The journey to becoming a better bass angler is a series of small steps. Here are 10 bass fishing tips that will send you in the correct direction. Let me know what you think!

 

 

Good one Glenn. That said, I think you do a great job on all your vids even though

I don't usually comment.

Another good video Glenn.

Anyone can talk the talk few are good listeners.

Awareness of your ecosystem is so important. One or possibly the best tournament bass is Rick Clunn the Zin master. Clunn is a great listener to his surroundings and observer of other anglers, always learning.  

To catch the predator your need to know what and where the prey is.

The only thing I can add is wear polarized glasses look into the water and see the bass and what’s going on below the surface as well as above it.

The only way to stay with it is to keep learning. As soon as I feel like I know everything there is to know about anything, someone always points something else out that I didn’t know. And the person who points whatever it is out, might not even know that much themself.

i need to ask a question about this - 

 

i have polarized sunglasses. one set is from berkely, the other from oakely.  i have had other brands in the past.  i have always been able to see under the water  better without them, than with them. how does that make any sense? is there some sort of eye problem that could make it so? 

You are lucky to be able see through sun glare that polarized glasses eliminate. Dark grey glasses cut bright sun glare, amber cuts lower light on cloudy days and highlights shades of green to contrast fish from cover.

There is a lot more then seeing under water it’s what you see that is important. Look for activity of baitfish, crawdads and predators fish. Look for differences in aquatic plant colors and types. Look for bass following your lures or simply cruising. Look for life both above and below the water.

Polarization depends on your position relative to the sun. An easy way to demonstrate this is to look up into a blue sky and you'll see the sky is much darker blue in one direction.

 

In some situations, polarization doesn't help to see fish at all, and the tint on the glasses actually make it harder to see underwater. All polarization does is cut through the glare, and it only works at certain angles. They can help a lot, but they're not magic.

 

Brand doesn't matter when it comes to polarization - that part is the same on all polarized glasses, it's the glass/plastic, frames and tint that vary.

Can someone post a list of the 10 things?
