Got this bass this morning. Was killing it 20+ bass and this was biggest. Other biggest was 20.50 inch and many many 18-20 inch. So I did not bring a scale only a measure. This fish is 22.50 inch long. I did not even think they got this big here. It was unreal to me to catch this fish!! So 22.50 inch can you figure how much he weights?

I always start with top water like frog or poppers or twitching floating minnows strike king sexy dog.

Oh man yeah thats right a spinner bait! I had a bunch with me too but it didnt cross my mind. I never caught one on a spinner bait but been buying them most are still in package at the bottom of my tackle box. Hopefully I get back there soon and get to try this out.

Place I fish at has tons of weeds all along shoreline. Right at the weed line and for 10-20feet I see blue gills popping all over going nuts . I figures that the bass are hunting them so I threw my rapala minnow and pulled it through and got a nice 14inch bass. After that I kept trying all over where the blue gills were popping but I got nothing but blue gills. I tried jigs to get under and they didnt get any blue gills but the bass would not bite them either. The floor in these spots is all deep weeds too that come up high so its hard to fish there anyway. Probably 10-15 feet deep with thick weeds coming up maybe 5 feet of clean water but some spots where weeds come almost to surface. What is a good way to fish this situation?

Yes I was there yesterday. I got there around 6am and fished until 2pm. I got a lot of bass one really small one then the rest were 12-18 inch bass. Got one on a original floating rapala in the open water by weed line the rest were in the green muck with a frog. The blue gills were popping all over the open water I imagine there were getting chased by bass but I got too many blue gills trying to get to the bass on my lures. Even got 2 blue gills at the same time once. It was a good day overall and weather was perfect.

Yeah cool I keep almost going to cossayuna but always end up going to carters because I know carters is going to be good so I cant take a chance! I have almost paddled to cossayuna from carters before without knowing they are connected by the river until after I looked on google map online. I dont know if you can actually do it but I went pretty far catching bass the whole way. What else I like about carters is I never once got a pickerel or pike. Just bass and sometimes a blue gill or crappie. So many of my good places to fish are all catching nothing but pickerels now.

Really a great place for any day but anyone knows with kayak wind can ruin the fishing. This spot has tone of islands of vegetation that no matter what the wind is you can easily get pinned to a spot to fish good from. Full of bass too these pictures are from last week or so and smallest bass was 14 inch biggest was 19 inch. All caught on top water frog type lure "SLAYER RATZ JR". Place is called Carters Pond in Greenwich, NY. Dont tell too many people though because I been there a bunch this summer and only ever seen 1 other person he was on kayak and a kid fishing from shore.

I know people who cant even get video game computers shipped to California anymore. I try my best to not start politics but California must be run by insane people and people living there need to speak up if they are not agree with these things or else everything will be taken from them.

I know its only if you have a crappy car like me but this is my solution. I drilled my roof and installed 4 U-bolts as my "roof rack". I didnt want to spend money so I think between the U-bolts and washers/nuts I paid around 10 dollars. I got sick of running the straps through the inside of the car and having rain get in. I keep the kayak on my roof until lakes freeze because its a pain to get it in my yard and I fish at least once a week. Dont see any difference in gas mileage running it on top all the time.

I found a fishing spot on a dirt road along the bank but there is weeds. I tried frogs but I dont think the fish can notice it. Is there any way to fish this weeds?

I got the Rage Toads but all they had was 4/0 EWG offset. Think it will work still?

I was fishing and my kayak was slowly being blown towards shore and I bumped a log and looked over and saw these snakes. I never been so afraid in my life.

I found a lure at walmart KVD perch pad. Its like a frog but shaped more like a fish and has a popper type mouth. I bought it for around 8 bucks. Anyone ever use this?

Opposite for me here. My favorite bank fishing spot is so high there is no bank to walk right now its all the way up to the thick woods and no boats allowed here so kayak is no good.
