I love to go out bass fishing. If you ever want someone to go out with hit me up. Im always will to go fishing rain or shine.

Cool . Almost all the piers on all lakes are pulled now so i'm patiently waiting for spring .

After i bought my mustang in early october i kinda slowed down my fishing this season , but it was a good year even though the low water levels killed alot of my shallow spots to fish .

I like fishing, haven't gone on a serious fishing trip in a long time though.

We have a teeny fishing boat in the north woods that's about it.

Sometimes a smaller boat is better , depending on what lakes you fish . You can get back further and in tighter areas and push less water . A good electric trolling motor helps too .

I have a 14ft Lund with a 9.9 Johnson and 36lb trolling motor. I have taken that thing into some sketchy canoe launches so i could fish a good bass pond. The motor has a short shaft so i can go into 1ft of water safetly i love having a tiny boat to fish with. I use Diawa D shock rods and Browning reels

I think i can troll in about 14-16" of water . When the mini skeg on the troll hits bottom it's time to reverse , and keep the orr handy !

I have secret spots that in about an hour I've been known to pull in about 50 bass and couple dog fish. Maybe pike as well. I used to go under lemont bridge under 355 and catch northern. Still in season so is ice fishing.

I also use the same style rig every time. Sometimes the banjo. Once pulled in bunch of crappie in the Archer ave woods lake right out of the parking lot. I don't have many rods always breaking them. I got a cool pistol grip one tho.

Very true, plus the lake we live on is not very big at all. It's hardly a speck on the Wisconsin map.

We dont have a hitch to truck along with the boat since it gets very mild use up there, but we used to rent a boat on Little St. Germain and go fishing there all the time. Caught a couple Northern on No Fish Bay (ironically) and tooooons of good sized perch.

This technique usually works for me.

I moved down here where the fish are so plentiful they jump out of the water a couple every minute and I haven't put a line in the water yet.
