Bass fishing techniques are wide and varied, and many pro anglers put their own spin on the classics to make them even more deadly.  A good angler has an arsenal of techniques, and can quickly examine the fishing conditions and decide which lures to implement for maximum success. 

Learning the many different bass fishing techniques will not only make you a better fisherman, it will increase the enjoyment you get from fishing for these feisty sport fish.  There are numerous methods that can be extremely effective in landing you the biggest bass you’ve ever caught.

Here are 3 little known bass fishing techniques that the pros have kept to themselves:

1. Top To Bottom (aka “Search and Destroy”)

When employing the “top to bottom” technique, you’ll break the water into 3 depths.  Surface to 3 feet below, 3 feet below to 8 feet below, and 8 feet to bottom.

Each depth, or layer, gets fished with a plastic worm until you get a strike.  Once you get a strike, you stay with that layer and begin to try new lures and rigs until you find one that is getting lots of action. 

You’ll stay in that “layer”, with that rig, until you have no action for 60 minutes.   You then repeat the process, finding the “hot layer” once again. This technique is extremely effective.  In effect, you’ve become a “human fishfinder”!

2. Going Deep

This technique is all about fishing deep areas that other fishermen seldom touch.  It’s fished with a Carolina Rig.  A Carolina Rig consists of a heavy weight, followed by a swivel leader and a Texas rigged soft bait.

The fisherman casts into areas where there are rock beds, dock pylons, and other underwater structure, letting the weight sink to the bottom.  The rig is retrieved in a slow, twitching fashion. 

This gives the appearance of a worm or other bottom feeder slowly inching it’s way along the lake floor.  Bass that are hanging low will be attracted to the motion and hit hard.

3. The Floating Spoon

This is a one of the least known, yet most effective bass fishing techniques I have ever had the pleasure of using.  The ideal conditions are fairly clear to very clear water and water temperatures below 50 degrees.

The rig consists of a bobber followed by 6-8 feet of line and a lure of choice.  Personally, I think big, colorful crankbaits or flashy spoons work best. 

When you cast, your lure will sit suspended in the water below your bobber.  This is very effective in lower water temperatures because the bass are very slow and lethargic.

You’ll want to use a very slow retrieval and just let your lure cruise along slowly underwater.  You won’t have to worry about depth, because the bobber will keep it constant.  You’ll be amazed at how many bass you’ll catch with this technique.

Learning a multitude of bass fishing techniques will most definitely produce more bass.  More importantly, you need to know which techniques to employ in different conditions.  Something that works well in warm, cloudy water won’t be necessarily be as effective as in colder, clear water.

3 Bass Fishing Techniques The Pros Donamp#039t Want You To Know About is a post from: Largemouth bass fishing lures - Largemouth Bass fishing lures,bass fishing articles and tips

There is no secret when fishing for big bass. Just simple techniques that will catch you more bass and bigger bass every time you go out no matter what the fishing conditions are like. Hooking a great big old bass is one thing, but actually catching the bass without it breaking your line or getting loose is a totally different story. Bass are famous for having a bad temper they often strike or feed on something that is annoying to them. They are a very aggressive fish and 80% of the time that they strike your lure it is a reaction, the other 20% is actually hunger! So in other words if you piss them off you will get a strike. When fishing for bass try to use something that is an attention grabber. My personal favorite when fishing for big bass in new lakes is a big old multi – colored spinner bait. The spinner bait is a very effective bass fishing tool it grabs the bass attention and entices them to strike on reaction and not hunger leaving you with a more active fish and often a much bigger bass as opposed to live bait fishing.

Imagine… You are in the perfect fishing hole, with more than ideal conditions. The water color, temperature, wind, cover and structures surrounding you… just too perfect for the Largemouth Bass. You examine the surrounding area quietly, and observe underwater logs, rocks and weed growth along the banks. He’s nearby. He has to be, this is my chance, it’s perfect. You have no doubt that the 14 pound Trophy Bass that you have been searching for is within your reach. Yet, cast after cast, you just can’t seem to get a strike.  What would you do? Consider it a bad day and move on? Guess what… You probably just lost your Trophy Bass.
