Some thoughts on Bass Fishing

[biggin]

I was told that a deer lives within 1 square mile of where they were born, as long as the habitat is plentiful. The state does what it can to enrich that habitat. Recently l read of silt removal from a local creek that didn’t do a great job and found industrial lubricants and arsenic. Does the habitat get effected from this runoff ?
 

Are there any studies showing what bass do from where they hatch ? I know they spawn from down river to the area they they are fished. Once spawned do the females die die typically ?

Gary Klein & Rick Clunn on numerous videos stated anglers put to much emphasis on rods, reels, lines, & lures and not enough on the angler.

 

Gosh, I'm glad to read ^this." I don't know why, but I can't keep track of which rod and which line I should use with which lure, even though I watch YouTube video after YouTube where it's all explained and reexplained. Heck, I can't even keep track of the lures. You guys will catch a bass and you remember the brand, color (double watermelon and blueberry with tomato and gold flecks), and name of the lure. Your memories are amazing. I'll catch a bass and remember that the lure was black. Maybe.

would rather catch 1 double digit fish than 20 - 5 lb'ers.

Dang. 20 5 lb'ers? Up north if we catch one or two a year we're doing the jig!
