At the moment it is 1 degree outside...

Very nice post it reminded me of the day i was cleaning a bass i caught, after expertly fileting the "eater" sized fish i decided on doing a little investigating into the stomach of my dinner to better understand what the bass were foraging for at this reservoir. When i opened it up i discovered a 4" baby bass colored senko. I knew one of my fishing buddys was there the day before so i called him up and asked him what colors he was using sure enough baby bass is was one of the colors he was using

During the fishing season i can easily go through 30 to forty dollars in tackle a week(mostly soft plastics) not to mention stocking the cooler daily with drinks and lunch charging my marine batteries nightly makes the electric bill climb. I would guestimate that i spend between 1000 to 2000 yearly and i only fish april-nov

Had a dream the other night that i caught a large red snapper type fish that looked very bassy

Spin caster for the girlfriend ....... without it id be fixing her open face reel every other cast...no open face reels or baitcasting ones just spin caster's for the girlfriend.....

Definately want to become more confident with drop shoting and jigs

here in vt the department of fish and wildlife went over all of our states lakes and ponds with sonar, i just have to go to their website and download the pdf for whatever lake ill be fishing.... try your states dnr website

Touche sir

If the scale doesnt give you an exact weight to the ounce is it not the inaccurate one? digital luggage scales are acurate to the gram, ounce, kilogram, or lb i want an Exact weight when i land a trophy fish 2 oz is a difference between 9.8 and a 10 lber

Looking to compete in my first tournament in 2015 does anyone have any information on amateur tournaments in the north east? Thanks

My friends and i call any small bass 10' or less a "buck bass " dont ask me why.... no one i know calls the little ones "dinks"

Small yamamato senko at least 4 inches,that or a creature bait... 10-15 inch river/creek smallies all day long not huge but fun fish, smallies fight till the end!

Lets all remember that are local fish and game has set limits for bass in all our areas. that being said they expect people to harvest and eat their catch. However some people feel a moral responsibility to preserve big fish for future anglers to catch, it is within the moral compass of every angler to choose to keep or preform "cpr" (catch,photo,release).... in the end sometimes i choose to keep "eaters"(fish in between 2-4lbs) and release the "breaders" fish (4lbs to 10).....but thats just me ....... if you do decide to throw back the fish of a lifetime remember measuring tape, camera, and digital scale are a must for every single fishing expedition..... good luck

Mostly local however.... walmart has cheapest marine batteries around so it varies

I have an 11 foot john boat with 55lb thrust electric motor i have no depth finder or electronics (dont plan on geting any either)... polarized lenses are a must..... just slowly troll the banks of ur pond or river casting at the bank,downed trees,brush cover etc etc as far as fishing blind you should be standing up and "sight fishing" looking for beds underwater root piles rock beds ledges( with your polarized lenses on a good day you will be able to see as far as 8 to ten feet down) i catch loads of bass with out fancy electronics and with my flat bottom john boat i can get into places big bass boats would never dare to go.... get your self a minn kota and youl b styling good luck
