Super User LrgmouthShad Posted January 3, 2021 Super User Posted January 3, 2021 Hey ya’ll, Hope you all have had a wonderful start to 2021 and are doing well. While I certainly have some goals for learning new techniques in 2021, my main goal for 2021 is to learn more about the fish bass chase and the structure that bass hold on. With that said, do ya’ll have any recommendations on resources to learn about these topics? I’m not picky on format. Can be online, books, videos, whatever. I’d also prefer something that focuses on baitfish that inhabit small ponds and lakes, not shad, since I mostly fish these small type ponds and lakes. But I’d love something on shad too! Quote
Super User Catt Posted January 3, 2021 Super User Posted January 3, 2021 Bassresource has an excellent archive of articles on pretty much any subject. You can start with the "Best Of", which should be at the top of the general section. Glen has them list by subject. I also do a Google search by subject & just add bassresource to the end. 2 1 Quote
Sphynx Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Well, other than here, there is a fairly good number of videos on YouTube about it, you can go as far down the rabbit hole there as you want to, I don't think it has a bottom. I'm not sure about books, I have never sought any out on the topic but I do know that perusing the related threads and articles written here and YouTube videos would keep you busy for a 40 hour work week for at least a few years, definitely agree with that as a goal, it's a far more important one than figuring out specific techniques. 2 1 Quote
mc6524 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Up I think one of the best books out there is “Knowing Bass by Keith A. Jones, PhD. 1 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted January 3, 2021 Super User Posted January 3, 2021 Welcome to bass fishing. Your request for prey and bass behavior is good and a wide ranging topic. Bass are Bass with 3 popular wide spread species that have different behavior traits and prey preferences. Largemouth, Smallmouth and Spotted are the most common. Catts recommendation to utilize the free BR resources is a good start and should keep you busy for a few months. Tom 1 1 Quote
Super User LrgmouthShad Posted January 3, 2021 Author Super User Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks for the recommendations ya’ll. I’ll look into each of them. Quote
Whatever Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Reference "Knowing Bass", by Jones--about $250 on ebay. Evidently it is no longer in print. Quote
Daniel Abram Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Fish the moment on YouTube. Johnny is really good. Has a lot of information. Quote
Super User Boomstick Posted January 4, 2021 Super User Posted January 4, 2021 Bassresource, the TacticalBassin channel on Youtube and In Pursuit of Giant Bass by Bill Murphy are three great resources. Quote
