Jaydoublewho Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Hey, im new to forums, never really used em. I live in upstate ny and im an avid fly fisher for trout but ive never really actively fished for bass im just now starting to use spin reels and bait casters over my fly rod. The water here isnt all that great and i mainly fish in ponds and rivers so ive been dealing with ALOT of bluegill lately and they've been getting in the way. How different from trout fishing is bass. Could i be doing something wrong?And what should i use for the susquehanna river (has a moderate current, visibility is usually fair and water is generally on the cooler side). Ive been slow working a topwater frog, a suspending minnow, and still fishing an occasional nightcrawler with absolutely no luck. any advice would help like i said im new to bass and would really like to land some. Thank you Quote
Super User Darren. Posted May 4, 2016 Super User Posted May 4, 2016 Welcome aboard! There are a number of guys here that live in NY who can probably chime in about the waters you're fishing. For me, a very successful presentation is the wacky rig thrown by laydowns, docks, bushes, and so on. The key is patience, and letting the worm fall and shimmy on its own. You can look up the "wacky rig" in our articles section, there is a lot there and here in the forums. Best of luck. Quote
