Fishing Tips / Techniques

Fishing tips is an excellent collection by Lee Bailey Jr 3-time Bassmaster Classic qualifier and Bassmaster Champion.

The purpose of this section is to examine in depth the question of exactly how various factors affect fishing by examining each aspect of a bass’ behavior when you enter the underwater world in which they
live. In Fishing Factors™ you will learn all these techniques and aspects to understanding and applying all my 30 plus years of information on studying the black bass.

How many times have you had the experience where you have chosen what seemed to be the perfect day for going fishing only to have the fish completely ignore your bait, lure, or fly seemingly without reason? You’ve gone to the trouble of sourcing a variety of fresh baits or lures, the sun is setting, the water is calm, it’s a beautiful day but you don’t get a touch and end up leaving for home wondering why the fish weren’t biting.

Fish have to eat just like people do and if they refuse to feed on any given day there must be a reason for it. However, the answer to why fish don’t bite on any given day is likely dependent on several variables ranging from water temperature, to barometric pressure, to turbidity, to wind speed and direction. In fact, most fishermen do not truly understand just how different a fish’s environment is from our own and because they have a drastically different anatomy from Humans, atmospheric conditions and even the lunar cycle that have little direct effect on Humans can actually have a huge effect on fish.

As you clock more and more bass fishing hours you will acquire a knack for choosing the right lure and technique for the right situation. The best advice is to examine the fishing conditions, ask for guidance
from anglers familiar with the waters you are fishing. Try these different Fishing Factors™ techniques until you discover what works most effectively.
