How and where do I fish for guppies?
It seems like you're asking about fishing for guppies, which are actually small tropical freshwater fish commonly kept in aquariums, rather than a target species for sport fishing like bass. However, if you're interested in techniques and strategies for fishing species similar in size or behavior in a natural setting, I can certainly provide some insights based on bass fishing tactics that might be adaptable.
In bass fishing, especially in the context of smaller or more elusive fish, anglers often focus on areas with ample cover and food sources. For smaller fish like guppies, if they were to be found in a natural or larger body of water, you'd likely look for calm, sheltered areas where these fish can hide and thrive away from predators. This could include weedy areas, near submerged logs, or other structures that provide safety and food.
For catching smaller fish, light tackle would be essential to match the size of the fish. A small hook, light line, and a tiny bobber could be used, along with very small baits that mimic the natural diet of the fish, such as tiny insects or specialized micro pellets if in a controlled environment.
While this isn't directly related to guppies in their typical environments, these general small-scale fishing tactics could be applied to similar scenarios where small, cover-seeking fish are the target. If you have more specific scenarios in mind or are targeting a different species in a natural setting, feel free to provide more details!

Where to Catch Bass...In My Opinion - JT Kenney by The Bass University → wouldn't go in four or five feet of water and go to the thickest grass i could possibly find because they need light to penetrate to their nests so the eggs will will uh will hatch well therefore so this is how we're kind of putting the pieces of this puzzle together so we know we want to be in four or five feet of water let's find some thinner areas in the grass so we can get some light to get the eggs hatched we're putting it all together so we got clear water we got a little bit thinner areas in the grass we got about the right depth that's how we're putting things together and you and of course in summer time it's going to be a little bit different but i'm just i'm using this as an example so we can all be on the same page here go ahead and go one more on there for me now locating the productive areas scroll down just just a hair locating the productive areas now go back down please down there you go okay so when we're locating the productive areas in there um points pockets holes ambush points it all it all goes to the same kind of thing as we're building where we think the fish should be we got it in the words like i said we're going in a spawning type deal any place where there's little open holes and stuff in there

Where Do Bass Go In Spring? (And How To Catch Them) by TacticalBassin → it you want that spot that's got a little bit of a saddle that baitfish are going to move through they're going to sit right there and ambush them if you've got one of those southern reservoirs where it's got a big river and then you've got those fingers that come off right where that finger goes to leave will be narrow and then it opens up into your spawning Bay they'll be right there at the narrow point sitting on the secondary points that make it narrow they will be right there it could be anything else it could be the mouth of a marina it can and even in these places you will have man-made structures people have come in and cut canals from marinas or anything else anywhere that they have cut back where you get a narrowing that's a prime spot anywhere that to secondary points are across the arm from each other coming out into the water now underwater but the actual deep water is thinner than it would be in the rest of the arm pinch point fish both sides of that does that make sense it's really simple because you have so much water do you want to choose the places that narrow that water down that brings us to natural lakes natural lakes the advice is almost the same except that your fish will be coming up primary points into large spawning flats now the size depends on the size of the

The Best Baits For Finding Fish, Proven to be Effective | Bass Fishing by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → Glenn: Hey folks. Glenn May here at BassResource.com. And welcome to another edition of Hank Parker's
fishing tips, where he answers your questions. And this one this week, Hank, it comes from
Tracy from Rhode Island. And she says, "I would like to ask Hank how
he goes about finding fish. I'd like to know about his process of working
the fish that he finds. And do you have a bait order that you'll work
through based on the time of the year? Or do you just go with what your gut? Hank: Well Tracy, I like that. That is a great question. And how I go about finding fish, I have learned
fish in like 44 states in three foreign countries. And a bass is a bass regardless of where you
go. They're always looking for food and cover,
and always in that order. With the exception being the spawning season,
where they're looking for shallow flats with sandy or rocky bottom. So let's say, any other time than the spawn
I'm looking for a bait, and I'm looking for cover. How do you find that bait? Well the birds. The birds will show you where that bait is
at, almost all the time. If the birds are not showing it, you look
for it on your electronics, and you can find the bait. Then determine what structure is right here
where this bait is at. Whether it be gobies or whether it be threadfin
shad or whether it be bluegill.

Spring Jig Fishing: What You Need To Know | How To | Bass Fishing by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → What I mean by that is when the water temperatures
have just peaked into the mid to upper 40s. So, real early...late winter, early spring,
the bass are beginning to just begin the migration to the shallow areas where they're gonna spawn. So, in this time of year, I'm looking at still
main lake or deeper water. Places I like to look at main lake points,
some of them secondary points, ledges, drop-offs, humps, water that's around the 25, 20-foot
zone on average. Now, my neck of the woods where the fish sit
and they set up camp in the wintertime is around 45 to 55 feet deep. So, it's relative, get an idea of what I'm
looking at, it's in the 20-foot zone area during this time of year. Maybe a little bit shallower in your lake. What I'll do is I'd like to find points that
have steep drops, or humps, or ridges that have steep drops on them. And I find those by looking at a lake map
at home, break out a paper map, and I'm looking for those contour lines when they're really
close together. That's what indicates a real sharp drop, those
are the areas I want. I mark those and I find out what the GPS coordinates
are on those and I put those into my GPS unit on my boat. Then what I'll do is, when I'm on the lake,
I go to those spots and I graph over the top of them, and I'm looking for any kind of cover
that might hold fish.
