Bait Natural
In this article I’m going to outline a few of the more popular and effective warm weather bass fishing lures. When it comes to bass fishing lures the sheer number of options available to the average fisherman can be enough to make you want to take up a different past time altogether. This article will give you a good jumping off point when it comes to fishing for bass in warm weather.
It seems to me that many times bass lures are made more for the fishermen than the fish. In other words the fisherman will look at the lure and say to himself, “that’s a cool looking lure”, and buy it. The most important thing to remember when looking at bass lures is to think like a bass.
Spend a little bit of time studying your quarry and find out what they like to eat, when they like to eat it, and the places your favorite species of bass can be found. A little bit of self education will go a long way when it comes to fishing. Education and spending time on the water fishing are keys to being a successful angler. Those two factors, coupled with the most effective lures, and your on your way to a very successful bass fishing season.
- Rattling Crankbaits – These lures excel when the weather is warm and the water is stained. These lures have a large profile which make is easier for bass to track them. A great tip is to find the favorite baitfish of the water you’re fishing and choose a different color than the natural baitfish. This will make you’re offering stand out a little bit. Some anglers will pull their rattling crank bait along the bottom, digging it into the bottom during the retrieve. They claim that this disturbance along the bottom attracts the bass.
- Jigging Spoons – Most bass fishermen think of jigging spoons as a wintertime bass lure and don’t use them during warm weather periods. This is a mistake. No bass lure is better at probing deep water than jigging spoon. A big flashing spoon creates a very enticing image for these voracious eaters. You can probe underwater humps and creek channels very strategically with a jigging spoon. Just because the weather is warm, don’t neglect the jigging spoon.
- Realistic Crankbaits – In warm weather conditions many time to more realistic your bass lure is the better it will perform. Some crankbaits are much more realistic than others, and one of the most realistic I’ve ever seen is the KickTail minnow. When it comes to bass lures the KickTail minnow looks just like a natural bait fish, which during warm weather conditions, can make all the difference in the world.
- Loud Top Water Lures – When fishing in warm weather we are usually on the water early in the mornings and/or late in the evenings (more so than when it’s colder). These are the best times to employ loud top water lures such as buzz baits. Buzz baits should always be retrieved through shade, and in a perfect world should be retrieved near an underwater tree. Remember to be patient when a strike occurs, the biggest reason anglers miss bass when using buzz baits is because of setting the hook too quickly.
Any or all of these warm weather bass fishing lures should be added to your bass fishing repertoire sooner, rather than later. If any of them aren’t in your tackle box I would suggest you add whichever of these bass lures are missing. You’re bites rates will increase as soon as you do.
