Lobster Monster Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I live in Florida, thus I'm always going Largemouth fishing. However, my Mother's side of the family lives in North Missouri and I go there every spring and end up fishing a totally secluded, unfished river that my uncle has land on. Literally every spring I can throw small tubes across the river and catch 50 to 60 smallmouth a day ranging from 1lb to up to 8 lbs. I've had days where I've caught five 6lbers in a row in the exact same spot. There's sunken logs, dead trees, rocky riffles, deep dropoffs and holes, muddly hills, and grassy flats. I can be totally alone for hours fishing up and down this river, watching deer come down to drink, and eagles fly overhead. The other fun part is that I never know what's hitting my lure because I can catch Walleye, Crappie, Trout, Largemouth, Huge bluegill, and catfish. It's the most amazing fishing experience I've ever had in my life, even including the times I've caught double digit LMBs in Florida. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted February 21, 2009 Super User Posted February 21, 2009 Less than 6 feet of slightly stained water, brush everywhere, and a jig on the end of my line.x2 Quote

Reelady Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 My favorite fishing situation is when during a tournament, I am catching fish like crazy and everyone else isn't lol... kidding... okay not really... but another one of my favorite situations is when there is an incredible topwater bite that just won't quit. That, to me, is by far the most exciting way to catch fish Quote

BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted February 21, 2009 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted February 21, 2009 Spookin over brush piles in the afternoon late summer. The frog bite over topped out hydrilla on a cloudy day. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 Middle of the day, middle of the summer, hot, bluebird skies. Thick matted weeds, and flipping stick in hand. Quote
Super User Muddy Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 When ever I get to go fishing 8-) Quote
central_fl_fishin Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 May, in Florida, fishing the grass banks finesse style with ultra-light gear. Just when the sun goes down. BAM! fish on! Quote
flipinstick88 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Anytime the fish are shallow and will crush a topwater frog. It doesn't get any better than that! /walk walk walk KABOOM!!!! Then the screech of braid tearing through the rod guides!! :) Quote
MichiganFisherman Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 A warm summer night, full moon, private pond, glug glug glug SPLOOSH!... yeahhh. ;D Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 22, 2009 Super User Posted February 22, 2009 1. Overcast skies with a slight breeze to put some disturbance on the water. 2. Bluebird skies putting the bass under docks and piers plus close to the structure. 3. A private pond with some beautiful cover and I am the only one who fishes it. I love #3. It is where I go to try out new baits and techniques. Last year I threw a drop shot and caught two six-pounders plus some nice two and three pound bass. I got embarrassed so I stopped throwing the drop shot as I learned within a half hour....it works great! This year I will try more Shaky Head presentations at the pond plus KVD's Sexy Shad crankbaits to see how they perform. Come on warm weather. Come on Dogwoods. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I like it when a large storm settles in for 4-5 days of on/off rain. Varied intensity is what I like. When it goes from a drizzle to a steady rain to a drizzle to fog to drizzle, etc. Add 5 mph of S wind, a wake bait and how ever many sick days you have left. This year I will try more Shaky Head presentations at the pond plus KVD's Sexy Shad crankbaits to see how they perform. Don't neglect the Spro BBZ-1 shad!!!!! Quote
Hannons Hound Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Fishing over night during summer months. Warm overcast days, foggy and a some rain ;D Punching the slop with jigs under clear bright skies 8-) Quote
christopherjake Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Early in the morning when I get to my fishing spot, put down the trolling motor, turn on the fish finder. Oh yeah! Quote
