BassAssassin726

Because nobody started it in that thread so i started a dedicated thread. Problem?

Im sure everyone has seen the "stuff so and so say" videos on youtube. How about a stuff bass fisherman say thread? Ill start. I swear it was a 10 pounder. One more cast and Im done.

This is hysterical. Got me thinking, Im sure everyone has seen the "stuff so and so say" videos. So how about a "stuff bass fisherman say" thing. Add your entries here!

I think the original Senko is a rip off anymore. Yum Dingers dominate over the Senko for me. Same if not better action, cheaper, and more in a pack.

Nice fish. What did you catch him on?

Mos def. Got any good bass spots?

How far are you from me? I live in Northeast Philly. Near where the Neshaminy Creek empties into the Delaware, thats where that cove is. Right behind Neshaminy Marina.

Hells yea! Do you have a boat?

Theres def a 5 pounder floating around in there too. He rolled on my jerkbait and missed, saw his clear as day, he was huge. What baffles me if how a fish can hit a lure with two treble hooks on it, basically 6 hooks and not get hooked at all. lol

Went this morning for a few hours before the rain. Did pretty well. Caught 3 bass up to 3 pounds on a countdown jerkbait and this nice Catty on a half ounce Rooster Tail. What a fight on my medium action baitcaster with 10lb test. He weighed 6 pounds.

I fished the mouth of the cove and walked all the way around both sides. I always have 4 rods with me. A spinning rod for plastic worms, 2 baitcasters for all other lures and an ultra light ugly stick so I can catch some crappie or bluegill if I get skuned. I throw every kind of bait in my box. Topwaters, spinnerbaits, in line spinners, jigs, cranks, lipless cranks, shakey heads, even some bluegill colored swimbaits. Yea its the delaware. Its a really tough place to fish. Actually its Neshaminy Creek but its right where it empties into the delaware. I've fished sunny days, rainy days, overcast days you name it. Early in the morning, afternoon, nighttime. And I usually only have sporadic success. Spring time I slayed them everyday. Obviously because of the spawn. I'm just hoping fall brings better success. like I said I started the other day fishing the mouth of the cove as the tide was going out, then as the tide started coming in I worked all the way around the cove. On a side note I see that high and low tide are on a 12 hour cycle. Give or take. Like if low tide is at 7am then it will be at 7pm again. But sometimes the tides are faster or slower. The other day the low tide lasted for a long time before it started to rise again. Other days it goes out and comes right back in. Why is that?

Went up this morning. Didnt catch a thing in 3 hours of fishing. I got there as the tide was going out and fished the mouth of the cove. Nothing. When the tide started coming back in i moved into the cove and worked down the sides casting to the middle, nothing. Spinnerbaits, plastics, crankbaits, jerkbaits, jigs, nothing. I worked up and down both sides casting to the middle and along the bank. I cant stand getting skunked. Its so frustrating.

Theres also constant surface activity, i mean all day everyday bluegill are poking the surface, sometimes big carp jump out, although i dont see many bass jumping, like i said the surface activity is all day every day

I usually get there as the high tide starts to flow out and fish until it comes up again. I'm usually on the inside next to the dock on the shore. Its seems like people used to fish there a lot but I don't see many people there. Still I see line, and lures everywhere. It used to be an old boat dock for a returant that has long since closed. When the tide is dead low I can sneak around the sides and fish the deeper middle part and you're right I do better there. Just sucks cause I only have about a half hour or so before the water cuts me off and I have to get out of there. I target all the visible cover, the poles and such and the sunken boat with jigs, plastic, spinnerbait, bounce cranks off the poles. I think the really hot summer has something to do with how slow its been too. I expect it to turn on in the fall. Thanks for the info man, fish on my brotha!

Glenn hit it on the head. Bird flu, swine flu, west nile. If we ran and cowered at every possible virus or sickness out there we would never catch a fish. Much to do about nothing is well said.

https://maps.google.com/?ll=40.079274,-74.907146&spn=0.001769,0.003449&t=h&z=18 I fish this spot a lot, Im on the shore or on either dock on each end. The water is stained, visibilty is about 2 feet. The entire cove is filled with old wooden poles you can see if you zoom in, there is also a sunken boat under the water. I usually do best at low tide but lately i havent been catching many bass. I catch Crappie and Bluegill like crazy but the bigger bass are nowhere to be found. How would you fish this spot? Is this a good are to fish during the fall months. I usually target all the cover there , the poles, the sunken boat. But like i said lately the bass just arent hitting. Little help?

One of my favorite tactics is spinnerbaits around sunken logs and branches. Cast it out past the tree and bring it in, bump the limbs and such. Something that works very well for me is to bring it right into a limb, pull it over and as soon as it clears the limp kill it and let it fall and hold on tight, awesome reaction strikes doing that. You can use trailer hook if you desire but i dont usually. If fish are short striking you need to change skirt color or blade color and that will get them to commit. Id reccomend baitcasting gear because spinning gear doesnt have the backbone to set the hook since spinnerbaits have big heavy wire hooks on them. One thing i learned on here from a video by Glen is buying Lumaflex skirts. Theyre hard to find but if you do find them theyre only like 10 bucks for 100 skirts. They flex and undulate way better than any other skirt in my opinion. Also your cast is everything. Do not overhand cast. Underhand or backhand is best because it will keep the bait low and cause it to gently enter the water. You can do everything right but if your blades are clapping on the surface when you cast youre just spooking fish. Search on here "advanced spinnerbait fishing" lots of good info in that video. Good luck out there.

Lighters Extra packs of Cigarettes And always have a pair of binoculars, never know what kind of cool wildlife you'll come across on the water.

Thats my number one rule with my Jonboat, NO ALCOHOL! I made the mistake of letting two of my buddies go with me fishing, they didnt even fish, they sat there and got drunk and botched when they got a little wet from water dropping off my lures on the cast. Never again. I cant stand alcohol and think it should be illegal. It does nothing to help anyone, its one of the worst drugs in history.

Sorry, all Japanese.

Of course they use Pachabels Canon in D Minor, all **** love that song, as do i.

Everyone is going to say the usual, topwaters, buzzbaits, poppers, jitterbugs, frogs, jigs, cranks, spinners yada yada. Good luck man, ive been out night fishing 3 times this year and got skuned everytime. I just cant catch fish at night for some reason.

X2 Excellent advice. It may sound silly but it works. I did it when i was younger and started playing guitar and drums. My left hand might as well have been dead. Did that for a month and now its the same as my right. Stil do it to this day.

I never got the switching hands thing. I'm a righty. Started fishing with a spinning reel with the handle on the left and just stayed with it when I went to baitcasters. Id rather have the rod in my dominant hand for feel. I can reel just fine with my left hand. Its just spinning a handle in a circle. Lol

Like I said Im broke so buying hooks isnt an option right now. I only buy hooks for plastic worms. And yea, changing a hook on a Rooster Tail is a PAIN! Its not a split ring, its like a wire bent all around. It annoying, easier to just sharpen them. An I do buy good hooks, I usually only buy Trokar lately, they really are the best in my opinion but i cant afford to buy them whenever a hook dulls because 1, im broke and 2, Trokars are kind of expensive.
