Bass Fishing Cape Cod MA Tips For Beginners

By Robert King


Bass fishing is judged by the size and weight of the fish that the player reeled in; not by the quantity of fishes caught in a given time. A game official will weigh each entry, and the player with the heaviest fish caught will be declared as the winner. Like any other fishing sport, the fish is thrown back in the water after some snapshots and after it has been weighed. If this sport interests you, here are some bass Fishing Cape Cod MA tips for beginners that could help you to be on the top of your game.

Tip #1 Do your homework For you to successfully catch a Bass, you must know which lives where and what eats what. You have to research to know the different types of bass so you can plan ahead. Also, knowing how your target bass species specifics, will put you on a great advantage.

Steady winds send the baitfish nearer to the shore. It stands to reason the bass and other fish will want to follow the baitfish. However, when the winds get higher, bass are driven more towards the deep water. A Carolina rig or a jig is what I tend to fish in these conditions.

Tip #2 Choose the right spot It is very important to choose the right spot if you wish to excel in this sport. Since Bass prefers cooler waters, drop your line in tree-covered areas. Also, fallen branches from these trees become home to small fishes and crustaceans which are the bass's favorite dinner.

I like to read every hunting tip I can find and file it in my memory. If the hunting is slow, I dig into this repertoire of tips and see what else might work. I like to also try different baits. We fished a small stream for two years and, although you could see large carp, we could never get them to bite on anything. I grabbed a couple of shrimp fries one morning and had a large carp within 5 minutes. Next day the same thing happened to my grandson. Never be afraid to experiment.

Trout Hunting Tip #5: Your Bait Should Look Natural - As far as the fish species is concerned, trout are very smart. It does not matter what bait you decide to use, especially live bait; it should appear to the fish to be usual, not out of place. A trout hunting tip among anglers is to use gang hooks to present the bait in the most natural way possible.

Tip #4 Use the right equipment. A flexible and strong rod is needed. Lastly, you need a hunting line. Hunting lines come in different colors. It depends on which you are most comfortable using. A good hunting line disappears in the water, so the fish won't be able to see it, but visible above water so you know where your line is. Hunting is a sport where both men and women are hooked into, but Bass hunting raises the sport to another level because a bass fish will surely put up a fight.

Summer is the most difficult time of year to fish. The fish have moved into deeper cooler water; however they prefer to be out in the sun, try fishing in the middle of the day. Use fast moving bait this time of year such as deep-diving crank bait. When fall arrives it brings with it some of the best Bass fishing, they have grouped into large schools and are more likely to try your bait.
