Fly-Rodding

Fly fishing technique is very effective on bass.  This technique can be used to fish bass in ponds, rivers and streams, and lakes.  Start by rigging a plastic worm, with a small split-shot above the hook.  This will enable the worm to sink to the bottom.  Cast the worm and let it sink to the bottom.  Twitch the rod to make the worm appear as it is wounded.  Keep the rod tip near very low to make it possible to make a strike when the bass take the worm.

Ripping

This is a technique that uses the twitch, jerk, and go method.  This technique works best with plastic worm.  The object of this is to imitate a wounded prey. Cast the worm and let it drop and settle to the bottom, letting it stay there for about 10 seconds.  Reel some line in and twitch the tip of the rod quickly, creating the worm to jerk.  Let the worm drop again to the bottom and repeat the same process over and over until you get a strike.

Skipping

This technique is similar to the skimming the rocks onto the surface of the water to see it ’skip’.  This technique is useful when fishing with a top-water lures.  The lures skims the top of the water and produce a disturbance, which in turns, triggers and teases the bass to come up and investigate.

Spinning rods and reel combo is best used for this technique.  This technique is perfect for fishing where the bass are hiding under piers, boat docks, and pontoons.  Bass prefer shady areas, under cover of structure on sunny days.

With bass fishing, you can use various techniques to catch them.  Some techniques might not work for you, but works wonder for others.  You will have to give each one a try to find which technique works for you.
