☆BASS FISHING TIPS☆
What does it feel like when bass bite?
Well let's be honest with the first part of this interesting question... When you've done an adequate job of enticing a black bass they're going to ambush any way they can. Sometimes they completely inhale a running crankbait, gently pick a Texas or Ned Rig from the bottom, or nail a jig on the fall, and this creates a different feel for each scenario.
So what does it take to learn how to "feel a bass bite"? Well in my opinion, it's an experience thing & understanding what is potentially happening on the other end of the line is key. For the beginner especially, try keeping contact with the line and continuously take stock of what you feel.
When I pull a lure like a worm or a jig, or something that I must feel the bite on, through the water, I'm constantly "weighing my lure." In other words, I am training myself as to how the lure feels all the time with nothing impacting it.
A bite changes how the lure feels. It might make it feel really light. It might make it feel "mushy". It might feel heavier or you will actually feel the fish pecking on it. The thing is you have to know how the lure feels all the rest of the time and then anytime it starts to feel different you move to the next key point.
Sometimes a bite in cover just feels like the lure is stuck. If you've hopped it up and down or just pitched it in there, mostly likely it is in a fish's mouth and not stuck in the cover.
This is a newer format I am trying, to keeping info flowing through Facebook but trying not to be too lengthy. Let me know how you like it, and let me know what changes could be made. 📜OR JUST COMMENT ON THE POST!!
