Are You Holding Your Mouth Right To Catch More Fish?

Are You Holding Your Mouth Right To Catch More Fish?

My young stepson and I was fishing at Rush Creek and using the same rod and reel, line and lure. Everything was exactly the same, the problem was I had caught about a dozen bass and he hadn’t caught any and we were only standing about 10 feet apart.

He finally asked me why I was catching all the fish and he wasn’t. I said “Well John, you’re not holding your mouth right”. He said "How am I suppose to Hold it?”. I said “like this”. I made some strange face and had my lip stuck out and my face all messed up. So, I looked over and seen him trying to mimic the face I made and just fishing away.

I never thought any more about it. About 2 months later, he went up to the mountains of California and was fishing for trout at his grandparent’s cabin. He was standing by the stream and his grandfather came along to check on him. His grandfather kept watching and talking to him and finally said "John is there something wrong with your face? Are you sick?”.

So John explained I had told him to make his face like that to catch more fish. His grandfather tried not to laugh and went on his way to tell John's grandmother who told my wife and it got back to me.

I haven’t seen John in some time now due to his mother and me splitting up about 20 years ago but I will always have pleasant thoughts of him as my fishing buddy and him holding his mouth right to catch more fish.

The Right Bass Fishing Lures For The Best Results

Fishing is one of the most relaxing hobbies people practice. Besides relaxation there is also the joy of actually catching the fish and then enjoying a meal prepared with what you provided yourself – the fish, no matter whether it is bass, trout or any other edible species. If you also want to benefit from the wonderful taste of the fish you caught, then you must be well prepared for the activity. To give a good example here would be to stress out the importance of fishing lures as part of the tackle. Let’s consider bass fishing lures and see what specifics they have that will make better bass fishing.

Bass fishing lures must be chosen carefully as there are many types, specialized for the various conditions of bass fishing: the time, the place and the type of fishing, as well as the type of bass you are after. The most popular bass fishing lures include rubber worms, jigs, crank baits, spinner baits, grubs, poppers, tube baits, as well as vibrating lures.

Rubber worms are a more comfortable alternative to live ones. The added weight in the structure of these lures allows for a slow descent to the deepest part of your fishing place. On the other hand, many fishermen consider jigs to be the most useful and proper when bass fishing in somewhat murky waters or when fishing at night. The success of jigs comes from the fact that they look like living fish.

Other two bass fishing lures to discuss are the crank and spinner baits. Crank lures or baits imitate weak or injured fish which increases their usage range to both deep and surface fishing. These bass fishing lures trick the fish by the noise they make. Spinner baits, on the other hand, are made with a metal attachment that spins. Spinners attract bass through the agitation they cause and they work all year round and especially during the spawning season when feeding is less important to the bass.  

Poppers are similar to crank baits but they are used only as top water lures and are most successful during the summer. Now, in the case of small-mouth bass, other bass fishing lures like grubs will be more effective. This is so because small-mouth bass is attracted by tiny lures – the grubs, which are directed towards larger catches. Grubs are also to be used in clear deep waters.

The Challenge of Peacock Bass Fishing

Peacock bass fishing is quite possibly the most exciting freshwater fishing. The peacock bass, originally from South America, are well known for the fighting abilities and have desimated many a fisherman’s gear. 

Peacock bass fishing can only be done in warmer waters and have become an extremely popular freshwater game fish in Florida. They put up a great fight and are great to eat due to their delicate white meat as well.

The Florida’s peacock bass fishing industry has greatly benefited from the introduction of this fish into Florida’s warmer fresh waters. They are a tough fighting fish and have been known to easily destroy many a fisherman’s gear. They will strike hard and run out your line. Their aerial jumps make for exciting game fishing for the beginner or expert.

The exciting sport of peacock bass fishing can be done in several parts of the US, but many sport fisherman plan a once in a lifetime trip to the Amazon to catch the peacock bass in their natural habitat. This type of trip also offers a chance to experience the area’s unique culture and landscape. They can also be located in the waters of Columbia, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Panama, and tropical islands of the U.S.

The peacock bass can be hooked by fly fishing, artificial or live bait fishing.  They prefer live bait and can be located during daylight hours.   It is recommended to use a fly rod with 5 or 6 weight depending on where you are fishing.  Good reels, high quality line with fast action rods and sharp hooks to penetrate quickly are necessary.  Fly fishing equipment can be provided by the guide if preferred.  A good pair of Polaroid glasses will allow you to spot these beautiful fish as they hit. The fierce and powerful peacock bass guarantees the thrill of an exciting fishing battle. Each day will provide an angler with a chance hooking up to 10 or 20 of these fish and bagging at least one 15 pounder.  

To ensure a memorable and productive peacock bass fishing trip contact one of the many experienced local guides in Florida. Also consider a trip to the Amazon for a really unforgettable experience. There are many sites online, read the testimonials or get a referral from a friend or fellow fisherman.

You may have taken Florida fishing trips all your life and be a native Floridian, but if you have not had the thrill of hooking up to a renown fighting peacock bass you haven’t fished!

For The Interested Fisherman - Some Bass Fishing Hints

Fishing could be a relaxing, leisure-like activity, but it may also be a seriously exhausting activity.  Bass fishing has even worked it’s way to becoming an official sport on ESPN.  Because the sport of bass fishing requires more than simply luck and patience, being a good bass fisher might help if you had some bass fishing tips.  

The mavens know rather a lot about being a successful bass fisher.  It has been recognized the best bass fisherman understands the bass’s swimming pattern during the day.  Early in the morning, the sun rises and warms the banks and shallow ends of the water.  This is the likeliest place to locate a bass.  As the day moves forward and the sun moves towards the center of the sky, the deeper waters will warm and this is where the bass will move.  This is one of the many vital fishing tips a bass fisherman should understand.  

Understanding baiting methods may also be useful.  When fishing for bass in the autumn, a crankbait can do the job.  This is the perfect weight and length to submit to twelve foot water which is usually where you’ll find bass in the autumn season.  When spring comes a fish will as simply fall for the easy bait of a worm.  Due to the overall warmer temperatures, you will see colleges of bass gathering near the shores in the early morning.  Depending on the laws in your area you could use lizards or frogs to catch these floaters also.  The most crucial of all the fishing tips is to avoid wasting time fishing for bass in winter.  Bass do not customarily look for food in this season because their bodies need small fuel due to their limited activity.

What the majority (like Jeff French Columbia SC) are searching for out of a successful bass fishing season is to catch fish rather than waiting to catch them.  Fishing tips for all sorts of fish is, of course, be patient.  Unless you are fly fishing, leave your bait beneath the water to actually attract fish instead of drop and reel your bait in again and again again.  Not only does that take away the chance of a fish gaining interest in your bait, it’d just frighten away your potential catches.
