Man-made hump

In my 25-year career, I've introduced many clients to the delights of nighttime Bass Fishing. An offshore hump is a technique I use to attract large bass. Humps are typically more productive for nighttime bass fishing than points, as they draw bass from a wide area. Additionally, I find them more visually appealing to me than points.

You can fish from the bank for bass because of many benefits. For instance, you can be stealthy, while fishing for bass. If the wind is strong enough to allow trolling motors to drift close to a structure, they can be used. Once you've reached the structure with a long lure such as a bottom crawdad imitator or a trolling motor, use your reel handle and drag the lure in a manner that mimics a crawling crayfish.

The pre-spawn is when humps can be found in the ideal places to catch a large bass. These humps are actually underwater islands or high spots that have been raised above the surface of the water. Topo maps will show you where to look for concentric circles. These are the areas that mark a depression at its bottom and a rise above. Bass can use the humps for dinner plates. They sit on one end of the down-current side to ambush their prey while it washes around it. The result is a better feeding experience for bass.


When is the best time to fish from a bank?

The best time of year to fish for bass from the bank is during the spring and fall when bass migrate into the shallow water near the shore. Bank fishing allows anglers the freedom to fish from a boat without having to put effort into lining it up and keeping the fish at a safe distance. During these seasons, you can also walk along the shore to look for schools of bait fish hiding in the back of canals. During these seasons, you'll catch plenty of bass if you know what to look for.

How To

How do you clean your fishing gear?

There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some methods are simple while others require more complex techniques. The most common method is to use soap and water. Rinse the item with water after washing. You could end up with bacteria growth if you don't thoroughly rinse the item. If left untreated, this could cause a bad odor and worsening of infections. It is best to dry your items thoroughly before you store them. Avoid touching the item's surface when cleaning. You risk spreading germs to objects if you touch them.

Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. For example, depending on your type of gear, you might want to use special detergents or solvents. Some things should not be used, though, as they may cause damage to your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach has been known to disintegrate plastic and metal so it shouldn't be used to clean fishing gear. Instead, use warm water with a dishwashing solution. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing liquids have enzymes and chemical that help to break down organic material such as scales. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. But, if staining is a concern, you might consider using a stain eliminator. Oils and fats left on the surface cause most stains. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging the underlying material.

The local home improvement center will carry many choices for cleaners for your fishing gear. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some cleaners are designed to work with very small amounts of grease while others can handle large quantities. You can choose the one that fits your needs the best.
