Im entering a fishing tournament for small mouth bass, any good tips?

November 28, 2009

Im entering a local fishing tournament soon, for Small mouths, muskie, and walleye. For the tournament im going to target the small mouths, I dont fish for river small mouth bass, I generally fish the local lake for Large mouth, and fair pretty well. Ive tried useing some of my large mouth tactics for smallmouths with out much success. I fished one spot on the river the other day with a friend, we had no luck all day, until the evening came and the small mouths started smashing topwater lures then they just turned off again. The ones we did catch on top water luers were small but we did catch a few 2 to 3 pounders. Does any one have any tips or tactics on how to locate and catch these small mouths during mid day or any other time? Which lures you think work best and how to use them? How to catch even bigger smallmouths? The river we will fish for the tournament is very shallow, most of the river i see is only 3 to 5 ft deep and shallower. There are some pockets of 5 to 7 ft. But i dont think it gets any deeper then that. Any advice, tips, and tactics will be appreciated, thanks!!

Bass fishing help?

November 3, 2009

Ok, I catch bass pretty good on frogs, and buzz bait, and spinners. I love to use minnows pretty often, but their too expensive for all the time fishing so I usually just use artificial. My question is….

What color bait do you use during the day, and what color at night? I heard lighter during the day, darker at night but I dont know. Bass fishing tips would be helpful! Thanks!
