oh yeah I almost forgot about yesterday morning. We were working next to a VERY small pond and were just messin with some dinks. Well my buddy was fishin and he caught his first dink and it threw the worm. Well lazy as he is he didn't want to walk back to the truck to get another worm, so he tossed the hook back in the water messin with some mayan cichlids and managed to snag one. He skin hooked the corner of it's mouth it was crazy. Then he tossed it back in the water and let is swim around, next thing you know we see a bass come chargin the thing and the bass hit it from the head first and knocked the hook loose and hooked himself at the same time. It was awesome. ;D That was the first time I have seen one fish caught on just a hook and then that fish lead to hook another fish

No, my buddy holding the fish is a big guy, 6'3" 215, and we have caught and weighed in plenty of fish at local tourneys this one was definately between 4-5 lbs

I am a surveyor, and occasionally I get a chance to fish (more like darn near every day! ) 8-) Well today we were working along a drainage canal and my buddy spotted a nice bass. The canal was nearly dried up and there was only about a foot to two feet of water in it. So I grabbed my pole and tossed him a Zoom worm and after the second cast Bam! he nailed it! I wish it would have been in more open water so I could have fought him a bit though, he was at the bank in about two seconds flat! But it was nice to land him too ;D I only have a picture of my buddy holding him because when my buddy took the pic of me holding him he forgot to save the pic to my phone before he closed it. > Oh well, Still not a bad day of work huh!! we figured him to be about 4.5-5lbs what do you guys think ?

Lucky you, now you can fish from your couch : Seriously though, I hope all of you affected by the flood are safe.

hey welcome, I am fairly new my self but I can tell you already, this place has an outstanding bunch of people.

Wow this has been a pretty unanimous reply, however I think Davis said it best, it is fun to learn new presentations. Thanks you guys.

That makes me feel better. I know I can catch on plastics, I mostly use senkos or zoom finesse worms and they work well, I was just curious because I am trying to learn to fish other typer of lures and have had somewhat limited success so far. I'll geep on tryin I guess.

I went out today after work fishin some canals and first tried a cheap black colorado spinnerbait ( I caught a 1.5 pounder yesterday on it, just one)...nothin. I tried a small popper, caught darn near every weed but still...nothin. Then I tied a t-rigged finess worm with a 1/16 ounce bullet and a bead between that and the hook...bam fish on! nothin all that big, mostly a pound or less but one was about 2.5 lbs. was it just the way they were feeling today or is there something to plastics where they seem to go for them more often?

Hey fishin buddies, any of you in the cape coral, ft myers, Fl area?

the article section is how I found this place, I was just looking for some tips and I liked the articles so much I decided to join.

Hey BR, I am a new Bass fisher from SW Florida. I have fished all my life but pretty much all saltwater for snook and grouper. however I have a buddy who is a big bass fisher and have started to really get into the sport. I hope to learn a bunch from you more seasoned vets.
