Largemouth Bass and Wind

Largemouth Bass and Wind

The wind can play a huge role in bass fishing. A steady, light wind will
congregate minute organisms to near the shoreline or along cover.
Bait fish will be close by feeding on these organisms and the bass will
be there to eat the bait fish. Most bass fishermen want a very light
wind or no wind when fishing for bass, although, some advanced
anglers know how a good chop on the water can help push baitfish
towards certain shorelines or into a specific channel or bay where bass
will most likely be cruising close behind.

A light wind adds a little ripple along the surface allowing bass to cruise
the shorelines without being so spooky and it is easy to maneuver the
boat and position your baits. With no wind, bass can see a top water
bait from a distance. No wind can help produce some of the best top
water fishing days you'll ever have. During very windy days, large
lakes produce waves too big for smaller boats to be on the water. It will
be uncomfortable to fish and some times dangerous to be on the
water. High winds will stir up the water in shallow lakes making the
water turn to a brownish color. Fishing is typically pretty tough when
the winds kick up the lake and leave it a brownish color. With wind,
some is fine and too much can make fishing very tough and even
dangerous.
