amazed

[Comit 2]

I am always amazed at what is poster on this forum under BASS. 95% of it is Boats, rods, reels, Out of state fishing and other stuff that should be under OPEN WATER.

A Bass is a fish. A boat is not a bass.

Let's talk Bass.

So what is the best boat?

[Craigums]

The Bass forum is more of an exclusive club than a place to talk about a fish. I believe we are currently taking applications if you'd like to join us.

[Basschaser]

I disagree. If I want advise about equipment, boats and other things I am posting it here in the bass section. If you post your questions under the open water forum your going to get answers from people that think dragging around a lindy rig and watching a bobber is fishing. No thank you for me.

[TruthWalleyes]

You forgot about the sunglasses.

[Pherris]

What is a "Bass" anyways?

So, do you think an 13' rod would make a good flipping rod Or do we have to use BASS rules?

No that is OK. I would just die if I showed up at a "Tonka" landing with the wrong shades on the bill of my hat.

Comit,

Are you a walleye guy trolling the bass forum?

The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is a freshwater gamefish in the sunfish family, a species of black bass native to North America.

I'm a fisherman. I like them all. If I had to pick the one I like the most in this state it would be a Bass. A White Bass.

Buck Perry was a Bass fisherman. In case you didn't know, He was a troller. Who is the #1 Bass fisherman? He would suggest you read spoonpluging by Buck Perry.

The old timers on this forum may remember me by the name Muddog. I do know Bass. You know "brain the size of a pea".

[thatoneguy]

The bass or Muddog?

Why did you change your name? It wasnt due to aimless complainig about trivial things was it.

[TruthWalleyes]

So polarized or not?

[Cecil]

There is a rough-fish section on here as well. Actually, there are two, one is called "Carp/Sturgeon/Real-Gamefish" and the other is oddly enough called "Walleye Fishing-Perch".

While we would love to have anyone stop by here, you better bring your A-Game, as we smell a fruad from a mile away, or 30 minutes in a walleye boat...

[Comit 2]

I just posted a tip of the week/first ice out.

I'm smelling it and I'm not buying it.

I think it was do to me calling out a Muskie org.

I was trying to learn about Muskie fishing and all I was getting was double talk and other members covering there 6's. It was the typical. We are so excited, Oh what a great meeting, Yes, what a great meeting I'm so excited for the next meeting, Can't wait, Yearly member ship is!!! We are having such a good time. Yearly member ship is!!! You didn't need to be a fisherman to smell that one out. I call it chumming!

[Hester]

I'm confused!

[BTL]

Looking down the first page in this forum, I only see threads about bass boats, bass lures, which rods to use for bass fishing, bass that people caught, and which lakes are good for bass. Color me confused also.

[Comit 2]

Are you saying if you put the word "bass" in the name it is on topic.

As for rods to use for "bass" fishing, I can't think of a rod that won't work. As long as the line, rod and reel are balanced, why wouldn't it work. If it casts and retreves it will work. If you want to use heavy lures use a heavier combo. Other then that, believe whatever the sellsmen want to tell you , it is up to you. A 13 foot cane poll works so well as a bass fishing rod it was band from "bass" fishing compititions. They don't allow trolling because everyone would be trolling. Yes your "bass" boat would look like a normal fishing boat. It may have a raised front deck for flipping but with a 13' rod I don't think that would be necessary.

A pair of polarized sunglasses and a wide brimed hat to keep the sun from hitting the back side of the lenses will work.

A professional fisherman is only trying to sell you something. Look at his shirt. Why would a professional fisherman give you a hot tip if there is no money in it for him. It is how he makes his living you know.

So I say, 95% products.

[BTL]

Don't talk about gear, tackle, or boats on a fishing forum. Got it. You should probably spread the word to all of the other species boards...since they're all talking about the same things.

[Comit 2]

Ok, let's see who gives good tips.

[Bass4life]

I dont know about the rest of you guys, but im not amazed at all.

[Pherris]

Ok, let's see who gives good tips.

Here are some good tips:

Look both ways before crossing the street

Don't take wooden nickels

Always make sure the stove is off before you leave the house

[gritsnham]

Not to keep this thread going but I cant help myself. This forum is awesome because you get advice from other bass fisherman and in general I think it all relates to the great sport of bass fishing that most people visiting this forum enjoy.

I posted about batterys recently...does that directly relate to bass or belong in this forum? Not really but I want advice from other fisherman that I know put a hurting on batterys over a season.

Respectfully if you dont like it then dont visit the bass forum...

[Fairchild_82]

Here's a good tip, DON'T PIS IN THE WIND.
