Small Mouth Bass

I'm pretty proud of my recent catch - I know it's not a whale or anything but it is the biggest small mouth bass I've ever caught.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND. Went to Knolls Lake. Caught 0 fish. Fish report said it was good fishing there. But----big flat nothing. Everybody I talked to at lake also caught nothing. Lots of dissapointed people. Only one couple did that I know of. They were floating worms. I tried it---but it did not work.

Anybody else try fishing that lake over the weekend? Hope your luck was better.

I returned from an awsome trip to the Philippines in July. I hiked the Sagada area in the Mountain… Continue

Baitcasting vs. Fly Fishing

I recently had an opportunity to spend a wekend bass fishing with a good friend who also happens to be a staunch fly-fisherman. I was interested in comparing the two techniques and their effectiveness on bass.

We were fishing out of a 16' side console fishing boat. My buddy "McFly" was on the trolling motor and I was in the back.

The first thing about bass fishing out of a boat with a fly-fisher is that they take up a lot of airspace with false casting. I found myself… Continue

What a catch!!!

Well what a great time fishing this past Wednsday. My wife and I took our kids to see an international fireworks competition. While we were waiting for the works to fire off, we decided to wet a line for about an hour. What an hour it was. My 4 year old son caught himself and fine looking 2lbs smallie. The squeel of excitement from my family blew my eardrums out. A few minutes later, I caught another smallmouth but a little smaller then my sons fish. All in all a good time was had by all.… Continue

8/2/08: Lake Chautauqua Recap

Glad to be back home from Lake Chautauqua. This was the third tournament of the season and I really don't have much to say about it except it was kind of bittersweet for me....not catching fish in practice and not having a starting point is the kind of "brain-weevil" that is detrimental to my fishing and it showed at Chautauqua....Read More

Which lures are worth buying and which are too much of a hassle?

Recently I have committed myself to learn the art of lure fishing. I became lazy with bait fishing due to the fact I was always fishing from land and it seemed to be such a hassle. I have watched bassmasters elite every saturday morning and have learned a lot. But, there is so many different circumstances involving location, weather, water clarity, type of fish, and so on. I bought all the right worm colors but don't really understand how to work them. My patience and inability to distinguish a… Continue
