I like to use zoom super flukes when the bottom is scummy. You get the weightlessness of a soft plastic with the erratic action of a jerk/crankbait. You can also fish it a different depths and rig them weedless.

I caught a 10 lber on a square bill crankbait out of a 3/4 acre pond on a golf I used to live on in FL about 5 years ago. I also caught a 10 lber out of a 1 acre private lake in GA last year on a 10 inch power worm.

Watermelon, black and blue, green pumpkin, and pearl white (for flukes).

The bass may be overpopulated in the lake. This causes an over abundance of small fish with very few big fish.

I used to fish with senkos, trick worms, brush hogs, and crankbaits. I caught plenty of fish with those baits out of retention ponds.

I first learned to fish from my dad. Then I began watching multiple fishing shows and read fishing magazines. I still use my dad's techniques, but incorporate the professionals way of fishing in too. Essential it becomes a unique style all my own that I feel works very well.

My wife loves to bass fish. She has always fished with a spincast or a spinning reel. We are going on a fishing trip in Dec. with some friends. All of us use baitcasters and she now wants to use one. I brought her one and she is learning slowly. She can throw it about 25 yards now, but still gets some back lashing occasionally. She has been using one of my 7 ft rods. She continues to improve with practice. As for setting the hook she is about 50/50, but it is better than it used to be. It all comes along with experience.

I usually have the most success with a crankbait, a Texas rigged worm, a jig fished on the bottom, or a spinnerbait slow rolled in the middle of the day. I had a little success with swimbaits, but you need to figure out the depth of the bass with different retrieval speeds.

I'm from the Savannah area. A lot of my friends and family still fish it, but they always catch and release there. I know one of my friends has caught numerous 5-6 lbers out of the river.

I went Saturday and Sunday. It was a great time. I have only been living in this area for a 2 years. I never thought they would pull that many largemouth out of the Delaware. Byron Velvick was fishing right beside my condo the whole tournament. I say him pull out a 4 pounder. Guess I will start trying to bank fish more around my place.

I grew up in South GA and I grew up learning to catch largemouth from my granddad and dad. I also got into redfish about 6 years ago while living in FL. Largemouth are still my favorite.

Welcome to bass fishing! One of the greatest thrills. I agree with the carbonlite combo. I have a carbonlite rod and bps qualifier set up and it works well for me. I love throwing jigs around cover, but you can fish them in multiple areas with multiple presentations. have pulled some big fish out with them. Try tossing a trailer on your jig too.

I went on a bass fishing trip with my best friend. We went to El Salto where there are plenty big bass so I figured I would be at least close to my previous personal best of 10 lbs. I caught 4 in the 8 lb range and multiple in the 5-6 lb range. On our 3rd day there, I was fishing by a large tree with a 10 inch black and blue power worm Texas rigged and pulled up an 11 pounder. Needless to say I was pretty pumped. I also caught the largest fish of the trip.

Hey y'all. I am a new member, but have been stalking the boards for a while. Currently living in NJ, but born and raised in GA. Hope everyone is experiencing some good fishing.
