Well, hey there, y’all! Let’s talk about catchin’ them bass in March, ya hear? March, that’s when them fish start wakin’ up after a long winter nap. Water’s gettin’ a bit warmer, not too hot, not too cold, just right for them bass to start lookin’ for a snack.
First things first, you gotta know what kinda bait them bass are hungry for this time of year. I ain’t talkin’ fancy stuff, just the good ol’ lures that get the job done. See, in March, them bass are still kinda sluggish, so you don’t wanna be throwin’ nothin’ too big or too fast.
One thing I like to use is them whatchamacallits, chatterbaits. Them things make a whole lotta thumpin’ and shakin’ in the water, like a dinner bell ringin’ for them bass. They got that wobble that just drives them fish crazy. And the good thing is, they ain’t too big, so even a sleepy bass can slurp ’em right up. You wanna get the ones that got a good strong hook, ya know, so them bass don’t get away.
- Z-Man, they make some mighty fine chatterbaits. I ain’t gettin’ paid to say that, mind you, it’s just the truth. They got a couple different ones that work real good in March.
- Don’t go gettin’ somethin’ too flashy, just somethin’ that looks like a tasty little snack swimmin’ on by.
Another thing that works real good is them small crankbaits. Them bass, they be comin’ up from the deep water in the lake, lookin’ for somethin’ to eat in the shallows. Them little crankbaits, they wiggle and wobble just like a little fishy, and them bass, they can’t resist ’em.
Now, you gotta remember, the water in March ain’t always the clearest, so you gotta fish like it’s kinda murky, even if it looks clear to you. Them bass, they relyin’ on their feelin’ and hearin’ more than their seein’ this time of year. So, somethin’ that makes noise and vibration, that’s what you want. You gotta make it easy for them bass to find your bait.
Think of it like this: you walkin’ through a cornfield at night, you can’t see nothin’, right? But if you hear somethin’ rustlin’, or feel somethin’ brushin’ against you, you gonna pay attention, ain’t ya? Same thing with them bass. Make your bait noisy, make it vibrate, and them bass will come runnin’.
And don’t forget, cover a lotta water. Them bass ain’t always gonna be sittin’ in one spot. You gotta keep movin’, keep castin’, until you find ’em. Think of it like huntin’ squirrels. You don’t just sit under one tree and wait, do ya? No, you walk around, you look around, you listen for them little critters. Same thing with fishin’.
So, let’s recap, shall we? March is a good time for catchin’ bass. Use chatterbaits and small crankbaits. Make sure your bait makes noise and vibrates. Cover a lot of water. And most importantly, have patience. Sometimes them bass are bitin’ like crazy, sometimes they ain’t. That’s just fishin’, ya know?
But I tell you what, there ain’t nothin’ better than feelin’ that tug on your line, knowin’ you got a big ol’ bass on the other end. It’s enough to make an old lady like me feel young again. So get out there, y’all, and go catch some fish! And don’t forget to bring some snacks for yourself too, sittin’ by the water all day can make a person hungry.
One last thing, remember to check your local fishin’ regulations. Don’t wanna go catchin’ nothin’ you ain’t supposed to, or keepin’ more than you’re allowed. Gotta respect the fish and the water, ya know? Alright, that’s all I got to say. Now git goin’ and good luck!
