Thanks for making this such a HUGE topic. Thanks guys!

For me the bank of my favorite lake is all sand and rock

Either a 5' wacky rigged Senko or a KVD sexy shad

I like fishing rock cover. What about you guys?

Yes, I was in a boat for 2 hours straight. Got dizzy from the swaying, went to a beach area, lost ny balance and just fell WITH my rod into the water. good times.

So, I'm fishing a man made reservoir in northern Cali. I get to my favorite spot just as the sun is coming up. And I see 3 HUGE bass creeping around the dock. So me and my brother start fishing immediately. And wouldn't you know it, I got a bite. We fought for 30 seconds, and then all I hear is *SNAP* Anyways, Moral of the story is: Don't get so excited about fishing that you mess up a double cinch knot.

I dont know if this has a name or not, but my dad taught me this. You just reel up you line until you can't anymore then you hold the line and pull back. and then you release your line. and it should come right out! Just wanted to share.

Whats so different about square bill cranks? Thanks

so, i was fishing in some really dense grass and i got snagged on a rock. i tried to just yank it out, and then a decent bass took it and dislodged it from the rock and i got my crankbait back. has this happened to anyone else?

so i was reading an article on the website about what you should have in your tackle box. I got to the part where it said that you should carry spare rod tips because yours might break. when i saw this i was like "pfft i never broke a rod tip before, that will never happen." A couple hours later at the lake, guess what ? yup, i tried to set the hook so hard my rod tip broke off. Thats what i get for being so oblivious to the fact that rods can break.

I was fishing at lake Sonoma when a huge bass cuts me off. About 10 minutes later i caught the same fish with my hook still in its mouth!

what kind of lures work best when the bass are in 20-25 feet of water?

yes. yes it is

never leave a rod with live bait on off the side of the boat... thats how you lose rods. lol

the water level isnt that high anymore though.pic wasnt recent

im going to a lake soon and every time I have been there i never catch anything. It is a decent size reservoir with lots of weeds and grass underwater but since the state stocks rainbows and channel cats that's all people fish for. I know for a fact that there are bass here, but i never catch any. any tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

im in the bay area pretty far from oroville but its my fav lake

i want to know some of your exciting moments while you were fishing! For me it was when i caught a 9 pound catfish on 6 pound test(not that exciting, but i was younger.)

i was browsing the site and decided to join after finding some very helpful tips. Good luck on the water to everybody!
