Whats Wrong?
hey guys i have not been keeping up too much on this site. but now im back and ready to talk some fishing!
but anyways, i have gone fishing about 3 times and caught about 8-12 bass. but the problem is the bass are anywhere from 11-15 inches. i am mostly using a t-rig and some times a spinner. is it just the lake u think? or what? |

Re: Whats Wrong?
Are you fishing from a boat or from the shore?
I'm guessing the shore...........so here goes. This time of year (when it gets HOT!) the water temps up shallow can get uncomfortable for the bigger bass and I tend to fish farther away from shore in deeper water to catch the nicer bass. If I beat the banks to closely I seem to catch about 95% small fish, but if I back off and fish deeper my keeper ratio tends to go up to around 20 to 25 %. I CAN find a lot more keeper fish up shallow in the mornings and evenings though, just not in the heat of the day. Hope this helps as I am just guessing you are shore fishing shallower waters. Good Luck! |

Re: Whats Wrong?
Sounds to me like a pretty good "problem" to have!
A lot of times during the summer, the bigger largemouth will eat up food during dark weather, low light, or rain. Because of this, the smaller fish come out to eat during other times when more food is available. |

Re: Whats Wrong?
Here is my suggestion get out there early and throw a super spook or a smamy 115 or 128 later in teh day try C-rigs off poits w/ 10" worms you will still catch the little ones but have a better chance at a bigger one.

Re: Whats Wrong?
I would try C rigging a Black 10" worm or Black and Red brush hog bigger baits can cause a good commotion in dirty water. I would go 1oz w/ brass and glass aswell for added attraction.
