Book Cover & Preview Text
small excerpts from different sections of book:
- The largemouth bass prefers a habitat of warm, calm, clear water and is usually found near water that is slow-moving like: streams, ponds, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs. A predatory fish, the largemouth bass eats other fish as well as frogs, crayfish (crawdads), even small birds and ducklings—as a matter of fact, it will eat just about any animal it can swallow, including other largemouth bass that are up to half its own body length. It is reported that this species can be quite cannibalistic as they devour their own young, but primarily concentrate their feeding habits on smaller fish and crustaceans, as well as a large variety of insects, and hopefully your lure of choice.
- In water, sound is transmitted as waves of changing water pressure. Thus, a perfectly silent step on the bottom of a carpeted boat can make a sound (a pressure wave if you will) that is "heard" by a bass over fifty feet away. Likewise, a stick snapping or a rock tumbling on the shoreline, the sound is transmitted through the ground into the water and thus, sound waves. However, it is not nearly as noticeable as the waves detected from boat noise.
- When there is a high enough wind that ripples the top of the water, this creates more oxygen in the water as well as stirring up plankton. Once the plankton is floating around, it is pushed to the far end of the waterway. This causes the baitfish to begin to swarm to these shallow areas to feed, and where there are baitfish, there are bass looking to feed as well…BIG bass! - LENGTH – if you are a tall fisherman, then you might like a longer rod – say 7’-0 or longer. If you are like me and under 6’-0, then you might not want to get much longer than a 6’-6 rod but you can. Different lures require different rod lengths as well as tip flexibilities due to the nature of the lures ‘action’. Longer rods also allow for further casting capability where shorter, stockier rods allow for horsing in that lunker out of the weed bed or brush. Either is fine, but it is all what you get used to and feel best fishing with. Confidence in your equipment and lure selection is most of the battle.
- Typically, you can find the dive depth in the Model Number of most crank baits. An example of this might be a DT-10 (DT = “Dives To”) which means that it is a deep diving lure that will “Dive To” and stay around 10’-0 below the surface during the retrieve.
If you would like to take the guesswork out of this equation and get right to the source, you can start by checking my website at www.booksbydave.com for a special Lure Selection product that I am currently patenting and will soon be releasing for manufacturing and sales.
