found a nice spot on the chatahoochee river next to my house in atlanta was was talking to a few guys that where fishing for carp the say the catch 6-17 lb carp and cat fish i asked if they ever saw bass and they said yes. So when fishing for bass on a river what aprouch should be taken do you cast down stream and reel up. and should i bee looking for cover like in a lake???

I ment if you use a peice of line attached to the main hook and pull something else like a worn or somethng else.

do you put the trailer hook right over the other hook or do you use a leader??

anyone use them they where on sale at walmart for .97 cents from 2.98 so i picked up the last one i found light green.

while in fla a few months ago i saw the same thing being new to bass fishing i threw everything at this school of fish. turned out to be some alge eating fish the locals called mulets or something

Thanks i will try to find the toad hooks before my next time out and when you say "bead" do you mean like a split shot weight???

How do you rig the horny toads do you t-rig them or c-rig them or what and what types of hook do you use

If i had to guess i would as about 7-10 acres and it is very low usually there is a island in the middle but now i can walk to the island and everything that was underwater when pond is full has a lot of old spwaning beds average 10" wide so i know something is making the beds i WILL get fish out of there. even if my wife threatins to leave me because if there to much LOL ;D

I have goten what i think are bits and when i throw a spoon or the little flys with the spinners on them i can see the fish following it somethimes but no bits I know there just has to be some desent fish in there and i will keep trying untill i get something out that DAM pond LOL

dont know if someone posted this already if it has been posted sorry

Whats not going to work

I fish or sould i say i wet my lures at a local pond here in atlanta for the last 3 months for about two hours a day and 4 hours on the weekends and have not caught anything but a suntan. i know i just have to get that first one out the way and the rest will be easy but until that happens it just sucks. i tryed top waters, buzz, spinners, t-rigs, c-rigs, and nothing has worked. can someone please come here and prove me worng. i cant ask the locals because i never see anyone fishing here( maybe thats a hint lol) but the pond is a nice size and walking distance for my house. maybe someone knows how i can get it stocked and it will be my little secret. of course i will tell you guys ;D. please some one put me out of my misarie

they say fish stumps and laydowns but fishing from the shore i lost alot of lures trying to get them close to the stumps. i lost a few jigs and some spinners i havn't tryed weight less worms or tubes. would this be a good idear??

I have a question about used plastics i bought some from a pwan shop for penny some zoom yum and berklys all different kinds some were kind of dry is it a good idea to spray some fish attractant( Baitmate) into the bag and seal the bag back up.

how do you rig a tube skirt up or down and i will be fishing from shore at a local pond with no cover only a island in the mibble and a few blown down trees near the middle

do you guys use anything with them like worms or tubes like they do with jigs or is the buzz and spinner enough would the plastics make them to heavy??

maybe its because the fish stilldontlikeyou lol

when i heard of it i thought it would be bad for the fish and water i wonder if it would make the fish easier to swallow after you cook it LOL

I dont know if this was ever talked about before but did anyone ever hear of spraying WD-40 on a lure as a smell enhancement

do you use a slow or fast retrivel i have the red ant one also. thanks

anybody use these spinners and if so what color and what are you catching with them i just got the red and black on will try this weekend thanks

what about zoom brush hogs and ikas do you or can you T&C rig them also

great video helped a lot had a few questions about t-and c- rigs myself

do you guys use any swivels or snaps when you are setting up your rods. i see a lot of people tieing the hook directly to the line in the picks on the forums.

Back when i lived in N.Y. I worked with a guy named Danny Demary he was the biggest bass fisher man i knew i lost his number after he retired from the company and i was just wondering if he was a member of this forum. so if anyone knows him tell him to send me a message thanks
