One of the most enjoyable fish to catch in freshwater is the smallmouth bass. In this article, I'm going to outline some simple, yet amazingly effective smallmouth bass fishing tips that will help most any angler enjoy much more fishing success. These tips for success have been learned through more that fifty years of combined fishing experience, and now you have the opportunity to learn these tips in a few minutes of reading. Not a bad deal in my estimation.
In many areas of the country smallmouth bass can be caught from the flowing waters of both rivers and streams, and can even be fished for in much the same manner as trout! Many of the tips outlined in this article can even be used by the angler who likes to wade in the flowing waters of said rivers and/or streams. If you've never had the pleasure of catching a 3-4 pound smallmouth out of the flowing water of a river or stream, let me tell you from experience that it's as much fun as can be experienced with your clothes on!
Let's get down to the tips for success while smallmouth bass fishing, shall we?
<ul>
<li>Smallmouth Love Live Bait - Live bait is very effective for smallmouth, and when said bait is rigged on a set of pre-tied gang hooks, the results can be dramatic. This is especially true in the case of live worms. A live worm rigged on a set of gang hooks, and allowed to flow naturally with the current of a river or stream is a great smallmouth bass fishing tip.</li>
<li>Top Water Baits Are A Great Idea - This tip is for the lake smallmouth angler. Top water baits when the water is flat (in the early mornings and late evenings) is a great tip for smallmouth success. Large smallmouth find top water baits irresistible in these conditions. The key to success is water that's like glass when top water fishing for "smallies".</li>
<li>Pay Attention To The Moon - Being on the water when the fish are the most active is of the utmost importance. This is why paying attention to the moon is a great smallmouth fishing tip. You can learn what you need to know about the moon and <a target="_new" href="http://www.jrwfishing.com/signup.asp">how it relates to fishing</a> in about a half an hour of study. Don't worry, it's not necessary to become an astronomer, just the basics will make a big impact on your smallmouth fishing success.</li>
<li>Use Light Line - The lighter your line, the more bites you will get, it's as simple as that. Smallmouths have very good eyesight and the lighter your line, the less apt the fish are to see it, and thus more bites. Not only this, but using light line makes fishing much more challenging and fun, so use as light of fishing line as you can get away with if you want to catch more smallmouth.</li>
</ul>
Start using these smallmouth bass fishing tips sooner, rather than later, and you'll start experiencing much more success. How am I so sure of this fact? Simply because I've been using these tips for more than 20 years and know how effective they are.
