I am Reading an article in the North American Fishing Club that’s about catching bass in any water condition, written by Steve Price.
I am a bass fisher, i don’t care to much for catfish, brim, or even crappies. i like to bass fish, and some times finding the bass can be difficult, if you don’t now where to look. But it can be even hard to catch bass in different types of water. So i hope this article will give you as it has me, a better understanding of how to fish in any water.
Extremely Clear
Visibility: At least eight feet; sometimes 20 feet or more. Typically occurs in the lower end of a lake where the water is deeper.
Tactics: Spring and fall are the best times to fish ultra-clear water because bass will be moving to shallow, During other times of the year look for slightly off-colored water, or heavy cover or vegetation that will hold fish shallow. When its really clear, look for steep, fast-falling points, channels leading to spawning flats, and submerged road beds bass can use as staging areas before moving shallow. Fish then with a jig or deep-diving jerkbait. Natural patterns that mimic real baitfish and other forage typically perform better than bright, gaudy color schemes. It critical to note that–contrary to what might seem logical-extremely clear water doesn’t mean shallow water is off limits. In fact, even on a lake like Powell or Mead, where most of the water looks like liquid air, you can find bass surprisingly shallow. Top water lures work well under these conditions befor the sun climbs high, but after that switch to small plastic worms or jigs in shaded coves.
