If your looking to go on a trip, you have many options available. There are good spots everywhere in the country, but mostly the southern states(i.e. Florida, Texas, California). Mostly it depends on where you live and I am sure you can find a lake around where you live. If you want to go to California, then I recommend one of five lakes. Castaic, Casitas, Cachuma, Perris, or Diamond Valley. I have been to all of these lakes and rental boats are available at every one (except I don’t know about Perris). But, if visiting one of these lakes then you should definitely go in mid to late spring,as you will get the best bites. Here, also you can check out some of these sites.http://www.dvlake.com/http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=651http://www.castaiclake.com/http://www.sbparks.org/DOCS/Cachuma.htmlhttp://www.lakecasitas.info/index.htmlAlso, many of these area offer other activities!But if you want to go somewhere for the views and want to enjoy nature a little more, I recommend either Cachuma or Casitas. Enjoy. Trust me pick a good spot and you’re garaunteed to catch a fish

Since Extreme reels are pushed by 12-Time Bassmaster Classic Qualifier, Stacey King, they’re made for bass fishing. Yes, it’ll work very well in saltwater as long as you give it a good rinse with freshwater when you’re done. Nothing hurts a helpless little bass reel more than mean ol’ saltwater…For redfish and spotted weakfish, I would go with the wider-spooled, 6.4:1 gear ratioed ETX20HC (high capacity) model.

Good: It is good way to get out of the house and drink beer.Bad: The fish may not be cooperating. Open another six pack!

Go shallow around matted grass, thick moss, lily pads, etc. and you’ll catch bass. Toss a plastic frog or mouse (make sure its weedless) on the thick, matted stuff, let it sit for a couple seconds then twitch it. When it’s sitting on top, let it sit then twitch it in. If/when it comes to open pockets, let it sit again for a couple seconds, then twitch it in. Bass will litterally blow up through the vegetation to get it.

You need to check out Lake Guntersville in Alabama. It’s got a lot of huge largemouth in it. Look at the weights from when the pros fished it. For more information you can call Waterfront bait and tackle at 1-256-582-6060. When I’ve been down there to fish tournaments they marked spots on my map and gave me tips on what the fish were hitting. It looks like a mini Bass Pro Shop in there. They also have a guide service and rent cabins. Cabins are also available at Guntersville state park. There are several boat ramps on the lake so usually no waiting to get in or out. The lake has lots of spotted bass too and giant crappie. I’m not sure about stripers but you can check the web for that. I’ve been there twice and it’s on my list of lakes to hit again.

