Hi Guys I wanted to pick your brains, when it comes to a Swim Jig, Football Jig and Stand Up Jig, what do you look for in color, size, shape of the head,features and which of the above for different clarity of water and seasons etc when you go to your local tackle shop to buy some jigs? Please post pics also if you want of your favorite jigs. I am doing a survey for our Fishing Club on what other countries prefer and use during different seasons and conditions.

Biggest Fish wins Bluebasser86!

Ok sorry guys,my mistake, Mid Day, Full on summer, fairly clean water and,grass, lily's and shallow to very steep drop offs

Hi Guys I have a couple questions about a scenario for you? 10 fisherman in a 1hour Bass Fishing showdown, what technique and what lure or lures would you use? The winner of the 1hour showdown wins the Tournament!! Please be specific, Lure Brand, Color and type of lure and what technique!

Nice Paul Roberts, that sounds amazing, that's why I want to come to the States, to experience the nature and wildlife there which is so beautiful, and of course the amazing fishing!! That's why its a life long dream of mine, I want to fish one of those enormous lakes of yours!! I do know the term Kingfisher yes!! A common term in SA!!

Paul Roberts, thanks, love being on this forum, maybe one day ill come to the States for a fishing trip(Dream of mine) tight lines!!

Hi Guys I have had some bad luck with my old trusty Private Farm lakes, but I recently got access to another Farm and Bingo!!! Well Maintained and Well looked after Private lake!! Got the following two beauties and many other decent sized fish, population is healthy in this lake!!

Thanks for all the Secrets guys!!!

Thanks guys,I know little about the lake,it is only fished once a year just for this comp,you cannot access it any other time of year,but apparently the fishing is good!There is also no maps or info on the lake,all I know its got loads of lily pads areas,grassy areas,dried trees and also deep points.That is all I know, so im going in blind!!

Hi Guys I am fishing a Kayak Bass Competition on the 7th and 8th of February 2015, this will be my first Comp ever! We are at the height of Summer in February in South Africa, the first day of the comp starts mid day at 13:00, what tactics would you guys suggest, lures, set ups deep, shallow etc? Please all assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks guys, seem you never to old to learn something new!! I will look at Hydrilla in a different way now!!

Hi BraininMD, I agree it can be very productive and I know how to fish it, but if its from bottom all the way to the surface, surely fish cant thrive in it?

Hi Guys I went fishing this weekend at a new lake, a beautiful lake, clean water amazing structure everywhere, but over run by Hydrilla, worst I have seen so far!! What effect does Hydrilla have on the lake's eco system and what is a known "Cure" for this pest? As i see it more and more often in our small ponds and small lakes.
