Bass fishing

[Kentucky357]

I wanted to start a bass fishing thread. I know alittle about it so ask and if you have anything to share... By all means!!

[RamRod]

If it has scales it's bait!

LOL

[Ðe§perado™]

Not in Ohio you can't use them for bait. Also ramrod being a novice stick with cut bait. I do like bass fishing. I try to do it in the summer a bit. I cast around while I'm carp shooting. Get both in one trip....lol.

[Catbird]

Desperado, sorry but you are wrong. I contacted ODNR myself and bass can be used for bait as long an it is of legal size and caught with hook and line.

[hushpuppy]

If you want to catch bass the best all year all round bait is plastics in my opinion.

[hushpuppy]

I don't use much live bait. I like trickin' em into bitting. I use a 6 1/2" zoom in junebug or tequilla w/ green flk. When it starts to get cool I switch to a 4 1/2" same color and slow my retreave a little.

[big country]

hey kirk,the best colors i have found for most of the waters around here for bass are tequilla sunrise, motor oil and the go to color june bug if they are there that can't resist it they love these colors in a culprit. as far as top water you gotta try a 4" blue banga lure crank bait i've caught scores of bass off of them...good luck hope this info helps ya out...

[big country]

yeah i did!!!that boat raffle still sounds realllllll nice...lol....

[hushpuppy]

Topwater of choice for me is a buzz bait. White on a clear day and chartruese on a cloudy day. Second, dont forget that a spinnerbait in the cypress knees is something to behold.

[big country]

i never really had any luck on those buzz baits..but if they work for you thats great stick with what ya know and what ya have confidence in..believe it or not i caught my biggest basson a beatle spin fishing for bream on the hillsborough river...

[hushpuppy]

Big Country, have you ever been to the Tenaroc pits in Lakeland? Decent bass fishing there, if you can get in.

[big country]

i've fished it a couple of times on my way home from the gun range..i was fishing from shore i did alright nothing to brag about a couple bass on culprits and a few bream on beatle spin...i wonder how saddle creek is doing about right now.groveland should be doing alright also.....

[hushpuppy]

Never tried either spot. Would like to get to the Harris chain one day.

[big country]

yeah,i fished lake yale one weekend and i caught was a gator and a hangover...lol

Hey Kentucky357,

I've been Bass Fishing for years now, but I have to do it for the bank because I don't own a boat. But People always say that if I did, I would do even better that I'm doing now, because now I'm not having a problem finding the Bass at all.:D

[big country]

hell yeah, but we would have to get a permit fer this one right?
plus i think we could come up with another lake pretty easy for this one...
catch and release optional?
hey hushpuppy which lake would you prefer?
turkey creek
pasadena
groveland
saddle creek
teneroc
thonotosassa
manatee
tarpon springs
kissimme
toho
by pass canal(not a lot of fishing pressure)
the hillsbrough river
dead river( if you got a pond jumper )
alafai river
just to name a few??????

[big country]

hey bert sorry about the mix up...
there was someone from the *** that lives around you area and makes a trip down every now and then and i thought it was you...:p

[big country]

hey kirk,
i don't know i ain't fished that area to much so i can't say...sorry..;)

[hushpuppy]

You gotta be kiddin' me. Sign me up RIGHT NOW. tenaroc would be my first choice for a small gathering, All lakes included in that managment system are pretty good. Thonosasa would be my next. I would keep away from the chain lakes due to stress and pressure. But any lake is fine by me. Let me know when Ya'll want to do this.

Hey Kirk, we should make it an artificial tournament. A little more challenging. You can go ahead and sign my team up. Me + 1
Hey Big Country, looks like me and you might have crossed some path's goin' to some of those fishin' holes. You named some good ones.

[big country]

been fishing these here parts for a while now...lol...

[hushpuppy]

Got it Kirk. Sorry about the length of the reply.
Kirk, I talked to some friends of mine and they suggested lake Walk-in-the-water. Very nice lake. Monster bass.

[hushpuppy]

hey ya'll went to a local spot over the weekend and tore em' up. caught 8 bass (no size) on a 4" junebug w/ blue tail.

[hushpuppy]

Hey Kirk, it's just south of lake kissimmi on lake walk in the water road. It's a very good lake to fish and is big enough for several hundred boats. I think It's Osceola co.
