Bass don’t like to have to hunt for their food. They tend to stay pretty stationary as they wait for their dinner to come the them, or swim past. Then, boy then they attack!

So once you find a spot where the bass are attacking, stay put and catch as many as you can!

Well as many as are legally possible.

Bass rule in Oklahoma and you can catch ‘em.

First thing you need to do is: GO FISHING!   You can’t catch ‘em sitting in front of the computer or the tv!

Grab your license, grab some gear and lets go fishing!
