Your Bass Fishing Tip Of The Day Is
Topwater Bass Baits are among the most exciting bass baits you can fish with. Topwater bass fishing baits are often very productive and can sometimes out-fish other techniques.
Locate submerged vegetation like milfoil and hydrilla, and you shall find bass. Bulrush and cattails which grow above surface also produce loads of
LMB.
Examples of waters where tall grass abounds include Florida lakes such as Okeechobee, natural northern lakes such as Champlain, and the California and Louisiana deltas.
Bass will spawn on the roots of bulrush and cattails when the bottom near this cover is soft and silty. If the stalks stand in water 2 feet or deeper, bass also feel at home in the tall grass in the summer and fall, It provides ideal cover for ambushing baitfish, crawfish, frogs and the occasional blackbird or baby duck.

Propbaits used for bass fishing create a disturbance when jerked slightly. They work best when the water temperature is above 60 degrees. Work close to cover on heavy tackle or off long points on drop-offs on lighter tackle.
Downriggers are used by serious anglers, from the West Coast, to the Great Lakes, and more recently on the inland lakes, reservoirs and rivers. While salmon and lake trout may be the traditional targets of downrigger fishing, almost any fish that swims in deep water can be caught with a
downrigger. Whenever it is important to manage the depth at which a lure is running, and to keep it there indefinitely, downriggers are the answer.

Fishing for Bass from shore is nothing new to me! In fact, that is where most of my learning and experimenting took place. Whether it's a local pond, river, reservoir or large inland lake you can find Bass.
Being adventurous and constantly on the move is essential to success. However, knowing the right time to be out there is key too. SMB, for example will be present at a casting distance provided the temperature of the water is cool enough. If I was shore fishing 5 feet of water in the middle of the summer, with out weeds present, then that would be a waste of time, in my opinion! Now, if this shoreline is riddled with weeds and stumps I would be there with bells on, fishing for Largemouth. A fast sloping shore line with somewhat deep water would hold better numbers of Smallmouth would it not? That is a characteristic I would look for from a boat, so why would it be any different from shore!
A good shore Bass angler will know full well that evenings and early mornings are the best times for success. The middle of the day would be okay if an angler had access to stump or weed 'infested' bays or shorelines. This type of terrain is easily accessible in an old quarry or trout farm. If you take the time to look for such gems, they can be found. You will find that when catch and release is practiced land owners will allow the Bass anglers to fish their ponds. Be honest and up front with them and you will have your gem!
You can also have success from shore in most large inland lakes. Maps will aid you in finding accessible bays or drop offs. Rivers entering the large lakes will hold both Bass species as well, especially if it is slow moving, deep and full of weed growth. Adventuring along the river's edge is rewarding to the anglers that know what to look for. It can be paradise!
Reservoirs too are a Bass anglers dream! Being fortunate enough to have grown up just a bike ride away from the nearest reservoir was heaven for me. That is where I have some of my fondest memories.
Ontario is blessed with many reservoirs and most are just a short drive away. Be prepared to travel on foot for your Bass. Good things come to shore anglers who explore!

The weather across the United States has been wet, from the mid-west all the way to the northeast. May and June of 2008
will was no doubt be record breakers on rain fall.
Bass fishing can be outstanding when the water line floods into the bushes. Getting topwater bites around the brush can be exciting. Throwing spinnerbaits around the windy banks that are flooded can produce vicious strikes. And if there’s no wind, flipping soft plastics into the brush is a whole lot of fun.
