10....................... on some days I like to think. ;D

Im reality, in between a 6 and 7. I am really trying to master reading electronics this summer. I feel that I am a really good spring fishermen, but in the past summers I have not done so well. I can go out and catch fish, just not any with any size on a consistent basis. The past month and a half I have really started to learn to locate bigger fish in the summer time pattern on the lakes I fish locally. I am trying to prepare myself to enter the tourney scene once I graduate from college next  year.  Whether I can apply that to other lakes is yet to be seen. If I can................I would boost myself up to a 7.

I'm going to have to give myself a 5. I'm really praticing alot and working on finding a good summer pattern and mastering it, i'm getting ready to purchase my first real bass boat, I currently have a 16' jon boat w/ a 15 horse yamaha on it now. It's great but I want something a little bigger.

im a 5 for almost the same reason as fishinfool. i have a johnboat and am looking for a reasonably priced bass boat. i fish small lakes and ponds mostly and have pretty good success and ive been getting out to bigger lakes alot more with people i know that have boats and have done ok but not great so thats why i rate myself a 5

Probably about like KU-between 6 and 7, although that might be a bit of a stretch ;D

what,.....no 11?

*****************************

a solid 7.15

still an ounce shy,hehe

3  hahah    Only cause ive never really gotten to Bass fish much cause my dad is one that likes to bluegill and catfish ..  Ive only cought a few fish while fishing on lakes... most of the bass i ahve cought where cought in ponds and its easy to catch them in ponds i think since u can walk almsot all the way arouynd most of them and fish basically every structure....  but fishing the lake is difficult cause theres lots of structures to fish and  ive never been able to find where the fish stay.......

so ill say 3-4

i'm gonna say 4. I just got a 14 foot jon boat and havent taken it out yet so i mostly fish small ponds and lakes from the bank. I've never used a depth finder or caught nice fish from big lakes,..i'm just getting into this. Locating bass is the next step that i want to take because so far i have concentrated on how to use diff. lures.

mgton,....GET IN THAT BOAT!!!

 You don't know what you are missing, a whole new world is available to you.  Even the small ponds you fish from shore can have hidden treasures just out of casts reach.  GET OUT THERE!!!

6-7, i think i would be better if i had a good close place to fish and a bass rig.

I am a 1 I know nothing

id say 4 or 5 cuz im not the greatest but i am good at times

I'll put myself at a 6. I need to learn and build up my finnese fishing skills in more than one finnese technique.

A 6 or 7 some days a 6 some days a 7.

I will say a 7, fortunately I live 3 blocks from a lake where I have taught myself every technique and trick I can learn about bass fishing. Hopefully after I get a boat the rating will rise a couple notches.

I think I'm a 5, and just lack a little time on the water from being a 6.  On my best days, I'm probably an 8, and I still definately have days where I'm struggling to be a 1!

I would put myself as a 6, if i had a real bass boat i would be teeny bit better like a 6.3 . For everybody we can be 10 at times and we can all be 1 at times, thats how bass fishin is. I just need to learn more smallmouth fishing techniques and more finesse techniques, also learn to fish on big reseviors 3,000 acres plus, This summer i am going try and keep the "Bubba Bassin" to a small time segment on the water.

Oh the glory of bassfishing. I have days where im a 10 then I'll have a week to a month where i'm a 1 or a 2. Everyonr in there life time with have that time when they are a 10. Everything just clicks. Then everyone will have the days when they are a 1. Can't cast get snagged all day if one bites you miss or loose it.

But the best rating I can give myself is the compliments or the comments recieved from peers, partners and competitiors on that day. Always try to get better and maybe one day I'll be told i'm a 10 just keep working harder after being called a 10

BTW 6 on a regluar basis I hate deep clear lakes.

Ad infinitum ! and with attitude. ;D Sometimes I amaze myself on how good I am  .

Probably a  5-6. I don't have a boat and don't really know crap about them and that's why. If I had a boat I think I could be really dangerous on big lakes.

8.  Why be modest   ;D

Somewhere between a 5 and 6 and just when I think I might be a 7 the fish show me that a 4 might be in my future.  I can catch fish everytime I go out but catching the big ones everytime is a different story.

7-8 But I grew up on the water so I better be that good

Probably a 6-7 as well. There are still some techniques I could improve on. I do consistently catch fish, but also struggle for limits. So that is about right.

I'd say a solid 6.During certain times,I might even go up a notch to a 7.I've been bassin' on and off for 30 years.I have a decent bassboat to fish out of with the electronics.The problem with me is that I do it only for fun.I have no illusions of being a tournament angler.Although I can worm,crankbait,jig, etc.I just like fishing lowlight  situations with topwaters,jerkbaits,and spinnerbaits.
