Kiss my bass
Large mouth bass, Sand bass, Small mouth bass? I live on Lake Travis in central Texas and the fish are really turning on. All the fish are getting ready 2 spawn and they are hungry. The best advice is to go to your bait shop near the place your are going to fish and ask what and where the fish are biting. Most good fisherman don't tell the hole truth all the time. But most will give good hints. Here the black or large mouth bass are in pre-spawn looking for food, but the water is still kind of cool, so I am fishing in water where the bait fish are, in warmer water. They will be going in to the creeks when the temp is right to spawn where you can catch them in their beds. This time of year I put all the blacks back so they can make more. The sand bass or whites are all ready going up stream, spoons, jigs, SHAD RAP by Rapala works Great. Myself, Crappie is the best. This last week we got over 200 slabers on minnows and jigs. Also the flat head catfish are starting to go. Big uns.
Fished in SC near Greenville on some small ponds a couple years ago and got me a 10lb black on a rapala pearch shad rap #5. Also fished Lake Hartwell for stiper hybrids. Got 38 big uns in 3 hrs.
My best advice is to try, and try again. If they are not biting on a bait, try a different color, size, style, and depth of your bait.
A real good way to learn is to hire a guide. It might cost a couple bucks but they will turn you on to the fish so you will come back and tell your friends.
Just get a good guide and pay attention. Worth it.
