You WILL find are clubs in www.michiganbass.net, look at the left panel on the homepage and they have a link that says club list.

Come out and give me your honest opinion, should i just forget about it, it sounds kin of iffy to me.

I was looking at this boat in my auto trader mag. It is a good looking 1987 bayliner bass striker. The pic is kind of hard to tell what style boat it is, weather it is a bass, ski, or whatever. Have you heared of these boats? The guy that owns it will be gone until next week.

There is a decent (5 acre) sized pond that i am absoloutley dying to get on. I have permision to hunt on some property and they told us about their lake back in the woods. They dont really own it, they own up to it's shoreline pretty much. The guy that owns the lake lives down the road, and has a dirt road/ trail that you use to put a boat in it. I cant fish it from the shoreline that i have permission from, since it is very marshy. I know that this is a good lake, one of the bass clubs caught the biggest fish of the year (in their club) out of it a while ago, i think it was 6 lbs. How should i ask to get on it? I dont even know the guys name.

oh, what type of plastic frogs did you use? Were they the hollow body snagless type, or just the soft plastic ones that you rig yourself. You should also try buzzbaits and frogs like horny toads, bull ribbits, and cane toads. Dont buy yum buzzfrogs, they dont work.

In thick cover on the surface, either get heavy and punch through it, or go light and on top of it. If it is underwater, my all time big fish producer is a weightless super fluke, on a 3/0 ewg hook. Cast it, let it sink a foot or two, then twitch it a few times, sometimes twitch it a lot and rapidly. Gvie it an erratic walk the dog type action and try to work it over the weeds, letting it fall every now and then. If the weeds are a little deeper, use a rapala original and twitch it above the weeds as well.

I can gaurentee its a bass biting your worms. I have heared several ways of hooking wormed bass. 1. Set the hook when you feel the first bump, as soon as possible. The next tap is it spitting the worm out 2. When you feel a tap, give the fish slack and just a couple seconds to hook it 3. A bass will grab the worm, sometimes not all of it, and swim off with it. Stay still untill the fish stops moving, because that is when he gets to its lair and swallows the rest of the worm. All of these were out of various magazines, and number 3 is an older one

senkos are hard to beat in conditions like that. Pretty much any weightless plastic. In my pond, where that stuff is abundant, even 1/16 oz weights will gather snot on it.

Absolute genious. Does it have to be a big fish?

I fish a lake EXACTLY like this up here in michigan. Its loaded with hawgs and pike. The hot ticket is either a spinner bait fished quickly or a johnson silver minnow with a green and white pork trailer, had to be size 11 trailer. Th spoon was the best bet. The entire lake was about 3 feet, with spots around 6

Im just curious how many people here have caught fish big enough to qualify them for the master angler titles/ patches, or whatever you get. I missed it for largemouth by 5 ounces, but it wouldve qualified for a junior one. I never really cared for that though, i want to run with the big dogs.

well, i live in michigan, and i have to go to school everyday, and then track practice, so my fishing has been LIMITED! Also, the screwey weather made it difficult to catch them but......... I roughly caught around 100 bass. Thanks to the 20 fish outing last week.

Where did you get the smallies at? I have only been shore fishing by the dam in berrien springs. I went out 2 times. Once i got 7, the other time i got 8, with my biggest being 3.5 lbs. Not bad for only being out there for 2 hours, or so i thought. I couldnt buy a bite of a crank, rattletrap, spinnerbait, or whatnot. Only of tubes and grubs..........

I believe they are just as good, or even better. They are actually about as soft as a senko, and they wiggle pretty good in the water. I actually had luck with luck-e-strike's jogger worm, wich is as hard as a rock and has no action.

Generally speaking, what will you target and how will you attack it for this time of year. I would actually like to see the difference in opinions from northern and southern boys, so state your position with your answer, please.

bring a net with a long handle. My pond has a problem like that in the good spots, so i have to move the fish into a clearing that i can find.

LBH, how heavy was it? My neighbor caught a 15 lb. on 6lb with no leader.

Its hard to tell from the picture, but im guessing around 7.5-8. Im not too sure about a 10 pounder just quite yet. I just know it will beat my pb, 6 lbs.

I know that they can swim more than fast enough. You cant outrun them with a baitcaster if you tried.

Not all of my fish came from these spots, its just that they usually produced some fish for sure. Ill get one here or there, and maybe 1 or 2 from each honey hole. Its just that there always seems to be at least 1 fish stupid enough to bite in one of those spots.

The begining of the year, i wouldve said 5 since im a michigan fisherman. Good thing i didnt, i already beat that. I know im crazy, Im gunning for that 7 pounder!! Hes in my waters, I know it. As for others, here it goes: Walleye- 12lbs Pike- 15lbs. smallie- 5 lbs. largie- 7lbs. catfish- 25lbs. (easily doable in the st.joe) salmonoid- 13lbs. musky- 25lbs. (going on a guided lake st. claire trip) All are big fish, but i know where it can be done. I have the will and know-how. Watch out.

conditions are normal, weather is steady, i just dont know. The deepest part is probably about 7' or so, its all shallow. I havent had a deep bite in about 1 month, So i have been focusing on them shallow. Maybe they moved to the other, unfishable bank that requires a boat? (its thickly wooded) Or maybe they are just deep.

Its a really private pond, me and 2 other people fish it. Its weird this year. They completley skipped the senko bite, which was great last 2 years. And the tube/spinnerbait bite should be comming up any day. But inbetween those periods, i never fished it too hard. All my fish so far came off of a sweet beaver, 1/4 oz. jig, and a variety of tubes. Ive tried spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and even topwaters. My huskey jerks wouldnt work were the fish were, the weeds. Im thinking of using a floating rapala and twitching it above the weeds next.

Season doesnt open for a while, and even so, i never keep fish from here, or pretty much any lake. The pond is about 5 acres, not really tiny, or big.

There are 2 surefire spots at my favorite pond. The one i tooks a limit out of with beavers, and got a couple out of the other. The next day, i got a limit out of the other hotspot, since the other one didnt prevail. Now none of the fish are hitting anywere. Is it just because i have fished it too much (4 days this week, its spring break) and took too many out?(4,6,7,and4 fish each day) These are the only 2 spots that are consistantly pumping fish out and they just shut down now. Weather has been steady, and my teqniches didnt change until they needed to.
