Weld's Largemouth

I stayed around for about an hour, i was fishing. That snake was lunch. I have also seen ducks , frogs , dragonflies and other small birds snatched up by bass

Yea i saw a snake fall out of a tree in florida into a pond and wham a big bass nailed it. Never saw the snake again

Yea

crankbait. period

wow you're asking for a lot haha all we need is 2 weeks straight of 60+ degree days and were pretty good to go

yea thats a good sign, up here on the north shore the frozen still, not too bad anymore though its beginning to melt

pffffff who needs a GPS, lazy

I am located on Long Island in New York, and i've been waiting for the past 2.5 weeks for my fishing spots to un freeze, but it is taking longer than i expected. We had about five or six 60+ degree days within these 2.5 weeks and the rest were 50+ degrees and a few were under 40 or around 40. I go to check out my ponds and they are still frozen shut.... why does spring have to come late this year..? and even once the ponds unfreeze it'll take some time to heat that water up....

A fish is a fish, doesn't matter for crap if its caught in "tournament waters"

On your phone, send an email to yourself with an attachment of that photo. Then open the email on your computer and there you got it

For the those of you who are fishing in Florida and not having much luck, you're fishing wrong! I've been fishing last couple days here in Boynton beach and the bass have been nailing anything i toss in the water! Try using larger baits, i caught one on a sluggo, the fish was 22 in, 5lb 4 oz. It was crazy

Hello those of you from florida! I am headed down to Boynton beach, FL this month to fish for largemouth in my ponds and i was wondering how has the fishing been during the winter for you guys. I am sure that it is probably great now, i'd like to hear from you! Thanks **oh my... i put this in the northeast section...its because im always in this section usually, sorry please move if possible.

we got the snow too ago and its still here and cold...

wah

Sweet! There is this pond in the parking lot of the mall near me and i haven't fished it, but i wish to check it out this spring... i hope it has fish in it, it probably does as most ponds in NY do in order to prevent algae and mosquitos

sweet... where was that? toronto?

Have you caught anything there?

What is the oddest fishing spot that you have fished at, and have successfully caught bass at? Mine would have to be at this pond belonging to a catering place, which i had gone to expecting nothing to be in the waters except the swans that lived there... It turned out to be a honey hole of nice fish... no big monsters but i've got a couple nice 17-18 inchers

When i'm fishing with my friend and its time to head home... Friend : I think its time to call it a day.... bite's dead for the night. Me : Wait, let me take another cast. 5 minutes later Friend : Ok, nothing's happening we gotta go now. Me : Ugh! We each get three more casts okay?! Friend : Ha, fine. 1 cast later Me: Okay, so if you catch a fish, any fish, you get an extra cast! Friend : *laughs* 2 casts later Friend : Okay three casts are over, time to go! Me : Let me reel this in.... *reels slowly* 1 minute later Friend : Ok, we had a productive day, got some nice fish, but i'm worn out. *Friend begins to pack up tackle box* Me : Just give me one more cast for good luck... *quickly takes another cast* Friend : ugh c'mon man Me : Hold on, you never know if the fish is gonna take it or not.... 1 minute later Me : Okay, i'm done Friend : Let's go *We start to walk away from the pond* *I quickly take another cast* Friend : Come on! We're going! Me : I need to catch something before i leeeave! Friend : We've fished this spot all day, the bass need a rest! Me : .. I think i just felt a bite! *Lets lure sit out in water* 30 seconds later Friend : Ok it wasnt a fish, just a snag or something... Me : Okay, i'm leaving now lets go....

So you can't use artificials in the late summer or fall, is that what you're saying? I've caught plenty of of fish in those times, some of the best fish

you're fishing this in a couple weeks? fishing for what?

No haha, this is just my first winter since fishing for Largemouth

Hey there! So lately I have had the feeling the winter is pretty much over up here in New York. We already had our peak snow storms and now the weather has been 45-55 degrees lately. It seems quite early and maybe the temps will drop again, but i am hopeful for the alternative. I've got all new gear and lures ready to go; now I just need there to be fish to catch. The ponds I usually fish were probably frozen around 2 weeks ago, but only lightly. The water temperature has probably warmed to the low 40's or mid 40's based off the fact that they had been frozen, but we have received lots of warm rainy days and thunderstorms as if it were March or April, so it may have warmed significantly. Prior to the New Year, I had been fishing at least twice a week at multiple spots, trying all types of lures: flipping jigs, rattletraps, deep divers, jerkbaits, crank baits, senkos and I have worked them respective to the bass’s slow metabolism. During these daily winter fishing trips from November to Late December I caught nothing. After Christmas Break hit I gave up winter fishing, and since then I haven’t gone. The last time I caught a bass was late October and the bass then were slamming! They were feeding heavy for the “cold” winter. This winter hasn’t been that cold, however, as it feels like we have reached our coldest days with a snow storm around New Year’s Eve, and temps dropped to mid to high single digits. All of the snow quickly melted as lots of warmer rain came pouring down in the following days. In late December I actually attempted some bait, I was so desperate to catch something and I normally only use lures/ live frogs , and I still caught nothing. I was looking at future temperature predictions and it’s only uphill with few dips in temperature from here on. I know March is probably the best time to start back up for pre-spawn but I can’t wait any longer. I’ve tried multitudes of hobbies to help distract me from my fishing addiction but its hasn’t ceased my pain. I’ve bought new gear, put fresh line on reels, spied on birds, scavenged google earth for ponds and underwater structure, worked out, ran winter track, watched people catching lots of nice Florida bass on YouTube, studied weather predictions to plan my first day back in action and did school work. I hope this winter is pretty much over Thanks for reading! Thoughts are much appreciated!

Thanks to you all!

i buy new lures, put fresh line on my reels, look on google maps for new spots, spy on birds (cool photos: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/129090-during-the-dead-winter-when-i-cant-fish/), scout out new ponds, buy new gear, dream about spring, watch videos of people fishing, post on this website...
