What Are You Looking Forward To? 2025
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
March is here and so are the spring temperatures in North Carolina. Getting into the 60s and 70s. I am looking forward to trying out my completed bass boat project this Saturday. As the warmer weather approaches what are you all looking forward to with fishing? Trying out a new rod/reel? Family outing on the water?
loodkop reply :
Down here in the southern hemisphere we are just entering autumn. I'm looking forward to cooler temps and a big frogging frenzy on my favorite waters.
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
Loodkop where do you live? Do you mean top water frogs? If so, that's awesome in the colder weather!!! I wish I could catch one on a frog popper here in NC in the winter. :-)

Throw it and see what happens. You may be surprised.
They have to eat all year. Only in cold water they don't want to move far to expend the energy to grab a snack.
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
Sam I second the "very little wind". I don't like that stuff. Lol
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
That's true. My friend and I always wanted to try it. What's to lose? Nothing. Gain experience with the presentation. And maybe a top water explosion. (Chills) ;-)
GoneFishi'n reply :
Ready for 60+ air temperature for the next 5 to6 days.
5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
Sounds like here in NC!
GoneFishi'n reply :
I also think there might be a top water bite. The drastic temperature change from 44 to 66 might make my top water dreams come true haha.On 3/7/2013 at 1:15 AM, jnatale3 said:Sounds like here in NC!

Felix77 reply :

5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :

PABASS reply :
Wading in the river and catching some river smallies..

Sucks, Im mourning the soon coming end of the fishing season here. Come May it'll be too hot to fish anything but the wee early morning.
roadwarrior reply :
BassResource.com RoadTrip!
Come join us in May at Pickwick. The lake is on fire and the fishing should get MUCH better in a few weeks!
Last Saturday the winning bag was 35 lbs, 29 lbs for second. Two weeks ago, 11.8 lbs in tournament:

There is a kids fishing derby in June I'm hoping to get Noah in.

Teal reply :
Flip flops and shorts. Thinsulate bibs and Under Armor underwear is getting old.
Im also ready to put the jerkbait rod down and pick up the flipping stick.
Silas reply :
Front after front, water flooding and falling quickly, dirty, and constant winds......all this needs to STOP!!
I live a few YARDS from a small "river" Can't even get the boat out now, water in boat slip Sooooooo low!

5 Dollar Fishing Game reply :
I am also ready to have to start putting on sun block and bug spray. Good indication it is warm enough for active bass. Also, love getting out at sunrise for some hungry bass searching for breakfast. I have actually said "good morning!" before I released them. :-)
Ratherbfishing reply :
At this rate I could go for a day warm enough to practice cast in my back yard.
plumworm reply :
Well, it was early Oct., the last time I was on the water and I have 3 feet of snow in my front yard and 24" of ice on the lakes, I'm looking forward to a 2 week tip to Ky. lake in mid April. I'm tired of tackle tinkering, reel cleaning, talking about it, dreaming about it, and fighting the bait monkey. I just want to go fishing. And by the way, when I get back from the 2 weeks in KY. the pre spawn bite on the Mississippi (pools 9-10) will just be heating up. My wife is going to be sorry she keeps telling me to get out of the house. Color me GONE for the summer.

Gatorbassman reply :
I can't wait till the Bass Resource Roadtrip. I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. I just want to hook into one of the big Smallmouth that they have there and see old friends and meet new ones. I can't wait.

^^^^^^^^THISSSS!!^^^^^^^^
We just got slammed with 10 inches of snow yesterday. BE GONE TERRIBLE SNOW!!
Also looking forward to upgrading to an 1198 and 360 imaging!
THE ROADTRIP!
The Rooster reply :
Got two new rods. Looking forward to hooking some nice bass on them. Plus I want another crack at that big one that got away last fall on m last fishing trip of the year.
tugsandpulls reply :
ice out open water
Fishing Rhino reply :
I'm looking forward to getting back to fishing around here in general. But the thing I'm really looking forward to is the Road Trip. I don't even mind the 800 bucks (guesstimate) it will cost to tow the boat round trip. Based on the last trip to Pickwick, and the current reports, it's a bargain.
Brian6428 reply :
I am looking to no more snow shoveling and more fishing! Also to try out a new baitcaster combo i got for christmas!
iabass8 reply :
Open water and 40 degree water temps. Still frozen here with 32 degree water temps directly below the locks. 
Hopefully no more than 2 weeks away until I can fish.
BassmanDan reply :
Partying with the big girls...they know how to throw down. Opening weekend on my home lake is in two weeks...it has been closed since October. That means mag lizards, stumps the size of your easy chair, and 10 hour fishing days. Can't wait!!!
flippin and pitchin reply :
Having a day off over 50 degrees so I can just get the heck out.
iceman11 reply :
I just want to get out!! I have been so stressed out and just need sometime out on the lake!
Josh Sifuentes reply :
I share your heartache. It seems every day off I have falls on a freezing day. I'm constantly checking the 10-day which is a joke and winter seems like it will never leave. At least there is a 60 degree day this weekend, although I will be at work...
BrettD reply :
Im looking forward to all the northerners going home and the lake being less crowded as it gets hotter.
loodkop reply :
Sorry for not replying sooner. I'm in South Africa and it seems as if there is a 2/3 week period in early autumn when my local lakes have a real frog frenzy. Of course you can catch them on other stuff at the same time but why? As to frog in winter I always have one tied on and if I feel the fish may have moved into the weeds I will work it very slowly. It gave me big bass honors in a club tournament in July last year which is our coldest month.On 3/7/2013 at 1:07 AM, jnatale3 said:Loodkop where do you live? Do you mean top water frogs?

Hyrule Bass reply :
my first trip of the year to Smith Mountain Lake. setting up on the dock in the evening, tying up my live bait rigs on some rods and a couple lures on other rods. ill crack open that first ice cold budweiser of the night, get the radio tuned in on the classic rock station and just take in the sites around me. eventually ill start with casting around the artificials for awhile. usually ill have a shallow diving crank or top water tied on one rod, and some sort of soft plastic like a super fluke or kinami flash or one of the various rage tails. after awhile ill set them down, and put some bait(nightcrawlers, minnows, chicken livers, shrimp or cutbait) on some of my other rods and get 2 or 3 casted out to start with. its just so relaxing sitting back waiting for a bite, taking in the atmosphere and pounding some budweisers. at this point i dont have a care in the world other than what im doing at the moment. not worried about work or home or anything else. its so refreshing. sometimes i will even fall asleep out there in my chair and wake up to a rod or two bouncing with hooked fish or with slack line that has a fish on the other end lol...
Trackick9707 reply :
I'm excited for the weather to get nice. There is currently 2 feet of ice on my favorite lake and we just got 8 inches of fresh snow this past Tuesday It's supposed to rain this weekend and hit 40 for the first time this year so it won't be too much longer (hopefully). Other than that i'm looking forward to using my new flipin n pitchin setup, experimenting with zoom z hogs in heavy milfoil, and helping my 4 year old catch her first fish.
NWI-Bassin' reply :
Ice out D': It's not supposed to warm up for another week or two here in north west Indiana.
SudburyBasser reply :
Since November I've laid in a huge stock of new tackle, three reels and two rods. We still have snow out the yazoo up here in northern Canada and bass doesn't open until June. The end of June.
By the time bass opens I'll be like a recently released convict with his first woman.
So I'm just looking forward to it being close to bass season.
