My son and I are fishing every day now and the bites been fairly consistant. I hear a lot of people in my neck of the woods complaining that it's slow, just curious how it's going in other places. we fish a really nice little pond that's just full of Bass so this may be why we are doing so well... We live just off Cape Cod, MA and the weather has been great. I'm really enjoying my new PQ reel/Berkely shock Rod, and my Pflueger President/Abu Garcia Vendetta that my son gave me for Fathers Day. Here are a couple of fish I cought so far this weekend. Lets see what you have been reeling in !!!

Here is one I caught a few years back out in my canoe when I was about 125 lbs heavier..... I weighed in at 325 lbs just to get an idea as too how big this bass was. It weighed in at 8.75lbs my PB....... I sure wish we had a better camera at the time but we were using a 35mm disposable.

Congrats on the catch, the weight loss, and a great son!
But to answer your question, the fishing in my area has been good. At least where I fish.

Thanks....... I feel so much better without all the extra weight. It took almost two years to get it off but it was really worth it.

What area are you in?

Here is my son with a couple of his.

It's either super slow in NC right now or I suck at fishing

Nice catches! Looks like you have a great spot.

It has slowed in a couple spots but one is still fishing good. And when I say slowed I can usually get 1 or 2 instead of 4 or 5 in an hour.

Depends on where you are fishing. I've had great days and lousy days in the last few weeks. My best days have come from a local private lake. It is shallow, stained and littered with patches of lily pads. The bass DESTROY topwater lures around dusk every night. I think its partly due to the lack of fishing pressure and a great bass habitat. Also the lake is not very large so there are more fish per acre and easier to find.

I recently went to a clear, deep lake with virtually no cover on the shore. All the good fish must have been holding up on underwater structure/contours. Without electronics they are tough to find. I had to work to catch a handful of dinks. All came on a drop shot with a 4" roboworm.

I am in Cincinnati. Hotter than, {fill in the blank}. Nice looking water. Keep your son fishing. Best partner you will ever have. I heard someone say once, if you want a good fishing partner, build your own. That's what I did. I started taking my son fishing when he was 6 yrs. old. We still fish together most every weekend. By the way, he just turned 48 yrs. old.

Despite the triple digit temps we've been experiencing every day for the past two weeks the fishing has been surprisingly good.

Getting out today for the first time in a while. The heat wave is gone. To answer your question though it's been mixed reports around here. Pretty much 50/50 good/horrible.

I started him fishing early, and he's been at it ever since. Here he is in his younger years, and now look at him above.. how the years fly by.

The main lake i fish at is really slow, but today i went to a different lake and me and my dad caught 15 bass in just 2 hours.

I am not catching a thing in my backyard pond when I was pulling big ones out consistently. Idk what's going on but it's frustrating

not to sound rude, but you'll hear fishing is "slow" from the guys that don't know how to evolve with the seasons or know where to find them. you aren't having that problem because you have it figured out.

Not always true....I fished a tournament Friday night with my club that has some very VERY good fisherman. 11lbs won. Sometimes when it gets hot the fish just slow down. We have been catching 20lbs every tournament. Has nothing to do with evolving.
