A Guide to Catching Autumn Bass

May 22, 2020 by Jarred

If you are an avid angler who loves to fish for bass, the autumn months are as productive as the summer, although the bass tend to stay in deeper waters during the months of March, April and May. They are found in the river estuaries in NSW and the bass love the shade of overhanging trees, as they patiently wait for their prey to pass by, and early mornings and evenings are prime times for the autumn bass.

Deeper Water

During the hot summer months, the bass will seek out deeper water, which is slightly colder, yet as the summer passes, the bass tend to feed closer to the surface, where the water is a little warmer. As with almost all species, water temperature is critical to feeding cycles and the more the angler understands this, the easier it is to find the fish. If you are looking to buy tackle for bass fishing, check out the Zenaq fishing rods you can use, which will be more than enough to handle even the biggest bass.

Avoid Bright Areas

Australian bass do not like brightness, rather you would likely find them under a tree shadow, waiting patiently for prey to arrive, and the best times to catch bass are in the very early mornings, just as the daylight is breaking, and just prior to sunset. As the bass are so finicky about feeding conditions, when the environment is right, they will binge feed and if you are in the right place at the right time, you can literally haul them out one after another.

Night Fishing

A lot of Australian bass anglers prefer to fish at night, as this is the more productive part of the day, with water temperatures slightly lower, as this is also a time when their prey are most active. Setting out and tackling up during the last 30 minutes of daylight is the ideal approach to a bass night session.

Lures

Of course, there are many variations of bass lures and much like a golfer and his clubs, people tend to develop preferences. Some anglers regard the rod action as an essential part of presenting a lure to a bass – using the rod tip to feign erratic movement, which attracts the predator – so do practice rod tip action. Some bass experts say that a bright, flashing metal lure is best, while others recommend a lure that is made up of 2 or 3 pieces and jiggles easily.

If you try to gather as much information about a planned bass venue, this will help you plan your strategies, and if you happen to meet other fishermen, talk to them and see if you can improve your local knowledge. If you want the best equipment, search online for a leading fishing tackle supplier and you can order online.
