Randall Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 For the past few weeks I have been fishing a numbers area on Varner because of the large number of three to seven pound bass there and the fact that on most days you could catch 20 to 40 fish there since they were stacked up there with big schools of shad. Most days the best five was 15lbs to 25lbs but there is almost zero chance at a fish over seven pounds in this area. So the last two days I decided to go fish for bigger fish since a cold front or two had slowed the fishing in that area. Friday I fished with Adam (aka Doghouse) and Saturday I fished Ryan (aka Senko77). Friday we only caught two fish. A two pounder and a nine pounder. Adam got the nine pounder on a new hard swimbait we were trying out to see if it would catch us some fish. The fish hit on the second cast with the new bait. Today Ryan only wanted to fish for big ones so we decided not to catch a two pounder and only caught a nine pounder. We didn't catch a bunch but it felt good to hit some big bass spots and catch a couple big ones. There is a larger photo of Ryan's fish in a post he made. Quote

buzzbaitfool12 Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I dont know what is bigger, the bass or adams head..lol..nice fish Quote
Super User Gatorbassman Posted March 3, 2008 Super User Posted March 3, 2008 Many people don't know this but Adam (Doghouse) is the guy who introduced me to bass fishing. That man can find a way to catch a bass on a spinnerbait in any condition. Great fish Adam. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 3, 2008 Super User Posted March 3, 2008 Nice fish! You guys are very fortunate to have such a productive fishery. Congratulations on some outstanding bass. 8-) Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 3, 2008 Super User Posted March 3, 2008 Awesome bass, guys. I'm amazed at the number of huge fish you guys pull out out of that lake. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 3, 2008 Super User Posted March 3, 2008 Randall, I was just reading some information about Lake Varner and it sounds like an awesome lake. I see that boats with gas motors and tanks aren't allowed on the lake. Do you guys fish from jon boats and what setup do you have with your trolling motors to fish this 800 acre lake? (24 or 36 volts?) Quote

(24 or 36 volts?) Many people fish from jonboats but the most comfortable way is to find an aluminum bass boat with a blown motor and convert it to an all trolling motor boat. You will see all kinds of motor set ups 12V to 6hp electric outboards. I use a 12V setup with three motors. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 5, 2008 Super User Posted March 5, 2008 Randall, you never cease to amaze, you are really dialed in on Lake Varner! Roger Quote
