A Good Cause Lands Fishin' Sister Her First Bass

 Ms. Fishin' Sister caught her first bass in the pond this evening. She was thrilled about the catch, and credited all to our pal, Marc over at Pure Fishing for the awesome Shakespeare Two-Piece Ladyfish Complete Spinning Kit Combo (5-Feet 6-Inch)and practical fishing advise. Due to the nice set up, I believe Anna gained confidence and renewed interest in fishing. Remember your first bass? Use the comment section below to share your story.
TIPS THAT HELPED FISHIN' SISTER CATCH BASS:
Most people know that fishing for bass is better on overcast days than bright sunny days. This is a real basic pattern that fishermen tend to pick up on early, but how about wind? I have found a slight chop in the surface can turn on bass while no wind or heavy wind turns them off. During a cold front bass become sluggish and are sent deeper than usual. Does rain trigger bass into feeding, or turn them right off? Rain seems to trigger bass into feeding heavily, with rain comes clouds, and the clouds block out sunlight and since largemouth bass are light sensitive, this allows them to creep away from their cover a bit. And with rain, bugs wash into the water and the baitfish go and gather most of them up. Well this activity arouses the bass and comes in for a closer look only to see some potential food swimming around. The bass obviously can't pass up this free meal, so all of a sudden the predator fish become active. But a thunderstorm or heavy rain may quickly change the fish's mind and head it straight back to its heavy cover and become even more spooky than before.

The time of day an angler hits the water can be very important. Bass tend to be more willing to follow and strike a lure during low light periods. This means early morning and late evening fishing can be very rewarding.
So we know when to fish, now, where do we fish? Points and humps have always been favorites to fishermen. The only problem with these are that they can be difficult to find without a fish finder. If you do find them, fish the shady side first. In early morning and late evening fish hang around the top/shallow part of the humps and points. By midday they have all mostly dropped deeper down the side of the point or the hump.
