More Tips on Catching Bass!

Here's another great article about catching BASS! I wonder if Lake Erie has bass this size? The one I caught at Scout Camp isn't as big, but it was sure fun!! Article from:  http://www.berkley-fishing.com/Berkley-ae-dog-days-bassin.html DOG DAYS BASSIN' SUREFIRE TACTICS FOR CATCHING BASS DURING THE HEAT OF SUMMER Sweltering temperatures above the surface don't deter summertime bass from biting. In fact, savvy anglers armed with the right approaches can score stellar catches throughout the dreaded "dog days" of summer. Just ask veteran bassman and Berkley pro Scott Suggs. Hailing from Alexander, Arkansas, Suggs knows plenty about hot weather. But he never lets the heat stop him from catching bass. In fact, back in August of 2007, he conquered scorching conditions to score a million-dollar tournament win at the FLW Forrest Wood Cup on Lake Ouachita.

I would LOVE to catch a big bass like this guy! I found his article at  https://www.mepps.com/mepps-tactics/article/fishing-bass/20 and think it has a lot of good information about fishing for bass.

I caught the fishing bug at scout camp this year. Since then I have been slowly buying all my own fishing gear. I looked up some information on how to catch a bass from boatinglife.com and got some good ideas for the next time I get to go fishing. It is my dream to one day learn how to fly fish in Montana with my mom's cousin at https://missoulamontanaflyfishing.com/. He does fly fishing tours! That would be so cool!! 10 Bass Fishing Secrets from Professional Anglers 1. Save Shredded Worms When your plastic worms get torn up, save ’em. Bass like to ambush wounded prey, so a beat-up worm is perfect to use, especially in shallow water. Anthony Gagliardi, 2006 FLW Tour Land O’Lakes Angler of the Year   2. Red Fools the Fish In shallow cover — wood, stumps, clumps of grass — I like to use a spinner bait with a red or pink head, and a crank bait with red hooks.
