    Fishing has been the most  most important thing in my life since I can remember. For better or worse it still pretty much is. Eat, sleep, and dream fishing. I fish every day off year around. All weather any weather. Its actually an addiction obsession. I mean even writing this I have been online surfing for over three hours and its all been about fishing lol!

    I don't know about bond lake the big lake I used to do good in but I got skunked there the last two years. Granted I only tried a couple times a year. I went this past week and the water seemed very cloudy? not sure if that is dying weeds or run off or wind or some combination? I am just used to it being pretty clear. I had my yak out in the middle and your not missing anything lol. Actually it was my first time out with my first fishing yak. Found out that lake is pointless for fishfinders and pedals to shallow to and weedy to use either. I just joined this site last year but it seemed there were way more posts last year. If anybody has a kayak and wants to go out let me know. The larger bodies of water intimidate me so I would rather have some company especially someone who has some confidence where ever we go I had the worst winter/spring trout season of my life which led to an almost non existent spring/early summer bass season so confidence is tick poor right now. I managed to get out 4 times this past week 3 yak trips and one shore trip a total of 22 LMB on my week long staycation. Just wish most of the bass weren't dinks lol. It was good to get the skunk off the yak though and just good to be out fishing regardless!

    Wow not many replies here for the the 2017 bass season so far. I hope people are doing better than me1 this is the worst spring/early summer I can ever remember having. granted I haven't gotten out like i normally do in part because I have been trying to get this fishing kayak set up the way I want it (but there are a lot of other factors). How is everybodies fishing season going?

    My first smallie of the year. I caught it in the lower niagara river. I was actually trying to catch a steelhead. So far this spring I have been skunked for steelhead. The first spring I have ever been skunked for steelhead since I started fishing them about 6 years ago. If anybody knows a person or place that will customize a fishing kayak with things like fish finder, cables, transducers, etc please let me know I am not mechanically inclined and don't mind paying for things to be done right. As soon as I find a place to do ii I am buying the kayak. I am hoping that place in oak orchard will match the price I found online but i haven't heard anything back yet. not sure why that pic came up sideways it looked straight on my computer?

    I will be in boca raton from march 15th-20. All I do is fish while I am there I probably have already scouted 100 spots with google both fresh and salt/brackish. I live in buffalo ny and this trip is my yearly to visit my parents. I pretty much just fish the whole time I am there so if anybody wants any company while I am there or has any tips for this time of year or general productive area for me to check out I would appreciate it! I know there are some descent pea canals by my parents but they might be done spawning by now and I exclusively use artificials and I am catch and release only. I am always fishing with the intent of breaking PBs in whatever species I catch take some quick pics and release. Thanks for taking the time to read this! oh I also don't mind driving I drove four hours to catch tarpon in flamingo city during my last trip!

    the lake behind the amherst police station has some shore access. The lake that is farther into the Audubon development has almost 100% shore access but this makes it the most pressured and may effect how easy it is to catch fish. harwood lake is south of us in franklinville

    I think like with most other places its feast or famine. I either do well there or catch nothing. I think maybe its me though? some like the pros or semi pros can get bass to bite when they are not biting. Not me not sure I will ever get there if it hasn't happened over 40 years lol.........
  10. Sean Barbour
    I found that spot fished it for about an hour and a half. No bites except panfish didn't even see a bass? a bunch of people fishing. I didn't see anybody catching.......color of the water kind a reminds me of hyde park......
  11. Sean Barbour
    are you talking about townline rd. in tonawanda? I see one there assumed it was posted?

    ended up with four threw everything at em finally got one on a c-rig lizard but I wasn't even fishing it anymore went to reel it in and he grabbed it. The other three were one a blue and brown crayfish imitation totally out of my comfort zone just trying to make it move enough that the claws shook. Tough day but at least I caught some and I didn't let being skunked beat me. Back to work tomorrow vacations are never long enough.

    goin back again today. maybe a glutton for punishment but I have to see what happens. To be continued......

    I even broke out the ned rig which I have been trying to get myself confident with only tried it a few times mostly because most places I fish aree to weedy. I just can't seem to get bit with it except for sunfish or perch no fish caught. Hard to get myself to commit more time to fishing it when I can't seem to catch I'm in the same boat with bass jigs every time I fish them I catch nothing so I don't use them I feel like i must be doing something wrong because I know that for some these are go to confidence baits.

    I went back to the same spots I went to yesterday today. I was all excited it was one of those days where I thought I had the fish figured out. Tried the same lures and presentation in different spots on the lakes thinking I could pick fish up the same as yesterday. I didn't even get a bite. So I went and tried the spots I fished yesterday still no bites. Switched up lures, presentation, color. About the only thing I didn't try was throwing crankbaits or soft jerk baits. Maybe I should have but it just seems in my head if slower finesse techniques aren't working than chances are faster reaction baits won't work? I never test the theory though so I could be wrong? Anybody get any bass today?

    I fished harwood and case lake in Cattaraugus county. My best fishing day of the summer as far as size goes all but one over three pounds. The biggest was 5# which may be the biggest bass I have ever caught in the dog days of summer most of my big bass are spring fish and winter fish down south. This is the 5#
