My main goal in fishing is to have fun regardless what I fish for, whether I fish for sharks that weigh several hundreds of pounds, fish for bass, or do some micro fishing.

I use the uni knot for tying a lure and uni to uni knot for leaders.

Rebel Pop-R's are one of the best poppers and they have been catching bass for many decades. They make them in many different sizes and colors so you can choose the one you feel works best in the places you fish in.

There are times a realistic looking swimbait can convince a big bass to bite and other times you can get a big bass to bite on a lure that looks nothing like a fish. What is most important is knowing where to throw the lure you are fishing with and how to use it well.

Congratulations on your new personal best crappie.

Nice +20 inch bass.

Nice catch

Congratulations, that was a great day of bass fishing.

Congratulations on your new personal best smallmouth bass.

Nice catch

If you are good at catching big bass you will most likely be good at catching musky. This was something I was told by a hardcore musky fisherman before I went musky fishing for the first time. He was right since I caught a big musky the first day I fished for them and I caught more of them in following vacations. Having patience and being persistent is far more valuable than anything else when targeting these fish.

Catching big bass in public waters is very similar to musky fishing. You need to know when to fish, what to fish with, and have lots of patience. There are very nice bass in that lake you just have to find out what they like and fish with it. That is one of the things that makes bass fishing so fun.

I did some research on Balboa Lake Park and learned that many species of exotic fish have been caught there. Saw a video of a man catching a very nice bass from that lake and it does not surprise me since the bass that live there have lots of tilapia to eat. Carp can be difficult to catch at times, especially if they have been caught before. Other times they are easy to catch if they are actively feeding.

Nice walleye.

Congratulations on your new personal best bass.

Rapala X Raps are very good for multi species fishing.

I am not a guide but I have helped my family and friends catch new PB's and other nice fish. It is a fun experience but I rather not guide for money and instead I prefer fishing with those that I enjoy their company.
