A Few Bass Facts:

 

Their body temperature and metabolism are controlled by water temperature. The warmer the water, the higher their metabolism. Bass are most active in water about 60 to 75 degrees. Below about 50 degrees, their metabolism slows down, causing them to eat less. Changes in water temperature affect shallow bass much more than those in deep water. Bass often school, so if you find one you are likely to catch one or more in the same area. Bass tend to be near the bottom unless oxygen, water temp or other factors cause them to “suspend” and different depths. Bass like live prey. They prefer to lie in ambush for an unsuspecting victim. Most bass will use cover to ambush and to provide security. Bass tend to be near cover, structure or changes in sunlight and water color.
