bradbass

cool thanx for the info.

If anyone knows of ant bass tournaments in Mass please let me nkow!

I have had luck with spinnerbaits with a plastic 4"shad.

I am attending a trout tournament in April anyone have any tips on cathing stalked trout. I have used power bait with small hooks and 4lb test line also used trout worms can anybody tell me if there is a better way.

Thank you for the tips I think I will try the tackle bag. I am going to Bass Pro shops on Friday so I think I will pick one up while I am there.

They wil keep there scent and effectiveness. They are mostly YUM baits some basspro.

This winter I have stocked up on plastic baits like worms,creature baits,lizards and frogs. When I bought all thses baits obviously they came in a plastic ziplock bag but now I have thirty plastic bags to carry around. I want to put them a plastic bait holder from basspro butI am worried that they will all dry out and not be as effective anyone have any ideas.

what kind of paint are you using? I have some old crankbaits that I would love to repaint, eiter a new color or pattern. Can you give me any advice as to how and where I can get the supplies to do so.

My wife usually wants to fish almost as much as me so she is pretty good about letting me get wahtever I need. But I still hear the comments. "why do you need so much " you already have green ones why do you need three colors" bla bla bla, I am just thankful that my wife and kids love fishing its awesome to go as a family real quality time. Last year my son who is 4 started waking me up to go fishing." Dad can you take me fishing" priceless!

Get a trout swimbait and work it off the bottom try different speeds . Find any cover that you can.

Went to the res this weekend only a few small spots with open water. Hopefully a couple of weeks and the ice will be gone!

sorry to hear that. This Walmart has a surprising amount of fishing stuff. But you have to get it all before eveyone else because they dont re-stock anything until next season.

Went to Borders Books this weekend because they are going out of buisness eveything is 25-50% off picked up two awesome fishing book one is all about largemouth written by in-fisherman and the other is all about freshwater game fish what a sweet deal. Check it out.

Went to Walmrt last night, they must have just got there fishing stock in for the season because I have been checking all winter but now they have a much bigger selection . YUM creature baits,crawdad,and lizards all for $1.96 for like a 6pk. Certain spinnerbaits $.99 and a bunch of Rapala on sale from like $8.00 to $5.00 check it out before they sell out!! ;D

try some crappie or bluegill swimbaits

you can count me in.

What is your favorite springtime bait can only pick one. Mine would have to be Berkley babybass swimbait 5". I used it last year for the first time and had spectacular results. Let that baby rest on the bottom and just work it along the bottom nice and slow then BANG!!!

anyone ever catch a walleye in Mass? Maybe in the Merrimack river?

well thats a good sign! Hopefully the rain comming this weekend will wash a lot of the snow away. As soon as there is a hole in the ice I'll be there! CABIN FEVER hate it!

thanks for nothing

From shore this place there is kinda no fishing or boating allowed but i never saw the sign! Its reall under fished!!!!

I fish a small reservoir its shallow prob 12-15ft max real weedy and narrow with tons of brush,branches in the water and surrounded by thick wood so casting is an issue. Last couple of years I tend not to fish it because its so tuff to fish and get arouund but this year I really want to put some effort into it. Any suggestion as what to use??

when the water temp starts to climb above the 45 degree mark the bass will start to move in shallow. When the water hits 55-60 degree the bass will start to spawn.

use swimbaits baby!!

I started using the 5"-7" swimbaits instead of the smaller 3"-4" while fishing at one of my favorite spots in Peabody,Ma I saw a bass about 7"long and it was almost dead it was swimming upside down and sideways all the sudden a bigger bass about 14" comes from no where and trys to eat it now its swimming around with a bass in its mouth which is half it size. pretty incredible bass will eat anything .
