The key to locating bass host spots is actually quite simple. You just need to follow the food chain. But first things first...

What Does The Bass Food Chain Mainly Consist Of?

You will find bass where the baitfish are. Minnows and other batifish are what the bass generally eat. OK, that's not news, where can the baitfish be found? Keep following the food chain. The baitfish feed on the Zooplankton which feed on Phytoplankton. So, let's find out where the patches of Zooplankton or Phytoplankton are and we'll find out where the bass (or other game fish) are spending there time. We could go as far as "creating" these patches ourselves and the fish will come to us! (more on that shortly)

Locating the Phytoplankton usually involves just finding areas of direct sunlight close to the shore, especially where there is a lot of green algae. Look at those spots, and if the water appears "stained" with a dark green or even black color, you are likely witnessing a patch of Phytoplankton! And what's happening there? A feeding frenzy and some hungry bass! Also, if you are able to locate lush patches of vegetation along the shoreline with some water runoff, those are the perfect conditions for Chlorophyll to grow. And where there's Chlorophyll, there is Phytoplankton.

You may also stumble across patches of Zooplankton when you are checking around for the dark green and black stains. The patches of Zooplankton aren't always in obvious locations like the Phytoplankton. They are tough to see from above the water but if the lighting conditions are just right you may see a large mass of what look like snowflakes dancing around, dubbed the "dancing snowflakes" by fishermen in the know. These spots are so hot and teaming with game fish that some serious anglers actually go the extra mile and buy specialized cameras that can look underwater for these dancing snowflakes!

So, if you are on the lookout for these patches, you can be sure your fishing will be kicked up a notch or two. Happy fishing!
