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...

Line Types!

One of the main components of a rod is the line so having good knowledge about it will help you become a better angler. This post will discuss the strength, colors, and usage of different line types.      Now let's clarify something. Does the line color matter?     YES! It does matter. So here are the things you need to know:     - The clarity of the water is crucial. The lighter or translucent colors in clear water are more effective, because the fish will be less precarious, and the biting chances are bigger. In murky waters, something more colorful line like red and yellow is the best choice.       - Environment. If you're fishing along some vegetation or sandy areas you should have some green or yellow lines, imitating the environment.     - Fish Species. Some fish are more shy and scared than others, like trout fishing, where you need translucent lines to ensure your catch.     Ok, now that you know what lin...
