Super User fourbizz Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 For me, it is simple: Lilly Pads. I would love to fish for big fish in pads with a mission fish or frog. Quote
wisturkeyhunter Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I wish I had bigger bass that I could fish for all year. I wouldn't be willing to give up muskies and pike to get it though. Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 anything without snot grass.... x2 The ponds nearby are loaded with that crap. > Quote
bmadd Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 If you've seen the Joe Thomas/Lucky Craft videos on youtube where he's fishing a sammy on El Salto, then you would know exactly the kind of fishing I wish I could have for a few months. 5s and 6s on topwater with what seems like every other cast.

Olebiker Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I love it here in the Florida Panhandle, but it would be perfect if we had smallmouth bass. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 For me, it is simple: Lilly Pads. I would love to fish for big fish in pads with a mission fish or frog. Does this make you green with ***? Now, if I could get some of the fish you have out there in here, I'd have my dreams come true Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 Yeah, those are the ones. Geez, that fish is so big, it doesn't look right. We have these 3 pounders here, instead: Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 I'm not a "grass is greener" kind of guy. I love what I have, and wish I had more time to devote to it. And to really bring this sentiment home, I spent two years in urban industrial China. I loved the friends I made, but the landscape made me start hallucinating for home. The first morning back home (now in CO) I sat by a mountain stream and watched trout rise in crystal water to a chorus of robins. I then began bass fishing again (after years of trout chasing), and remember walking up to a marshy pond with my new son on my back, and letting out a long contented sigh. I found myself doing that often enough that my little boy, not yet talking, began to do the same ! Sure pleased me to share those wonderful "green" scenes with him. And still does. Let's just say I know where I'm NOT happy -where the grass is "browner". And I've got more green here than I can ever really cover. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 Tommy, there must be somthin' wrong with your camera. Or somehow I'm not seein' straight. John, ahhh, that's better, my eyeballs were starting to hurt. Nice bass, bro! Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 I have all the bass fishing I could ever want within 2 hours of home. Rivers and lakes with smallmouth, spotted bass, and largemouth. Tidal rivers with largemouth and smallmouth. Quote
thetr20one Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Here in Ohio we have a pretty diverse choice of lakes from natural lakes with lilies and grass to rocky reservoirs. And of course Lake Erie. So it's all about what type of fishing you feel like that day or outing. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 John, ahhh, that's better, my eyeballs were starting to hurt. Nice bass, bro! You know as well as I know, that's a Sodus Cookie Cutter, LOL. here is a "nice fish," last year's biggest, just over 6 lbs.: Quote
jimmieO Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I would LOVE to have some smallmouth. I would LOVE to have standing cypress trees. Home lakes are just about soup bowls. Not much grass, not many trees. Quote
farmpond1 Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Just more places to go. It could be worse but if we're dreaming, might as well dream big. Quote
reo Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 I am very happy with what I have BUT could do without the 4-5 month winter interruption. Thank goodness for bowhunting and our steelhead fishery. Quote
Super User 5bass Posted March 13, 2009 Super User Posted March 13, 2009 Grass. My home lake has very little grass. Some of the other lakes we fish in the state have grass and I really like fishing those lakes. My home lake does kind of cater to a crankbait though so I can't complain too much. Quote
Fish Chris Posted March 13, 2009 Posted March 13, 2009 Geeez..... I LOVE the fishing opportunities here in Nor Cal. So Cal has a little bigger top end size.... but then we have 300 lb + Sturgeon, and 8 lb + Smallmouths..... Now, had you asked, what "other kinds of fishing" do you wish you had..... Well, I'm envious of the huge Flatheads and Blue cats from down South. And I've always wanted to catch a big Musky. But I wouldn't trade what I have for any other place in the world. Peace, Fish Quote
mattm Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 I wish I had 75 degrees, a drizzle and 8mph southwest wind always. Quote
Bassboy15 Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 Something like that I heard this guy just gets lucky alot Quote
Super User David P Posted March 14, 2009 Super User Posted March 14, 2009 Something like that I heard this guy just gets lucky alot Haha, Thanks Catt! I'm plenty happy with the fishing we have here, nothing else I could ask for, not yet that is. Quote
