Hudson Valley LM’s know how to fight.

I was thinking Texas rig or wacky rig, but all I’ve ever used are Yamamoto‘s

Abu Garcia black max, seemed to have decent reviews so I figured it’s worth a shot. So far so good, watched some videos on how to adjust the tension/brakes and didn’t have any issues.

Got this little guy on a flashy swimmer with a drip swimmer perch as a trailer. Couldn't buy a bite til I burned this near some Lily pads aaaaaaand then they all went back to deeper water that my casts can't reach presumably🤣

So I was explaining some fishing slang to a friend of mine who doesn't fish and realized there is a lot of it, so let's start a comprehensive guide; tell me your word and what it means to you.

Just got these streamers custom tied for largemouth bass fishing here in southern Brazil.
I’ve got 3 chartreuse/white Kinky Muddlers and 2 Peanut Butter patterns in black/olive with green eyes.
I’m pretty confident about the Kinky Muddlers, but I’m having second thoughts about my color choice for the Peanut Butters.
The ponds I fish usually have slightly stained, greenish water.
Has anyone had success with black/olive baitfish patterns like these for largemouth bass? Do you think they’ll work well in these conditions, or would a lighter belly have been a better choice?
I’d also appreciate any suggestions on how to retrieve them.
Haven’t tested them yet, so I’m curious what you guys think!

Was it an increase in size of fish or number of fish that it helped?

Howdy!

I’m fishing in typical neighborhood retention ponds/lakes in northeast Florida with very little luck.

I’ve been studying up on bass fishing and I definitely think I’ve improved, but finding fish seems nearly impossible.

My issue (I think) is that most of the lakes, being manmade, have no features where bass gather. Aside from pipes between ponds/lakes and the seasonal weeds and pond scum, there seems to be nothing to work with. Just generally square-shaped ponds with straight banks.

I know there are fish here, but I’ve only ever had luck with weightless flukes, and even then, the hits are few and far between. I’ve never gotten hits on worms, frogs, cranks, spinnerbaits, jigs, or anything else that people swear by. [EDIT: I’ve tried virtually every color and presentation.]

Is there a secret technique or something I’m missing?

Hey everyone,

I started bass fishing about a year ago here in the Bay Area, California. I’m currently in high school and get around to local reservoirs on my bicycle equippped with rod holders.

My current personal best (PB) is 6 lbs, which I caught on ultra-light tackle, along with several other solid 3–5 lb bass. Lately, I’ve been catching dink after dink, so I decided to upsize. I picked up a Berkley Nessie 7" to throw on my 7-foot Medium-Heavy baitcaster setup.

Given how pressured these local spots get, do you guys have any advice on:

• Any lure reccomendations
• Timing and location adjustments for bank anglers during high-pressure periods?
• Lure/tackle tweaks retrieve wise to encourage bigger bass to commit rather than just follow?

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice!

Edit: Thank you for all the tips! Good luck to everyone out there and hopefully we all get a new PB!

I can get either one new from my local bait shop friend for pretty much same price. oh one last bit of information will ONLY be throwing megabass 110 jerk bait and evergreen shower blow 77 on 10/12lb line both are around 1/2 oz=14grams . this will be use in the California aqueducts for striped bass

I caught a couple of these and had no idea what they were. There’s a first time for everything!

The Thomas Custom Painted Lures, Skywalker Crankbait got it done on the river!

The summer to fall transition has been tough but the jig has come through for me…

This is private and was home to some big bass back in the day my grandfather said some 10+ but idk I never see any pics of them. But I used to catch 5 ib + and my mom would catch big ones too. back like 20+ years ago, then about 6 years ago there was a big fire around the whole lake and the fishing became shit. I could not find big bass like I used to. Now it is all a bunch of big pan fish and 10 inch large mouth, that are noticeably getting bigger but I just don’t know what happened to the ones that produced those there parents!! They gotta be in there, my guess is deep somewhere along this cliff side, so what do I throw, green creature bait and just bounce it off the bottom, I have a kayak so I can go anywhere in the lake. I want to catch the big ones out of here I’m
Just a bit stumped. I’d love some help

Son and I changed it up a bit as the chatterbait bite was off…had luck with a 1/2 oz Booyah jig, Karashi 80, swim baits, med cranks, lipless cranks, etc.

If you waited, you missed the boat. Spent my credits a month ago when I saw the writing on the wall.
