My DAD got me into fishing though his methods were a lot differant than mine are. He trot-lined and giged a lot. I figured there had to be an easier way , so I got myself some artificial lures and the rest is history.
Not to change the thought process here , but if you are going to have three people , battery and all your fishing gear onboard your boat , be careful because you have definately over loaded your 12 footer. Just my 2 cents worth.
Fishing large lakes without a boat is a sure way not to catch many bass. Stay with your smaller ponds and catch , catch , catch. If and when you can get a boat , then hit the larger lakes and catch , catch , catch. Just my two cents worth.
When I land a bigger fish like the one you mentioned and its hooked as good as the one you caught , I'll cut the barb from the hook and slide it on out. Less trauma for the fish.
Need some opinions. I've got a 14 ft. lowes semi-v john boat. I'm thinking about putting a floor and casting deck on it. Before I do this though , I am considering on having the inside of the boat Rhino lined to cut down on noise and help perserve the inside. Do you think it would be worth the money to do this? The boat is 6 years old and in great shape. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR OPINIONS.
The two times you mentioned are excelliant times to fish. I have also caught many fish between the 10 am to 2 pm time slot. There are many variables that you have to consider, like weather , time of year, bait fish movement. I'm sure you will receive many more pointers from other's on the forum. GOOD LUCK!
