Top Water And Surface Bass Fishing Tips

You’ve probably had it drummbed into from the start of your fishing career that what works for one angler or in one place or for one type of fish is not always going to work in every situation.

This is why you need to have a vast array of bass fishing techniques at your dissposal.

As you will find there will come a time that what you would normally do will not get the fish to bite, this is where your backup bass fishing techniques to choose from is going to help you in having a chance of catching some fish.

Topwater, or surface fishing, are one of the bass fishing techniques that some anglers choose and others hate.If your just starting out you may find that it is not the easiest way to fish but can be extremely effective when done right in producing large quantities of bass.

When your using topwater fishing techniques these should be used in areas of heavy cover, as you want to kind of float your bait just on the surface in the shallows near short, right above the top of the grasses and brush.Floating worms make an excellent bait in this application, skimming the surface and disrupting the water just enough to catch the attention of a dormant bass hiding in the brush. Color can make a difference, too, since bass have excellent vision.

Whilst most anglers rely on bright colors, others go for something less garish, such as grape or black and yellow. If the water is a little choppy, you may want to choose a buzzbait, this has the effect of actually annoying the fish.The bait will literally hit a stump or other surface as the water chops causing it to pause,which is the signal to the bass to strike.Other bass fishing techniques can be used to fish shallow waters from just below the surface to about six feet deep.

If you choose to fish in this manner, then you will need to drown the bait.For this Crankbaits work well for this technic ,especially if you pop them and pull them under.Adding a soft plastic jerkbait to something like a Rapala will work as well.Basically, you want the bait to dip under the surface as you steadily retrieve it.This will create the disturbance in the water that bass can “hear” with their earlike apparatus on each lateral side and attract their attention.

If you can float a bait below the surface just above a set of weeds that grows to about 10 inches below the waterline, you’ll have excellent success, since bass love to live in these brush piles and simply wait for an opportunistic strike like the one you are providing. Below six feet, your bass fishing techniques take
on an entirely new dimension, having reached the “magic” eight foot zone.Most of the time, you’ll find this depth to be
more heavily populate with large bass than otherlevels.

They have moved out of the shallows after spawning or back into these areas during the cool of the fall and winter to seek a little bit more warmth than provided by deeper waters.You might try something like a Slider worm on a slider head for incredible results.Really, though, with enough patience to find the area of the lake where the bass are making their habitat, you can use just about anything sizeable enough to attract a larger bass and do well fishing at this depth.

Another great option when bass fishing is to hit the depths of the waters to find mainly dormant and suspended fish, this is more so in the winter months.Today we’re going to talk about a few different techniques you can use to haul in the big bass hand over fist.

One of the techniques in particular uses the Magick 8 Foot Bass Attack Zone to attract instant strikes… and it’s brilliant!
Bass fishing techniques for returning a decent winter catch will vary, depending on the depth of the waters you are fishing, the type of bass you are targeting, and the typical winter weather in your area of the country.

In warmer areas, bass may still be fairly active in the winter and strike at larger, more aggressive baits.

However, in cooler areas with deeper waters and especially smaller fish, you may want to try a small bait in a bright color bounced on the bottom or floated just above some heavy brush or structure in the depths to pique their appetites.
