thats what im thinkin. its been pretty cold and cloudy here and there is absolutly no fishi being caught so next sunny day, im there. thanks alot for all your guys help.one more question, out of all the 8+ pounders there, how come i caught the only 3 pounder when they were all interested? i guess thats just my luck. do any of you guys pig hunt in ca?

hey, i went back again yesterday and the same original situation. NOTHING. i seen them but not the original huge ones just some around 8 lbs.the only difference that i noticed was thatthe day i caught the fish the sun was beaming on the entire part of water and i realized all the other times i went, including yesterday, the sun was mostly covered by trees making the water have shade on it. could that make a difference?

hey smd, i caught like a 3 lbr out of there yesterday and when i was reeling him in dozens of huge bass were swiming right by his side swiming very fast.ill post the pick today. i caught him on a jig w/ pork trailer, off the bottom.lets shoot for the weekend of the12th.

this river must be full of these big fish cause i walked up river the other way and seen about a dozen between the 2 lb range up to about 10 lbs. one about 3 lbs bit it and when i set the hook all of the huge ones were following it around. when i went down to the water i spooked all the bigger fish. they came back out but then wouldnt bite like normal cause they saw me. i think keeping a low profile is the key to these fish.

also the bass are in the shallows but when i cast in the water they swim to the depths. they are not on the top of the water but not near the bottom. so i tried to cast way over them and bring in the bait but they still wont hit.its like the bait isnt even there.these are the conditions. between 78-88 degree outside the water, sunny with some clouds, clear water, with trunks and lots of weeds. i am not kidding when i said i have tried everything.

ok when i said that i was thinking about bow fishing for them i didnt meanit as i was actually going to go out and do it i meant that as a joke cause nothing else was catching these magnificant creatures.i think that we all got confused on this and thanks smd for backing me up. if i couldnt catch a bass fairly on line, i would say the bass won the battle, i would never bow fish for a bass or try to trap them. i walked in the water the first time but now i got permission from the land owner to drive my car to the exact spot. yesterday there were dozens between 3-12 lb average that i saw. they dont seem interested. i catch the little ones like nothing but the big ones are smart.

im not poaching. smd 70 i fish eastman alot also. im open to go back in a week if you want. keep me posted.

thanks alot . im goiong back tommorow an dif i catch one of them ill post the pic

fishin off a bridge snagged a trout int he butt, a seagul off the peir, my grandpas wifes nipple(and her shirt) and a subaru. yes a subaru car. i was flyfishing on a bridge and i snagged a bike rack on the back cast, and like a true fisherman held on to my pole.after the car took all the line out of the reel,the line snapped. and oh yeah, the butt hooked fish and the subaru where within half hour of eachother.

i went back yesterday with shiners again during a cloudy day. i did not see 1 fish.today i went and it was sunny again and they were out and still stuborn. ive seen quite a few frogs there do you think they will hit a baby bull frog live since they already know what they are.?

where r u from

ku bassmaster your welcome to join me anytime and so is anyone else who thinks they can catch these monsters.ive tried to tick them off but every time i cast by them or bring it to them they swim away to the depths and then come back out in a few minutes. i might have to go very light line and fight them cause i think they can see the hook and line cause they will bite a minnow or crawdad if i throw it in by hand.

the spray is a good idea. i wish i had thet answer when my lake went to crap.some fish are very weary and take notice to every little thing. this time of year it is colder and the bass motabilism is a lot slower than normal. so try the bang sent of crayfish oon a brown/green tube and fish it sloooow. also try small zara spooks early int he morning or when the sun is going down. good luck

thanks alot guys. i found the bass by looking for carp. i caught carp out of there before and i use the wheat bait.i am possitive they are bass. i cansee the black plotted stripe on there sides and i went back yesterday with minnows. those fish are smart. i through the minnow in weightless and the bass jumped right to it and stayed with it till it hit the botttom. they did pick at it but wouldnt take it. i think they can see the hook cause i through a minnow in there not on the line and they got him quick. these are trohy bass and i have even thought about bow fishing for them cause they are that close but i think it is illegal here. anyone want to join me and give it a try? oh and the carp there are even bigger than the bass. i catch them there all year long. any more suggestions?
