Bass Fishing Techniques - Looking For The Best Tips And Strategies…
Split-shotting has been around the fishing scene in one form or another since the inception of putting a worm on a hook. But, it wasn't really popularized until the early 80's as a viable means for presenting a plastic worm. The technique was formally developed by a Southern California angler by the name of Dick Trask. He developed the technique in order compete in local team events on the heavily pressured lakes of So. Cal. His method worked so well that it enabled him to be "the" major threat on the water at all times. He won or placed in almost every event he fished until his secret technique came to light. Since then, the Split-Shotting Technique has become a mainstay on the tournament circuits in the West and a few other states.
Fishing the split-shot rig is very simple. It can be fished in water as shallow as 1' to water as deep as 90'. All you do is cast the rig out, let it sink to the bottom, and slowly drag it back to the boat. When working the bait back, some people like to use the reel to work the bait. Others prefer to drag it with the rod. In any event, the best way to hold the rod while working the bait is to hold it at a 90 degree angle to the line. This will give you better sensitivity during the retrieve.
Another way to work the bait occurs during very windy days. In most worm fishing techniques, it is difficult to feel your bait during windy conditions. But, the split shot rig can be easy if you use the wind to your advantage. All you need to do is cast your bait into the wind, let it sink to the bottom, and work the rig by allowing the wind to slowly move the boat. You do not need to reel. By using your trolling motor, you can control the speed of your drift and thus, the speed of your lure.
Although the rig was initially developed for use on heavily pressured lakes with small (3-4" baits) finesse plastics, any size bait can be used. In California, the common baits are generally 3-5" long. But, many people are using 6" and longer baits too. Some may ask, why not use a Carolina Rig for the bigger baits? Well, that is an option but for the subtlest presentation, the split shot rig works the best. It has a minimum of hardware associated with it and you can use a very light split-shot for extremely shallow water fishing.
Freshwater Fish Identification is another technique used by anglers. Detecting the bite is the hardest lesson for a bass angler who is learning to split shot. The bite varies with the activity levels of the fish. At times, they will pop the bait very hard, making you aware instantly that the fish is eating the bait. At other times, there will only be a soft and nearly imperceptible tick and thereafter nothing.
Finally there is the much dreaded pressure bite, which takes two different forms. The first form of pressure bite is where you feel a little bit of resistance to pulling the line forward. It feels like hooking a spongy and soft rubber band. The other type of pressure bite is where contact with the bottom is lost. When a bass fish has picked up the lure and is merely following along with any of your forward movement. It is the reason as to why the maintaining of bottom contact is so important.
A sweep set is the preferred hook set to be used with this technique. Once you detect a fish holding the bait, drop the tip of the rod towards the bass, reel down till the point where you feel resistance or just short of it and horizontally sweep the rod away from the bass fish.

Questions & Answers about Plastic Bass Fishing
What is your favorite plastic bait for bass fishing?
Also, what areas of a lake or pond should i fish in the evening. Is fishing off a small dock good for bass?
Don't over complicate things on small bodies of water.
I'd grab a half dozen 1/8oz, half dozen #2 or 3 hooks, a bag of 6" Red Shad worms, and a pair of plyers and keep them all in one of my pants pockets. You can fish all day like that.
Hopefully the pond will be away from wood, weeds, and anything other thing that prevents you from fishing a sizable portion of the lake.
Just spend a few hours and fish your way around the lake. Make a few throws into some grass, then around some logs, etc. Normally if it looks like a place a fish will be, there will be one there. If you catch a fish, throw it right back into the same spot and really work the area. It's not uncommon to catch a half dozen bass right in the same spot.
Just go and "play around"
Plastic worms vs. Crankbait for bass?
I'm relatively new to fishing, and to say the elast, sick as hell of pulling up countless bluegill! I want to start catching bass, and across the boards people have recommended crankbait and plastic worms. So I bought both. For one, my crankbait is NOT sinking to it's supposedly 4 feet of depth, and the worm isnt getting many hits at all. I read up on some techniques and look to implement them next time out (with the worm). Any advice on how to use each of these? Thanks all!
Well those are obviously 2 totally different baits which require different techniques. They are both very productive baits when the time is right.
I'll start with the crankbaits. Crankbaits are nothing more than a shad imitation to start so fish them accordingly. I like to reel a crankbait in with a stop and go type of retrieve. Normally that brief pause is what triggers a lot of my strikes on these baits. This time of year you will more than likely do best throwing a shallow running crankbait (6-12 inches roughly). Most places are just getting the constant warm temperatures which is warming the water cnsiderably. Warming water causes Bass to move and feed in shallower waters, mainly on shad so the crankbait is a very good choice in my opinion although I tend to like Rattle Traps better. Now, after Summer sits in and the water is very warm, like up in the 80's constantly, Bass will move to deeper water to feed. This is when you're deeper diving crankbaits will come in handy.
For your plastic worms it's not as easy to explain. There are so many different styles of plastic worms and so many different ways of fishing them. For example, you have Texas Rigging, Carolina Rigging, Wacky Rigging, Drop Shotting, weightless rigging, etc. The over all most productive way of fishing a worm is to Texas Rig it, very simple rig I may add. It's nothing more than your worm rigged up weedless with a bullet weight above it on your line. Google it for instructions as to how to rig it up.
When fishing it you need to fish it pretty slow. When you cast it out, let it sink to the bottom and raise your rod from a 9 o clock position to about an 11 o clock position, then reel up your slack. Never reel in the worm itself, but the slack after raising your rod from the 9 to 11 o clock position.
Also, don't be afraid to throw into cover, in fact you need to if you want to hook on to fish. Stumps, docks, rocks, logs, weeds, shade, etc all hold fish all year long.
Again, I don't know what kind of worms you have so the Texas Rig may not work for you at the moment. For the Texas Rig you need a standard curly or ribbon tailed worm, not a straight stick worm like the Zoom Trick Worms and Senkos. Regardless, you need to fish the Texas Rig, it will produce fish. If you don't have the right worms I'd suggest going to get them in about a 7.5 inch size.

Look at that link there. Wal Mart or anywhere carries Culprit worms for a great price. They are my favorite worms to use and have been for years.
