It is amazing to me that more fisherman do not use live baits to catch bass. You do not need a expensive boat and rod and reels either, many large bass have been caught from the bank using live baits on simple live bait rigs. Some of the largest largemouth bass trophies have been caught using live bait. Actually you find very little fishing pressure from other bass fisherman if you fish for bass using live baits and you can use this fact to your advantage. My article today will focus on two proven bass living baits that I have had great success using to catch some nice largemouth bass.
Fishing for bass using live shiners and bluegills.
There are two types of shiners that make excellent live baits for bass. Both types of shiners are similar in size, but have some distinguishing differences in appearance. They are the golden shiner and the striped shiner. You can purchase either type of these shiners at your local bait shop, but if you can catch them in the wild they are more hardy. You can catch them in small streams in the deeper pools using very small hooks and using bread crumbs as bait.
The golden shiner is much more common in the Eastern States but can be found in the southern, Midwest and Northern States also. Though it has been known to reach lengths of 30 cm (12 in), in the wild the golden shiner is usually between 7.5 and 12.5 cm (3 to 5 inches) long. The body is laterally compressed (deep-bodied). The back is dark green or olive, and the belly is a silvery white. The sides are silver in smaller individuals, but golden in larger ones. There can be a faint dusky stripe along the sides. The anal fin is large and has 8-19 rays, while the dorsal fin comprises almost always 8 rays.
The striped shiner can be found on the East Coast and through out the Midwest and Southern Canada. The striped shiner is a deep-bodied and slab-sided large species of minnow. They have large scales and silvery sides with a darker colored back. They get their name from the series of dark stripes that run down their back and come together in the center of their back behind the dorsal fin forming "V" shapes. They usually have a few dark colored scales which look like dark blotches along their sides.
The bluegill, bream or sunfish can be found all over the US and Southern Canada and they are very easy to catch. You want to catch small ones ranging in size from 3 to 4 inches. It has been my experience that the smaller gills are the best live bait for largemouth bass. Make sure you check with your states department of natural resources to make sure it is legal to fish with bluegills because some states will not allow it.
How to set up your live bait rigs for bass using golden and stripped shiners, and.
1.0 Using the right bass rod and reel combo.
I use a heavy duty open face reel spooled with 15 to 20lb test fireline. Fireline is a bit expensive, but you can reduce the diameter of your lines by 50% witch is great when you want to fish higher test lines. The rod I use is a 7ft heave duty spin cast rod.
2.0 Here is the setup method for a live bait slip bobber rig for largemouth bass fishing.
Before we get started you will need to obtain the following fishing tackle. You will need a 4” slip bobber, a bead and bobber stop, a three way ball bearing swivel, Cut pieces of fire line 12” and 14 inches, a 4 / 0 5/ 0 circle hook, and a ¼ oz bass sinker. Pickup the slip bobber about 4” in length and push the end of the line from your rod and reel combo thru the slip bobber. Next slide the bead up the line then the bobber stop. Next tie on the three way swivel to the line using the top eyelet. Then pick up the 14 inch piece of fireline you cut and tie one end to the bottom eyelet of the three way ball bearing swivel. Next pick up the 12 inch piece of fireline you cut and tie either a 4/ 0 or 5 / 0 circle hook to one end. Then tie the other end to the open eyelet on the three way swivel. Then the last thing you want to do is tie on the ¼ oz bass sinker to the bottom of the 14” fireline you cut. The bass sinker should The bass sinker should be at the very bottom of your live bait bass rig when you are finished.
3.0 Here is how you hook you live shiners, and bluegills correctly to your bass live bait rig.
It is very important how you hook you live bass bait because the bait needs to swim freely to attract the bass. Largemouth bass do not normally hit a dead bait so you need to check your baits frequently. To hook your shiners slide the 4 / 0 circle hook either through the eye socket on larger baits or right behind the dorsal fin on smaller baits. To hook your bluegills either hook them through the lips or right behind the dorsal fin. Make sure that either the shiners or bluegills can swim freely after you cast.
