Given the amount of serious bass fisherman who use this site, there's a thousand years worth of bass experience on this site.  From Yankee town to Florida.

I'm too old to give up my finess fishing ways, especially given the decent success I've had at it. But I still like reading all the info.  

i would have to say casting technique and all of my on the water experience

I'd also have to say time on the water. Four years ago ,I really got serious about bassin'.I started bassin' Every Sat. and Sun. and during the Summer I have two and a half months off.I fish at least 5 days a week,sometimes more.even I am gonna pick up on bass behavior with that much time invested.

Hey Rattlinrogue, that picture under your name looks like most of the bass pictures I end up with. A small bass which looks even smaller because you're holding it away from the camera and the lighting is perfect.

;D I like it!
