Bass

My all time favorite is to worm fish if all I had to do is bass fish and had endless supply of rubber bait i would be really happy I prefer to run my worms Texas style and on a slow retrieval and the more structure the better . I have been know to fish grass beds in the same manner my patients are usually rewarded by something and as most of us that bass fish will tell you it don't take a big fish to make that heart to pound ,these fish in the spring and summer can be super aggressive and even the small ones can make you think you've caught a whale .
 In water that is a little more open I like to pull crank baits and these can really pay off but i have found that a brand new bait don't always catch. I had bought a shiny silver rattle trap to replace one that i had lost and I fished that thing half the day and didn't get a hit at all i was about to change it but i wanted to use it along the side of a pump station first because my other one would usually pay of there , these are large concrete buildings in the watter and i was casting right against the building with it and I hit the concrete several times and scathed the side of my new trap was all upset that i had made these miss casts and cat out away from the building and that bait caught the rest of the day it was unreal brand new and shiny no luck scratched it caught like crazy I am not saying to by a new bait an trash it out and expect it to catch but natural fish in the water are not all new and shiny they have imperfections and the bass know this they are very smart and the more we fish for them them more educated they get.
