hey guys, im new to bass fishing and i am fishing at a kinda dirty and kinda clear lake with some grass and rocks.  what should i do to catch more fish?

A good place to start is the fishing articles on here.  Ton of good info for a beginner.  Then get out on the water and apply what you've read.

Watch a lot of Bill Dance.

Don't go out and buy all of the expensive stuff at first get the basics.

You want this to be fun there are a lot of great people here with a lot of great info.

Will you be fishing from the bank or from a boat?

Learn how to throw plastics and crankbaits. That is where I would start.

thnx for the tips. i am fishing from shore.  I have read lots of articles on this site from using jigs to spinnerbaits and such.  But reading and actually fishing are two different things.  So how can I improve my fishing?  Are their other ways to do something different that would attract bass better? let me know alright

Maybe this will help:

+ 1.  Do what the above articles says and you WILL catch fish.  It will make you love bass fishing.  I know lots of ppl will tell you spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, etc.  Those work when fish is aggressive, but that is not always the case.  I have had better and consistent success with worms/senkos!!
