Bass Fishing Tips and Gear

The Bass fishing course created by Bill Dance is informative as well as entertaining. It contains 12 DVDs plus 12 CDs that present over 20 hours of fishing instruction. The DVDs cover a wide variety of topics including:
• Structures
• Fishing spinnerbaits, topwater lures, crankbaits and soft plastic lures
• Seasonal fishing (tips for winter, spring, summer and fall)
• Fishing different water types (cold, muddy, moving etc.)
• Fishing vegetation
• Hot new techniques
• Bass anatomy and facts

While it is possible to learn a great deal about Bass fishing without taking advantage of a structured program such as Bill Dance’s fishing course, it can take a lifetime to accumulate ( if you are like me it might take 2 lifetimes). The DVDs are full of helpful hints which you might never come across by reading fishing websites, magazines or books. And while talking fishing with your buddies can reveal a lot, you know very well that no fisherman tells all of their secrets.

The following are examples of bass fishing wisdom found in the Complete Bass Fishing Course:

• “When fishing a spinnerbait in clear water, it’s important to pay attention to the lures head design and color …….bass attack the head and skirt of a moving object and this is why spinnerbaits hook bass so well. The skirt is pulsating and the blade or blades become a blur, but the head basically stays still. I honestly feel bass zero in on the head, so the more realistic it looks, the more attractive it will be. Take the eyes for instance they are very important since bass use them as a focal point for striking. Even a touch of red on the throat or gills on the head can make the lure even more attractive.
It’s also important to remember when fishing spring clear water that too much flash from metallic blades can be a turn off and can actually spook bass.”

• “…when the daytime summer heat forces most anglers to surrender, I try to turn up the heat on those big “lunar lunkers.” Often the clear-to-stained waters that are toughest and most unproductive during the day are the ones that are best after dark — especially those times close to a new or full moon phase.”

• “There are five keys to topwa¬ter success that are impor¬tant to remember: the first concerns water temp and water clarity—slightly stained to clear water is best when the surface temp is above 65 de¬grees. Second, you should fish your lure as close as possible to an object or irregular fea¬ture. This can be either visible or submerged. Third, whenever possible, cast toward the sun. Fourth, establish a rhythm. It’s the rhythm of a lure that at¬tracts bass. And fifth, don’t set the hook until you feel the weight of the fish.”

By having the course available on both DVDs and CDs you will be able to tailor your use to your own preference and time availability. While it is nice to sit and watch a presentation which permits you to visualize new techniques, I find that having the material on CD permits me to listen during what is often nonproductive time such as when I am driving. The fact that the information is presented in relatively short segments means that even on short jaunts you can add to your bass fishing knowledge.
