Understanding a few things about Largemouth Bass can make you a more successful fisherman.

- Largemouth bite best when water temperatures are in the 60s and 70s. They're most active under dim - light conditions. On bright, sunny days, they usually tuck into dense cover, where it's difficult to get a lure to them.

- Because of their non - selective feeding habits, largemouth will eagerly attack practically any kind of artificial lure or live bait. Even so, a good largemouth fisherman must be versatile. There are times when the fish want topwaters and times when they want deep - running baits.

- Another important consideration is the type of cover. In heavy weeds, for instance, you need a bait that won't foul or hang up.
