The Bass fish is generally identified as a black fish; there are other types such as the small mouth bass and the largemouth bass. Bass fishing
actually originated here in the US. Back in the day anglers would fish for Bass to put food on the table, however today it has evolved into a sport. The sport of Bass
fishing became extremely popular back in the 50's.
Due to this fact the evolution of fishing gear has been drastic, technology such as GPS and electronic
boats have taken the sport to a whole new level, far from its humble beginnings. Today you can get some fancy fishing gear such as rods, lures, reels and
lines.
The sport of Bass fishing has generated a lot money over the years and continues to do so. As mentioned earlier the bass is no longer considered food
but a sought after prize. In a lot of cases the fish are caught and then released, hence the term, "catch and released".
The fish you catch must be alive as
dead fish will not be counted to your score. After the fish is caught it is weighted and then released immediately back into the water. If the fish is under any stress it is
placed in a holding tank for treatment then later released.
When it comes to bass fishing like any other fishing the emphasis is upon locating the fish. In order
to do this you will need some tools. First and foremost you will need to be able to read a map, and then the goal is to trace the fish. You will need to understand water
debts and you will also need clear water to fish.
In addition to that you will need to understand the temperatures that these types of fish populate in and like
anything else there will be seasonal variances. Vegetation, contours, shallow water and deep water are all factors you will need to consider in order to catch these
fish.
Once you get this down then as they say the game is on.

NEARLY 20 years ago, on a gloriously sunny September afternoon on Cape Cod, waves sparkled, fishing boats bobbed and guests arrived bearing gifts. My widowed mother was about to marry on the well-groomed lawn of her house overlooking Nauset Harbor, not 10 yards from where my own wedding had taken place several years earlier. My husband, Chris, and...
WE were driving through the back alleys of Ouidah, a sultry former slave port in the West African nation of Benin, when we spotted him: a figure in robes and leather gloves. His face was hidden by a burlap hood studded with beads and cowrie shells. A teenage boy carrying a wooden stick was leading him past peach-colored houses shaded by coconut...
SPICEWOOD BEACH, Tex. — The water that once nourished this central Texas community never traveled far: it came from a fenced-in well at the edge of Lake Travis, down a winding street next to the golf course. These days, the water that flows from kitchen and bathroom faucets takes an extraordinary journey that can be measured not in...
SUVA, FIJI — Though it has been more than 15 years since Korovou Vakaloloma built a traditional Fijian canoe, he does not need to refer to any blueprints. “It’s all right here, eh,” he said with a laugh, pointing at his head and continuing to sand the boat’s mahogany hull. Mr. Vakaloloma, 61, who is from the island of...
