Top Four Tips for Your Bass Boat Fishing Trips
As your local bass boat dealer, we here at Nobles’ Marine know a thing or two about making your fishing experiences better and more memorable. For example, we can tell you how to use your vessel to get to the right spots and return home with a handful of fish! That’s why we have rounded up the top four bass boat fishing tips below. Read on to learn more, and for more information, visit us at our dealership in Crystal River or Leesburg, FL.
1. The Right Spot
The first tip we recommend to our customers is getting to the right spot. Usually, bass prefers areas where they are covered, like the places that have rocks, wood, boat docks, and other items that can conceal them. Use your bass boat to reach such locations, where you’ll have more chances of getting the biggest bass.
2. The Right Bait
Next, you’ll want to think about the bait that is ideal for your bass boat. Typically, bass enjoys a variety of prey—from shad to bluegill. Try to find a lure more similar to its regular diet and increase your chances of quickly finding the best catch.
Also, you'll want to use fast-moving baits on cloudy days and slow-moving ones on days when the water is colder.
3. Don't Scare the Fish
In addition, you’ll want to be careful while riding your bass boat to make sure your vessel doesn’t scare away any potential catches.
If it is possible, use an electric trolling motor and cruise around at a constant speed. Also, limit your use of an anchor and avoid employing shorter casts, as they might scare any fish nearby. You can also use the wind to your advantage as it encourages bass to come out and bite. The wind ripples the water's surface, making it less likely for the fish to notice your presence.
4. Boost Your Bass Boat
Finally, you’ll want to outfit your bass boat with the right accessories to make your angling experiences more comfortable and successful. Though there are plenty of available aftermarket upgrades, you can start with these.
Fishing rod holders make it easier for you to spend hours on the water waiting for the biggest bass to bite the bait. A rod holder keeps your rod secure and in place so you can rest your hands awhile or have your food.
A livewell keeps your catches fresh so you can continue fishing without the need to return to the shore to store them properly. Livewells come in various sizes and types, making it easier for you to find a model that fits your bass boat well.
You can also check out depth finders, which help you find the perfect spot on the water by providing you with real-time information about the depth of the water.
We hope these bass boat fishing tips help you make your angling experiences more fun and memorable! For more ideas or help upgrading your vessel to the latest model, visit Nobles’ Marine. We’re in Crystal River and Leesburg, FL, so stop by today.
