here is the best advice i can think of to give anyone that is just starting bass fishing. to be able to consistently locate bass anytime of the year, you need to learn the seasonal patterns of bass for the area you are fishing. bass will always be where the food is, so this is the best place to begin. example would be right now. we have two classes of bass to persue. those that are staying with the deep shad schools, and those that have remained shallow. i fished the kimberling city area a couple of days ago. the shad schools were 60 ft. deep plus. once we got on the right shad school, it was like a chinese fire drill. we did spend some time probing for shallower fish. we did manage a couple on jerk baits, but it was a lot of casts between bites. the deep fish were ganged up in more numbers, and were much easier to catch because of competition. and, as i stated before, most of the bass will be where the most food is. learn the seasonal patterns, and look for the food source. you will be on your way to catching more bass.

there's a good chance of actually sight-fishing a big female that is guarding her nest.

That would be dad, female bass ain't great mothers.

I think anyone wanting to start bass fishing should concentrate on plastics. Rig them weedless and fish them fast, slow, different colors and styles and you'll learn a lot.
