June traditionally heralds the opening of the bass season. Coupled with the fact that most people take their holidays in July and August, and that bass are found almost everywhere, (the Maitland River being one of the prime spots in Ontario) kids and adults alike can look forward to some relaxing fun filled summer days ahead. The largemouth bass is of course the king of the bass world, but for my money, the smallmouth is the scrappier fighter. Both, however, respond well 'to the same fishing techniques. Probably the most universally used and the most consistent producer of big bass is the plastic worm. When worked skillfully around stumps. logs, rocks, or weeds, the plastic' worm Will outfish any other bait 2 to 1. It does, however, take time and practice to learn how to use it properly. The best bait without a doubt for the beginner to use is the 'common minnow. Just cast the minnow near any potential snag or weed bed and let mother nature do her work. Hellgramites can be fished in a similar fashion, but require More work to keep them 'from crawling under a rock. Big bruisin' bas,s Spinners, spoons and plugs will also produce bass if you don't mind losing a few on snags. The best bet, however, for the evening or early motnitig fisherman is the popper.• This lure is designed to float with a concave face. when the lure is twitched, the trapped bubbles make a little "bUrbble" and attract feeding bass to the lure. This is generally only' effective, however, when the sun is .off the water and the bass have moved to the surface to feed. • Both the smallmouth and the largemouth bass are particularly good eating, especially when caught early or late in the season. They do, however, tend to become "wormy" during the hot summer season. If a fish is wormy, chances are 9 out of 10 that it will show up in the gills. Look at the gills when you catch a fish, and if you see white spots (even one or two) on them, the flesh is probably infested. The parasite, while it is not infectious to humans and is destroyed in cooking, makes the prospect of eating the fish rather unappetizing. Don't let this deter you from fishing for bap however. Even if you release every one, or just go trying for that one big lunker, you're in for a whole lot of fun.
