In response to beaverdam question: I was out there this weekend. nothing. i did find some structure straight out from the mt hope road entrance, where the old bridge used to be. was holding a dozen fish in about 15 feet of water. none of em cared about what i had....

anyone fished there? I have heard stories of it being the best lake in the area for Largemouth, and I have heard stories that they havent kept up the bass population and its a terrible place....

good stuff.thanks fellas

I purchased and seem to do pretty well with a mann's -1 crankbait. my question is, as i reel in, it looks to me like he swims like a crankbait on crack. like if a normal crank bait swims towards me, it goes left-right-left as it comes in. the mann's goes waayleft-waaayright-waaayleft. it doesn't look natural. is that normal? best way to describe is: |------|------| (other cranks) |----------------|----------------|(mann's)

roosevelt island is not bad either.

ive canoed at hunstman with my trolling motor, and no one has said anything.

well thats nuts, and i really am not good at fishin! every saturday and at least 1 other evening a week, and im maybe at 150 or so heheh congrats on the good season so far.

we were there saturday on a canoe from 5am-11am. 0,zip,zilch. tried the coves,shores, 10-20ft deep. tried everything, cranks, soft plastics, spinnners.......... the water was 78 degrees, that mighta had something to do with it

1291!!!! how often do you fish?

thanks for all the great responses.

A few more response to questions, Im using a 6'5" rod, med action. my worms are the standard berkley worms, nothing special, i do notice the ends of em are all torn up.

well, amazing response. thanks all. The hook size i use i believe is a 5/0. either way on a 7 inch worm, the hook comes through just past where the worms heart? is. so that leaves about 2 inches or so of worm dangling. From what im reading, the bites im feeling feel like they may be dinks nibbling. Lets see what i can do this weekend.

Anyone have any good info for this place. I hear its pretty good. any tips would be greatly appreciated. going to hit this place saturday.

Ok so i have really gotten into soft plastics. Im wrigging the worm, usually weightless, with the hook being just barely sunk into the back of the worm, so its weedless. ( texas rig) I have been getting tons of hits on it. It goes a lil something like this: i feel the rod hit, bam, bam, 1 or 2 times, then i see my line moving, so i give er the whole heave ho, and nothing. Im guessing the fish is biting on the part of the worm hanging off the hook, the extra 3-4 inches of worm under the hook. How can i land the fish thats doing this?

Thanks for the info, I saw some good stuff on tv about the spro frog. Imma check those out.
