Large Mouth Bass

[Guest]

Hey guys, I was hoping for some help finding fish in the Fargo area. If anyone knows of a good place for walleyes, bass, or northerns or good spots for cats on the red or elsewhere, within a couple hours drive of Fargo it'd be of great help. I don't own a boat so if anyone knows of good river fishing that'd be ideal or if there is a good place to fish from shore in the area, please let me know

thanks

COLORS-COLORS-COLORS! OK what color of soft plastics do you all recommend for a clear to ultra clear environment. Im fishing a lake Ive never fished before and all I know about it is that it is very clear- secchi disc reading around 20ft. Im used to fishing all the dark,green-brown water around here,going for both smallies and largemouth on this one. Thanks guys

Basser, we fish clear lakes with pumpkin colors. Try a pumpkin color Hula grub/spider grub with black or green flake.

Thanks JoJo,I guess pumpkin works in clear as good as stained.How about more of a baitfish look? Shiner colored for instance? Too much flash for clear water?

Blue fleck or purple with a hint of red

Is this topic worthy of it's own forum.

Let's hear from you largemouth bass anglers.

I think there is probably a large enough contingency of bassers' to justify that.

Why not just start with a Bass forum? If there's enough interest you could split it into largemouth and smallmouth forums. A lot of the techniques and equipment apply to both, so I don't see why one forum wouldn't be good enough. Just my 2 cents.

Hey Basser, I have fished the crystal clear waters of Table Rock Lake(sometimes 20 feet) in Mo.Here are the main colors of Zoom products that work for everyone: Watermelon with red flakes.Greenpumpkin.Watermelon with black flakes, also *Watermelon Candy.Also secondary colors would be Mossy pumpkin, pumpkin,and Cotton Candy. You can always add some spike it Chart. to the tails of all these colors if the water is stained. Good luck and slow retrieves.

Thanks Basscaster, do you use the greens and browns all year? I dont seem to have much luck on watermelon ever ,but pumpkinseed works very well in the summer. I always seem to migrate back to red shad,my go to color.Although I seem to have every color made in my box!
