Bass is the most popular species for fresh water fishing and if you'd like to learn how to catch bass there are a variety of factors to consider, everything from the weather and quality of the water in to the lures and other fishing equipment you use.
In cooler weather, bass are more likely to be found in shallow water and in hot weather they retreat to deeper, cooler holes, so for starters you must concentrate on the areas where the bass will be swimming.
The quality of the water matters, too. In muddy water, bass use their sonar to locate food, so lures that vibrate work well. In clear water, bass are cautious, so you need light lines and lures that resemble local food sources.
If you want to know how to catch bass it helps to know where they swim.
The question of how to catch bass can best be answered by determining the best lure to use.

One angler suggests concentrating your efforts near isolated covers, around the largest rocks, biggest tree or brush pile, because this is where bass be looking for food. But in hotter weather, bass will be swimming in the shaded areas of the water or deep pools.
When you're ready to start fishing for bass, utilize a Texas rig with your lure. This allows you to fish for bass near weeds, logs and trees. Fish a Texas rigged lure around and through lily pads in shallow water to find bass hiding in the weeds.
The question of how to catch bass can best be answered by determining the best lure to use. The plastic worm is frequently cited as the best lure for bass because of its long thin profile and lifelike action. There are a number of worm lures to choose from, the leader being the Walking Worm from www.scientificfishing.com, which is designed with a multi-flex construction that traps air between several tail segments that causes the lure to constantly curl in the water. The Walking Worm moves like a live worm, and bass are quick to attack.
In a test of three lures, a crankbait, a plastic worm and the Walking Worm, bass swam by the first two and attacked the Walking Worm because it was the only lure that constantly moved to resemble a live worm.
