does the water look like its going down day by day? if so the bass will begin to congregate around the outer bushes making it easier to cast to them. but if this is a recent flood then the bass will be way back in the thick stuff.

Not necessarily. Depends on several factors. The rod's weight rating, the rod's action, the line being used. So you're saying it's easier to cast light lures with a MH rod. : what he is saying is exactly right a MH rod with say fast action tip can cast light lures just as good

some 14 lb fluorocarbon would be your best bet now what brand to get that's all personal preference.

if your willing to spend the extra $ get a shimano core 50mg amazing reel for for flipping and pitching also can cast light weight plastics really well.

hey guys I am going to getting a curado e5 and I want the best of both world sensitivity and strength, the reel primary use will be crankbaits and some soft plastics. What line would you all recommend (I don't like braid).

the 7ft would be more desirable for pitching and flipping

Once the water cools down, a slow presentation is key soft plastics could work around visible structure, slow rolling a spinner bait might increase your odds. Good luck tell us how you made out!

Being from Canada, Alberta there is not alot of bass tourneys around and I was wondering if you guys knew of any down in Montana. preferably north west area. any help is appreciated!!!

very nice!! my favorite is the backwards craw

dam, you guys are loaded very nice reels!!!

yeah guys what a steal of deal to bad i can't take advantage of it since i'm from canada and they don't ship here :'( could someone help me out and i would pay them the cost/ shipping charge plus pay to have it shipped here

no experience needed except a good layout of the lakes you might be fishing the internet is your friend use it to research about the variety of lakes you may encounter. yes bass club would be a good place to start were things aren't as competitive.

i don't know, when the big females spawn the little males well guard the fry not eating but attacking things that get near the nest? but it's not the spawn so i don't know?

what camera did u use to take those pics ?

if there not were big 0 stated definetly try the main channel, and i would try a drop shot

maybe try a drop shot

i would try a chatterbait you said that the water was more muddier and dirty right than something with alot of flash will get there attention

What kind of line are u using, if it's mono or braid the fish could see it and not want anything to do with your lure give flourocarbon a try

if he was fishing from shore (which looks like he was) it would be pretty hard not to

yeah I have watched alot of bass fishing shows and decided to get out there and try them. I have learned a ton of knowledge without even fishing for them when I heard it was going to be a scorching day I decided the docks were going to be my best bet as far as bigger fish are concerned.

thanks guys, yeah started peeling drag and headed under the dock, but i quickly tightened the drag up and horsed her in, I was really surprised when I saw another one swimming with her probably close to the same weight.

yeah it felt about 4.5 lbs

I didn't get a weight on her though anyone with a rough estimate?

heres a pic of my first bass. I was pitching a pro model jig under some docks and boom fish on.
