Any anglers here in the group?

Just caught this guy the other day.

Nice!

3 pounds or so? What'd you get her on?


Whereabouts in the country are you? Here in northern CA I haven't had a bite
since November. Not for lack of trying though. Weird weather patterns have thrown
everything off, I was certain that the spawn couldn't have even started, but then on Sunday
I saw some half inch fry swimming around.

Thats pretty sweet. We just went to Lake Naciemento. I raked in about 25 Spots and white bass. We were with a group of about 35 cops. My catch was on the low end. Some of these guys came in with 40+ white bass per boat. It was one hell of a fish fry.

EB you need to come south a bit. Naci produces some good fish. My cousins son caught a 16" long Crappy. We did not even have the boat in the water 5 minutes. The thing was a beast. We caught them on chrome and blue jerk baits.

Caught him on a 6" watermelon senko. Prob about 3 lbs. As for location I'm about an hour west of Philadelphia. We have been catching them all winter here. You have to fish everything slow and if you think you are fishing it slow, do it slower lol. This guy I just flipped it into a pocket and bam. He def wacked it though so I think it's go time here.

This was last month. Caught on  chart turtle blade spinner

Don't have time to fish right now.  Wish I did.  I also wish my daughter was able to go with me, she won't sit still long enough to even eat.

I used to be a die hard large mouth fisher but I finally got in to much trouble fishing devours illegally but hey that's where you can catch ten pounders.

For the last decade I prefer to surf fish for strippers and blues.

here is the last good fish I caught...2010...

Watermelon Senkos work pretty good out here too. One of my favorites for sure.

I have a 4 acre pond that is full of 10 pounders + and I have to hire someone to catch what I am supposed to catch out!! I try to catch at least 100 lbs of Bass a year. I do ask that all that is kept be under 2 lbs and if you catch one of them good ones that you would like to mount then take pics and measurements and get a repleca made. I love to brim fish and last year I caught a 9.5 pound on a fly rod with a brim the size of your hand for bait.... We actually I caught the brim and the bass tried to take it away from me. I have not broken the 12 lb mark yet but have came close.

Yep, watermelon Senkos.

I don't have the patience to fish slow enough in the winter I guess. This is also
my first season (just started last summer) so I haven't figured out winter patterns and
whatnot.

I'm right next to the famed (and fought over) CA delta. I'm looking at boats right now
and this will be my first year with one. No more shore fishing for me, though in some ways I prefer it.

This was last year on Lake Michigan. Was my wifes first fish over 10lb.
We try to get out as often as we can. We have a family property in Hesperia, MI.. 100 acers. with a 3 acer pond it, no bass but loaded with perch largest one to date is 17"

[mk162]

I love shore fishing ponds.  But for larger lakes, a boat is nearly a must.

[inkman996]

My iPad has really retarded auto corrects, I meant to say reservoirs and stripers not strippers.

My favorite bass technique was just before sun down on still water using surface lures nothing beats a monster mouth exploding out of the water and grabbing your lure


Like sam I like pike fishing with live minnows those suckers are some good eating!

Topwater is the jam.

Note my Zara Spook reference in Dan's antique lure thread.


Any of you largemouth guys ever fish at night?
