Everyone knows about plastic worms and spinnerbaits but depending on where you’re fishing, other lures can be just as easy to use. Swimbaits, crankbaits, and even crawfish can be easily learned and catch you more bass. Fishing conditions determine the easiest lure for you to use. In the weeds, you want to use a weedless lure like a Texas Rig Worm. In deep clear water, something like a crankbait might be more appropriate. Remember the conditions determine which lures would be easiest to use.

It is important to know what’s in the water where you are fishing. Are there weeds, rocks, logs or nothing at all? Bass relate to structure in the water. When fishing from the bank, focus on these areas.

Docks, logs, boulders, even bushes are the features you want to focus on. Fishing around these will greatly increase your chances of catching bass.

The best times of year to catch bass are Spring and Fall. The bass are feeding heavily during these seasons. The spawn in Spring makes fish extra aggressive and easier to catch. In the fall, bass are feeding more as they get ready for winter. 

The best times of day for beginners to catch bass are morning and evening. Just as the sun is coming up bass are often feeding near the bank. They repeat this behavior just before the sun goes down.
