CCB the day the 4.75lber was caught i only keep enough to eat. i actually released 2 18" and keep 2 14". i would practice live release during derbies, but my boat does not have a livewell onboard. i've tried making one out of a large cooler and pumps, but that didn't help much. if you or a...

I agree Markus, I don't find a difference in taste of fish by size. I do however find a taste difference in fish taken from different lakes I fish. I find that bass from a deeper lake is better then bass from a shallow warm lake. Wolfe, I don't have a livewell in my boat so thats why I keep my fish ...

I find that some place the fish no matter the size are strong.
These are the place I wouldn't even eat a small one, great fun fishing them but no good for the table.

Basically the only time I keep bigger bass is during derby's. The ones I usually eat (which is few) are 14 to 16 inch fish. I have caught two other 19's and another 21" the past 2 weeks, they were released. Basiclly the only fish I eat are perch, pickeral, salmon, catfish, and yes a few bass.

another from earlier this year.




This one was 3.4lbs. Gut was full of crayfish.
took 3 in a derby with this one.

A pic of a 4.75lb, 20.75" lm caught during a local derby.
Funny thing is it placed 6th, derby paid top 5.




This one ended up as supper, The spouse had Pickeral.

Talked to a couple other boats, they had the same luck today. Guess they just don't bite the days I go out. lol I'll keep trying until...

Thanks Andre I've been on the opposite side of big water. Trolling at 45 ft over 80 to 120 fow Don't know the actual speed, but have been told if I get the downrigger cable humming then i'm between 2 and 3 mph. going out at 2;30 today, I'll give it a go on that side of the lake. Let you know how I m...

Can anyone give me a few tips on lakers in charleston lake. I've tried this lake 3 times this year and nothing.Every time out i mark hundreds of fish but no takers, any suggestions on getting them to strike.

Thanks

I'm new to the board, It's nice to see a site with alot of nearby fisher persons. I've been on a couple other boards but never posted much, because of all the crap. When I found this one I was very happy to see no bickering. I have finally found a finshing board that actually disgusses fishing. Hope...
