Practice, practice, practice
If you want to become an expert angler, you’ll have to put in the time and effort. There’s no other way around it. If you’re looking to become a better angler, you’ll have to spend time on the water. And that means you’ll have to make time for fishing even if it’s not your favorite thing to do. Practice makes perfect, and the only way to truly get better at fishing is to get out there as much as you can and put your skills to the test. After all, you can’t practice fishing from your couch; there’s just no substitute for the real thing.
Learn to read the water
While becoming a better angler starts with skill and practice, it also requires you to be able to read the water. Bass fishermen who can read the water and identify key areas where fish are likely to be are at an advantage over their less savvy counterparts. If you want to improve your fishing skills, you’ll have to learn how to read the water. This means looking at the current and water flow, water depth, and even sunlight and shadow patterns to locate potential hotspots. Reading the water is one of the most important aspects of bass fishing. This is especially true for tournament anglers who are fishing multiple lakes. If you can figure out where the bass will be, you can increase your chances of success.
Catch & Release
If you’re fishing to keep the fish, you’ll have to kill the fish. If you’re fishing to catch the fish and let it go, you don’t have to kill the fish. In many areas of the United States, as well as in various parts of Canada, anglers are required to practice catch and release. This means that you should use the lightest gear possible with the smallest possible hook to avoid harming the fish. And you should use a net to help the fish swim away unharmed as quickly as possible. If you’re fishing in an area that requires catch and release, this is the best way to ensure that you’re not killing fish you don’t need to. And doing so is good for the environment, as well as your wallet, as you’ll likely catch more fish overall if you’re not killing all of them.
Go light and fast
If you want to improve your bass fishing game, you’ll need to go light and fast. This means using the lightest gear you can get away with and moving as quickly as possible when fishing. Heavier gear can be useful in certain situations and for certain fish, but it is often unnecessary. This is especially true when you’re trying to catch largemouth bass.

Don’t be afraid to try something new
When you’re fishing, you have to keep an open mind. You never know when the next big catch is going to come from the next big lure you try. That’s part of the joy and excitement of fishing. There’s always something new to try, and there are always new techniques and methods to experiment with. If you want to improve your fishing, you’ll have to be willing to try new lures, new techniques, and even some new methods. There are countless ways to catch bass, so you should never be afraid to experiment. If you don’t know where to start, watch other anglers and see what they’re doing. There are plenty of YouTube videos that can help you learn new ways to fish.
Rotate your lures regularly
While you should experiment with new lures and other equipment, you should also make sure to rotate your lures regularly. This means using a system whereby you rotate through your lures every so often. This will help to keep your lures fresh and prevent you from getting stale with your methods. Rotating your lures regularly will also allow you to try several different lures and methods without having to buy an entirely new set of lures every time you want to experiment.

If you’re fishing on a lake, you can often learn a lot from the other anglers who are also fishing there. You can also learn a lot by watching videos posted on social media by other anglers. There are numerous YouTube channels, Instagram accounts, and other social media platforms dedicated specifically to bass fishing.
