Colorado Bassin’ 101

I know a lot of fisherman in Colorado mainly target trout, but the bass fishing can be excellent at times too!!! During the summer months I spend most of my fishing time on smaller ponds targeting those big old bucketmouths. They bite hard, fight hard, and will have any angler addicted if given the chance.

A lot of trout fisherman have problems making the transition to bass for a few reasons. When you’re used to throwing out tiny spinners and spoons, a big bass plug or jig looks huge. Bass routinely eat bluegills, baby bass, bullfrogs, and even snakes, so don’t be shy about using big tackle…its amazing how many small fish I’ll catch using a big Zara Spook.

Yes, they were the true pioneers – and they wrote the first

by E-NewsCast Team
March 6th, 2010

The ability to Read the Beach is a skill that takes a lifetime to perfect. It is however a necessary skill to acquire as it effectively informs us where to place our bait and increases our chances of catching a fish. The ability to read the beach allows us to identify sloughs, highways, gutters and currents just by viewing the wave action.

Tidal action, currents and the wind cause forces that push bodies of water towards the shore forming waves along the way. The waves push upwards as it passes over sand bars. Sand Bars are bodies of sand that are not fixed and run along the sea shore. Just as sand dunes are affected by the wind, sand bars are affected by the action of the water.

The landscape under the water is more or less similar to the beach associated with it. Notice the landscape while standing on the shoreline
