Bass are the most popular game fish in the United States and a
preferred catch for Joe Palermo of Lake Charles. When fishing for bass,
there are many techniques that have become successful for all levels of angler. The following tips and techniques will help others who hope to
land a large or small mouth bass.
- The use of crankbaits is arguably the most popular technique for bass fishing in the country. Bass respond to a crankbait out of reflex as the style of bait and presentation of the lure teases the bass to respond. Crankbaits work well near solid objects, such as rocks and docks in the water. The crankbait is alluring to the bass because of its erratic movement. The angler will cast the lure and let it sink to the bottom. They will then use a repetition of fast reeling and waiting which has the crankbait move upward in a manner that is not ignorable by the bass.
- Spinnerbaits, or simply spinners, are another technique and lure that most bass are highly attracted to any time of the year. These lures are shaped differently from their traditional counterparts, and can present a challenge for new anglers. The spinning action of the lure as it is reeled in attracts the bass but the shape is more difficult to bite. The good news is that once a bass hooks itself onto a spinner, it is nearly impossible to come loose. These are two of the techniques Joe Palermo Lake Charles uses to catch bass.
