my son and i fished last night from 7:30-11. caught 10...largest 16"..rest were smaller to smallest. caught them in 12-15 ft. using jigs. long night for size of fish we caught. was nice to get a few hits though!
night fishing is my cup of tea but the cold has me biting my lip...have not been out yet this year. did you catch your fish main lake or backwater? did you try plastics? did you try deeper cranks before dark? lived in cassville for 7 years loved the big m area. just asking thanks for the report...am feeling i need to get out and give it a try! like day fishing but there is just something special about night fishing.
we go in the mouth and insert the needle just above the bottom crusher into the stomach...let a few bubbles of air escape(hold the bass under water) thats all there is to it! much easier than going in the side of the fish!!!
my son and i fish night tournaments and fizz fish often...especially during the hot months( july& august). the fish are calmer in the live well and do not turn up sideways. it is easy to do. just make sure the needle is in the right place. see the video. we do not have fish die on us now like we did before using the fizz process. very important!
i always add ethanol treatment to any gas i put in my boats tank. i was also told to not use any octane above 87 when i bought my boat with a 150 merc...i have not violated that instruction. my motor is now nine years old and runs great. do these precautions make a diff. dont know? but will not change what works.....unless i hear reliable info diff..
my son and i fished out of cedar creek yesterday. fished 4 hours..caught 6... largest 3-7. crank baits. i cannot figure where all you guys are finding 50 degree water? water was 46-47 where we fished. i cannot imagine water warmer anywhere? i have seen posts on here of 50-55 for a couple of weeks now. i believe you guys need to check your gauges. i know for a fact the creeks are running 45...how can the main lake be warmer?
i love to catch white bass but return all to the water. in my opinion(not trying to be a troublemaker) they are terrible eating. why not return them to the water and let them spawn? think how many there would be to catch in a couple of years. crappie and walleye are excellent eating and they reproduce in large numbers. i realize the life of a white bass is short(5 years or less) but i still think they taste terrible. just sayin! hope all of you catch a bunch.
it is amazing to me how they do it. i am not good enough to fish with those people but still consider myself above average. no way could i catch 28lbs under any condition...except maybe dynamite! i have and always will refuse to fish an a-rig. i consider it a way to cheat. please i dont want to argue with anyone just my belief. even if i used one of those darn things i couldnt catch 28lbs! my son and i went fishing today. on the third cast i made caught a 4-14. that was it for me for the day. my son caught a small fish and that was it for him. we fished 4 hours. we caught both fish on jerkbaits. fished the baxter area. good luck to all
josh (no disrespect intended) i wish i were as good a fisherman as you are. hell i could use well rope and catch 'um. if i could catch as many fish as the pros i sure would not be fishing here. bottom line....FLOURO DOES MAKE A DIFF, WITHOUT QUESTION IN CLEAR WATER.
