Thanks for the report Vekol, I have a tournament there on Wed. night. If you are intersted in fishing it shoot me a PM. Anyone can enter it. It is an open Tournament. -Nitroman

When the dog days get to you pick up a jig or a deep crank and fish it slowly and erratically. Deep water is where they are right now. Give it another few weeks and you should have such better luck when the water starts cooling down and the fish start moving a little shallower.

Well this is not that uncommon. I fish with a huge 12" culprit worm all the time and everyone always looks at me like I'm stupid but I have a secret honey hole and once that worm hit the bottom almost every other cast I will hook one. I have only caught one big bass on it but many bass the same size you are holding there!

I fish heavy cover out on the Potomac River all the time. One thing I have learn is to break through the thick stuff. One way I have gotten through it was by taking a tube hooked weed-less and a 1 oz. weight pegged with either a slipsnot or a toothpick so it doesn't move from above the hook. Take a rattle and put it inside the tube. Once the bait hits the top of the weeds shake it until it starts decending to the bottom. Once you are at the bottom just start shaking the rod tip. Don't jerk the rod tip up that will not be very effective. It is really dark under the grass and the fish will be attracted to the sound. You do not want to cast out as far as possible you just want to toss it out about 10-15' into the weeds. If you throw it out too far and you hook a bass it will be too difficult to get the fish to shore. As for the type of line I suggest you try braid. It will help you get through the weeds without breaking your line. This is a very difficult method of fishing but it can also be the most rewarding. If the tube doesn't work well for you then try another bait that doesn't have many tenticles. The reason for few tentacles is so the bait will get through thge weeds. One last thing is to add any type of lubricant/scent so it will slip through the weeds. I hope this helps you. If you own a boat, another thing you may want to try is take an anchor and drag it through the weeds one evening until you have made a few holes in the weeds and then try fishing the holes the next day. -Nitroman

Nice looking Cats!!!!!

It happens a lot. I've caught them on crank baits also. I've caught them on pretty much everything even a finesse worm!!!

Nice looking Cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Luck to you!!!!

Banjo Minnows are killers!!!

Wished I lived down there it is hard as hell to find someone to fish with all the time!!!!

KVD is the man!!!! I'm not jumping on the band wagon in any ways but like I just stated... HE IS THE MAN!!!!!!

Well Put Sam!!! I agree 100%

HAHAHAHA I have never seen that before thanks for posting that I needed something to laugh at!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

What the hell!!!! Why isn't FORD an option??????????????

I was just talking to the old lady about this show last night. I have been wanting to watch this show for a while but I figure jumping into now would be a little to late and I would get lost.

I do not know everything about fixing boats up but I did do some work on one of the boats I owned a few years ago. I used only pressure treated wood.

Well BassChump just keep your chin up!!! Your a great guy and you have came so far since the last time I have heard from you!!! I'm happy for you and your daughter having such terrific luck out there!!! Keep it up and post some more pictures for us!!!! Take Care buddy, You are in my prayers!

Spinnerbaits are the key in the fall. Yea you may catch some with a swim bait but you will have much better luck throwing a spinnerbait. Another thing I like to throw is deep diving cranks deep to shallow bouncing it off the bottom.

Fun fishing is always the best. When I fish a Tournament I always rush myself but when I am only having fun I take my time and just go with the flow. Its too bad that you didn't enter but overall the children were the real winners here!!! Thank You for what you did!!!

Welcome Home!!!!!

X2!!!

Nice!!!

You said it right there!!! But as for the damage to your boat I wouldn't worry about it since it is such a shallow scratch. If I was you I would put the boat in the water and fish for a while and every now and then check for any water coming in the boat. Besides this little mishap how has your fishing been going BassChump??

I use 3/0-4/0 hooks for all types of soft plastics. I fish alot of 10-12" worms and I use 4/0 hooks for them.
