BASS fisherman

Age is posted in the member's profile. Although some choose not to show that information.

Not many things on here make me laugh, but that one did.

Non of these pics are me, but of the guys in my bass club.

I like it because it is aluminum, so I can run it through some nasty stuff without many worries. Plus it is tiny so I can get it where big bass boats can't go. I'd like to deck it, but I want to get it out first to see what I think. I want to at least put a sound dampener down.

I got this today from an ad I saw on craigslist. He was asking $500.00 but through some negotiating I got it for $400, and got him to tow it to my house too. It's a 12' aluminum boat that came with a 7.5 HP Merc! Nothing special but I wanted something I could pull with my car and not ruin my cars transmission. The guy I got it from traded a bike he had for the boat whos previous owner was a Marine. He took very good care of the boat. I got this boat ay one heck of a steal!

Im just jaggin ya. If it catches fish, use it! For some reason though I can't catch a fish on a chatterbait, and usually end up snagging them and loosing them.

chatterbait................

There are so many good spinnerbait brands it is crazy!!! I personally like Terminator, Picasso, and Strike King spinnerbaits. Don't buy cheap 99cent sb's, they may work, but they won't last long, and they def don't work as well as a quality spinnerbait. Others may contend this, but I think you only need 3 maybe 4 colors. white chartruese white and chartruese black

Not really adding to this thread but I want to add this. For some reason, this has happened several times. When I go to fish a tournament and really want to do well, ie.. throwing confidence baits all day, trying to quadrupple cast my partner, and basically doing everything in my power to do well, I do poorly. But when I approach a tournament with no expectations, and just wanting to fish for fun that tournament, I do well.

I rig it with either the Zoom horny toad hook, or I'll use a 5/0 EWG hook.

they smell bad like STORM soft bait (wild eye shad , etc. ) ...... Storm baits although they do work, smell worse in my opinion. Alot worse.

I have noticed that smell too. Not sure if it's "normal" though. Zoom is the only plastics i notice it with though.

Last one for now.

Here is another.

This is a good one too......

or maybe this one?

or this?

How about this one?

I know you did, but the poll doesn't list jerkbaits, jigs, swimbaits, or topwaters.

What about jerkbaits, topwaters, jigs, and swimbaits?

"FAVORITE YOGI BERRA QUOTES" Yogi who? Oh ya..... "Hey boo boo, is that another pic-anic basket!" ;D

Top water smallies rock!! Smallies are the best, and top water fishing is the most exciting. Combine the two and you've got yourself one hell of a great memory! I've caught alot of smallies, but only 2 on topwater. One was far away and also on a puppy. The other was close and on a popper. The popper smallie must have flew 2 feet out of the water!! Nice fish!

Sounds like a chain letter that someone actually put some thought into. Not much, but some.

I would never keep a bass just to mount it. The only way I'd keep a fish of any size whether legal or not is if I was starving to death, had no money, and the only means by which to survive was to eat fish. In my opinion, you keep and mount the fish to remember the fun it brought you. I would just as soon take a picture, than kill a breeder fish just to please me everytime I look at it.

I would try to tell them they are fishing of private property first, from a distance of course. Then by there reaction to your advice, go from there. If they tell you to stick it, call the police. If they leave, let it go and hope they get the point. If they do comeback then def call the police. This year I stopped at a 17 acre county park to fish for a bit. Well I parked relitively close to where I was fishing and walked straight to my spot. I didn't happen to see the signs that stated the pond was off-limits for a 2 week period before trout season starts. Luckily 2 guys walking around the pond politely informed me that the pond was closed to fishing. Of course I felt like a complete idiot because when it comes down to it, it is the license holders responsibility to know where they can and can't fish. I was very greatful they told me because if I would have been caught, I could have lost my fishing license, my car, all my gear that I had with me, and faced a $300.00 fine not to mention a probation period where I couldn't buy a license. It was no joke and I was very thankful that they let me know I was in the wrong. It was honestly a case of not seeing the signs- and trust me, there were lots of em too. Just not on the way from my car to my fishing spot. There was a sign post that is always in the same spot, but the sign was missing.
