I've been thinking about it, the man gets a 17' Lund, now he's bass fishing...whats next?  Is he going to start Catfishing now?   

[devil-man]

Is he going to start Catfishing now? 

You never know these days...

Nice going SB.  You're getting some use out of the new canoe I see.

I say fish for everything. All fish have their place. I prefer trout but when I can't go for them I'll fish for variety.  There's always something biting, fishing is fun, and you actually can learn a lot about your favorite fish by experimenting with other fish.

Some of my favorite trout lures are bass lures and it's great flyfishing for bass.   

I do prefer the eye as tablefare

Wow, Slipbob is BASS fishing!    Nice job man, must have been weird fishing an area like that after so long, eh?  It's just plain FUN and that's what's important!

I don't like to fish senkos the same way I would fish a sluggo.  I take it that you're fishing them like a jerkbait.  Try wacky rigging a senko.  Basically, if you don't know, you just stick your hook through the center of the senko...the action is AWESOME!

These are my personal favorite hooks when wacky rigging:


Gamakatsu Finesse Wide Gap (Red)....go with a 2/0 

You fish them by casting out and just letting it fall to the bottom.  Watch your line!  A lot of the time the senko will hit the water and sink for a couple seconds and will all of a sudden just straighten out...fish on!  I'll bet that 90% of the fish I catch on Senkos are hit on the initial drop.  The these fish may have never seen a senko either... so you should have some FUN!    Hey, if you ever want to get out and do some bass fishing with a real bass fanatic, let me know.  I'd like to be one of the few to say I've bass fished with Slipbob!

Zach's back!!  Where you been hiding...probably being Zach-a-mo!!    

[ChenBassHead]

LOL Well, I've been working 40-50 hours a week and haven't had a ton of time to post.  Also, my digital camera broke  so I haven't been able to post any pics of the fish I've been catching.  I'm actually getting sick of catching bass...I'm dying to get some walleyes or something I've never caught before, like catfish.

Holy Crapolicious! Slipbob bass fishing???!!!  Is this the beginning of Armageddon?

Nice fish, gotta love the fatties.

[Bartman44]

Nice one's SB. I (try) to wait as sec before I set as I used to set too quickly and loose a bunch. Sometimes you just can't help it.

Party for me today but should be on the water with the boys tomorrow and Tuesday.

 

[wny angler]

Some nice bass there, keep the pictures comming

[xrhino]

Awesome pics, Slipbob. 

You could steal a trick from those tweedy, pipe-smoking, British fly fisherman.  They say "God Save the Queen," between the strike and the hookset.

I'm more the dirty t-shirt and Skoal type of fly fisherman, but it does help to talk to myself before I set the hook when fishing on top..  I've changed it to "Get me a beer."  It's a forced pause that really works.
I'm not kidding.  Try it and you'll see.
