On my home lake, I usually catch 20-30 if I'm onto a pattern for the dinks  ;D  If I'm catching quality bass, it's usually around 5-10 nice bass.

Anywhere from a few to a bunch.

If I averaged out for the whole season (good days and bad), I would say about one fish per hour.

I only bass fish in the summer, so it varies a lot.

But, it really depends on what lake and how well the fish are biting.

After checking last year's fishing log, I averaged anywhere from 4-6 per trip.

Wind, rain, sun, over cast, hail, snow.. no matter what the conditions are I seem to be able to bring atleast 3-4 in an hour on average. Every condition has its ups and downs, so weather and time should not vary your results too much!

My avg. for the past 3 times ive been out is 12.

If I go out by myself I catch 3-6 in a couple hours, If i'm with my kids I catch 1 or 2  if I'm with my wife I get a big fat 0.. ;D

if I'm with my wife I get a big fat 0.. ;D

Ain't that the truth. Not sure what it is. Last year I took my wife smallie fishing.....not even a bite. Took her to my dads pond....she pulled in a couple of 3lbers and I got..........nothing. She is horrible luck.   :-X   ;D

Enough to keep me going back

Since you asked for a Summer catch average, Summer starts on June 20 and ends on Sept 20. During that period last year, I averaged 24.3 bass per trip on 11 different bodies of water. For 2006, I averaged 26.6 per trip on 16 different bodies of water.

She is horrible luck. :-X ;D

Thats alot

You know something....every time i skunk out there's a lady with her husband next to me. Then no matter where else i go that day i seem to have rotten luck.

Lately it's been 1 every hour or 2,however last week of may and first week of june i was hammering smallmouths 3 per hour.

The lake i fish most is pretty untouched and on a typical day you can pretty much catch as many as you want.

The downside is that when I travel to other areas and get skunked (which is often) it stings that much more!

Welcome aboard!

Sounds like a pretty remarkable lake.

What size is typical and what is the best

you've caught on that water?

Glad to be here!

It's not a big lake, so the typical size is on the smaller side depending on what area of the lake you fish, but in the 1.5lbs range is the average.

I don't bring a scale out with me, but the best I've done is maybe around 3.25-3.5lbs from there.

-edit- actually, after looking at some the photos on the site with estimated weights, the best I've pulled from the lake is closer to 4.5lbs.

I'm not very experienced at estimated weight so the figures could vary.

Here's a link to a shot of a decent crappie from the end of last summer. If you think of it in typical largemouth to crappie size for a lake, this is an above average crappie for the lake, maybe that will give you a sense of the average largemouth.

I'm not able to post links yet, so i just put two spaces after the http: above. Take the spaces out to see it...

well at lake casitas u are lucky to catch one n the winter, bt in the summer ans tin the spring then it is good

I've got a short movie I made which shows several of the fish from the lake, so once I get these ten posts I'll put it up...

...I've never tried fishing it in the winter, i'd rather use my imagination sitting by a fire.

Fishing in the winter is the best... with gloves and a nice jacket!  I've caught some big ones in the winter...

Well, I'll fish the ocean into early december and certain other salt water areas all year, but something about ice fishing in the winter never stuck with me.

I think it's the idea of not being quite as active, but since I've never tried it I should do it and then see if I don't like it...

Oh, your water has ice in the winter? Lol in NC it doesnt get cold enough to ice fish.

I scare way more with my kayak than I catch haha  ;D
