Bass Fishing Lure Techniques

Bass fishing is a very particular style of fishing. There is many different techniques and lures that you can use for fishing for this types of fish.

In the following article I am going to go over some different techniques that you can use for each lure. I will also show you what works best where and when it works best.

Shallow Water Lures

To fish for Bass in shallow water means exactly what the name implies. You will be fishing for Bass in shallow water as opposed to deep water. Most fishermen will say that if you are fishing in shallow waters to use floating bait to catch your fish.

This type of lure does work good in shallow water. A popular type of lure that may work good for you is the Jitterbug. Additionally, you can also try out Spinnerbaits as well. These types of lures work good in shallow water along side floating lures.

Medium Water Lures

Next comes up the medium water zones. Ideally Crank baits work the best here. Be warned though that there are many different types of Crank baits. If you are fishing in medium waters, try to go with the medium depth ones. If you are unsure what is what, then go ask your local fishing store, or you can also determine what zone it is by the size of the lip on the lure.

Jigs and Worms also work fairly good in medium depth waters. Give them a ago if you are having trouble using the Crank baits or if the fish just simply are not biting.

Deep Water Lures

Bass will often go to deeper waters in the Spring and Summer. This is because of the fact that the shallow water is just too warm for them. They will go to deeper waters to stay cool.

Plastic worms and Jigs are probably the best that you can use in deeper waters. You should stay away from Crank baits and any kind of live bait that you have. Just stick to the plastic stuff for now.