Whether you’re fishing a plastic worm for bass or drifting a nymph for trout, you’re connected to an unseen lure by your fishing line. If the line is slightly taut and the moving lure hits a rock or a stump, you will feel a slight bump. That “feeling” is sensitivity, and it’s most dependent on at least slight line tension between you and your lure. If there’s a pile of slack line on the surface above your lure or bait, obviously you won’t feel a thing. In spite of claims made by most tackle companies, even the most expensive rods, reels, and lines are not inherently sensitive. You are. And all you basically have to do is concentrate as you fish, paying attention to those bumps and thumps that are transmitted to your fingers as you retrieve a lure or fly. Understanding the need for concentrating – that mental fingertip fishing – and actually doing so will immediately boost your catch. Beyond some basic understanding and attitude adjustment, there are also some tackle tricks you can use to enhance your sensitivity.THE RIGHT LINE: Some kinds of line transmit vibrations better than others. Common nylon monofilament is the worst because it’s stretchy, like a rubber band. That stretch dampens and diminishes the degree to which bumps, thumps, or subtle pulls at your lure are carried by the line to your fingers.THE RIGHT ROD: Other things being equal, a rod that’s light in weight will enhance your sensitivity better than a heavier rod. Keep in mind that this means overall rod weight, not light or heavy action. This is largely why some guys will pay $300 or more for the latest in high-tech graphite baitcasting rods, for example, even though a chain store brand $50 special will cast just as far. That high-tech design weighs less – even if only by an ounce or so – and the weight advantage gives you a definite edge in sensitivity. Remember that concentration in fishing is far more important that pricey tackle – and it’s free.THE RIGHT REEL: Reel makers in recent years have started what could be called the ball-bearing wars, and the inevitable surge in marketing hype has led to ever escalating prices. However, there is a valid reason to buying a premium baitcaster or spinning reel. Smoothness of reel operation enhances your sensitivity, and that usually means ball bearings to the max. A reel that clunks, grinds, hitches, or vibrates during a retrieve tends to mask and distorts those bumps and thumps you’re trying to feel as they come up the line. Buy the best reel you can afford. If possible, crank it before you buy it to make sure it’s as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Then when you’re fishing, you’ll know those bumps and thumps you’re feeling can be coming from nowhere else but you lure.THE FINAL TOUCH: Remember that underwater clacks and whacks at your lure are transmitted to your fingertips by the the line under tension. So all you really have to do with any tackle – regardless of the price – is to tune in. Concentrate and be aware of the little bumps and thumps at your fingertips as you retrieve and underwater lure. The battle for sensitivity in fishing is mostly mental, and it’s a battle you can win.Monofilament, made from nylon, is still the top choice for Yelas and every other pro on the Wal-Mart FLW Tour. It comes in a variety of strengths and can be used for such a wide variety of applications. Yelas uses Berkley Trilene XT for about 60 percent of all of his bass fishing and sticks with lines between 12- and 25-pound test.”I’d say the number one reason my partners lose so many fish is because they are using line that’s too light for the job. When I’m using 25-pound test, my partners are probably using 14, and they think they are using heavy line. I always tell people to err on the heavy side when they are fishing heavy cover, and that it’s probably better to err on the light side when they fish clear, open water,” he says. When he does fish heavy cover, Yelas typically uses line no thinner than 20-pound test, even when he’s pitching in clear water. For the heaviest wood cover, he bumps his line up to 25- pound test XT. Crankbaits work best on 12- or 14-pound test line. That thinner diameter helps the bait get down a little deeper.”I use mono for just about all my topwater fishing, all my spinner baits and for all shallow crankbait fishing. It’s perfect for any type of short-range fishing, except those rare exceptions when the cover is so thick I need to use FireLine,” he says. The other monofilament he uses is Berkley Sensation, which has somewhat less stretch and more sensitivity than standard mono. It accounts for about 15 percent of all his applications. Although the differences are subtle and most recreational anglers probably wouldn’t notice, Yelas says Sensation is ideal for crankbaiting in open water and casting Texas-rigged plastic worms.

hey man, if you have a boat, try lake marion in santee cooper sc. it isn’t very far past the ga state line. i know that there have been monstorous bass and catfish pulled out of that lake. there are different camps and campgrounds around the area. i have been to this lake a couple of time andhave great time every time. a buddy i work went there a couple of weeks ago and he said that him and his wife racked up. i am not far from there i am right out side of savannah ga and the trip is only 1.5 hrs from here. give or take a little. it is right up i-95 streight shot to the lake and then just follow the signs to the boat ramps and campgrounds. i highly suggest this lake unless you want to go to north ga to do fishing. you said that you didn’t want to drive too far so lake marion in santee cooper sc would be my best suggestion. i have seem pictures of bass the size of greman shepards and castfish the size of volvos pulled out of that lake. ok i was stretching the truth a little, but hell, it is fishing who doesn’t stretch the truth a little. being on a serios note, get on line and check out this lake. it is a great place to camp and fish and just get away from real life for a little while. hope this helps good luck and good fishin. oh yea, you said that you were from, fl. this july me and a couple friends are going to st johns river in astor fl. have you ever been there. how is the fishing and do you have any suggestions about the river. if so could you shoot me an email justintodd1979@yahoo.com. good luck

Are you fishing during the middle of the day? If so, yes, it can be very tough at times. Remember, Bass move to deeper water in hot weather. Your bait selections are actually pretty ideal for this time of year. How are you fishing the plastic worms? To be productive this time of year (during the day especially), they need to be Texas or Carolina Rigged. I’d suggest the Texas Rig, just because it is a very simple setup. A quick Google search will show you this simple setup. Cast them into cover, and fish them slow. I personally find cover, and cast in and around it thoroughly. Let the worm fall to the bottom, then raise your rod from a 9 o clock position to about an 11 o clock position, then reel up the slack and repeat. The Rattle Trap is another great choice, although during the day, you need to fish them fairly slow. Again, cast it out, and let it sink down towards the bottom. Use a slow to moderate retrieve so it stays fairly deep. I have even somewhat jigged Rattle Traps up and down off of the bottom. If you’re fishing during the heat of the day, this can be very productive.Another bait you should consider in warm weather would be a jig and craw combo. You fish them similar to how you would a Texas Rigged plastic worm. Rather than making one upward motion, like you would do with the Texas Rig, I like to twitch the rod while making that upward motion. A jig is made to imitate a Crawfish, so the twitching looks more natural than simply raising the rod up in one steady motion.Lastly, the top waters. Don’t fish these during the heat of the day, unless you see a lot of fish on the surface. The only time to consider that in my opinion is when you get an overcast or rainy day. Any other time, fish them early in the morning and in the evening hours. Bass do come up during these times to feed, so it’s a great choice in that situation.

