Bass (fish)
Bass (/bæs/;pl.: bass) is a common name shared by many species of ray-finned fish from the large clade Percomorpha, mainly belonging to the orders Perciformes and Moroniformes, encompassing both freshwater and marine species. The word bass comes from Middle English bars, meaning "perch", despite that none of the commonly referred bass species belong to the perch family Percidae.
Many species are also known as basses, including:
Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass are the most popular game fish in North America. Appearing commonly in 33 states.
Bass fishing is also very popular in South Africa, Japan, and Cuba, in other areas where the fish are introduced. They are often found in lakes, rivers, creeks, and near dams.
When fishing, lures (bass worms), live bait, spinner baits, jig bait, jerkbait and crank bait will work well. Lures that mimic baitfish, worms, crayfish, frogs, and mice are all effective. Fishing with a small mepps or rooster tail in-line spinner is very effective for creek fishing, when bass are scouting for small baitfish.[better source needed] In open water, lures that cover the water quickly such as spoons, spinners and lipless crankbaits.[clarification needed]
During the fall and winter months, bass will be less active and eat less. In this situation, one can fish with suspending lures or slow lures like ned rig, suspending jerkbaits. In the summertime, one can throw lures that float or sink 2–4ft since bass come to shallow areas and prefer faster lures. One of the better times to fish for bass is spawning season as they are on shallower parts of the water as well with being more aggressive towards anything near its eggs. Depending on weather conditions it causes the fish to move to different spots of water, With harsh sunlight and extreme cold they go deeper in the water whereas cooler temperatures they go to the shallow areas.
