Bass hit my full speed topwater flukes with such precision, and speed, it always amazes me. Thus my wondering on their speed.

According to one post on a search, you'd be hard pressed to reel TOO FAST!

"LMB can swim about 12 mph with burst speed to 20 mph.
Bass rely on quick turns, not sustained ...

Looks like a Nile Tilapia. I think foulhook is correct. I have them in one of my greenhouses and they have a lot of variation but some very much look like that fish.


I said the same thing but said blue tilapia so did one of my buddies that studies fish, caught it at lake Jennings and don’t feel ...

For LMB fishing, I'm using straight braid a lot more and can't see my line choice evolution turning back.

For the concerns about riping hooks/ baits away from fish, which combo, spinning or baitcasting would be considered to compensate more for this worry?

I am more accurate with a bait caster ...

Right before they closed Lake Miramar to all watercraft months ago, I had some really fun fishing trips.
Bass were on the chew on the handful of trips I made and only wished I fished earlier up there before they closed in September. In fact I had my most productive bass fishing day this year ...

Left handers for the win

When you learn to fish with both, you get even more screaming deals that open up to you

During this special time of year(cannot talk about the religious aspects as you know), there is lots of giving to show our love or
appreciation to our loved ones in our family and friends. There are gifts of all shapes and sizes and values given to others, but what
is most important as they say ...

Twas the day after Christmas and I headed out, with my trusty old float tube in search of a trout. Mist hung o're the lake in the crisp morning air, I pulled on my fins and kicked out with a flair.

Armed with my new bait finesse reel and rod, forty pounds of trout lures (some that looked rather odd ...

Anyway, this is a critical time that instead of just laying back, we all need ...

I fished every day last week. On Friday I was dealing with some nagging hand pain that I assumed was arthritis. By mid-day on Saturday it had become pretty acute. So much so that it kept me awake that night. I was having trouble even making a fist. I wasn't sure if it was muscular, tendonitis ...

Yes sir

Every few years we get a few new fishermen on here that could use this knowledge.

Half of the patterns we use to catch Bass involve the bait getting swallowed. A hook is caught in the gut of the bass, making it hard to remove. If you just pull it straight out you’re killing the fish. There’s a ...

Lake Poway is an awesome place that can be like the claw toy machines at the arcade. You'll spend hours or days trying for that one toy with little to no success. That being said it was an amazing place to catch DD bass back in the day. My first 8 and 10 pound fish were caught there in one day with ...
