It's hard to know where to start when setting up for bass fishing. Your tempted to use a bigger setup such as...

a longer rod,Bass Fishing Tips For Beginners Articles but this can make it hard to know when you've actually caught a fish. Using a light rod and reel is the ideal setup for beginniners, even with one-pound bass fish, because this allows you to struggle with the fish and learn how they move.  Only after you learn this should you prepare for stronger rods and reels.

To stock your gear, start with only what you absolutely need. Don't buy everything available just because you think you might use it -- learn to use the basics, such as crankbaits and spinnerbaits. Choosing natural and bright colors is key here. This is because fish are naturally drawn to bright objects. Using natural colored plastic worms will also do the trick, allowing you to another medium for catching bass.   

Similarly to the way you set up your gear, start fishing in small lakes and ponds first. You catch smaller fish, but the experience will be invaluable when you move on to bigger bodies of water and bigger fish.   And if you've heard from all the pros, bass love to hide.

For beginniners, it is sometimes frustrating to sit on the boat for hours with no success. The best approach is to keep alert -- look around at objects that in the water, including...

boat docks, piers, or bouys. Learning to identify objects quickly will help you spot bass in the long run.

When it comes to crankbaits, there is much to be said. With a crankbait, you can play with the speed and depth to find what works best for you. In clear water, smooth movement with no surprises is usually your best bet.  In muddy water, however, varying movement will attract fish, so you have to learn to adapt your strategies to the water type.

For starters, use bait scent and try casting repeatedly with a colored lure - these may provoke fish to attack. And remember that if you can make the lure swim realistically, your chances of a catch will also increase.

Catching bass can be both fun and entertaining. Just be careful where you cast -- you may get your lure stuck and lose it, which will cost you both money and time. Again, start slowly and instead of learning the tricks of the trade, learn the trade itself. Once you master the basic techniques and land small fish regularly, you can move on to the big ones with ease.
