I set 3 coffee cups in the yard, one at 10 ft, one at 20 ft, and one at 30 ft, I also pick out leaves or whatever too.

You can sell what you don't use or keep it. But don't feel bad for taking a ton of tackle that you wouldn't use. Whatever you leave at home you will be kicking yourself for doing so, but taking it with you gives you no excuse. I recently went to Lake Table Rock, me and my partner filled every compartment in the boat with 20 rods and all our tackle, we used about 5 different baits. But would never have left anything at home. Although I do buy old soft plastics so if you want to get rid of them and are close by give me a call.

I can't believe I let that one get by me. Aquatic waters?? I was trying to use that 9 million dollar word for grass. As for the lateral pattern I don't know why some are more blotchy rather than smooth. I just know in my "aquatic lake" a bass that spends a while in deep water will be very light. We don't have the black backs mostly from a shortage of grass. We have many spotted bass/LM bass crosses that could cause a blotchy line in what looks like a LM, I really ain't worried as long as I catch'em over 15".

I've got a solution...... EA SPORTS Bass fishing game. I always catch a fish. lol,. don't worry I am having the same luck. Spring cannot come quick enough.

Largemouth Bass from extensive aquatic waters like Florida are darker in color to blend in with the shade from cover that they so much have, sometimes almost black. Bass from less aquatic waters like Kentucky Lake have a medium shade as most largemouths are seen in. The very light bass in the picture came from deep water recently. Bass that have been in deep water long enough are very light in color and pattern is difficult to see almost, no shadows were present where they came from, silver (or grey) is most difficult to see from deep water. This is why the color red is red until after about 5-8 ft, then the color of red goes to grey. As for the bass that may have black spots about a half dollar size that can be found anywhere around the body (I have seen the spot on the jaw-line at times), this means that the bass is in prespawn or coming out of prespawn. I have found that in early prespawn the spot is nearer the tail and in later prespawn the spot is nearer the head. Search the internet for more in depth answers.
