GatorTom Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 On my home lake, I usually catch 20-30 if I'm onto a pattern for the dinks ;D If I'm catching quality bass, it's usually around 5-10 nice bass. Quote
Redtail Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 If I averaged out for the whole season (good days and bad), I would say about one fish per hour. Quote
billbrum Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 I only bass fish in the summer, so it varies a lot. But, it really depends on what lake and how well the fish are biting. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted June 18, 2008 Super User Posted June 18, 2008 After checking last year's fishing log, I averaged anywhere from 4-6 per trip. Falcon Quote
Justin Mahaney Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 Wind, rain, sun, over cast, hail, snow.. no matter what the conditions are I seem to be able to bring atleast 3-4 in an hour on average. Every condition has its ups and downs, so weather and time should not vary your results too much! Quote
bassbob08 Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 My avg. for the past 3 times ive been out is 12. Quote
simplejoe Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 If I go out by myself I catch 3-6 in a couple hours, If i'm with my kids I catch 1 or 2 if I'm with my wife I get a big fat 0.. ;D Quote
Davis Posted June 18, 2008 Posted June 18, 2008 if I'm with my wife I get a big fat 0.. ;D Ain't that the truth. Not sure what it is. Last year I took my wife smallie fishing.....not even a bite. Took her to my dads pond....she pulled in a couple of 3lbers and I got..........nothing. She is horrible luck. :-X ;D Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted June 19, 2008 Super User Posted June 19, 2008 Enough to keep me going back Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted June 19, 2008 Super User Posted June 19, 2008 Since you asked for a Summer catch average, Summer starts on June 20 and ends on Sept 20. During that period last year, I averaged 24.3 bass per trip on 11 different bodies of water. For 2006, I averaged 26.6 per trip on 16 different bodies of water. Quote

Super User grimlin Posted June 19, 2008 Super User Posted June 19, 2008 You know something....every time i skunk out there's a lady with her husband next to me. Then no matter where else i go that day i seem to have rotten luck. Lately it's been 1 every hour or 2,however last week of may and first week of june i was hammering smallmouths 3 per hour. Quote
Ambergris Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 The lake i fish most is pretty untouched and on a typical day you can pretty much catch as many as you want. The downside is that when I travel to other areas and get skunked (which is often) it stings that much more! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted June 19, 2008 Super User Posted June 19, 2008 Welcome aboard! Sounds like a pretty remarkable lake. What size is typical and what is the best you've caught on that water? 8-) Quote
Ambergris Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Welcome aboard! Sounds like a pretty remarkable lake. What size is typical and what is the best you've caught on that water? 8-) Glad to be here! It's not a big lake, so the typical size is on the smaller side depending on what area of the lake you fish, but in the 1.5lbs range is the average. I don't bring a scale out with me, but the best I've done is maybe around 3.25-3.5lbs from there. -edit- actually, after looking at some the photos on the site with estimated weights, the best I've pulled from the lake is closer to 4.5lbs. I'm not very experienced at estimated weight so the figures could vary. Here's a link to a shot of a decent crappie from the end of last summer. If you think of it in typical largemouth to crappie size for a lake, this is an above average crappie for the lake, maybe that will give you a sense of the average largemouth. http: //i99.photobucket.com/albums/l289/plaurelli/crappie.jpg?t=1213899994 I'm not able to post links yet, so i just put two spaces after the http: above. Take the spaces out to see it... Quote
bubbler Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 well at lake casitas u are lucky to catch one n the winter, bt in the summer ans tin the spring then it is good Quote
Ambergris Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I've got a short movie I made which shows several of the fish from the lake, so once I get these ten posts I'll put it up... ...I've never tried fishing it in the winter, i'd rather use my imagination sitting by a fire. Quote
bkoguy07 Posted June 19, 2008 Author Posted June 19, 2008 Fishing in the winter is the best... with gloves and a nice jacket! I've caught some big ones in the winter... Quote
Ambergris Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Well, I'll fish the ocean into early december and certain other salt water areas all year, but something about ice fishing in the winter never stuck with me. I think it's the idea of not being quite as active, but since I've never tried it I should do it and then see if I don't like it... Quote
bkoguy07 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Posted June 20, 2008 Oh, your water has ice in the winter? Lol in NC it doesnt get cold enough to ice fish. Quote
jvox Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I scare way more with my kayak than I catch haha ;D Quote
