This has been hell week at work and I put in 47 hours of overtime some of that was from forced mandates that suck.
So I'm ready to get to the lake but they I find em not bite when it's 95+ out. Late evening and early mornings for bass but night time for catfish. They start biting at dusk. |
Dude I've been doing a lot of reading about fish supposedly not biting when its hot out... the conventional wisdom is all wrong, look it up.
The hotter it is, the higher a fish' metabolism runs, which mean... that's right, they're hungry... the only drawback is finding them.
If you're like me without a boat, it will NOT stop you from killer catches... mst guys with fancy boats wanna go off and explore little shelfs and pockets in a given lake and that's all fine.
But in sooo many lakes, ponds etc... shore cover in the form of riprap, moss, cattails, overhanging trees, docks, will yield MORE fish than the guys with their bs boats and sonar out there in the deep water.
Let them HAVE the deep water, because bass are a mostly shallow water speices... that's where they feed and if they can find a covered spot to chill out that's where many are. I've caught bass where people said I shouldn't be able to using the advice I just gave... a boat isn't able to fish these spots effectively.

What you get with regards to size and pedals will really depend on the type of waters you primarily fish.
Mine only weighs 50 pounds so I can carry it into any creek, pond, or difficult to access area and water hop with ease. The only thing I still need is a fish finder.
For anyone that wants one but doesn't have a roof rack, the inflatable system works well. It holds up to 180 pounds and will come in handy should I ever need to but another ladder or other long item.

My only problem with that outfit, or any big boat outfit?
I honestly don't want to be told "here they are"... damn man, that's some bullshit if you ask me, I don't want that cheat even when I get (and I will have a boat soon) a boat. A fish finder? whaaaaaa, isn't that part of the game?
I don't want some ****ing computer telling me where they all are, Sacc's outfit without the bs electronics.... that's more my style.
