joeblowwwww

I can save ya a lot of time and frustration. buy a bag of senkos catch some fish and from there spread out to learn the other techniques of bass fishing.

premium member on Fish Brain.... what a joke

Ha! I'm just kidding nobody was saying evil. trolling for bass has never been my favorite but to each his own.

Evil !

Punching and frog fishing are the best things about bass fishing..... enjoy it. treble hooks suck anyway

Maybe with no fishing pressure they can hear and sense you from a mile away? slow dragging a Texas rigged senko will always work

I wish I had known earlier that dragging a soft plastic behind the boat at 40mph would catch so many big bass. Can't believe I wasted so much time on dropshots and swimbaits.

I try to save my body for the real thing! if you ever fish more than 10 times a week you learn to let your body rest

WRB! this guy has more info about bass fishing, bass behavior, lake-reservoir knowledge than anyone I have seen on here. and being from Ca it's nice to hear regional info.

what about California?

Catch 22- I think the bass just adjust. if any body of water can provide what they need they will find it. Further North is right a lot of the times the water is cooler than the surface water even 2 or 3 feet down in some ponds. I'm sure Tom (WRB) will have some insight but it kinda sounds like you're just trying to guilt yourself into some uncrowded action ?

just to update it, Loch Lomond received it's first trout plant early this summer. my home lake

Maybe that's how NJ LMB are. here in Ca once in a while ya get the old 1 who knows the catch and release deal but thats why I fish

I do a lot of pond fishing and I'm sure the bass is in the grass during the day. sometimes the big females go to the middle bottom in the daytime.

Happens a lot in pressured lakes and ponds from my experience ... long pauses I find usually attract more strikes but a lot of times they just bump it. snagged frogs on vegetation or the pond scum layer ripped free will give you that big hook up every time but I find it only works once for an area so you have to plan

I know what he's getting at. somebody catching a fish in his local waters and coming out with a big claim. it's obviously not him. Id say 5 lbs. b4 a big turd

weightless senko or a Pit boss

the sinker is good for penetrating grass etc. other than that let it sink free,

sounds like YOU care,

sharp hooks can make a big difference !!

no offense man but that is 1 of the dumbest questions i have seen on here....

I use Fish Brain... its a piece of crap with a bunch of guys posting fish with the worst weight guesses. but it lets me know whats going on at different spots without having to call anybody. 1 guy had a fish that was about 4 lbs he posted as 13. unbelievable. Ha Ha

seen a bass eat a baby duck in 1 gulp... don't let your women see that 1 if you can help it.

always alone... I fish twice a day 6 to 7 days a week and maybe I fish once every 3 months with someone.
