Before you head out to the lake for a full day of fishing for bass, you'll want to prepare by making sure you have all the appropriate gear with you. One of the most important things to remember is your bass fishing lures. You'll want to determine what type of lures you need by the type of bass you are pursuing, the body of water you're fishing, and the time of year you're heading out. However, remember that having a wide selection of different bass fishing lures is the best way to prepare for an unpredictable fish.
Swimbaits are bass fishing lures that are made to imitate small bait fish in the natural habitat of the bass. These are rigged in a way that the angler can cast out and, as the lure is reeled back in, its "tail" swishes much the same way that a live fish, such as shad, would. Varying the speed of your reel as you pull it along can make it appear to dart about like minnows and other small baitfish, further leading the bass to believe it is targeting a live catch.
Topwater baits are exactly what they claim to be. These lures are constructed to "swim" across the top of the water. This mimics the habits of insects, such as flies, crickets, and grasshoppers as they touch the surface of the water and buzz along. They can also appear to be small amphibians, like tadpoles or even small frogs, that tend to stay near the surface of the water. While these bass fishing lures don't target large fish, you can expect to catch larger quantities in the shallows with these babies.
Worms, again, are named for what they imitate. Worms are bass fishing lures that are used in several ways, including trolling and bottom bouncing. Worms are odd creatures, and they can be found at any level of the lake, doing any number of things. If trolling doesn't attract the bass, try sinking it or swimming it.
Craw cranks are an interesting type of bass fishing lure. They are made to look like crawfish, which are common in many of the lakes where you'll find large populations of bass, especially in the south. Most come in very bright colors that are similar to the colors of live crawfish, as well as less natural colors. These include bright pinks, neon yellows and oranges, and chartreuse. These are very realistic when trolled along the bottom of the lake, as crawfish are bottom feeders, and can evoke a fabulous response.
