What Kind of bass fishing do you wish you had?

I wish I had 75 degrees, a drizzle and 8mph southwest wind always.

My best days have been in those conditions.

As much as I hate and complain about winter, I have every kind of fishing I need right here within a 1 hour drive from my home. I live 15 minutes from the number one bass lake in WV, 30 minutes from musky and smallmouth infested rivers, and 45 minutes from some of the best freestone native trout streams around. Pretty lucky I guess when I stop and think about it.

I guess if I had to wish it would be larger lakes. Our two largest lakes are Summersville (2700 ac.) and the lake I fish, Stonewall Jackson (2650 ac.). I could drive the boat on Stonewall with my eyes closed I fish it so much. ;D

I still hate winter!!! >:(

I would like some rocks/boulders and stumps.  Smallmouth would be awesome too.

Don't be greedy, ya got peacocks  ;)

I'd like NE Atlantic Striped bass, nothing under 20#

Any lake with less weed and grass... I'm not that great of a soft plastic fisherman.

I'm totally satisfied with Toledo Bend, it has every type of structure known to man & it has every type of cover known to man. Y'all can catch bass using every technique and lure known to man. Toledo Bend has a huge population of bass with more 10 pound plus bass per acre then Lake Fork but they are harder to catch due to the enormous size of the lake. Someone said Texas has more Bass Master Pros than any state and more Pros who have won the Classic and while this is true Toledo Bend Reservoir has produced and attracted to the area more top flight Pros than any one lake on earth.

Toledo Bend Reservoir is truly The Bass Fishing Capital of the World ;)

I want stump fields and grass not this slimy millfoil garbage

The good kind...

PADS!

There are lots of places to fish with lily pads around here.

Peacock fishing the Amazon is my biggest dream!

I know, I was kidding. BTW, PEACOCK X2!!  ;D

Something larger with more structure. I have plenty of cover on some but most lakes near me  have one or two main lake points with no signs of a creek ever running through them (silted in).  It would be nice to occaisonally learn and apply other fishing techniques on lakes that contain areas in which those techniques can be applied!  :)   Grass / weeds are nice too.

stumps

Give me a spot where two or more types of vegetation exist, a flippin' stick and a good song on the radio and i am in heaven! The nastier the cover the better!!!!!

I'm content where I am. I have pretty good Largemouth, and fantastic Smallmouth fishing. I guess if There was one thing I would ask for, it would be Peacocks, or maybe Stripers.

I don't think I would change anything florida fishing is awesome. You can fish river systems, big lakes, small lakes, ponds, creeks. We have everything here and we get to fish year round.

We have it all up here, super clear and deep to shallow and sloppy. I wish we had standing timber and could fish yeat round though....

I wouldnt change anything from what I've got. I've got KY Lake within about an hour-hour and a half distance that has everything except standing timber. about a dozen 90-900acre small resivoirs within 45 minute that have massive stumpfields to offshore structure to grassfields. Then about 2 hours northwest have Reelfoot Lake which is a shallow bass fisherman's dream with god knows how many cypress trees and TONS of lily pads. I'm in a pretty awesome area if you ask me.  :)

I agree with Catt, Fish Chris, and Kylakedude. My home waters of Ky./Barkley have it all. Every structure and cover known to bass except standing timber. So many and almost every technique and lure has a place and time here. It would be nice if DD bass were more common but I'm happy right where I'm at!

I kinda feel like FC where I already feel spoiled so any mention of anything would just be bratty BUT,.....IF I could change 1 thing in my lake, I would want shad.

About half a million less fishermen and pleasure boaters on our small, local rivers would be really, really nice.

Big Largies.

The lake I mainly fish is so overpopulated that the bass dont grow bigger than 2 and a half pounds (as far as I know 2lb 4oz is the biggest Ive caught).

Its a catch and release lake and the bass just keep spawning.  Its getting out of hand.

Norhterns wont get bigger than 26 in.

Walleye wont get over 3 lbs

Not to metion there is 0 fishing pressure.  Private lake for employees only.

GIMME SOME BIG BASS!!!!!

Good Fishing! 8-)

The only thing I wish I had was a longer season.  Wisconsin has it all from lake to lake but only has it for 4 or 5 months a year.  We have largemouth you catch on forgs in weeds and lilly pads and we got clear lakes with big smallmouth you catch on cranks, jerks and jigs.

...I wish there were less jet skiers....
