Is ANYBODY catching any bass?

Post by BigOrangeOne »

The last three times I have been out I have caught ONE bass total. I talked to a guy at a lake boat ramp yesterday and he had been fishing from 6:30 AM until 2:30 PM and he hadn't caught a one and he wasn't a flunky. He had ALL the gear and knowledge of a better bass fisherman... and had been fishing that lake for 30 years since he was a kid.
I even talked to 8 crappie fishermen there and they had a total of ONE crappie amongst them.
What's going on ????????????

well I caught 5 bass out of my pond the other day on just a blue and white rooster tail by blue fox, and went to a different pond right after that with my girlfriend and my dad and I couldnt catch anything on that same rooster tail. So I put on earthworms to catch some blue gill and I caught one and put it on a hook to catch a bass with it. Then I went to the part of the pond where I knew there would be one that would bite on it and I casted it in, and with in seconds of hitting the water I had a 2 pounder on the hook... I know that wouldnt be much of a bass to many people or to me at any other time but after not catching anthing over 8 ounces this year so far I was glad with what I caught :-D So I ended up with 5 blue gill, my gf had 5 blue gill and my dad was shut out with out anything haha :lol: :lol: :lol:

Did you have the large mouth, two legged variety, with you?


No, Since he threw dynomite in the water and scared me half to death, we dont let him fish. :122246 :122246 He could have at least warned me. :mad: :mad:
He said he learned to fish that way when he was running with you.

Hold on, where did you stand at? up on the hill? man, that water still has to be mighty high and muddy. I'd LOVE to see us have one good April again. I don't think we'll ever seen another one!

the concrete slab was under water, but we were able to walk down the rocks and cast out. the water was extremely ruff and we didnt stay long. it was pretty much just an excuse to fish for a while. i am wondering if the water is down yet, havent been out there to check it out. i plan on going back monday
