NICE FATTIES!

now that is a nice cow.

i like to catch white perch in the lagoons around my town since i live near barnegat bay. you never know what you'll pull up when you fish brackish water. the pic is a stock photo, my pics are stored in my laptop and can't get a connection right now. they are little but they fight hard, and if u find one you've found them all.

my craziest day didn't even involve catching anything but a seagull. he flew right into my line as i cast a spinner out. now i had a seagull kite attached to my rod until he plummetted into the lake. i reeled him in against the warnings of my girlfriend to try and help free him. at about five feet from my boat my girlfriend was almost in tears telling me to look up... seagulls i now know travel in packs. about 30 gulls were a few feet above my head cawing and getting all crazy like they were going to attck me. alfred hitchcock would have loved it. i had no choice but to cut the line and jet outta there. i watched the trapped bird get up and fly away with my spinner hanging about two feet below him.

beautiful fish everyone. makes me wish i got out more this year. here's a pot belly porker yellow bullhead. not huge but i don't think there's even a state record for them here in jersey yet.

guess this guy has never heard of catch and release? do you eat cat too?

beautiful. good yob

randall , if that is your real name, you look alot like this guy troy...? nice fish.

thanks for all the quick responses everyone. and yes that thing is fugly

my buddies and i went out at 4 am the other day for some striper fishing under the causeway gridge on LBI nj. we actually caught a few sea bass, but no stripers, and then this thing.? can anyone help me out? i beleive it's an oyster cracker?

nice dinks everyone! hee's the hog i got a pic of, but the smallest one i have ever caught was about four inches long on a tad-fry lure. i popped him in a bucket and put him in my fish tank. best pet ever. the one in the pic i caught on a green senko.

not possible. full of crap. i fish striper off of LBI every year and there is no way he landed a fifty pounder on 2lb test. they are just too hard of a fight. and with that light of line, the drag setting would have to be so light that the fish would have just swam away not even knowing it was hooked. he prob couldnt even have set the hook. look at my post in other fish species and tell me u could have pulled that in on 2 lb test, and then add 10 lbs to the fish i am holding.

a seagull flew into a spinnerbait i had just cast out in mid air and became antangled up in it. it was like flying a kite with a fishing rod. i pulled him in to untangle him but all the other gulls started to come to his aid by attacking me and my girlfriend. i had to just cut the line for fear of my own life!! there were like fifty something seagulls swooping at us.

and lots of these guys. u can see the LBI causeway in the background. bass in the salty marshes of nj.

drug my girlfriend out the other day to go fishing at a little "impoundment" right next to the bay. the spot is prob about a quarter mile long an only twenty feet wide. in the summer it is much larger but not till the water level rises. right away we noticed the water was alive with action despite the cold. i didnt even know what i was going to pull out since this spot is an overflow for the marshlands. well to my surprise i did catch a few bass and a few white perch side by side. we totaled about 15 littlfish in about 20 min. by then the wind off the bay had frozen us so we called it a day. everything was caught on small in-line spinners but i couldnt get anyone big enough to go after my senko or any large lures. i also thought it was wierd because around here u mainly see white perch in saltwater, not cruising next to bass. i cant wait for summer!

does anyone know where to get really big spinners? i want to try and use them for saltwater stripers.

depending on the rules of the tourny your in, you should try throwing out a dark green senko rigged wacky style on a bobber about four feet from the float. Its a little hard to cast that much line and bobber, but if u leave it floating while u work other spots with lures, u may catch something nice. It's a little bit of a passive way to fish but i catch a lot of pickerel this way.

what a fat pig. nice

nice fishy

thats what i'm talking about. nice little practice spot that gives up a lot of action. nice.

nice. thats a lot ofwater to cover. lotsa goog places to start ( man made cover) though.

I thought it might be fun for everyone to share photos of thier favorite lake/pond/river that you frequent the most. I kind of feel attached to my lake and want to share it with you. I catch some of the nicest looking fish here of pretty good size. Google earth is a good way to get a good shot of the spot or use one of your personal pics. Hopefully people will be use good BASSRESOURCE.com ettiquete and not try to steal someones spot. Anyone notice the clear blue color of the water on this one, it really is like fishing the bahamas or the keys just by the color. I love spending the day there in my boat. So pleases dont be afraid to boast about your favorite spot, its half the battle of finding the fish.

i love stripers and strippers, the latter takes more money to catch though.

nice fish. beefy.
