Bassaddiction

Anyone else got any help??

I already did that. I’m looking for local knowledge that would let me know which of the boat launches or places to fish close by that produce.

I am looking to anchor a tin boat on the Susquehanna River and fish for smallies in May. we are looking for a good launch where we wouldn’t have to go far to catch some nice bass. Preferably a launch closer to Scranton. Any help is appreciated!!

No offense to him but thats his first bait caster, so I was looking for more seasoned fisherman that have been using bait casters for much longer.

So I am a DIE HARD Shimano Curado E7/E5 owner, all of my bait casters are the E series. this is the first new reel I am giving a try in many many years. Should be in this week. Wondering if anyone has tried them or owns them? Looking forward to the DC series

So north end is better?? Any lures or colors? I'm going there tomorrow for the first time!!!

Thanks were giving it a go tomorrow, will let u know!!

Any reports for smallmouth bass fishing up there? We will be staying in the buffalo area. This is the first time ever fishing the lake. We plan on mainly fishing buffalo harbor and possibly the river near there. Te other possibility would be presque isle bay if the reports are good enough. Thanks for any help that is given!!!! We start fishing tomorrow, Monday, were driving up now!!

Anyone got an update on presque isle bay?? I'm traveling up today and pondering on fishing it Tuesday or wednesday

I know how to skip with a spinning rod, thats easy. I just pitch alot and always prefer a baitcaster over a spinning reel unless im using 4-6lb test......i just like the extra control with a baitcaster. Thats why I asked the question specifically about the bait caster. im gonna throw on all the brakes and loosed the spool tension. probably let out 50 feet and put a piece of tape in the beginning stages.....

I just wanted to hear from people on how you guys try to skip with a baitcaster. I have tried in the past briefly but I usually always get somewhat of a birds nest. Any particular setups for the reel? Lure? and on the technique.......... I am using a curado e7's............

Any suggestions?

I am planning on fishing it in my team tournaments this season in the early months. This season I am fishing on my friends boat instead of mine and he doesnt throw this rig so its something that I think can be a game changer because it is NOT a popular tactic up here and I'm hoping its a game changer for me. Thanks for the replys. Have you guys thrown it on isolated rock shoals and or rock walls?

Can you still catch isolated fish? I am thinking of throwing this in the pre spawn and I think some fish I catch aren't schooled up when I catch them on hair jigs. This is mainly smallmouth fishing maybe I would be lucky to catch a big largie getting ready to come up but mainly smallies. I was just wondering since I know alot of guys throw this in areas where shad and bass has schooled up but we dont have a whole lot of that here in the Northeast. Any help or ideas are appreciated......

senkos...............

1/8th, 1/4, once in a blue moon a 1/16th but I doubt it..........

Is this rod a good for hair jigging? Its the St Croix Avid 7ft ML Fast: AVS70MLF

Just wondering if there are any articles out there that compared the majority of the alabama rigs out there. I just lost the Manns rig I had and now there are so many available I was wondering if anyone knew of some comparisons. Thanks

I went to lake champlain this past week and I got alot of cuts and was stabbed by alot of these big fishes spines since the culling system clips came off several of them in the livewell. So now its 4 days later and I am getting small bumps lining the fingers that were cut and stabbed. Has this happen to other people? Is it an allergic reaction. Fyi, the day I came home I took scolding hot water to all the areas and used a antibacteria hand wash. Just wondering what people thought.....

Nope not anymore, that brauer jig doesnt have eyes anymore, even though some of *** photos and other sites show it..............anyone else?

I am looking for some quality built jigs with great hooks. But I am also looking for ones that comes with eyes and rattles? anyone know a company that does?

I will be launching out of Plunder Bay Marina which is in Orwell VT. Does anyone have any reports on where the fish are now? Largemouth still on beds? On isolated weed or rocks? Smallmouth still catchable? (large ones) I am fishing a tournament Friday and Saturday and I am also looking for a partner who is a local. If anyone is interested please let me know. My club is Atlantic Bassmasters, it is obviously a team tournament. Please email me at Golfer1659@aol.com if you can fish the tournament........
