Nuffsaid23 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Hello, I'am new in this forum. I'm italian and my english is not perfect. sorry! I noticed this interesting forum videos and photos of "black bass" ( so they come in our country). i would like know your principal technics of capture. thank Well black bass are what most of us call largemouth bass or the most popular species. Pretty much crankbaits and spinnerbaits are two great methods to catch them. Using a bait casting rod and reel if you have experience with them. If not then a spinning rod and reel are your best bet. You want to fish these lures in open water and when you get really good you can cast them close to cover (such as milfoil, lili pads, docks) and reel from there. Hope this helps, Talk soon
predator Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Thank for you help. however i'm a fishing man of largemouth, specially in artificial sport lakes. My curiosity is unit from fact that species is introduced in the our lakes, and in many cases is difficult catch them. They are astute. I used little artificial fish or earthworm of silicon. Maybe my rod fishing is witched. There are periods wherein the capture is best? thank for your councils and sorry for my english ugly

Maybe my rod fishing is witched. There are periods wherein the capture is best? thank for your councils and sorry for my english ugly welcome to the forums predator. slow dragging a weightless soft plastic lure on the bottom is v-e-r-y productive for catching bass. use any plastic you want with this technique: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/13845-guaranteed-to-catch-bass/ bass are more aggressive at dusk, dawn and at night. many lures work this time b/c they will chase them but topwater is the most fun b/c they explode on them. if the bite is good they will chase a buzzbait. but if it's slow use a lure that you can stall ie add pauses like a Pop-R. you can basically break lures down into horizontal, vertical and bottom contact. one lure can be worked many ways. be creative and experiment during each retrieve to find out what instigates the strike. often bass hold tight to cover (weeds, rocks, wood etc) and won't chase a lure. but they will still bite if you bounce the lure off the cover. my biggest bass come from slow dragging a soft plastic on the bottom or from slamming a reaction lure off a piece of cover. also rain and wind are your friend b/c the bass become more aggressive and roam. good luck and let us know how you make out
predator Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 thank for your councils. The technic of earthworm of silicon i many used. However many fishing men in our zone they used one technic of catch with one floating and lures live (bigattino or prawn of lake). But there is not a specific technic that it we permit of take many bass. are there misure from respect in your zone? In one of this days, i renovate my licence of fishing, and i will let you know if there is a good capture. i wait new councils thank
Brock Grigsby67 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Have any of yall tried fishing flutter spoons from the bank?
Fish_Whisperer Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Have any of yall tried fishing flutter spoons from the bank? I personally haven't, but have seen it used from the bank with success.
Bruce424 Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 I see a lot of snags happening just because of usually the shallowness of the waters. But then again if you find a steep enough drop. Probably would work then.
greentrout Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 You might be surprised the bass fishing that is done in big urban areas...good fishing...
boostr Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 You might be surprised the bass fishing that is done in big urban areas...good fishing... They are almost in every sustainable body of fresh water. I do cringe whenever I see those fish on the ground. I know some of us do it to take pictures for size comparison, and thats fine. These guys ar just doing it way to much for no reason.

This clip is from downtown Houston in the Galleria area which is an upscale well to do area with intense urban business activity. Makes a point. I don't like the craze of taking pictures at all. I don't do it and they go back in the water as quick as I can get them there regardless of size. Good fishin... 1
hawgenvy Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Question for greentrout: Is the term "green trout" (for LMB) common in east Texas? I thought that was strictly a south Louisiana peculiarity.
mikekurinka Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I only fish from bank right now as well, and I study every night and advanced techniques do not apply to bank Fisherman. I agree that some advanced techniques would be nice. I feel fish are Less likely to go after presentation that runs to the bank more than once. I still have good days but good post, this is my first reply
einscodek Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 What do you consider an advanced technique? All techniques are fairly simple and have a time and place.. from the bank you can do alot but you may need to adjust some technique a bit.. others you may not be able to do. I bank fish but have a boat and wont break it out until the weeds have choked the shorelines.. but until then much of the techniques are available to me even from the bank.

In my time in Texas, never heard the term used. Good fishin... Thanks for the info. I, too, lived in NOLA (8 years) and fished for green trout as well as numerous other species, several of which have unique Louisiana names (crappie are sac-a-lait, for another example). Calling largemouth bass "green trout" is as legitimate as calling them "bass." Though of course not a trout, the LMB is likewise not a true bass; it is in the sunfish family. Enjoyed your posts. Happy catching!
Wpcat6611 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Tried out the Baby Brush hog today let it fall then went with the stop an go method rigged it on a texas rig.

cabrela Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Tried out the Baby Brush hog today let it fall then went with the stop an go method rigged it on a texas rig. Love the baby brush hog! 1
Violinguy Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Hitting the banks tomorrow morning with two setups; light spinning with plastics and casting with a new crank I just bought. Looking forward to trying the crank - square billed Academy in house model. Will let you all know what happens.
hawgenvy Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 They use that term here in Pennsylvania too So LMB can be called "green trout" in Louisiana and Pennsylvania! Anywhere else, I wonder?
hawgenvy Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 From: THE AMUSEMENTS OF NEW ORLEANS. By B. E. Forman Jr. [From: Standard History of New Orleans, Louisiana] Edited by Henry Rightor, The Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago, 1900: "The sportsmen's stores in New Orleans keep in stock all sorts of rods and tackle and flies, where fishermen's outfits and paraphernalia can be had, and the trade is very considerable, as many men in New Orleans are enthusiastic fishermen, and some of them very expert. Green trout are usually caught with live bait, shrimp being used, though some believe in a bit of red flannel to attract the trout. There is always doubt about the red flannel, but it is supposed to appeal to the picturesque taste of the fish. There is no doubt about the shrimp. They will bite at shrimp, and the Radian fishermen, who are always experts in all sorts of fishing, always employ shrimp." This is, to me anyway, an interesting bit of fishing and New Orleans history. Live shrimp is an unusual bait for green trout (LM bass), but perhaps not in southern Louisiana, where bass are quite tolerant of mild salinity. I personally have cought largemouth bass in the Gulf of Mexico at the Mississippi river delta, where one cast lands a bass, the next might catch a flounder or a red drum. The bit of red flannel is analogous to the red plastic beads sometimes used today. Apparently, it appeals to their "picturesque taste!" So, anyway, who are the "Radian fishermen?" Would love to know! Cajun? Perhaps one of you guys can figure it out. (Google turned up nothing so far on Radians.) PS: "Radian" is a misspelling of "Cadian," which is a once common misspelling of "Acadian," which then became "Cadjian" and is now the misspelled and mispronounced (but currently accepted) "Cajun."
Wpcat6611 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Love the baby brush hog! Ya I will be getting more a sams is opening in my town tomorrow hopefully they sell them in bulk!
