    Just got back from talking to the guy about his old Pond Prowler, and he was super nice and very helpful. His Granddad bought this boat new 13 years ago for them to use on his pond, so they never titled it. It hasn’t been used much but has been sitting a long time with a small crack on the upper rim and a bump on the corner that you can see in the pictures in my truck - but he even had the cracked plastic pieces we can put back together, so that will make it easier. This thing was pretty heavy - we didn’t hear water sloshing around in it, but I wonder if it has water in it from a long time back. I need to turn it up and see what drains out. I’m praying it will be worth the $95 a friend and I put in it, but I think it will be. He signed a bill of sale with the info on it, but I doubt we'll ever try to title it. If we need to later on at least we can hassle with DNR with the info I have now. I’m headed out to eat tonight, so I will be rednecking it with a boat in the back of the truck tonight. ?‍♀️ ?

    Looking for an all around baitcaster to pair with a 7’3” MH legend tournament I just got from my fiancé for Xmas. Sadly I have to wait to use it as I live in Minnesota but heading to Newton Lake (top 20 bass fishing lake) in Southern IL in April. I have Shimano SLX-DC, Daiwa tatula SV TW 103, and Lews Pro Ti reels. They’re all great but would love some input on what to pair with a “do it all” rod. I primarily bass fish and occasionally go for pike. I am pretty thrifty when it comes to finding deals so feel free to throw a $300 reel on here as a suggestion if you think it’s worth the extra $$$. Thanks in advance!!

    Please allow me the opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Chris and have a great passion for bass fishing. In March of 2021 I quit my job to travel the country in search of Giant Bass. I sold my house in August and have been traveling since November. I have managed to catch some good sized bass but nothing I would consider what I set of in search of. Thanks for allowing me to introduce myself.

    While many of us banglers spend the summer wishing we had a fancy boat to go out and search for schooling fish with some fancy side imaging, many of us miss out on some great opportunities to be had from the shore for some truly giant bass. Entailed is a step by step analysis of how to get more bites this summer fishing pressured public water that you can do owning one combo and 15$ in baits. you will need 1 fishing rod capable of throwing atleast a 1/2 oz jig ( you don’t have to use a trailer but it does up your chances of a catch while your mapping the bottom) 2 a 1/2 - 3/4 oz football jig maybe even 1 oz if you believe the water to be over 30 Ft deep 3 4/0 worm hooks and 1/4-3/8 oz bullet weights 4 a pack of your favorite plastics mine are midsize brush hogs / curly tail worms/ or rage bugs / rage craws / the original trick worm or squirrel tail worm pro tip if you have a dock or pier to fish off of make a couple cast under or around it. It stinks to see a 5 lber swim out from under a dock you walked on 1. grab a 1/2-3/4 oz football jig and slowly drag it along the bottom casting as far as you can. Eventually you will feel some cover in the deeper water make a mental note of about where you notice the most cover these will be your high percentage areas 2. Rig a non pegged Texas rig and pick a plastic I normally start with a creature style bait or curly tail worm 3 drag your Texas rig extremely slowly through your high percentage areas if you think your going slow slow down don’t be afraid to stroke or hop your plastics in the high percentage areas but be sure to pause after 4 if nothing bites your creature bait a shakeyheads squirrel or trick worm can work well for finicky fish 5 catch some monsters my pb of 9lbs 9 oz came off of this exact technique on a full size brush hog with a slightly smaller 9lb 1 oz as well on a public lake this technique can be deadly around points witch most boat launches atleast on my lake are situated near but in the heat of the summer when the fish move deep during the day this can be an Awesome way to catch fish at cookouts and Picnics I hope this helps some of you bankers this summer hook into some giant fish it is really helpful when you go somewhere you have never fished before and can teach you some new techniques besides a wacky senko. This even offers the opportunity of lucking into a school and catching a monsterous amount of fish.

    Besides a love of fishing in general, the thing that keeps me going in bass fishing can be summed up in one word. Learning. After sixty years of fishing I'm still learning things. I don't think we can ever learn everything there is in bass fishing. What Keeps you going? What keeps you still interested in this sport?

    Bass fishing may mean different things to different fisherman. For some, it could be targeting the biggest bass. For others, it could mean catching numbers of fish, regardless of size. Still for others, it could be winning a tournament, and placing in the money. Then, there's another group. These are people who don't put a big emphasis on size or numbers, but just like being out there, near the water, and enjoy the whole act of fishing, catching bass if and when that happens. It may be hard to determine what makes a successful bass fisherman, and, how to measure success in this sport. It means different things to different fisherman. In your own opinion, what makes a successful bass fisherman? How do you measure success in bass fishing? I fall into the latter group. I love to catch bass, but I also love casting, finding fish, choosing the correct bait and retrieve. If I catch fish, it only makes the day better. But if not, I'm still happy, just being out there. What's your own measure of success in bass fishing?

    Hey I'm plan to do alot of fishing out around Springfield Massachusetts and western Massachusetts in general. I usually spend my time looking for trophy size bass in Spencer ma. But out in western Massachusetts as far as I know outside of lake congamond and the quabin there Is not as far as I know a good concentration of big bass. I been to water shops pond, five mile pond and all the rest in between and maybe I'm missing a good lake,pond or river to check out.. would like some advice as to where to go, and some advice on the striper fishing in the Connecticut river at the western Massachusetts section.

    I am a member of the Houston Bass Bandits. Recently, we were taking suggestions for lakes to fish next season. There is a lot of useful information online when you start digging around. In my search for ideas, I catalogued results from over 600 tournaments over the last 5 years in East Texas alone and out together some analysis of the data you may find useful. Here are some of the key visuals from the data analysis. Hope you find them helpful! Send me an email if you’d like the file behind the visuals. Mike Welch michaeltwelchag04@gmail.com

    Hi BR, Here is a video that centers about what I would pack into a Fall Bass Fishing Box. 3 baits for Deep and 3 Baits for Shallow to simplify things during what could be one of the top times for Junk fish. Hope you like it! JN

    Is there anywhere in NY where I can rent a bass boat for lets say 2 weeks and take it wherever I want and then bring it back to the same place when I am done? We are going on a large trip in August and buddy's boat is out of commission until September and we need a boat. Also do Bass Pro or Cabelas rent out boats as well? Thanks to whoever answers.
