Bass Fishing!

Bass fishing is the GOD of fishing, right? So, in this post, we'll discuss everything you must know about bass and bass fishing.

    As you already know, there are more species of bass, the most popular being the Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, and Striped Bass. Let's talk about where you can find each one:

     Largemouth Bass can be found in areas with ample cover, like weeds, lily pads, rocks, and submerged logs. In warmer months they tend to stay close to the surface, and in colder months they move toward deeper water where they can follow baitfish. You can find them in freshwater lakes, ponds, rivers, and reservoirs, especially in North America.





    Smallmouth Bass are more sensitive to water temperature and quality, thriving in clear, rocky lakes and rivers with a moderate to fast current. They tend to hide around rocky structures, ledges, and deep pools. Most can be found in the northern U.S. and Canada.




     Striped Bass can be found in salt and fresh waters like coastal waters, estuaries, and large river systems. They're more adaptable than the other species of bass, and in some months of the year they tend to stay closer to the shore.





    Diet

 


    -Largemouth Bass Diet - Bluegill, Minnows, Shad, Smaller Bass, Crayfish, Insects, Frogs, Small Snakes, Small Birds
    In the summer they eat at the surface and in the autumn they feed in deeper waters.


   -Smallmouth Bass Diet - Crayfish, Insects, Darters, Perch


    Striped Bass Diet - Herring, Shad, Shrimp, Crabs, Squid, Marine Worms






    Ok! We finished the boring subject. Now let's enter our favorite rabbit hole.


    Lures



    As you've read already bass have a complex diet, meaning they will eat everything that comes close to them (or almost everything).


    Soft lures

    They came in a bunch of sizes, colors, and shapes, but for bass, my favorites are:


Crustaceans





Topwater Frogs






Explosive Topwater





    There are a lot more lures, but I'm sure that you are the expert, not me.



    I hope you enjoyed it!! And don't forget, our blog is full of helpful information about fishing any kind of species.

The Sturgeon!

     The sturgeon is a fish that carries with it an ancient lineage, tracing back over 200 million years. These prehistoric creatures have outlived dinosaurs, their armored bodies and distinctive features largely unchanged by the passage of time. With their elongated bodies, bony scutes along their backs, and long, whisker-like barbels near their mouths, sturgeon possess a unique, almost otherworldly appearance. They can grow to impressive sizes, with some species like the beluga sturgeon reaching lengths over 20 feet and weights exceeding a ton.     Sturgeon is mostly found in both freshwater and saltwater environments, depending on the species. Many of them are anadromous, meaning they migrate from saltwater to freshwater to spawn. Their habitats include rivers, lakes, and coastal regions across the Northern Hemisphere. Despite their ancient resilience, sturgeon populations face modern threats such as overfishing, habitat loss, and pollution, making many speci...

Equipment For Fishing Trips!

In this post, we'll discuss the equipment for your trip and much more.     Ok, let's get straight to the point.

Location is the most important aspect in fishing. It doesn't matter if you've been to that place before because you just might find America again. So yeah, going to a place that you've never fished on it's not just a mystery, but an expedition too.     Good. We can now focus on the equipment. What do you take in? Rods! It doesn't matter what you fish for, the most important thing that you must normally have are rods! Multiple rods if you can, because a l...
