Well the fishing was slow but we managed to do decent, just not for the bass. Hit the pasquotank river and tried the bass for awhile. Nada, nothing. Finally changed up to crappie fishing and even it was slow but still managed five good sized crappie and a big ol bluegill. Friend of mine went today crappie fishing and ended up with 12 so I guess that aint to bad.. Hoping to try for the bass again soon..

I dont own a scale and am not good at guessing weights. Dont claim to be neither. I may take a guess at the weight but I will not say that a bass definitley weighs such and such lbs if I do not know for sure.

Alright, was wanting to get some of your opinions on how the fishing will be after today. Fishing has been hot this whole week. Landed 11 bass on the 6th and between me and my buddy we landed 42 on the 7th. My cousins even wore the panfish out this afternoon. So heres the deal. Cold front is moving in tonight, temps are supposed to drop from upper 80s to mid 60s for highs. Rain all day tommorow. How bad do yall think this will hurt the fishing? Im sure the water will still be warm for a couple of days and I know its probobly gunna hurt the fishing some but not sure how bad it will get. Not supposed to warm up for around a week the last I checked so what do yall think? Thanks for your opinions on this..

Congratulations on a very nice fish!!.. 8-)

Oh and that is one of the darkest crappie Ive ever seen. Caught him in a creek that branches off the pasquotank river. What do yall think about him?

They had a blast. My cousins are 8 and 12 and on spring break this week. They love to catch fish so I offered to take them bream bustin today with their cane poles. They jumped at the opportunity and we had a great day on the water. Ended up with 9 fish on corks and nightcrawlers. Bream, Crappie, Nanny Shad and the youngest one even managed to hook into a nice bass but it spit the hook with an ariel show. Was giving that cane pole a fit for a minute. Also managed to come across a durn snake that was trying to get closer than I wanted him to be to the girls so he and my shotgun had a meeting and obviously the shotgun won. Anyways, overall it was a bit windy but turned out to be a good day of fishing and they had a great time. I had a great time even though I barely fished. Just baited their hooks and took the fish off for them. All catch and release today and we really enjoyed ourselves. here are the pics..

Dont feel bad dude. When I first started using a baitcaster I didnt think I was ever gunna get the hang of it lol. At times I just wanted to throw it in the pond and pick up my spinning gear but I kept at it and now Im fairly decent at it I think. It will come to you with practice but look on the bright side, atleast you got out there and tried.. keep it up man, baitcasting is well worth the time it takes to get it done..

DANG, those are some huge bass. One of these days I gotta go fish some places like that. Florida or Texas or something like that. Nice bass man.. Got any weights on those fish?

Alright here is the pics. The last two is the two biggest bass of the day. The second from last pic would be my best of the day and was caught on a gulp worm t-rigged. The last bass in the pics is my buddy's best bass of the day. Caught on a t-rigged zoom lizard. Here ya go.. Anybody wanna guess the weight on these last two fish? Im guessing atleast five pounds for the last one and 3lb or better for the second from last. What do yall think?

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas, Im already liking this site alot. Alot of great information here about what I love to do.. Thanks again and hope yall catch a big mess of bass this summer.. 8-)

Im taking my cousins (12 and 8) fishing for bream tommorow afternoon. They love to catch fish but get bored fairly easily so bream it is. Hoping to burnemup tommorow on some nightcrawlers..

Ive been catching fish this week on topwater. Rapala Floating Jerkbaits and Rapala Skitterwalks. I believe alot of the bass are done spawning around here honestly because they are feeding like crazy and there are alot of smaller fish around.. Oh and by the way, was having strikes on topwater today at noon so it could happen anytime and not just at dawn and dusk..

What he said lol. Nice bass. 8-)

Good looking bass. Congratulations..

Very nice fish. Congrats dude!!..
