10 Orono Weekly Timet., Wednesday, June 21, 5.000 V This week I was unable to make a fishing trip, so I'm going to share somé tips on bass fishing, since bass season season opens this week Saturday, June 24. I hope to be up at my friend Darrftl Kennedy's cottage cottage for the opening of bass season, if Tm not working. As of June 24, all fishing seasons wi 1 be open, and it well be legal to keep any kind of fish within the regulation limits, When angling for bass, spend most of your time fishing fishing in 5-15 feet of water. Sometimes bass will go deeper deeper in scare i for food, or to escape sunlight. When bass are in shallows, they are most likely formel near cover, especially especially if cover is near.deep water. Bass most often hang around lily pads, hyacinth (type of Weed), or hanging trees, stumps, brush, bridge pilings add board docks. Good condition for catching catching largemputh bass consists of warm days, heavy rain, near spawning time which is June and early July. In spring, warm days are good for fishing fishing largemouth bass especially especially after 2-3 days of sunny weather. Dark skys bring bass into the shallows to feed, but thunder thunder will scare them back into the depth. During spawning time, male bass are eager to strike and will hit anything that comes close to the spawning bed. Flat calm mornings and evenings also offer excellent surface fishing conditions. The following are all great baits for bass fishing: soft baits (grubs, worms, etc.), jigs (jig and pig, jig and worm, etc.) spinners (spinner baits, inline spinners, etc.) top water (poppers, buzz baits, etc.), crankbaits (lipless, deep diver, etc) and spoons (weed- less spoons, jigging spoons, etc.). When angling in the morning morning or late afternoon, use fast retrieving lures because that's the time bass really feed heavy. Use top waters, spoons, spinners or crankbaits. My favourite lure is the tiny torpedo, it's amazing amazing watching your top water fly across the surface when a huge bass niiils it from underneath underneath and jumps out of the water. When fishing between 8:00 aim. and 8:00 p.m., slow down fish cover and don't give up. I like to use slow baits like a jig, or a soft bait like a worm. Cast to shady spots like docks, lily pads or beaver lodges. When fishing at this time, bass are inactive because of the sun and heat. Bass don't like bright sun because it hurts their eyes. Scientific name for large- mouth bass: Micropterus Salmoides. Scientific name for small- mouth bass: Micropterus _ Dolomieu.
