Alberta Bass Fishing: The Secret Sauce!
August 9th, 2010 | Author: Admin
A professional fisherman or not, you probably dream about landing hundreds of bass over 10 pounds, having in mind that the heaviest bass ever caught is a 22.25-pounder, caught in 1932 by George Perry . Although there is no magical solution to catch such a fish, we will try to provide you with some bass fishing tips and tricks.
To begin with, you must consider a bass over 10 pounds as a different creature than an 8-pounder or 9-pounder bass because it is more experienced and a lot less likely to be caught than a younger fish. You should definitely consider a different approach starting with:
*Choose the right place: it is just common sense to try catching a 10-pund bass where such a bass is likely to be. You will probably be obliged to travel a few hundred of miles because in most places there just isn’t any bass over 10 pounds. If you are aiming for a monster bass you should try California, Florida or Texas although Alberta will still be a worth considering destination for your bass fishing trip.
*Choose the right moment: Consider the fact that is more likely to catch a monster fish in winter or spring than summer or fall. For example, if in early fall, in a certain lake there are three 8-pounders, two 9-pounders, and one 10-pounder all of them will be 1 or two pounds heavier by winter. Statistics clearly show that for the Alberta lakes, most 10-pounds fish were caught from December to April.
*Try to find your huge bass near deep water. The fishes often move shallow in order to feed, but you will not find them in any shallow water where there is no deep water around. Such places where shallow water meets deep water are near pond dams, humps, bridges or creek channels, for example.
*Chose the right lure: Professional Alberta fishermen say that jigs and spinner baits are probably the best big-fish bait during the whole year. Meanwhile the other baits can be equally great for catching a huge bass, but only in certain periods of the year.
*Don’t be in a hurry: when a big fish hits, most of the time it will not move a lot while a little fish, on the other hand, will run with the bait.
*Try fishing by yourself: although it may seem hard for you, fishing by yourself wil definitely increase your chances of catching a monster bass. A second or third bass fisherman may scare that big fish away.
*Use a small boat: statistics show that bigger boats are not necessarily better than small ones. You will have at least as many chances to catch a fine bass in a smaller boat as as in a large boat. You can use even a canoe, tube, or a bank.
*It is clear that you will learn most of the important facts about fishing by getting out there and trying to catch your big fish. On the other hand, you will simplify your life if try to learn as much as possible from the people who have caught big bass before you. You can also use the Internet, read magazines and books, go to seminars or hire an Alberta guide in order to get information about bass fishing and especially bass fishing in Alberta.
*One last advice: don’t be greedy. You should never care for numbers. Remember that you are after a different creature which will or will not bite. Even if in the end of the day you have not caught any fish, you have to keep in mind that you want THAT one big fish and not an ordinary one.