The answer is when do you stop? I know it’s cold but even in the winter you can get those 3 days of sun with a high of 50-60 the last day of warm weather is good i find myself getting shallow bass that come up to warm on cover or structure( rocks, fallen trees, docks etc..) that holds heat. If it is cold then go deep, you may need a fish finder to find them. When they suspend in cold water you can use spoon, jigs, drop shot rig or jerk bait. Fish slower too If fishing n the cold is not for you then like most people wait till it warms. You can catch bass in the cold and if you can bear the elements quality fish can be caught too.

Places that I have enjoyed fishing are West Branch,Portage lakes,Lake Erie,Maumee river,Ohio Power,Ohio river,Sandusky river,Pymatuning,Salt fork and Mosquito resevoir.There are many more but these are a few places I have done well.

A couple of other posts have suggested a Pfleuger reel, and I agree 100%! The Pfleuger President is by far my best spinning reel, and you would not be disappointed with it.

Actually, Pro fishermen all carry spinning outfit’s in their boats. Most use them for lighter tackle situations. Once you master a baitcasting outfit it will offer you MUCH more control & accuracy in casting than a spinning outfit. However, it takes time to learn…….Baitcasting Pro’s and Cons?Pro’s- 1. NO LINE TWIST- Even the BEST spinning reel will twist your line causing snarls and loops. Because baitcaster’s are essentially just a “winch” they don’t create loops in your line. 2. Larger diameter line- You can use heavier lines easier with a baitcaster. Heavier Mono lines (with higher diameter) floats higher in the water column, (due to “drag”) than any other line. This can be esp good for a variety of Bass fishing techniques including Topwater fishing, larger Swimbait fishing, large Soft Plastic fishing, Spinnerbait’s, Etc. Because of this, being able to use (say) 14-17LB Mono line can completely change the “depth dynamic” of a larger lure over 3/8-3/4 OZ. If you tried spooling 14-17LB Mono reel on a small freshwater spinning outfit it would not work. 3. Heavier Action Rods- Baitcasting outfit’s can be VERY stout, (compared to spinning outfit’s). And there are tried & true Bass fishing techniques that require a heavier action rod, (such as “Flippin & Pitchin”). Trying to find a spinning rod with enough backbone to do certain Bass fishing techniques can be tough.4. Control and accuracy- Like I said above- Once you master a baitcaster you can cast VERY accurately to structure. Baitcasting Cons-1. Mastering Baitcasting- Learning how to successfully use a baitcaster is not a 1 day affair. You will have to practice and practice before you get even close to mastering…..Most people who start baitcasting tend to quit because they have no patience. If you make the effort and practice, you will slowly realize how important baitcasting is to Bass fishing…..2. Light lures and lines- Baitcaster’s are designed to cast lure weight’s from 1/4 OZ and UP. Anything under 1/4 OZ is best left for lighter line and a spinning outfit. Also, baitcaster’s tend to perform BEST when using line diameter’s from 10-17LB , (and UP). 3. The famous Birds Nest- Yes, you will experience one of these. And YES it stinks. But, as you improve your casting skill they happen less and less. And in my opinion, a Birds Nest is STILL not half as bad as a spinning reel snarl! (lol) Hope this helps? Good fishing.

Walleye always have been popular, but not across the continent. Anyone who has eaten one (or several) know the walleye is superior eating to most freshwater fish, but the problem lies in the fact that they are not abundant in all waters of the continent. For that reason, they are and will likely remain only extremely popular in the northern tier of states which they inhabit. In/Fisherman Television, Radio and magazine have been expounding on the virtues fo this fine fish for over a quarter of a century or more. Others are just now realizing what they have been missing out on. There is a viable market out there for walleye tackle and information. The print media and televised marketers are becoming more and more aware of that and expanding their coverage.
