    I swear, if you aren't cooking a gourmet meal, your out catching fish or your buds are loading you up with the freshest seafood to be had anywhere.

    If that's not enough, you have sea,sand and warm weather while most of us have forgotten what the sun even looks like.[}:)]

    Man, that just ain't right.

    I know some folks who say you can't eat bass, that it's no good to eat.

    They're wrong. Not my favorite, but cooked up fresh it's fine eating. Little breading, pan fried with tater tots, some lettuce and tomato on the sandwich... that's good eating there.

    I don't think so. I see a fishing pole in the picture.

    Guvmintcheese has his fish trained to jump straight into the net. [;)][:D]

    Fresh caught bass is a fine eating fish, I like it better than the cat fish sold a Publix.
    I'm changing the line to ten pound test, today I lost a second good size fish on the 6 pound line [:(!]

    Had a spot like this gal, and I wished I had her pole. I would check out the reeds and see where bass were making their holes in the reeds. Drop down a worm on a hook, bust one pole when a bass hit it. This is the time of year to get them like that maybe a little later in the month of Feb down in southern Calif. The farther north you are the later in the year they are.

    Had me a real good spot at the Southern Edge of Oceanside in Calif.

    Striped bass are tasty, too. Caught this one (of many) last weekend.

    Here was our first day's catch (there's no limit on stripers or walleye at Lake Powell, Utah):

    And it was chilly but gorgeous:

    how did you have your drag set? if you lost a bass on 6lb test, the line was either dry rotted, or the drag was set on "full". Set the drag so they can run a little bit, that wears them out. It's like fishing for tuna,...only smaller.[:D]

    Larger fish some times rub the line in the drop off, some rocks down there the thinner line brakes.

    cut 10' off the line every few trips. That gets rid of any frayed or damaged line[;)]

    I usually cut 24" every couple fish, the rocks down there are very jagged of coral type, braided line is more resistant to abrasion but been more visible will get less strikes. thanks for the advice.

    Largemouth bass are good eating. Not as good as Walleye, but pretty good.
