There are many factors that play into a successful day of bass fishing. Facts that we do know is that the weather is a big one. Is it sunny or cloudy, windy or calm? The stage of the moon and barometric pressure also seems to have an affect on whether these moody fish decide to feed or not. Spawning season also plays into the big picture. One can do an in depth study on each of these variables, however how many of us really have the time to analyze all the scientific and the meteor logic effects on bass. Let's face it. When we finally get a day away from work to go bass fishing, that's what we are going to do. Go fishing. You may have a few hours the day before to get ready for your trip and choose the lures that you think will work the best. Let's talk about basic things that have worked for me.
Bass fishing with plastic worms always seems to work the best for me. As a standard 3-4" worms are great. The pumpkin shades such as brown, orange brown, red brown, craw, and tan work well, a little glitter doesn't hurt either. I have also found that black worms work very well in murky water. The bass seem to pick up on the contrast. Try spraying a little WD-40 on the plastic worm, the bass are attracted to the scent.
Cast your bait in areas that bass like to hang out, usually in the shadows. They like to feel protected. Around tree stumps, fallen logs, tall reeds, and shore ledges. Work the worm on the bottom, reeling in very very slowly. When you feel a tap,tap,tap point your rod down and take up the slack in the line. When you feel him tighten the line, SET THE HOOK.
In the event that worms are not working on that particular day, you should have an arsenal crankbait ready to try. Natural baitfish colors seem to work best. For clear water, try a pearl melon color or something with red patterns in it. Jerk baits also work well in clear water conditions. Try casting into the areas at different angles also. The bass may just want the right angle of attack.
These are just a few basic suggestions to try without getting too caught up in the science of it all. The main objective is to just relax, enjoy the day outdoors and have fun.

Top Tuna Fishing Lures
Tuna are powerful saltwater fish that are highly prized source of food. Some species of tuna can weigh over 1000 pounds and are widely distributed around the world. Sport fishermen consider tuna to be the ultimate big game sport fish to catch and very few anglers will get a chance to catch these monsters due to accessibility and over fishing commercially have reduced the stock dramatically. Some of the top producing tuna lures are the artificial squid and feather jigs.
One of the best methods of tuna fishing is trolling from a boat. Trolling requires heavy lures and can be done with natural bait or artificial lures. Daisy chains and spread bar rigs are two great producers for tuna fishing. The daisy chain rigs are used to attract game fish. The lures are rigged together into strings and trolled at different speed depending on the conditions. The chain simulates a school of baitfish and usually the last bait has a hook hidden inside it. Many anglers like to use ballyhoo, herring and artificial squid as bait for this type of rig. If you are new to the sport, you can buy ready-rigged daisy chains at the tackle shop.
The spreader bar rig is an enhancement of the daisy chain rig. Instead of using a single string of bait, the spreader bar utilizes multiple daisy chains attach to a steel rod and trolled behind a boat. This method imitates a larger school of baitfish. Many spreader bars can be used at the same time to further increase the formation of baitfish. Similar to the daisy chain, the last bait or lure of each spreader bar has a large tuna hook attached. The idea is to make it resemble a game fish chasing a school of fish.
Trolling with feather jigs is another productive method of tuna fishing. These types of tuna lures can be trolled individually or as a group. It consists of a leaded weight jig head attach to a feather skirt. A leader is threaded through lure and tied to a large hook. Feather jigs come in many colors scheme. Choose natural colors of baitfish for normal conditions. Fluorescent colors can produce great results and work best in low light conditions or murky water.
Tuna fishing with daisy chains and spread bars rigs is a lot of fun. Watching tuna darting up to surface and hitting the baits is an amazing experience.
The Top Ten Bass Fishing Lures
Bass is a very popular sporting fish that anglers like to try and catch, following is a list of the 10 best lures to use, as well as a bit on how and why each one can be used. This is purely opinion of course, but should provide you with a decent guide to help give you the edge out on the water!
1. Chatter-bait
The Chatter-bait is still a relatively new fishing lure but has made a big splash on the bass fishing scene. From tournaments to weekends on the water it has been making a name for itself by consistently producing bass. The Chatter-bait falls somewhere between a buzz-bait and a jig in presentation.
2. Swim-bait
In recent years Swim-baits have become the best bet for catching trophy-size large-mouth bass. There is a large range of Swim-baits available to match your location. Their popularity in "Big Bass" waters like those found in California and Texas push them onto this list at No. 9.
3. Creature Baits
There is a huge variety of soft plastic lures on the market that look like anything and nothing in the water. Creature baits like the Yum Woolly Beavertail have given anglers a new set of plastics to trick pressured bass. Creature baits can also be used as trailers for other baits.
4. Classic Lip Crank Bait
Crank-baits really are time tested bass catching lures. Large or small, these cranks can catch all of them. Their precision and physical appearance is constantly being updated but even the classic older versions will deliver you plenty of fish. Tournament anglers will often be seen running cranks to locate fish on large flats or over deep water structure.
5. Bass Jig
Flip it, pitch it, swim it, either way the Jig is a great way to catch bass. It is a consistent 'go-to' bait for tournament anglers and rightly so. Natural colour football head jigs are great in deep structure or you can try swimming a shad coloured model off of ledges and over structure. The addition of a trailer is always a winner.
6. Lip-less Crank
The Lip-less crank is a more versatile version of the classic crank. It's tight wiggle and multitude of depths and speeds it can be presented at have made it a favourite of professionals and amateurs alike. Kevin Van Dam uses this lure as his 'go-to' bait. Designed by KVD himself, this "sexy shad" is a must have bait!
7. Senko
The Senko has quickly become a favourite amongst anglers. It can be presented in a great variety of ways and bass really love each and every one of them. My favourite Senko technique is a Wacky Rig.
8. Spinner bait
Spinner baits like the TerminatorT2 spinner bait are the most reached for bait for locating bass. They can be fished fast or slow in deep water or shallow water. Spinner baits are especially effective as the water gets warmer. If you're out this summer and fishing in a new spot, tie on a spinner bait and do some searching. I'm sure you'll have a good time and some decent success.
9. The tube
The Tube bait is one the most versatile bass lures available. It catches large- and small-mouth bass alike and can be used in any waters at almost any temperature to catch fish. Its versatility and ability to mimic so many things give it the No. 2 ranking. Try a Berkeley Powerbait 3" or 4" in Pumpkinseed or Green Pumpkin in any water you fish. The best one I have come across is a Texas-Rig with a tungsten weight. The tungsten weight makes clicking noises as it bounces across objects, the sound of it helps bass look for it in unusual conditions. The tube gets its second place spot due to its incredible success at catching small mouth bass. It is my favourite 'go-to' bait for small mouth bass fishing.
10. Worm
Soft plastic worms come in many shapes and sizes, all of which have a place. They're by far the most versatile fishing lure on the market, and are effective on their own or as trailers. Large versions over 10" have pulled monster bass from Falcon lake while finesse worms on drop shot rigs have been used to fool even the most wary of bass. My personal 'go-to' bait is a Zoom Trick Worm Texas rigged weightless, or with a tungsten weight if needed. You can use it as a top-water, in weeds, over logs, or put a weight on and throw it into rock piles in six metres or more of water. Nothing is better than the classic worm!
