Rattletrap Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Rw. Its tough to fish at the lake I go to when it's a clear blue sky. You see the picture of the Cypress Lake on my posts. Average 6ft. No real drop offs. Slowly tapers to the edges. Post front. A storm just passed yesterday. What do you think? Quote
GobbleDog Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 "Cypress Lake".... that's not Lake Cypress in Florida, is it? Quote
Rattletrap Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Banks Lake in Lakeland Georgia. That's where they filmed the movie "Gator" with Burt Reynolds in the early 70's. It's about a 25 minute run from Valdosta, Ga. Quote
DDbasser Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Ya can't catch 'em from the couch!!!!! Anyday fishing is better than, well just about anything. Whether you catch 'em or not. This past Saturday I fished a 3 hour jackpot air temp was 57 degree's water temp ranged from 46-48 degree's and it rained for the better part of the 3 hours that we were on the water. We didn't get anything in the boat, my partner lost one, but 11 of 18 boats weighed in fish and 1st was a 5.8 largemouth, 2nd was a 4.8 smallmouth. (I had said in an earlier post that the smallmouth weighed 5.8, my mistake.) Go get 'em Quote
squid Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I would atleast enjoy the day on the boat, but that's just me, cause I have snow, ice and crapy weather to deal with....lol. Quote
Rattletrap Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 I'm loading up the boat now. I'll be leaving shortly. Quote
BassChaser57 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Any day of fishing---is better than staying home, sitting on your couch in your underwear watching TV wishing you were fishing. It probably will be a slow catching day but you will be doing what the rest of us trapped in offices or hotels wish we were doing. Glad to see you went --we will be awaiting the report. 8-) Quote
Rattletrap Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 I caught 3 keeper bass and 1 Pike. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 1, 2006 Super User Posted February 1, 2006 Yea! Getting out there was the right thing to do. Congrats! Quote
Rattletrap Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 It was a good day. I tried a different area to no avail. I went to where I had been catching them and caught 3, bang, bang, bang on a Bill Norman crankbait. Water Temp topped out at 61 degrees. Quote
BassChaser57 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Way to go--- You did the right thing. It is getting to be the right time of year to have some fantastic fishing. Quote

Rattletrap Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 Avid. Your weather should be better than mine right? Quote
Lorenzo Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I'm new at bass fishing and I have questions. Can you fish for bass at night? If so what should I use? jigs,spinnerbait,spoon Thanks Lorenzo Quote
earthworm77 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Actually it's kinda cold here in Florida too, it didn't hit 80 today. Break out the long sleeves! Quote

mudcatwilly Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Toss a line. Lord knows that when I've gone in perfect fishing conditions, I struck out. And when I went during sideways rain and chocolate milk water, I boated bass on a weird bait. It's the thrill of the hunt brother! Quote
DDbasser Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Now aren't you glad we twisted your arm and made you go fishing!!!! Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 R-TRAP- I'm looking at 38 degrees, 20mph N wind, blue skies. I also have a UPS truck with approximately 150 stops, 400 or so packages and a boss who wants more stock options so he's cut more resources than necessary. Do I go in to work? wanna trade decisions?
