater. I’m not even sure how long I fished these baits the wrong way when I first started out. And for that reason, I didn’t like them. I would toss one out and wind it back in assuming it was doing the same thing as any other crankbait in my box. I might’ve caught one here and there, but it wasn’t until I learned the true purpose of the bait, that I started catching fish more regularly"

   Unquestionably, a constant bombardment of lures and steady boat traffic can quickly ruin a hungry bass’s appetite.  Tournament anglers deal with this problem regularly.  It is perhaps more severe in the Midwest and Northeast, where bass-fishing waters are not as numerous, and a small lake quickly attracts many anglers."

One thing most anglers do know is that changing weather most definitely changes fishing success. The first cold fronts that hit in the early fall start cooling the water temperature. This usually gets the fish in a feeding mode. These fronts are usually mild and don't drop the air temperature much. Baitfish will start moving back into the backs of the creeks as the water cools."
