Hi hope some of you have managed to get out fishing last week and had some success catching some largemouth bass

Bass fishing is a funny old game.You know, with all these "miracle baits" on the market right now, you'd think everyone would be maxing out everytime they go out fishing and there'd be no more fish to catch...

Well, just in case you hadn't figured it out yet, the game of fishing is won or lost in the basics.

1. Finding 'em.

2. Triggering a bite.

3. Hauling 'em in without losing 'em.

That's it.

And it's all the little things in each of these 3 areas that will make all the difference...

Get them right and you're the hometown hero. You get the fish, and all the girls. :)

Get them wrong, and you're the chump going home empty handed to all the snickering behind your back.

Today we're digging into area #2.

Triggering bites.

No miracle lures here, just plastics that work for a REASON, as you'll soon see....and if you want in on the little-known
"backwoods bass fishing secrets" the old schoolers figured out decades ago -- to put food on the table, you can find all of them here: largemouth bass fishing

Just 3 things you'll discover:

* The secret "bump and flutter" strategy that instantly commands the attention of bass in cover... and provokes a dramatic
predator attack! (This is almost unfair because it uses a bass' natural instincts against it, forcing an involuntary strike.)

* How over-fishing has "re-conditioned" a bass' instincts... and how to exploit this fact so you clean house in almost any heavily fished area.

I trust that what you've read so far has been informative. The following section should go a long way toward clearing up any uncertainty that may remain.

* How to unleash the bass attracting power of pure fish oils by "baiting your baits" with a secret substance that drives
bass wild! (...and your buddies won't have a clue why bass are attacking your baits like rabid dogs.)

* And hundreds more...

let's dig into this week largemouth bass fishing tips...

When it comes to catching bass, plastics are the bait of choice, and the choosing is getting tougher every day. The truth is, the best choice is one that works for you, and you might have to do some trial and error fishing to determine what it is that works best for you in the various locations and conditions in which you will be fishing, and formulate solid, workable approaches to all the different conditions as you go.

Once upon a time, choosing which plastic bait to use was quite simple, because there were so few from which to choose. Now days, there are so many it can really be complicated. From choices such as a slider about four inches long in motor oil, to a ripple tail about eight inches long in bubblegum, the mind can boggle when it comes to making a seemingly simple choice about which plastic bait will work best for you.

First, consider the size fish you plan to catch. Smaller fish require smaller bait or they just nibble the bait away and avoid the hook. Larger fish turn up their noses at measly offerings. Another consideration when it comes to choosing a plastic bait to catch bass is how a bait must appeal to the bass.

They are attracted to the way the bait looks. If it catches their eye, they will bite it. Next, they are attracted to the way it feels. If it feels right, they will gobble it down, and if it moves right to send out some vibrations,they will take off after it to gobble it down.

That being said, the way a bass feeds is determined by the temperature of the water and how clear the water is, so you
must choose your plastic bait based on the color of the lure and the scent of the lure.

Now, the most popular plastic bait for catching bass is the plastic worm. They come in lengths from four to twelve inches long. Worms with straight tails will have little action or vibration in the water. An example of an intermediate action plastic worm is the Culprit. The rippled tail of the worm is what gives it the vibration in the water. The worms with the most action will have a wide curl in them. An example of a high action worm with a wide curl is Gator Tail by Ditto. When the water is clear, the bass will rely on seeing their bait more than the vibration it causes in the water. In stained waters, they are going to rely more on the vibration in the water to let them know the bait is there. In clear water, use natural
looking colors that are brighter. In stained water, use darker colors. The best all purpose color you can choose is chartreuse, because it works in clear or muddy water equally well.

If you are fishing bottom structure, try the Do-Nothing. Ringworms are good choices in most conditions. Some tried and true plastic worms are: Culprit worms in anything from a seven inch to a ten inch size, Kicker Fish Bait Company's Wacky Worm, and the Magnum Wacky Worm.

Another suggestion that bears mentioning are soft plastic jerkbaits. These baits mimic injured baitfish and can be used as sight fishing lures, but can also be weighted and fished a bit deeper when you need to.

Soft plastic jerk baits that work well under varying conditions are the Culprit jerk worm, the kicker fish shad stick, the Culprit Jerk Shad, the Lake Fork Magic Shad, and the Gambler Super Stud.These jerk baits have different things to offer, and work under most any condition you could experience when it comes to catching bass! Plastic Lizards work well too when it comes to catching bass, and any of the following will certainly get the job done: Culprit Lizard, Zoom Lizard, Yum Lizard, and the Luck E Strike Lizard.Plastic crawdads are in most bass anglers' tackle box too, that is, when they are not on the
end of their hooks luring big bass into their live wells. Consider the following: Gene Larew Salt Craw, Gambler Flappy Daddy, and the Gambler Flappy Daddy, Jr.

Now, don't forget the soft plastic grub when it comes to catching bass. It might be the smallest soft plastic in your tackle box, but it can often times outcatch anything else in there. Try Yum grubs, or a four or five inch Gonzo Grub, and see if it does not work well for you! Remember to check out the details about a little-known secret "weapon" some lucky bass fishermen are using to double their catches of bass.
