BassinfromNevada Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Hello everyone, I just started bass fishing about two months ago and love it! I was wondering how to improve my luck, so far I have been landing 1-3lb largemouth others at the lake catch alot bigger (so far people at the lake have not been helpful). Currently I have been using spinner bait. I do well in the morning but not so good in the afternoon and evening. The water is genneraly dark, mostly light winds, and I fish near the toolies. I say lake but they are more like marshes, I think the water ranges from 5-15ft at the most. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. Quote

Deb Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 HOWDY Read everything you can on here especially all the n-fo for beginners. Keep asking questions. There's a lot of folks here with extensive knowledge to help you. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. :'( Cause, if it ain't plastic, I don't throw it : deb Quote

eastkybass Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Welcome aboard. Try texas rigging a soft plastic and pegging the sinker then put the bait right up against the toolies and let it sink to the bottom. Let it set for a count of ten then slowly start working it in. You can either reel it in real slow or hop it back to you. Good luck and have fun. Quote
