Try something Different in Bass Fishing

Firstly, I am a hardcore fisherman. So in my blog I will occasionally write a little bit about fishing tips and strategies. So I hope you enjoy another random blog about bass fishing.
Trying to do something different on the water is easier said than done. Most decent bass fishermen know the advantages of trying something different from the rest. But just knowing to do something different and then actually doing it are two different things.A lot of times we consider doing "something different from the rest" as something completely opposite, when in fact, if might just be we need to focus on the little things. For example, maybe you are fishing some shallow grass beds on a really calm day. Maybe you've caught a few good one's, but the bite has slowed down considerably. Instead of switching lures or locations, try cranking the motor and go out in the middle of the water for a few laps around to stir up the grass. A lot of times this will get the bass and especially the bait fish moving in the water. You might not believe me, but I've done this countless times and caught a few more good fish that would not bite until I stirred them up a little. Bass are always looking for a chance to catch an easy meal. When bait fish are moved from there safety place and out into the open, the bass will in turn pounce on the chance for that easy treat.This example can be true in many different scenarios. Many people think that it is against all fishing rules to drive over your fishing location. While this may be true for some bodies of water, it might not affect another at all. Especially when it is a highly pressured lake. In these types of water, bass are used to boats roaring past them and it does not bother them as much. These less finicky bass may be more susceptible to hearing a loud, clanky trolling motor. This would then make the bass more finicky.The main thing is to not always take absolutes(things that we consider to always be true in fishing) as the only way to look at a problem. We should always question what is going on in our fishing environments whether that means wind, temperature, water clarity, lure choice, seasonal patterns. Just because it is the middle of the summer, don't assume that all the bass will be in 10 plus feet of water. Just because there are jet skis zooming all around your location, don't just pack up and leave. This could be a blessing in disguise. Finally, never take anything for granted, and you will hopefully have much more success in the future.
