Fishing with conquest jigs, can be a very rewarding but at the same time be a very difficult way to fish - perhaps more than some other fishing methods for aspiring anglers. But with practice it is always a very effective means of catching largemouth bass. Conquest jigs can be used all year-round, and changed to suit the wants of the bass that are sometimes so elusive. The main thing to keep in mind is the best way to catch any fish is to pay attention to what is already happening - or not happening in their surroundings and them imitate that.
If you are still learning on how to fish with conquest jigs, it is very important to remember that there are a lot of variables you need to take into account in order to choose the correct jig that is going to work for you in specific situations. But remember that the best experience you will get is from casting a line and actually fishing.
One of the most important things to consider when choosing to fish with a conquest jig is the feeding pattern of the fish that you are trying to catch. If the water is cool, such as in the winter or early spring, the fish will be staged out in the open water most of the time, where they will be waiting for the warmer conditions in which they will become more active. The live bait that the fish feed on will be deeper also and smaller since the growth has slowed down, similar to mini-hibernation. The surrounding structure should be taken into consideration, because the conquest jig will closely resemble the food of the fish, so try to make a good match with the conquest jig. If the fish are feeding on bottom food, such as crawdads, try to choose a conquest jig that is about the same size and colors of the crawdads at that particular stage.
The depth that the fish are feeding or suspended at should be a major factor in the decision of the size of the conquest jig, since the deeper you have to go, the heavier the conquest jig must be to get there. Remember that the live food of the fish do the same thing as the fish - it is moving deeper in the cold and shallower in the warm, so always try to follow the food.
While it will take some time to learn everything that can be taught about fishing with conquest jigs for largemouth bass, with enough patience and practice it will be well worth the effort. Every body of water and every weather pattern has its own requirements for a successful fishing trip, and every fisherperson has his/her own favorite bait and way of fishing, but a beginner needs to try his/her hand at all of them in order to find the one that is right for them!
Fishing is something that is enjoyed by many people - whether it is for food or recreation. It is such a family pastime - even if it is just to take your kid fishing.
