As we have discovered throughout thethe years, there is a lot
more the bass fishing than meets the eye. Once you are familiar
with the species, different bodies of water, different and
sophisticated fishing and angling equipment and accessories, as
well as familiarizing yourself with habits, patterns and nature,
behavior, natural diet and preferred foods, mastering some basic
skills like preparation, presentation, tackle, bait and lures, casting
accuracy, knots, hooks and the intricacies and complexities in
retrieval and landing, the journey has but started. There is so
much more to explore and learn about an through the activity,
sport, art and competitive science that is bass fishing, that we
can almost say no more than the water await and let’s go!
Although, there are some last thoughts we can offer on some of
the more common casting mistakes. These ‘errors’ are well documented in existing literature and easily overcome, to optimize your bass fishing experience and haul. Here are but a few issues most beginners struggle with:
(i)overshot lure with too much power in the initial cast and the
line release not slowed, or (ii) the lure falling short or being too
light, with the line being release too early during the cast and or
the rod held too high after the line was released. (iii) lure landing
too hard, due to the release at too low of an angle and not
arching enough in the air , and (iv) inaccurate casting (the most
common) – missing the mark, where the lure goes off-course with too much side-to-side action/motioning of the rod while casting. Practicing reel and line control, as well as the overhead cast might help.
