I am new to fishing chatterbaits, and no matter how often I throw them, I just cant seem to get bit or catch fish with them. Any advice on set-ups, line, technique ect. would be greatly appreciated. Thank y'all in advance

Spinning, I just updated the original post. Thanks for pointing that out.

I am looking to pick up one of these spinning reels this weekend, for finesse fishing, but I would love to know the differences between the 2 besides the weight. Thank's in advance, Troy

I have a tournament at Lake Folsom on February 16. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to give me any advice for that tournament. I am pretty new to bass fishing, about 6-7 months. Any advice would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Move near Sacramento, California the coldest its got the winter so far is 39.

Thanks, I still can't believe I got second. If only we caught a 4-5lber we would have got 1st and won some rods. 1st place had 13lbs 9oz

I had a High School tournament at lake Camanche on November 24th. It started out really slow, with only a bite here and there. At around 9:00 we found a school, and started using dropshots right on top of them. I had a 4.5 inch BPS Cuttail worm in the Green Pumpkin Magic Pearl color. That bite lasted till probably 9:30 or 10:00. Then after that, no more bites. My partner and I probably caught 25-30 spots and largemouths in that time frame, with 5 or 6 doubles. We ended up placing 2nd in the tournament with 11lbs and 1.9 ounces. I also caught my PB and first spot, which was a 2.5lber.

Thanks for the advice. I will have to look at Google Earth and probably some topo maps

I just found out last night that I am fishing in a high school fishing tournament on the 24th at Camanche's North Shore. If anyone has any tips for me, they would be greatly appreciated. I am newer to tournament fishing and any tips would help. Thanks to everyone in advance. -TroyCopeland05

Sorry man, I didnt go to Clear Lake and usually I thank people in advance. If I actually fished the places I asked for advice for, then I would post how I did. But usually, I can't get a boat for the tournaments that I want go to. Thanks for the tips though.

Going to Clear lake for a fishing tournament this weekend. If anyone has any advice or places to fish, it would be greatly appreciated. I am newer to bass fishing and don't know everything yet but am learning.

Headed to New Melones on Sunday for a tournament. Was wondering if anyone has been there recently, and if you had any advice for me that would be great. Thanks in advance Troy

On the 29th, I am going to Buckley Cove in Stockton for the FLW Bass Pro Shops tournament. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. Thanks in advance. Thanks, Troy

I know I have already posted about this previously, but I am going to Tahoe tonight and am wondering what I should bring if anything. I will be staying at Kings Beach and I will try to catch anything that is biting. I will take 2 spinning rods and 1 maybe 2 baitcaster combos. Thanks in advance for any advice. Troy

I live about an hour away. Thanks for the tip. Now just need to get that jig
