Bass-minded

When does spawning begin and end.

Is that you? With a shark? :-)

I took a lot of your advise to the pond the other day. I got there and pounded in a vertical rod holder but then left it there for about half an hour. During that 1/2 hour I caught one bluegill and killed it then cut it in half. Then I rigged it and cast it out as far as I could ( not far ). I then let it sit there for 3 1/2 hours while I continued to fish for bluegill. I also ate dinner during that time. I came back later but there was nothing but my bait. I was kinda disappointed. I had been quiet and all. So what do y'all think went wrong?

So should I fish where the water is fast and has a lot of rocks or where it looks smooth, calm, and slower?

Is fishing for tuna in a kayak advisable?

So will they take Rooster tails?

Fifty pound test doesn't really dig.

What kind of line is good for trout.

Are they predators?

Are spinning rods good for rainbow trout in rivers?

I put 200 yds. braided line on my spool 3 months ago. I have used it every week almost and I have not had it break once. Hope this helps.

Do inline spinners and rapalas work.

Thanks guys! The river I plan to fish is for the most part muddy and cold and fast, but they stock trout in the tailgaters of a dam a few miles upstream. They also stock trout here in town. They only stock them in the winter. So with that said, how should I go about this?

How do you catch trout in a medium to fast flowing, muddy river?

Does wal*mart carry the rapala husky jerk?

Thanks! I caught a 21 pounder on a throwline rigged with a cut panfish. I didn't know that nightcrawlers work, how do you rig them?

First cut around the tail vertebrae as close to the tail as possible. Then use some tree loppers and lop off the bone. The fish will bleed out. Of course it will still twitch from time to time when you are cleaning it.

I fish a farm pond in Tennessee. It has channel, flathead, and blue cats. The lake is about an acre in size and is twelve feet deep at the most. I usually catch the at night on jugs or throwlines. Panfish is the usual bait that I rig them with. I have tried to catch them with rod and reel but they aren't biting. What an I doing wrong?

Thanks guys! The average size of brim are 4 oz. The population of them is quite large. The lake is about an acre.

Another good book is Advanced Bass Fishing. I don't remember the author's name or the ISBN number. It has a lot of good advice.

I live in middle Tennessee, next door to a farm pond. It is stocked with bass, brim, channel cats, blue cats, and flatheads. I can't seem to catch very many bass. They won't take plastic worms or crawdads, buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, plugs, or jigs. The bass that I do catch, are caught on plastic lizards or live worms or live insects. What am I doing wrong?

I have a nice older Proline that the limbs are cracking and delaminating. Is there any place in middle Tennessee that I could get replacements?
