Any tips for Bass O'Mania?

[swarley81]

Hi fellow bassers,

I am completely new to bass fishing and actually fishing as a whole.  Some colleagues of mine are going carp fishing on Saturday the 29th at Bass O'Mania and they invited me along.  I suspect I will be the only bass fisherman in the group.

Do you have any tips for me?

What type of lures must I take with and what colours?

I don't have a floatation type of device yet (read awesome bass boat or float tube ) so I will mainly be trying to catch some nice fishies from the bank.

Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Kind regards,

W

I am by no means a pro angler or a pro on this site. I have however realised that most people experience the same problems and with that someone had to have asked how to fix it in the past.

what i do is just search all topics with key words and 99% of the time i find what i am looking for.

What i have learnt is that early morning and late afternoon most pro's would go for surface lures to get the bigger fish. Also that any type of frog seems to be deadly.
