WELL THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE TO FISH FOR BASS AROUND HERE SO I DO WHAT I CAN. LOCAL PARK LAKE ITS APPROX. 48 ACRES AND IS PRIMARILY MUD BOTTOM WITH TULES, SOME DOWNED TREES AND BUSHES AND SOME SCATTERED ROCKS. ANY IDEAS ON SOME OF THE WAYS I COULD REALLY GET INTO THE BASS WOULD BE GOOD ALSO I FLOAT TUBE IT AND THE DEEPEST SPOT IVE FOUND WAS 6 FEET.

yup i totally did a forum no no YELLING RIGHT!!

HEY THEYRE IS ALOT OF NICE LOW BUDGET REELS ON THE MARKET IF I WERE YOU ID STAY REALLY LOW AND GET TWO OR EVEN GET A REALLY NICE COMBO I WENT TO ACADEMY AND BOUGHT TWO QUANTUM ACCURIST-AC500 EACH WAS 49.99 THEY ARE AND 05 MODEL BUT THEY ARE AWSOME CAST A MILE SUPER STRONG DRAG AND ARE PRETTY LIGHTWEIGHT IM A SERIOUS BELIVER THAT REELS ARE WAY OVER PRICED I STAY LOW FOR REELS BUT I DONT SPEND AND DO PURCHASE QUALITY RODS, I.E. AMERICAN RODSMITH AND ALL-STAR RODS

OK SO I HAVE 3 BAIT CAST SETUPS AND 1 SPINNING REEL, MY BAITCASTERS CONSIST OF 1 FLIPPIN STICK AN AMERICAN RODSMITHS 7'-8" THAT I USE TO PITCH TO HEAVY COVER, A 7' FT ALLSTAR CLASSIC THAT I USUALLY USE TO THROW MY TOPWATER LURES AND BIG PLASTICS AND JIGS AND ALSO A 6'-6" MH SHIMANO ROD I USE FOR LIGHT PLASTICS AND LIGHT BAITS I.E. SPINNERBAITS, CRANKBAITS, JERKBAIT. I WANT TO GET ANOTHER ROD TO REPLACE ONE AND WAS LOOKING AT A ALLSTAR 6'-6" THATS LABBELED AS A SPINNERBAIT ROD AND ITS LIKE MY SHIMANO ROD BUT ALITTLE BIT STIFFER THAN THE SHIMANO I HAVE I FIGURE I CAN USE IT FOR HEAVIER BAITS AND A STRONGER BACKBONE FOR PULLING BASS OUTTA GRASS YET STILL HAVING THE SENSITIVITY ANYBODY HAVE ANY IDEAS AS TO WHAT I SHOUL GET, O YA MY SPINNING ROD IS FOR LIGHT TACKLE LIKE SHAKY HEAD RIGS AND FINNESE FISHING. HOPE SOMEBODY CAN HELP ME

CAUGHT HER YESTERDAY AFTERNOON ON MY NEW FAVORITE BAIT THE RAGE CRAW IS AWSOME THE MOVEMENT IS UNBELIVEABLE. SO IM THINKING SHES ABOUT 6-7LBS OR SO.

heres another pic of her. ANYBODY WANNA TAKE A STAB AT HOW BIG IM SAYING 6-7LBS MAYBE.

well went out this afternoon and caught seven bass caught one nice one so here's a pic. o ya and i love the rage craws theyre awsome.

its simple man i prefer zoom super fluke's all you do is cast it to your desired spot and let it fall to the bottom. also what i like to do is give it a few twitches, not jerks, twitches. i find that dead sticking really works when the bass are just not in an aggressive mood its an easy meal.

thats what i was thinkin of using big flashy spinnerbaits and big dark jigs and plastics. ANYONE ELSE WANNA CHIME IN ILL TAKE ALL THE ADVICE I CAN GET

SO I FISH A LOCAL PARK POND ABOUT 48 ACRES, ITS ALREADY PRETTY STAINED WATER AND SINCE ALL THE RAIN I KNOW ITLL BE ALOT MORE STAINED AND THAT THE WATER LEVER WILL BE UP SO WHAT SHOULD MY PLAN BE IN PREPERATION FOR THE CHANGES IN NOT ONLY THE BASS BUT ALSO THE CHANGE IN WATER AND SUCH. JUST FOR WORDS I WAS CATCHING ALL MY BASS PRIOR TO THE RAIN ON TOPWATERS AND ZOOM FLUKES, AND WEIGHTLESS WORMS. cover is tons of tules and mostly mud bottoms with a few fallen tress.

lower the better if you can catch it right before it starts to climb thats the best

come on someone has to live somewhere else besides alaska

SHAKY HEAD OR SPINNERBAIT

SO WHATS EVERYONES TACTICS TO SUB-DO HOT TIME BASS. I LIVE IN WEST TEXAS AND ITS STEADY 95-105 THIS TIME OF YEAR AND JUST TRYING TO LEARN SOME STUFF. AM I MORE APT TO JUST HEAD OUT EARLY MORNING AND LATE EVENING OR CAN I HAVE SUCCESS MID-DAY. I DO KNOW A FULLY OVERCAST DAY WITH JUST A BUZZ-BAIT CAN MEAN BOAT LOADS OF BASS BUT IM SKEPTICAL ILL SEE ONE SOON.

WOW WHERE IS EVERYONE AT

I ONCE SAW A GUY DOIN IT AND HE HAD SOME DEVICE THAT WAS LIKE A BELT RIG THAT HAD SOME PVC THINGY HE HAD MADE FOR IT

yes there is most definatly bass in it, ive only fished it for about 4 months strong and since have caught 2 really nice bass and ive caught tons of small 1-3 pounders, 1 went about 6 and looked to be spawned out so i think it would have went 7-8, and the other was still fat and super aggressive so i believe it was gorging itself in preperation to lay eggs heres the pics.

was just curious, i fish a local park pond about 40 acres with some rock bottom banks, but mostly mud bottom with tulles all around. my question is the water is pretty murky visibilty only about 1ft. does the sun affect the water/bass the same way it does in clearer water, does the water stay cooler, and will the fish be more opt to not hug cover due to the fact that the sun isnt penatrating the water as much

im guessing she went about 7 or 8 maybe the picture is kinda weak i think her girth was pretty big

O YA, also caught this huge bullfrog at the end of the day on a spro top water fog i thought that was kinda weird.

O YA, she also regurgitated this, looks to be a white bass and there was another one about to come out to. so im knda curious as to what phase this bass was in she was fat with eggs ozing out and yet had two palm sized white bass in her mouth ANY IDEAS????????

well went float tubing today and was throwing a 3/8 oz. booyah spinnerbait in shad pattern. was throwing from all diretions to the tules when all the sudden my rod is almost ripped from my hands. she gave a really really good strong fight and then walla i got her. so then i went to take a pic and realized i didnt put my sd card nack in the camera so i called my wife and begged her to bring it to me (30 min drive) so i definatly owe this pic to my wife!!

zoom trick worm

and also if you've got the ability first throw a spinner bait thru the area to prone for active bass but this is exactly what i do i throw an active bas type bait then follow with a senko and the a shaky head rig i catch bass all day

actually what it does do is give the local ranger and biologist time to access the situation at your local bodies of water im sure theyll be trying to come up with a scientific solution to the mussell issue its either that or the bass in the lake will eventually suffer i would take the time off to study or even just relax the bass will be there on the 23rd and maybe also be more aggressive due to the calming of stuff thrown theyre way but you are exactly right the animals are alot more like to contribute to the issue but that is only true if they travel from one body of water to the next as in migratory patterns just my .02
