As the summer temperatures begins to climb into the mid 70's and 80's, this means to bass anglers that the temperature of the water is also rising. With warmer water comes plenty of bass as they start heading for the shallow parts of the lake in order to spawn. This is the perfect time for anglers everywhere to pull out their fishing gear and head to the water as summer is the easiest time to catch these fish.
Bass fishing during the spring and summer calls for the use of plenty of plastic lizard lures as well as spinnerbaits. While spinnerbaits will enable you to fish a big area of water in less time, soft plastic lizards happen to be a threat to the bass' spawn. If you are fishing in clearer waters, make sure that your spinnerbaits are either chartreuse in color or white. However, if the water is dark or murky, this is when you will want more brightly colored lures.
Being that salamanders and lizards are predators when it comes to bass eggs, fishing with plastic lizards is a perfect choice as bass will naturally strike at them to protect their young. Fish your lizards near covered areas and logs that are close to the spawning locations around the banks.
As far as where to look for the spawning grounds, the best bass fishing tips will suggest that you begin at the northern banks of a stream on a lake. Northern banks are usually shielded from the colder winds that occur after a cold front. These banks will be the first to warm and stay warm.
Whenever you are fishing during a spawn, you must have on a quality pair of polarized sunglasses in order to see the fish through the water and cover that are bedding. Polarized sunglasses help to minimize the sun's glare off of the water so that you can see significantly better than you would under the same circumstances without the glasses.
Spring and summer are also the perfect time to teach a child the joys of bass fishing as well. Since the fish are easier to catch at this time, you have a better chance of your child being able to experience catching their first bass. If it looks like the weather is going to be nice, consider showing the next generation exactly how to catch bass. Perhaps the sport will enrich their lives in the same way it has enriched yours.
