bass fishing east texas
Beginner Bass Fisher?
I live in central to east texas. I have not bass fished in over 12 years because of my lack of time due to military service.
I went to the store to grab some lures, and its extremely overwhelming to see thousands of lures, and not know which one, and what accessories to buy.
I am confused as to how to set up my rod for Bass in these different areas:
1. fishing from shore, Clear day, little to know wind, medium to dark water, with weeds and brush less then a foot underwater,
2. fishing from shore, darker day, medium to high wind, medium to dark water, with weeds and brush less than a foot underwater
Thanks for ya’lls help
I’m no expert but here are some things that better fishermen than I have always said:
Early mornings, after rains, and late evenings usually are good times to fish. Fish tend to be lazy (like us), they look out for their own comfort a lot (like to rest in the shade), and eat (strike) only when they really need to or when they feel their territory is being invaded. They usually go for easy meals.
So don’t pull your bait in too quickly.
Fishing from shore, (for both of your examples) I would use a long pole and plenty of line. If your body of water has a dock (for boats) that is a good shady area for fish to rest underneath. Try to cast as far into the deeper water as you can and then pull your bait back in a way that simulates a wounded or injured minnow in its presentation. Use something shiny as bait as it is more easier seen by the fish.
Something with natural “movement” also helps entice the fish into striking it. Other colors, types would need to be delivered more close to the fish for them to be noticed, or wouldn’t provoke a strike as they didn’t believe the lure to be an actual meal. I hope it helps. Good Luck!
