Bass fishing these days is one of the most popular fishing sports practiced today. Its popularity has yielded a multi-billion dollar industry unto itself, aside from the business of other modes of sport fishing. There are boats on the market designed specifically for bass fishing. Clothes and gears are also very popular.
When it comes to a bass habitat, they can be found almost anywhere that there is freshwater. The most popular places to find bass though are in rivers and lakes. Waters that are high in oxygen are the most likely places where you are going to find some hungry bass that are willing to bite.
When it comes to the types of bass, the largemouth is the one that most bass fisherman are out to catch. The reason is they get the biggest and they also put up one heck of a fight. 10 pound and above largemouth bass are very common to catch.
The yellow and brown bullhead, followed by the channel catfish, is the most abundant in the area. They are favored by sportsman for the delicious table fare that they provide. Also harvested commercially, mainly on Lake Okeechobee, and their tasty fillets are served as an "all you can eat" favorite in most area restaurants. But it is still the bass fish that promises the challenge of the sport.
For freshwater fishing, all you really need is a pole and maybe a can of worms to catch some fish. When it comes to bass though, it gets little more technical than just that. Bass have been fished for hundreds of years, and we still do not know exactly what they like, we have a good idea though.
There are thousands of tactics that have been devised to catch bass, along with many different tackle set ups. If you asked 10 professional bass fishermen what the best set up to catch bass is, they would all give you a different answer. The best way to learn to catch bass is through trial and error.
If you are fishing for bass for the first time, then artificial bait would be my recommendation. Unless you really know what you are doing you will have a better chance at landing a bass using a lure. One of the more popular lures for catching bass is the Spinnerbait lure, which is used by professionals and beginners.
Millions of anglers go after bass when they are fishing, but very few will actually keep the bass, as they are not considered to be great food fish. One reason why someone might keep a largemouth bass would be taxidermy, other than that bass are usually always released.
