Shallow creek bass fishing advice needed

Friday, September 17th, 2010
Shallow creek bass fishing advice needed. I found a great creek with lot’s of shade trees and unfortunately, a lot of bait-fish ie., minnows. Any suggestions or advice on alternative baits to catch these largemouth bass? The creek is clear and I have seen some 4lber bass in there so I’d like to know if there is an easier method because they are NOT biting live bait.

Pond full of largemouth bass

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Hey all looking to get some feedback from other bass anglers here. I been given access to a new pond and need a bit of advice because the pond/lake is 64 acres, 30ft deep, sandy and mud bottom with hydrilla. The Pond is full of largemouth bass  with zero structures on the pond or any stumps/rocks for the bass to hide. I’ve done pretty well with open water cranks and landed many 2lbers but with 30 ft depths I can’t find any large bass. This is a very healthy un-fished stocked pond.. any advice?

A good Minnow trap

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
minnow traps
Hello all! I thought I’d post a question regarding simple fishing gear. I am just your average fisherman and for bait, I use your run of the mill powerbaits, salmon eggs, and worms, you can buy at any local bait shop. I have been hooking up a lot of trout and largemouth bass with store bought minnows and now only want to use live bait when fishing. After searching the net I see many “minnow traps” that are just some sort of plastic bottle contraption. I posted the picture above and I was wondering if anyone here uses this trap or would suggest one or a direction to go?

I need Bass fishing advice

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
bass fishing
Any bass anglers care to share some fishing advice? I’ve noticed there is a lot of anglers here from the South around Missouri and Arkansas. I’ll be going down to the Elk River area to visit family and been bass fishing on lakes many times, but I’m going fishing on a small clear river that I have not fished before, its not a large river. I’ll be going after smallmouth bass mainly, but largemouth bass also. The water temperature will be 60-65 degrees and the air temperature will be in the high 90’s and as far as rain it has been raining all week and there is a slight chance it will rain this weekend so the water level will be up. I’ll be heading out to buy some bass lures tomorrow and could use so advice on what to get. I am looking for advice on lures you think  will work for me during this weekend.
Thanks, Brandon

Setting up a farm pond for bass?

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

bass pond

Evening all! I have a question for farm pond owners. I moved onto a farm that has a 8 acre pond that has a lot of various different fish, crappie, catfish, largemouth bass, ETC. So I thought I’d give it a go and caught a few crappies and two very small bass. So my question is what would be the better way to catch larger fish? Plus what type of farm pond management direction should I go? But first back to fishing for bass. Currently, I am using a 7″ black worm with no weight so any tips would sure help.

Float tube fishing rig

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
Float tube fishingHello, from Mississippi! My new favorite way to fish is wade fishing for Largemouth bass in small rivers. So my question is if  I were to use my new float tube, what would be the best way to weight it? My thoughts were to possibly place a splitshot on the inside of it? A splitshot on the main line? A regular texas rig? A texas rig with a pegged weight? Or a completely weightless set up?
Thanks all for your or any advice,

North Carolina river fishing?

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
North Carolina river fishing Hey members! I got a job transfer and in a month I’ll be living in North Carolina and I am a avid bass fishing woman. I am starting to do some research via the net for some good inland fishing lakes/rivers in North Carolina? Obviously, I am looking lakes/rivers that have good fish numbers and a variety of species that you are almost guaranteed to be able to catch multiple fish not just bass.

More info:

My favorite fish (in order):

1.) Largemouth bass Smallmouth Bass
2.) Musky/Pike
3.) Walleye
4.) Trout (brown, rainbow, or salmon)
5.) Panfish (Crappie, Sunfish, Perch)
6.) Catfish

I’d sure like to hear from other to hear from other experience anglers fishing North Carolinas lakes/rivers. From the mountains to the coastal plains.

Thank you.

Largemouth Bass fly fishing bait

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010
fly fishing large bassHey all, I have to work on the 4th but I have the rest of the week off and going camping and I am going to do some fly fish fishing and for (first time)  largemouth bass. What is the best bait/fly to catch them with? I don’t think it could be much harder then lets say then channel catfish? I haven’t fished for a couple of years, but the last time I did was in the fly fishing and I caught a nice trout. If I could handle that I am thinking why not go fly fishing for largmouth bass?
Thanks!

Considered Trophy largemouth bass

Trophy largemouth bass

What is considered a trophy largemouth bass? I’m new to bass fishing and went fishing two days ago and caught a very nice 5 .5 lb  (15 inches) largemouth bass. I released the bass and I didn’t know if i should be regretting something right now. So could someone here explain what is a trophy largemouth bass? Is there a guide that goes from State-State or bass species type?
