Are yalls lakes still iced? Man it's already hot here ?

They were on bed today and I caught a 7. 

 

...oh, wait, are we banning bed fishing as well?  HURDUR YEW WEEL DESTERB DE REPERDUCKSHUN.

You caught a 7? Ahh lucky. I was bed fishing today too, didnt catch any that big. Just a few good ones for fish tacos tonight.

 

I actually used zoom ole monsters haha and deadly nedly's

I was on a pretty good private pond.   I had a really killer day.  I don't think the biggest was on the bed, she absolutely hammered an S-Waver 168.  Besides that I caught them on my BOSS Finesse Flip Jigs with YUM Money Craws cut to size.  The craws were absolutely deadly on a shakyhead too.  The only fish I can guarantee that was on the bed was a buck bass I managed to make hit after half an hour of repositioning, hiding, finally getting behind a dog fennel and snatching his ass onto the bank on the set.  He was probably 2.5.  His girlfriend is twice his size, at least.  Gonna try for her on Saturday. 

Dem savannah farm ponds!! 

 

S-waver? You drank that kool aid? (Does it work?) ?

 

I caught several on the ole monster Zoom. Buddy I was fishing with said let's try a ned rig. I was like naw that's for northern waters lol.. He proved to me in 20fow that stinking thing flat caught fish. Zman just gained a customer. I was flat impressed 

I'm gonna try to find momma on the bed later and see if I can get her to hammer the ol monster.

It's already illegal in Pa.  

@jbsoonerfan I got 3 on the Ole monster, and 1 on a magnum lizard w/ 1/2oz pegged tungsten. Water was still a tad cold they haven't moved in all the way. Just the early birds.

 

But moved out to 20ft drop offs and picked em off like crazy with the ned, I think we used the big TRD? Not sure about the name. It took 5mins for that sucker to sink seemed like!! Good learning new tricks ?

 

 

I am amazed this subject went for 7 pages now. Like I said earlier I rather make enlarged photos of the trophy bass I have caught along with photo albums but everyone is free to decide if they want a skin mount, replica, photos, whatever makes them happy as long as it is legal.

If we allow 'them' to ban one thing about fishing - where will it stop?

I believe 7 pages was a personal goal of @NittyGrittyBoy. Congrats! We’ve made it!!

Don't use bass for fish tacos. Bluegills are much better. Bass are good for tilling in the garden. They produce big juicy tomatoes.

Nevils, GA, waaaay back in the woods pond.  I wish I had some farm ponds chock full of livestock steroid runoff!  As far as the S-Waver koolaid goes, yes.  I've caught three fish off of it now and they've all been at least two ponds.  My first was a two out of Evans County PFA(I swear there isn't more pressured water).  Then I lost a tank right after, she hit right beside me and she was big.  That was back in early December.  Then today, first a bite, then a nice fish.

 

The S-Waver works.  I've caught more fish on it than a Ned rig!  Man, I hate that thing.  I bet it would make a hell of a bed bait, though.

I agree with you. We have similar issues in Florida where the state is making saltwater regulations more strict as the years pass. For example the snook population is extremely healthy in South Florida but you can only keep 1 snook between 28-32'' long (on the east coast), during short seasons, and on top of that you need a special snook stamp to harvest one of these fish. There are other saltwater regulations that are more strict than the snook regulations. Fortunately I know how to catch snook and know good places to fish so I tend to catch slot snook but it is much harder to catch a slot snook in season than to catch a snook 33'' or bigger. The West coast of Florida had a ban on keeping snook for a while, so that means people that usually fish for snook on the West coast of Florida had to drive to the East coast if they wanted to keep a snook.

Lol

Well I gave up on skin mounting a zebra mussel after I cut myself.  Actually I might have a replica of my PB made of wood.  A veneer mount.  

Thanks for all the effort team, we pushed, we struggled, but in the end we gained victory. 

 

I don't understand why all of you were so offended.

I think that's enough fun for one thread.
