I went fishing on the Miami Canal yesterday an observed fish surfacing all over the place. I could not get a look at what type of fish these were. I tried beetle spins, poppers, and all types of search baits with no avail. Does anyone have an idea what type of fish exhibit this type of behavior. I am also looking for some advice to catch more bass out of this canal. I was successful catching a couple of smaller bass during the day. Will I have to change to the dreaded worm fishing?

What is the most fish you caught during one outing?

I have been fishing the canals of my childhood for the past 3 days. In the past the canals were loaded with bass but all I have caught for the past 3 days are gar. Do gar take over the canals by eating all of the bass or is something else happening? Granted it has been 20 years since I have fished them.

Sweet fish, I hope to catch my first smallies very soon!

The day after eating Brussell Sprouts!

Snickers and a coke.

What are your lake recommendations for smallmouth fishing in southeastern Tennessee? Since I have only caught one smallmouth in my life, I am looking for numbers! I will be going in the spring.

I was raised in south Florida and saw firsthand the "bucket fisherman" mentality. I do however, feel for their plight but the fish are a resource for all people. It is very rarely that I keep any fish for myself but if someone with me wants to keep some I would have no objection if within legal limits. I have even been asked for the fish I caught. In my opinion we have two choices: raise the fee for licenses for more wildlife officers or we can call anytime we see someone not obeying the law.

I currently live in Asheville, NC and am looking to catch some smallmouth bass. My current boat is a 14 ft modified v hull with a 9.9 hp motor. I'm looking for a lake that I can catch numbers of this species. Any help would be appreciated.

I recently relocated to Asheville, NC and would like to fish for smallmouth in the spring. I have a small modified v Jon boat with a 10 horse motor and wanted recommendations on lakes that I could fish with this boat.

2011 Accomplishments: learned to use a baitcaster, caught my first of many fish on a Spinnerbaits, caught my first trout and caught over 120lbs of catfish on Lake Norman in one day. 2012 Goals: learn to fly fish, catch my first smallmouth bass and spend more time on the water.

Done and thanks for he chance to win.

Done.

Blanked again! I can't buy a fish in April. Threw spinnerbaits all morning long with no luck. Maybe I will be waiting until May to fish.

Does anyone catfish the Rez? I was thinking I would give it a try in the morning. I would really like to catch a flathead but have no clue as to what part of the Rez to try or what bait to use. Any general info would be appreciated.

Heading out again tomorrow. Thanks for the update. I will be trying to go from power fishing to soft plastics.

Fished from 12 until 4 with not a single bite. I slow rolled spinnerbaits and crank baits. Launched out of Lake Ridge and went east toward the dam. Later this week I will be going upriver to try to break the 2011 slump!

Anyone fished the Res lately? I went on Monday but had no luck. Planning on going out of Lake Ridge on Thursday and looking for some pointers.looking for bass or crappie. Any help would be appreciated.

Has anyone been fishing there lately? If so, what are they biting? I wanted to know if it is worth the trip from Woodbridge. I fish the Occoquan Reservoir normally.

Has anyone caught any flathead out of the reservoir? I am wanting to get some basic information on where to find and what to fish with? Any help would be appreciated!

Anyone doing this? How hard is it to do? I am tired of paying an arm and a leg for crappy worms at walmart!

Anyone have this line of rod? If so, how does it perform?

I will be fishing the Shennendoah River on Saturday. My question is what types of lures will I need? I have never fished in the river. We will be taking a canoe trip. Any help will be appreciated.

Say it isn't so. I just bought the jig n worm, spinnerbait, crankbait and flipping rods paired with Revo STX's!

I am new to baitcasters and need some advice. I just purchased the following reels: Revo STX 7:1:1, Revo Winch 5:4:1. I also purchased the following rods: Vendetta 7'0 medium heavy and Falcon Low Rider weightless worm rod. My question is (1) do I need to purchase a 6:4:1 reel? (2) what reels would go with what rod? I want three set ups, worm, crankbait, ?
