fishizzle

That sounds awesome... good luck with that Lets us know in a couple months how its going

Good point JWO1124 I wish I had more patience to throw big stuff for 1 bite a day.

Are you near Candlewood? Thats a great fishery

Sounds like an awesome trip Good Luck

Obviously the easiest way to solve the problem is introduce the florida bass to the north If scientists can clone animals or grow someone another arm with stem cells, they certainly should be able to figure out how to make a Florida bass survive the winter in the north Oh wait you still have a longer growing season forget what I said

Bull frogs get pretty vicious for topwater in shallow coves up near the bank And by buddy caught a fishizzle in the upper lip when I was 10 Never trusted novices since then (no offense) lol

Whats up? Glad you joined Any Peacocks down there?

I'll let you know when the lake opens. However theres always a chance that funding is cut so you never know. I grew up fishin private lakes or limited access. Its more fun fishin when a lake doesn't get hammered every wknd PM me

I am going to Orlando, FL March 5 and 6 and I would love to go fishing with someone from the area for bass.. I am willing to travel and hour or so. I can pay for gas, food etc. I am a tournament angler that has some free time while my wife is at a conference. I've been strictly a bass fisherman for 15 years. I can prefish a tourney with someone or check out a new lake with you. Artificials prefered. No pressure to catch fish. Or any guides that are willing to give me a discount just to fish for fun. Or anyone that wants to split a guided trip with me. Thanks, Jim

the problem is when we put them in the live well. It takes only 5 min to empty a bed otherwise I'm ok with it catch and release Studies have shown that heavily fished lakes still maintain a good population based on the sheer number of eggs a bass produces. Plus some bass spawn deep

I use a split shot at the end of my drop shot rig for a slower fall and softer splash in water less than 6 feet deep. Then its easier to add another if you cast into wind or go to deeper water without retying. I tie a small knot at the end to keep them from sliding off. If you are fishing a rocky area you may want them to slide off to save your hook. Sometimes if fishing is slow, its better to not shake it. the worm moves more than you think with wind, current, waves and the fact that you're in a boat your rod moves a bit. I like using 3" senkos in watermelon in clear to slightly stained water in CT for Lg and Sm mouths Good luck

awesome

smallies win for most time out of the water before they get to the boat

thank you

Tell Ike I said Hi Shouldn't be long before I can practice casting too Great discription of the jig in the wood piles Its like I was doing the fishing

thats awesome SV1000---all of it I was asking chasescott but I really appreciate your story Its nice to go out and know where fish are exactly Even if your secret spots get hammered the fish will always return, they just get smarter Thanks

Thanks, thats cool

They may have been Champy pups

Great story. Glad you won that fight It may have been a record in line class

I love fishin Winnie Soooo many rock piles so little time. Go to BASS or FLW websites and those affiliated with them will be listed with contact info. But before you join see what lakes they fish---some may not be that local unless you like to get up at 3 and drive 2 hrs then fish for 8 and drive home. I know I do.

Anyone fishing these events this year? East or West?

I don't want to rain on your tourney but............ I think you need a permit from the DEP...I don't know from what state though Being this late, theres probably another club that already has that spot. Sorry Good luck though. I can't make it b/c my year is already chuck full of events and my wifey would (well I can't say)

There have been several 10's that have come out of a Res in CT near me. The lake is big and private. Not much bass pressure....Most anglers troll for trout I'm always looking for some bass buddies to fish there with me b/c I'm a member and my bass buds are too proud to fish in an aluminum with elec. motor. I am still fishing for the new state record there. Theres definately a 13 there!

Good question Call the Dept of Environmental Protection There is nothing in the anglers guide in CT that mentions that I have a degree in Bio and thats always interested me too But I never put anty effort into it so I'll live through you Let me know how it goes

The Patriots up here will compete in the ice fishing sub-catagory Pike and Salmon count for 1/2 a point Good Luck everyone Catch one for me
