Bass fishing question #2?
Again same as before, I already have my answer to this question wrote down on notepad. So the first that can get the closes to it will get the best answer.
Also again, I am not doing this for my health, lol. There are alot of young Bass fishermen/women out there in Yahoo land that may acually learn something from this. Seeing everyones different techiqunes, etc…
You are fishing a lake that you never fished before. The lake is man made, dam at one end, creek fed on the other with several shallow coves. The lake is only 340 acres, electric motors only. Its mid May water is clear, temp 63 degrees, weather: cloudy with a chance of showers 65 degrees. Predominately largemouth with some perch, walleyes and some smallies. The lake has no structure what so ever, like fishing a cereal bowl. Although 30% of the lake is full of hydrilla grass in depths from 6 to 2 ft. Bass are in pre-spawn, spawn and post-spawn modes. What would be your best approach for the largemouth?

I would without question use one of my mini-king spinnerbaits and lay it right over their beds and irritate the hell out of those bass…they get so protective that theyd probably hit a stick if it was swimming across its nest…right before rain is amazing for practically any fish and that mini-king spinnerbait has caught me this nice perch with that lure on a cloudy day but slightly hotter water temp

I would fish the section where the creek is feeding into the lake massive fish lay and wait in those areas for creek chubs, minnows, small sunnies, small bass, and whatever small fish are native to that lake. I wouldn’t be hesitant to fish the shallows since the bass have no cover they have to rely on that creek fed for an easy and efficient food source without wasting energy.

freshwater striped bass and hybrid fishing?
a few days ago i cought my first hybrid 19 inch 4 pounds (im 13 and love fishing for about a year and a half now) and was just wondering what soft plastics / lures work well for striped bass/hybrid fishing (btw i live in oklahoma) P.S any good answer get highest rating an stuff
admin answers:
They can be caught on many different things. I’ve had my best success on Kastmaster spoons and 1/2-3/4 oz bucktail jigs. I’ve also used just a 3/4 oz jighead with a 4″ curlytail grub in white.
If you can find the fish, you’ll catch them with any of those combinations!

I am going to be fishing in a big bass fishing tournamnet in Ohio in September as a co-angler.?
Thi si my first one so I have some questions. Serious answer are helpful. It is on Lake Erie
How many rods should I bring? Spinning and casting
I am not sure what I will be throwing but I have an idea. I am doing reasearch on that as I speak. As far as rods go here is what I have:
2 Cabelas Prodigy MH Fast 7ft Casting
-one has a Quntam energy pt 6.3.1 and the other a Daiwa Exceler 7.1
1 Cabelas Prodigy 6ft 6in MH Casting
-has the Prodigy reel 6:3.1 ratio
2 Bass Pro Crankin sticks 7′ M action
-same as cabelas MH for the reels
1 Bass Pro Crankin sticks 7′ MH action
-Daiwa Exceler 6.3.1
1 6’10” MH Custom made by a rod builder I know very good rod (use for spinnerbaits alot)
-Pro Qualifier reel 6.3.1 ration (great reel)
1 7′ H Custom made by a rod builder I know very good rod
-Daiwa Exceler 7.1
2 Cabelas Prodigy 7′ M action spinning/ 1-6’6″ M Cabelas spinning
-abu cardnial reel for all three.
I dont have the money to buy the best but my stuff is ok. I fish about 200 days a year and I take very good care of everything and it is all in great working order. I have a few good rods and reals but for the most part it is the mid grade stuff. So this has to work for me in some way. I can by a couple more outfits if needed. If you have any lure and presentaion tips those are helpful too. But I have that part down. My mind is to this level but my equipment is still behind. So, please help thank you all and tight lines and good fishing.
It is not until the end of september so I have some time
And any info on tackle storage tips too, I am going to be a co angler
admin answers:
I fish as a co angler in the walmart BFLs and I wondered the same thing when I first started.What I do is ask the boater what style of fishing he will be doing and what type of water we will be fishing.So far every boater I,ve been paired with has been happy to share the information with me and thats how you narrow down what tackle you need to bring.I try to limit my selections to 6 rods,usually encorporating 4 baitcasters and 2 spinning outfits.Some co anglers bring as many as 10 but I would suggest no more than 8.Since you are new to this format I would like to introduce you to an unwritten rule that will help you.Give your boater some gas money.He has allready spent countless dollars on fuel prefishing and is sharing his spot with you.At least $20 is the accepted norm.I usually give $30 if we are making a long run sometimes more.Alot of the time they will go out of their way to help you get your limit(sharing lures,not front ending you etc) if you are thoughtfull this way.They are not competing against you anyway but the outher boaters.The equipment you have is fine so long as the line is fresh.Alot of boaters don,t have stuff that good.I can,t help you with Lake Erie so far as a good bait or presentation as I am in the South but it sounds like you have a handle on that anyway.I will be fishing at Ross Barnett Reservour in Mississippi in September trying to stay in the top 40 to make it to the regionals at Barkley Lake in Kentucky.Good luck I hope you win
Mandy asks…
I’m going bass fishing this weekend and i need to know what lure to use.?
I’m going bass fishing at a local lake in northern california it’s going to be october 27-28 and i was wondering what should i use. Spinnerbait, crankbait, plastic worms, top water or live bait. I’m not sure how deep it is. Oh, and unfortunatley i don’t have a boat so i’m going to be fishing off the bank.. the water there is not to clear but its not so muddy you cant see your hand right in front of your face. lets see the water temp is around 60-70 degrees theres large mouth and small mouth there. So anyone have any suggestions? And i’m going next weekend to so you can still answer after the 27th Thanks!
OOPS!!!! I just look at the lakes home page and the lake temp is acually 45-60 degrees Sorry
admin answers:
Since your fishing off the bank you want to use a top water bait. I have a lot of luck with little floating repelas. Cast and reel. You cant go wrong with a worm. Put a worm on a hook with a bobber and throw it out as far as you can, loosen your drag and just leave it. Meanwhile you can keep casting your repela.
