Hey folks, 

 

My name is Gino, I have heard about this site from many people and finally decided to sign up and check it out. I am a hardcore Bass fisherman from New Jersey that origionally grew in the Orange County, CA  I like to keep my screenname for forums the same, which is why I chose the name I have now.

 

Its a night and a day different when it comes to bass fishing and my time in NJ has been interesting learning how to catch' em out here. as a Kid I have done some bass fishing in Georgia, primarily on Oconee and West Point Lake, and Jackson lake. I do carve my own swimbaits, And do a lot of customization and modeifying to lures.

 

I got many bass pictures I could post, but this one was recent, I started fishing a jerkbait for the first time this winter here in NJ and learning the nuances of the whole thing.   Here is a wierd fish I caught in March, 43 degree water temps on the jerkbait. 

 

Typically you see fish with that pigmentation in random blotches, but I have never seen it cover 70% of the fish, the otherside was just about completely covered.  I know its a natural normal thing, but what cases that?

 

 I'm looking forward to expanding my knowledge as much as possible, and give back to the community.

Greetings Gino and Welcome to the forums

Welcome!

Hey Gino. Glad to have you here. Fellow tri stater myself. Seems like you'll be able to teach as much as you learn here. Unfortunately being a newbie to bass fishing I don't bring much to the table lol. That's a crazy looking bass. And should outs on the hat. Good fishing!

Welcome Gino! What part of NJ are you in? I'm in the Toms River/Ocean County area. I've seen a couple fish with black blotches from head to tail but never anything like that. What a wild looking fish, what lake/pond did that one come out of?

Welcome aboard, Gino!

I currently Live in the Vineland Area, I work all over central to southern NJ. I am familuir with Toms River and Lakewood, my friend has an LBI pass, so I plan to make a trip for some stripers very soon

 

 

 It was out of a private lake in the Sewell area, the guy who I went out with said hed never seen the fish with that pigmentation before in his lake in over 30 years.
