This article is to discuss the 3 best methods to learn Bass Fishing
. There are many, many ways to learn. I find that the best approach is to find out what the pros do and then do it myself. These are the avenues that I use to learn what other top fisherman do to catch the lunkers!
1. Books: There have many books written about bass fishing. Some are very introductory and others go into very specific detail teaching all of the many variables involved in Bass Fishing. I like to find several books that focus on one specific area and study it thoroughly. For example, I will read a book about using floating top water plugs. I will absorb the information and then I will select another book that focuses on another method. In this example it will be a book about methods for using crankbaits for suspended fish. you can keep reading the books on each and every tactic that you can find. You will not remember all of the material in the books but you will remember quite a bit, thus making you a well rounded fisherman that will be prepared to catch fish in any conditions.
2. Magazines: There countless magazines out there in circulation that focus on Bass Fishing. There are several advantages to these magazine subscriptions. For one, most publications will generally have a resident pros offering advice with a specific approach to Bass Fishing. Imagine having that pro offering up tips every month. Also, the magazines will have product reviews. I really like this! If a particular rod can handle the trials and tribulations that a pro bass fisherman throws at it, chances are it will hold up to what I put it through. Generally there will also be several fishing reports based on the lunar cycle to help you pinpoint the peek time to land the bucket mouths.
3. Videos: In addition to learning all of the basic, intermediate, and advanced Bass Fishing techniques, videos will allow you to see them in action! This is the thing that helped me the most. Some of the times the techniques outlined in print are easy and straight forward. Other times this is not the case. Videos on Bass Fishing will let you see exactly how to perform some of these techniques in action rather than just still shots. I found this most helpful when I was learning a lot of the advanced casting techniques. The methods just did not make since on the page when I read the steps. It definitely helped ease the learning curve once I could see these techniques step by step on the screen. It also helped that I could rewind as often as I needed to.
