Del from philly

tell ya the truth, it just looks like a flat bottom with stones....no real holes or things of that nature maybe the beach was first, then it came up, and now its back down.....

a man made lake i fish every now and then has dryed up to the point of lowering a good 20 feet. this is a lake with the biggest bass, but also the most careful and reserved The good news is you can now cast from anywhere, their used to be trees blocking everything my question is, is their any tricks or ways to fish after a lake has lowered? anything i should know? i went out yesterday and didnt catch squat on my regular plastics and harbodys... finally a put on a descent size in line spinner and almost got in a 3lber.....the treble hoook was too small i think for a good hoook-in but that was the only action.... any ideas.....im exscited because i can finally fish anywhere i want without any trees in the way

iv never seen one either the other day out of the blue a guy said he and some people caught a bunch opf these at my lake..... personally, i think their full of it, i would have came accross them at some point ugly loooking fish tho, their eyes are scary the way they glow kind of

IRON SILK LINE-you guys were right!.....its like casting metal wire (nice for nots tho) Shakespear composite rod- Snapped 2 of these in 2 days.......break SO EASY

I got a little 50$ Challeneger series 3 person by intex THIS IS THE BEST 50 DOLLARS IV EVER SPENT anyone who doesnt have the room for a trailer, BUY AN INFLATABLE! its great....and it is in the back of my truck at ALL TIMES...... anyone that has any specific questions can get at me anytime.....

i rmember reading about cleaning musky a while ago you basicly cut a square steak on the top of their back, after their head <-(---(----< i tryed with the illusttration

ANYONE EVER USE BLUEFISH TYPE SALTWATER SPOONS FOR MUSKIE ALSO, anyone have any advice for some one who wants to start musky fishing i finally have the rod that will do the trick,.,,,,,now i just need the knowledge

I fish marsh creek in PA and the bass fishing has really come to a stop..... so im fishing different smaller lures iv never used and i tye on a largmouth bass deep diver (looks like a bass minow) and to my suprise, something tears into my line hard, but the fight was quick..... turned out to be one of my favorites-A CRAPPIE...... i never even knew they were in their, so now im excited......i always loved fishing for crappie and perch, but all i ever got was bluegills...... Do you think its possible that all the panfish i have seen in the lake i have mistook as bluegill and are really crappies??? also, what conditions, patterns to look for, baits been discussed, should i look for deep or shallow, topwater work on crappies, or just bluegills??? I SEE MYSELF GETTING INTO CRAPPIE FISHIGN BECAUSE I NEVER HAVE AND THE BASS FISHING IS DEAD RIGHT NOW....... HELP A BROTHER OUT

on the slow days, try a 4" senko - i always use junebug color when i fish the 4" regular days i would fish a 5" senko, some classic colors to use: "mad melon" , "Confetti" , "melon w/ black flake", i would worry less about colors and more about flake.....i like using senkos that have 2-3 different color flakes, i also prefer shiny flakes, but i must say....i have had the most consistant success with the melon seed with black flake honestly, iv heard in most cases that color doesnt matter, GO WITH WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL CONFIDENT

great ideas....... i fish a weightless senko 5" but changed down from 8lb to 6lb test i think i finally figured out how to fish grass, just like you said.....pull, fall, pull , fall.....thanks whats funny tho is the lake where iv been cleaning up at all season has left me fishless my last 2 outings.......cant figure out why? im trying deep, shallow......all didfferenty types of vegitation and nothing...... any other comments regarding the different types of vegitation would be nice, anyone? thanks again

a lot of times the "jumping fish" is not what you think.......but sometimes it is.........hopefully bass i would say though, a better chance being a larger panfish....iv seen them just up to 3 feet in the air or maybe a carps tail is hitting the top of the water while its feeding, creating an illusion of a jumping fish i pray for you that it is bass!

ANother quetsion for the experts..... the lake i fish the most (MArsh Creek) is a very vegitated lake...... it has a little of everything, witches hair, grass, ect anybody have any comments on which is the best to fish? also, it seems that i get caught up on this stuff no matter how weedless i go, any suggestions.... sometimes i feel like if i dont get a bass ont he first plop in the water, then it aint happeneing due to the crud that gets all over my bait..... thanks

GREAT INFORMATION!!! thanks..... let me say this, it will help dont laugh...... i fish a little inflatable row-boat......no electronics whatsoever....... just me and my little anchor that doesnt even make it too the bottom in some spots.....

