any good advice for large mouth bass in cape cod in June?

thanks everyone. that was all super helpful. Now left hand or right hand reel? and are the rod eyes up (facing Sky) while reeling or down (facing the water) like a spinning rod?? thank you

I've been bass fishing with a spinning rod for years now. now i want to try a baitcaster. looked at new shimano DC 150 reel. any idea what rod to pair it with? also besides a further cast why use a bait caster? thanks

thanks i ordered the nrx 852s!!!!!!

thanks guys helpful

Im about to purchase the G Loomis 852s rod and wonder if anyone has experience with it. I also have a st Croix legend elite 7' ML rod. Any idea how it compares? I fish plastics typically 5" seniors and similar worms

well i split my casts between the 7 foot ML ad the 6-6 Light st croix. more fight with the light but i like both. waters are clear on my lake and i land a lot of large mouth. biggest was 5.7 lbs and happened to land it on the light pole hell of a fight and super fun. following weekend i landed a 5.2 large mouth on the ML also a great fight. both had the heart beating like mad and reminds me why i love fishing so much. Im pretty much a rookie as i don't know about the weights of my lures etc. i throw mostly 4-6" plastics texas rigged and it all goes pretty well. can't get enough. only sorry now its winter in new england so have to wait until next april to get back out. most fishing off a native 10" propel kayak and its absolutely awesome.

thanks much. its not clear why u like the ML so much more. its so thick compared to the light. just fished this morning and water is cloudy due to rain. didn't catch any. too cold? any advice?

fishing for large mouth bass. i have a light st croix fast action rod and a med light st croix fast action rod. what do you like better and why?

ok green growth about ten feet deep?

i guess my worms are plastic. i just call them rubber

using a hybrid and a straight mono now. like mono better. smoother

Any fall fishing tips with rubber worms? fall is here in cape cod, gonna fish in th early am, cooling down will the fish go deeper?

very helpful thanks. i ordered some of the sun line 11 lb and will check it out this weekend

thanks all very helpful. just ordered some 11 lb Sunline

ok thanks looking for strongest mono cause i don't like the way braid vibrates or moves in water best meaning closets to fluorocarbon or braid. i ike the way mono feels l i like fishing the lakes in cape cod

hey what is the very very best mono line in 8 lb test?

how big was your pickerel. I catch chain pickerel a lot.

thanks again. I guess thats it. My lake is very clear and i can't get my head around the bright color the way it doesn't sink. i also am not great at knots to line to line. when its in your head i think i should just stick with what i like. if i was a pro i would go braid so for now i need to find the very very best 8 lb mono? any advice?

i fish mostly plastics, senkos etc. i agree with brian on the vibration noise. was fishing two rods this weekend. one with braid one with mono. mono pulled in a sweet 5.2 lb large mouth. caught a few with braided but more with mono. maybe its in my head. Thanks for all the feedback!

is there any mono as strong as braid? the vibration is ok but my gear is so good and light i seem to do better with mono. i want to have confidence in braid. mine is equivalent and as strong as 20 lb test so maybe that is my problem? too thick?

my braided in bright green I'm afraid the fish see it ? also what test do u recommend and what color? catching large mouth i can feel my braided vibrating my pole and don't like that either does all braided do that?

anyone have preference of braided line over mono? have a braided and mono lined rods. braided seems to vibrate on the eyes of the pole i don't love it. am i using it wrong? caught a 5.2 lb lm on mono this morning

caught a good pickerel no bass today!

cool sarc what action do you use?
