Name something more infuriating than getting your fishing hook stuck on something other than a bass. I’ll wait. Florida ponds are FILLED will bass….and roots. Many people are interested in fishing but lack the knowledge to get started. Whether male or female, here is your guide to catching a bass like a boss:
Conditions
The weather plays a crucial role on whether you will catch something other than a stick. It is important to go during spring and summer if you’re looking to catch bass. The colder the weather, the less active the fish are, and therefore less willing to bite.
Senior Jacob G. is a frequent fisherman who said, “Many people forget that the weather plays such an important role when fishing. Whether it’s rainy, sunny, cloudy, or chilly, it all means something and affects the odds of you catching anything”.
Supplies
The key supplies you need for fresh water bass fishing include: fishing pole, bait, weights, and pliers. Bait can be live, like worms, or fake, like imitation plastic worms. The weights help you cast farther and utilize the position of the fish. The pliers are used to remove the hook if it’s stuck or if you are hesitant to touch the fish.
How To
After you tie the hook, attach a weight, and place your bait, you are ready to fish. You first need to place your pointer finger on the bottom of the line, then open the bail, and then launch your bait. It is important to not release your finger from the line until the tip of your rod is positioned over the water. If you fail to do so, your bait will most likely end up in a tree or on top of your head.
Senior Taylor R. is still learning, she said, “The first few times I casted, I let go of my line too fast. The hook ended up in my hair, on the ground, and in a tree. I’m still learning, but the support from my peers is pushing me to continue”.
Whether a beginner, a pro, or a person of interest, fishing is a relaxing and rewarding experience that everyone should try at least once. Never be afraid to ask for guidance and appreciate the little wins.
