...The Secrets to Bass Fishing Fishing and learning how to successfully reel in the biggest bass on your boat is not always easy to do. It is something professionals dedicate their lives to. It is something that the average man can get good at, but it does take effort to learn how. Here are a few tips to help you learn the secrets to bass fishing. Perhaps it will take you to the next level in your fishing techniques. Professional Bass Fishing Secrets Start out simple with the lures when bass fishing as well as a good rod and reel set. For instance, if you want to use a lure, do so, but start out with a worm type lure, maybe throw in a wiggly head on it. Leave all other lures at home because often, more than the lure that you are using, it matters where you are fishing, the conditions of the water, and your technique. Instead of jumping from one lure to another, make sure you practice up with one. From there, you can branch out and try learning a new technique with others. Either way, the fish will come to you, eventually....

...When it comes to choosing a bass fishing lure, it seems to me that realism is the key. Bass fishing lures come it what seems like every shape and size, and the color combinations seem almost endless. It seems as if lure manufacturers have gotten a bit out of hand with all of this, because at the end of the day, the lure that looks the most like what the fishes prey is will work the best. Fishing lures were originally designed to mimic a bait fish (or other food source), with the express purpose of catching a fish. But it seems to me that the original concept has gotten a bit out of hand. If you go into a tackle shop today, there are more bass fishing lure choices available than can be found at a 'build your own' ice cream sundae store....

...My application would not be complete without me sharing my passion of competitive bass fishing. Bass fishing is commonly misrepresented as a recreational activity that is mostly based on luck, but after you spend much time fishing for largemouth bass, you quickly learn otherwise. Over the years fishing has become more and more valuable to me, while at the same time becoming more challenging. Just like most kids my first fishing trip was to a local pond with my grandfather and at a young age I fell in love with the outdoors. My grandfather taught me the basics that were needed to catch my first fish. Little did I know at the time that this was only the beginning of an extensive journey through the world of bass fishing. Fast forward to my...

...Learning How To Catch Post Spawn Bass One of the most difficult times of the year to catch bass is the post spawn period. This is a transition time for the bass and the bass fisherman. The bass are worn out from the rigors of spawning. Some fishermen are worn out too! From catching fish! During the spawning period the bass are somewhat easy to catch. Most of them are in the shallows. This eliminates ninety percent of the water you have to check to find fish. You only have a small number of tactics you have to try before you pattern the fish. The post spawn period is a whole new ballgame. When you go to the shallows to try for those easy fish that were there last week, you will be lucky to have a ten percent success ratio. Most of the...

...we were going to go fishing. We were going to go down to the red barn for the first time and fish in the pond. It was down a windy little path maybe a quarter mile away from my house. We went outside and gathered up all of the fishing gear in the back of our side by side and headed out. Regus, our black laboratory dog, began following us so we decided to let him tag along. It was bound to be a fun adventure, and I could not wait to explore the new area. As we began our first of many trips down the path to the pond, it was a rough ride. It was a very old path, and there were lots of bumps and dents in the ground. I’m guessing the path has been around for more than 100 years. It was fun going down it, don’t get me wrong....

...As an avid shore fisherman who enjoys fishing, I have the unique opportunity to choose between two similar, but two very different, types of fishing. These two types of fishing are fresh water fishing and salt water fishing. With that being said, in the state where I reside, there are two distinct attitudes towards fishing. There are those anglers who prefer fresh water fishing, and there are those anglers who prefer salt water fishing. Both types of fishing ultimately deal with utilizing a fishing pole, fishing line and bait (or a fishing lure) to catch fish. However, in the same way they are similar; in contrast, they are both very much different. In a fresh water lake, the water rises with the amount of rainfall and falls due to evaporation and drainage; on the other hand, ocean the water rises and falls with the lunar tide. Unlike fresh water fishing, where an angler would use “lighter” fishing tackle due to catching smaller fish, salt water fishing requires much “heavier” tackle due to the vast difference in size from fresh water fish to salt water fish. For instance, the State record for a fresh water largemouth bass caught in a lake is 10 pounds 14 ounces; whereas, a Great White shark can weigh more then a car! So as you can see, although fresh water fishing and salt water fishing are similar, in some ways, they are very much different. Works Cited Houch, R. (September 3, 2013). NJ Saltwater Fisherman.

...exactly that. He gave up his passion for someone he had superficial feelings for. In “The Bass, The River and Sheila Mant” by W.D. Wetherell, the narrator later had to make a decision to either choose a shallow feeling for someone or his lifelong passion for fishing. This choice that the narrator made from superficial values led to his regret. In the beginning of the short story, the narrator illustrated a superficial value towards Sheila Mant. He spent most of his time fishing, but the “only thing better than a largemouth bass was Sheila.”(1) The narrator loved to fish whenever he could, it was his passion. He also liked to watch her when she was...

...I am reading “The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant” by W. D. Wetherell and I am on page 6. This book is about a boy and his passion for both fishing and the beautiful Sheila Mant. He struggles between having a pretty girl in his canoe and a massive bass on his rod. He eventually decides to focus on the girl, and in the end, regrets his decision to cut the bass free. In this paper, I will be questioning and connecting. Will the boy choose Sheila or the fish? This is by far the largest fish he has ever encountered, and although he finally managed to get Sheila to go out with him, she isn't interested. Sheila is very pretty. She’s right there in front of him, with a great tan, long legs, and beautiful white dress, thinking fishing is dumb. She comments on fishing, and how she doesn’t have a good reason for thinking the sport is dumb. She might be in his boat, but Sheila keeps talking about Eric Caswell, and topics that he doesn’t...
