BassAssassin726 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I live in Philadelphia and Im looking for places i can catch big bass. I dont mean 10 pounders or anything. Just some 5,6,7, pounders. For me a 3 pound fish is big and id like to change that. I live right along the Delaware River but i dont own a boat so Im bank fishing. Anyone from this area know of any spots with quality bass?

flyeaglesfly5186 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Schuylkill river smallies can get to the 5-6 range. I wade that river all the time. mostly north of birdsboro but there's plenty of them in there. I'd suggest tubes on a jig head. Quote
ClackerBuzz Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 south jersey! they have some amazing water shed areas. that's were i do 90% of my fishing now. pick up the book "in pursuit of giant bass" by bill murphy $11 on ebay. i'm searching for 5-10lb bass only now. its really about going deep (could be 8ft if in a small pond) and slowing down the presentation (more finesse fishing; chasing lures is more of a small/medium size fish trait). maybe i can show you some of my snj spots. good luck 1 Quote
Mad Fisherman Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I live in Central NJ and even though they are rare, I have caught several in the 7-9 lb range, two in the 10-12 lb range, and hundreds around 5 lbs. Quote
susky killer Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Nockamixon in the spring has some decent numbers of 5lb. plus bass that are catchable. Wade flats and throw spinnerbaits or swimbaits in April and May. Quote
Megastink Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 I live in Telford and fish with clackerbuzz on e and a while WHENEVER HE CALLS ME!!!!!! Haha, anyway, Green Lane Reservoir, though expensive to rent a boat, produces some big bass, and often. I always get a few fours when I go there. I have a buddy who caught an 8.5 during POST spawn. They're in there... Quote
