Soft Plastic lures, (which include worms, grubs, deadstiks, Etc), would probably work better in most cases.

But, as you know, fish are "picky". Sometimes, Hard-baits,(Rapalas, Yozuris, Etc), Spinnerbait's, Topwaters, Etc can/will out-produce soft plastics. It all depends on the mood of the fish.

If I had to pick a general "pattern" to start with, in most situations it would be:

1. Throw 1/8-1/4 OZ spinnerbaits until you find a concentration of Bass.

2. Once you find some #'s of fish, SLOW down and THEN fish the area with your soft plastic lures, (worms Etc.)

Hope this helps ya out? Good luck!

With the help lures, hiding fish are also attracted out of their hidings becoming an easier prey. This is done by casting and retrieving the lures progressively, and such movements make the lures appear to be swimming. The lure often reflects light contributing to attracting the fish even further.

Several categories describe bass fishing lures according to the manufacturing concept and the purpose they serve. The jig as a first mention consists of a lead hook with a sharp tip onto which artificial or natural bait is placed. The bait is shaped in a such a way so as to imitate a worm, a craw-fish or a minnow. Another category consists of the surface fishing lures that got their names because they are lighter than the jigs and therefore meant to float on the water and look like surface prey. The spoon lures are also for surface fishing; their shiny thin surface attracts the attention of the fish that mistake them for spawn.

Another category is that of plugs or crank-baits; these fishing lures allow rapid back and forth motion like that of small fish prey. In the popular group of artificial baits, bass worms and flies are extensively used.

As for popularity, bass fishing lures have been with human beings since the beginnings of history. What has changed about them is that today they have become artificial; they are made of plastic, wood, metal, rubber or cork. In a way, the decreased use of smaller fish species as baits poses no longer a threat for the survival of such small-sized specimens; consequently, the food chain will remain unaltered if regular living baits are used restrictively.

Last but not least, with recreational fishing, caught and released largemouth bass fish have better chances of survival if artificial fishing lures are used. The hooks that today’s fishing lures are provided with are not very dangerous for the fish and do not impale the mouth as deep as the old type hooks used to. Therefore, more and more fish live after being released by amateur anglers.

Bass fishing is a wonderful sport to get involved in, and you can have great success with your bass fishing by making yourself educated and learning some helpful tips and techniques. One of the best beginner’s tips is to avoid buying a boat until you have actually learned how to fish and have decided that you want to make fishing a serious part of your life. As a beginner it would be best to rent a boat to use during your first several fishing trips.

There are also many bass clubs available that you can join which allow you to be able to fish out of the back of someone else’s boat and just share the expenses for the day.

Choosing your Equipment

The first major step you should take in bass fishing is to choose your equipment. The first piece of equipment that you should be concerned with is your rod. Fishing rods come in a large variety of different lengths, sizes and weights, but you don’t need to be intimidated by all this or the price tag when you go to purchase your first rod and reel.

The line that you choose for your bass fishing is also going to be very important here. It should be relatively inexpensive if you are a beginner because you are sure to make many mistakes early on. Once you have a rod and reel you will want to move on to selecting a few bass fishing lures.

There are a couple types of lures in particular, that work well for bass fishing. You can get working baits to help you hook one during the summer months when the bass go to the deeper waters to avoid the heat. However, it is best during regular bass fishing to use a prop bait, especially if there is a bit of wind to help you work with it, it is also a great way to practice with your lures on speed and power.

Popper baits are some of the most popular, especially with beginner anglers. Popper bait is easy to use because you just cast it out, let it rest a short while and then pull to pop it back. After experimenting awhile on the amount of drop noise, you can learn to make smaller plugs with less noise, then work on the pause between each twitch of the wrist, then you will be sure to begin catching the bass of your dreams.

Bass fishing can be an incredibly rewarding hobby, one that you will really enjoy, and it is a sport that comes with a truly fascinating history. Bass fishing is known to go back as early as the 18th century and many people today consider it one of the best outdoor sports in the world.