For some reason, i can;t fish for bass in deep water, just doesnt feel right....iv never caught a bass anywhere but off a shjore line..... can i continue to fish like this? or will i run into slow/stop days when i dont have to ?? do all of you guys fish deep water? Anybody else that just can't fish deep? i fish exclusively senkos at 2 of the 3 lakes i fish, the other lake i fish mostly kreatures with a few spinnerbaits every once in a while do these baits work with a deep water presentation, or am i better off

GREAT BOAT FOR 50 BUCKS perfect for a trip out with the girlfriend.... already caught a dozen or so off of it, and had a great time every outing.... downside is infation and deflating, takes about 20 minutes to do both..... I RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE WITH A THIN WALLET

Just bought a cheep ($50) inflatable 3 person boat (challenger) it looks cheesy, but it also seems like it is gonna do the trick..... it can hold a trolling motor, but so far, i just got 1 set of oars I got an anchor, what im looking for is anyone that has any advice for using inflatable boats......I literally know nothing, and their wasnt even a salesmen to help me when I bought it.... any thing i need to know to fish off it, use the anchor, anybody have any bad experiences with these things?? i almost feel like if i hooked a nice 4 lber that he would bring me out to sea....lol any comments will help me, THANKS

id say its just this..... the bass gets out of the4 water and loses all the pressure from the water once in the air, the bass can shake as hard as he can,. and that motion gets the hook to fall out happens to me quite a bit.....

Anybody have any suggestions to overcome fishing slow times....like summer from 12 to 5pm??? i know that i have days where i fish all day and go home empty.......but a few ties i have overcame it is it pretty much a fact that this is the worst time to go, or are their ways to make due

also, my aREA must suck.....iv probably only caught 1 or 2 fish in my LIFE that were even close to 5lbs........

im glad someone brought this up..... i guess im doing something wrong, because i would say, on average, i catch about 3 bass every trip....but sometimes even less, soemtimes a few more..... 40 bass a trip? is that even possible? i meen, are we averaging here? or you really catch 40 fish in 4 hours... that would meen that you catch 10 an hour? d**n....good job i dont even know if i would keep fishing if I caught 40 fish.....it would be boring after a while.... i know ponds are much more actiuve, and you catch a lot more, and i do fish spots that are known for a "slow bite" but still...... anyone who catchs 40 fish in an outing needs to turn pro and make some money....

Fish topwater, right before the sun goes down my favorite, is called the bumble bug i think.....its a topwater bumble bee

Actually caught my first Musky.....and it was on a Senko worm....??? It was a baby Tiger..... couldnt have weighed over a pound ... their funny looking, color wize, at first i thought it was a bass, but then when i got it out of the water, it looked like somebody stretched it out, like a piece of clay as for the fight, their really was none, this poor guy didnt know what was going on, and came right in....kind of dragged him along the top of the water......i was excited..... The first thing i noticed was the things eyes.... they almost didnt look like the eye of a fish, too pretty

Berkley "Iron Silk" I gotta say, the name sold me....... I got this real cheap on sale, been using it for a few weeks..... and i have mixed feelings.... HELP ME OUT casting- not good at all, and the string can catch itself and tangle pretty bad sometimes nots- good stuff, i love tying this stuff feel- kind of heavy feel, not very sensitive visibility- its dark green, but is apparently less visible then it looks like strength- A+, you gotta cut this line to break it, some strong stuff durability- it almost feels like it is soft on the outside, and gets nicked up pretty easy, but i still have yet to see it break Anybody care to help me sway to one side.......anyone use this stuff before? it definately needs help, but has some better aspects....

i used to fish exclusively Ultra light, and was using 4 lb test here is my suggestion, sont go overboard like i did 4 lb test is rediculous for bass, even small bass,. aand if their are hangups its even worse i found that in the middle is the best i got a shiumano sedona and love it, i use the highest test you can put on it, 8lb, and it is perfect

its funny, it almost seems like some people have Personal resentment towards the senko.....lol i meen, people get weird when senkos are being discussed, and im not sure why seems like when i go to the local lakes, im the only one fishing them, so maybe im not sick of them because it hasnt been crammed down my mouth like some of you guys..... i dont see tho, how fishing a senko is anymore boring than fishing anything else? i meen, unless your gonna do a fast retrieve, its just a fun a bait as anything else...... maybe if you dont catch anything, but if your catching them on senkos, and yuou stil think its boring, than maybe fishing isnt the best hobby for you to enjoy Maybe this is wrong, maybe right, but i have a sneaking suspicion that the people who hate senkos are proabably not catching anything on them, and mad at the fact that they hear all the time how good they are, and havnt mastered them themselves........ that is the only reason i would get "sick of senkos" maybe not......lol also, try it weightless, and it makes fishing it a little funner, but im sure you already have i love them, werightless but i dont understand why it seems like 4" is the standard??? i will only go to 4" if the fishing is SLOW if not, than 5" is my everyday size, and even the 4" will catch some small guys sometimes.......
