So the question is, are some lures or techniques more susceptible to the bass learning them? What lures or techniques are less susceptible to the bass learning them? Any facts, reasons, observations, thoughts or hunches are accepted.

float tubes do alright too. they go on sale at big 5 for $80

good smallie fishing on almanor

Killer smallmouth fishing. my buddy goes there with his uncle who is in the semi pro circuit. mostly getting them dropshotting jackall minnow limitations.

I would live a little more northeast than where I am now. You would have Clear Lake, Lake Sonoma, and Lake Berryesa all within an hour of each other, as well as access to the ocean for salt water. On a side note the delta would probably be 2 hours away. Some of the best variety of fishing all within a couple hours of each other.

i drop shot almost exclusively. a little bit heavier weight will give the bait more action because you can quickly go from a slack line to a taught line without the weight moving. I like heavier weights, its all personal preference as long as you have bottom contact.

6-8 in on shallow water

yeah my granddad had a few choice words too hahaha

gotta love cali. fish all year in comfort

Spring Lake!!!!!! that's my home

IMO it will be a small little lake in California that is regularly stocked with trout. I live close to where another "unofficial" record was caught at Spring lake in NORCAL. The lake is 72 acres and had a healthy population of bass, it was then drained and stocked with trout. Then given a little time and the genius of Paul Duclos a 24lber was pulled out of that little lake. ( http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/duclos.html ) Then comes along lake Dixon, basically a pond like spring filled with trout. It will not be a large pressured and well known lake. The fish will either never strike at anything artificial or be kept before it reaches a WR size. I am not a WR hunter. I am in contact with many people who do chase that dream, some of whom are very successful when it comes to catching trophy bass. They do not look at where big fish are being caught, they look at the DFG website for what lake are stocked with trout. When they go fish that lake they dropshot until they confirm that there is a population of bass. Then swimbaits and glidebaits are their weapons of choice. They will fish for days on end without a bite, yet they are not deterred. Given enough time they will produce trophy bass, given the conditions are correct. I have my eye on a few little lakes around my area that could possibly be the next Spring or Dixon, yet I do not have the skill to pull a WR out I am excited to see how it turns out, because the conditions at some of these lakes match that of Spring or Dixon to a "T".

yes i heard about that too

What is your favorite soft plastic to use on a Carolina rig. Also what hook do you use. Thanks for the replies.

depends on the lake your fishing. a jon boat is a good alternative

They got glass packs and the deluxe model has a cherry bomb. Supercharger included at extra charge.

Yup I still fish out of my grand dad's boat too. Me and my pop rescued it and restored it.

agreed with the fat part i typically use a aarons pro magic or margarita mutilator

got an old clarus for 50 new and put a sienna on it

Here in california nothing stops me!!!!!!!!!!!!

same

Take it to your local high school and give it to the biology class. I'm sure they can help you dissect your frog.

i broke one dragging a snag to the boat

Im taking that quote

Little creepers out of clear lake ca. best ones around. :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Norcal near san francisco water is generally "warm" year round
