Bad to da Bass reply :
Ok I just got this idea a few minutes ago and I was wondering what your your favorite fishing situation would be? For me I would have to say fishing docks.
8-)
mtnbasser reply :
being in the right spot when a school of bass start busting shad on the surface.
ROCbass reply :
The first time I am able to go after ice out each spring
Md reply :
Pre-spawn smallies!
NitroMan reply :
Throwing a Rage Tail Frog or Shad across the matted grass. The blow ups are awesome!!!!
Danny1991 reply :
I really like fishing high/rising water! Getting up there shallow pitching/flippin in bushes and such! ;D Second favorite would be fishing docks (probably because they always seem to produce!) ;D
CJ reply :
I like it all but, LEDGES are my fav.
mattm reply :
Anytime of the year. 70-75 degrees wind 8-10 with a mist or drizzle and the fish in 15' or less. Don't know that I've ever not loaded the boat in these conditions.
eyedabassman reply :
Night time Bassin with no bugs that BITE ! :-?
swilly78 reply :
High Water, Early Evening, Light Rain, and Bitin' Bass!
Jimzee reply :
Less than 6 feet of slightly stained water, brush everywhere, and a jig on the end of my line.
Lobster Monster reply :
When you're in a wide canal and suddenly Bass just start demolishing shad all around you for hours. You see schools of baitfish everywhere, and the bass are hitting everywhere, and you just grab you're favorite color redye shad and start catching everything. Oh God.
fishizzle reply :
Its been so long I forgot
I love a good crankbait bite in 10' grass
Theres also 1 laid down tree in my Lake that I love to dissect for a few good bites
farmpond1 reply :
I've got so many I can't decide. Umm....let's see. Maybe casting buzzbaits on flats an hour before dark. Or twitching a superfluke or sluggo in and around lilly pads. Or working a rebel crawdad around blowdowns for smallmouth.
Catt reply :
Full moon night & deep water structure 
Bass Dude reply :
When they hit cast after cast!!! 
senile1 reply :
Any situation that includes seclusion, forested hills, active wildlife, and the catching of good numbers of fish with a few big ones thrown in for good measure.
deltabass1990 reply :
nothing beats throwing a Rat-L-Trap around sunken trees but I would have to say my favorite is throwing scum frogs over lilly pads and top floating moss.. its like watching a firecracker explode right by your bait. SO MUCH FUN!
Rich Tehan reply :
This is a tough decision..... idk, Flippin Grass Mats, or is it deep water smallies?
roadwarrior reply :
40-60,000 cfs running below Pickwick Dam; 50-55 degree water;
65-75 degree air temperature and no wind.
;D ;D ;D ;D
Big Tom reply :
QuoteLess than 6 feet of slightly stained water, brush everywhere, and a jig on the end of my line.
I would give anything to have this kind of water around me.
We have places where the brush is everywhere but its usually in 30-45 feet of water.
My favorite situation is the Top Water bite in the late spring.
Tuckman reply :
My fav has to be when it gets cloudy and spittin rain and the smallies up here in the finger lakes come out of hiding to eat jerks and cranks...I also like it after a hard rain muddies and raises the water and puts the green fish on wood tight to the bank though.
EastTexasBassin reply :
60-70 degrees, very cloudy with a slight wind from the west. morning after the new moon, buzzbaits over grass. Bass on every other cast.
zbass reply :
90+ deg air temp, 70-76 deg water, lily pads with milfiol mixed in and my flippin stick. Oh that was good for me, what about you?
KYntucky Warmouth reply :
My favorite situation is me being situated on the back of a boat, since I don't havemy own, and not on the bank
srv1990 reply :
Really, just any chance I get to fish, since I can't as much as I would like
tkite16 reply :
1)Late April at Lake of the Ozarks in the back of a cove pitchin to a dock that is full of brush with a gravel bank and a jewel jig .

Lobster Monster reply :
I live in Florida, thus I'm always going Largemouth fishing. However, my Mother's side of the family lives in North Missouri and I go there every spring and end up fishing a totally secluded, unfished river that my uncle has land on. Literally every spring I can throw small tubes across the river and catch 50 to 60 smallmouth a day ranging from 1lb to up to 8 lbs. I've had days where I've caught five 6lbers in a row in the exact same spot. There's sunken logs, dead trees, rocky riffles, deep dropoffs and holes, muddly hills, and grassy flats. I can be totally alone for hours fishing up and down this river, watching deer come down to drink, and eagles fly overhead. The other fun part is that I never know what's hitting my lure because I can catch Walleye, Crappie, Trout, Largemouth, Huge bluegill, and catfish. It's the most amazing fishing experience I've ever had in my life, even including the times I've caught double digit LMBs in Florida.

I read the pamphlet and it said it was like 9 lbs. That can't be right. I've weighed these fish.

Reelady reply :
My favorite fishing situation is when during a tournament, I am catching fish like crazy and everyone else isn't
lol... kidding... okay not really... but another one of my favorite situations is when there is an incredible topwater bite that just won't quit. That, to me, is by far the most exciting way to catch fish

central_fl_fishin reply :
May, in Florida, fishing the grass banks finesse style with ultra-light gear. Just when the sun goes down. BAM! fish on!
flipinstick88 reply :
Anytime the fish are shallow and will crush a topwater frog.
It doesn't get any better than that!
/walk walk walk KABOOM!!!! Then the screech of braid tearing through the rod guides!!

MichiganFisherman reply :
A warm summer night, full moon, private pond, glug glug glug SPLOOSH!... yeahhh. ;D
Sam reply :
1. Overcast skies with a slight breeze to put some disturbance on the water.
2. Bluebird skies putting the bass under docks and piers plus close to the structure.
3. A private pond with some beautiful cover and I am the only one who fishes it.
I love #3. It is where I go to try out new baits and techniques.
Last year I threw a drop shot and caught two six-pounders plus some nice two and three pound bass. I got embarrassed so I stopped throwing the drop shot as I learned within a half hour....it works great!
This year I will try more Shaky Head presentations at the pond plus KVD's Sexy Shad crankbaits to see how they perform.
Come on warm weather. Come on Dogwoods.
Low_Budget_Hooker reply :
I like it when a large storm settles in for 4-5 days of on/off rain. Varied intensity is what I like. When it goes from a drizzle to a steady rain to a drizzle to fog to drizzle, etc. Add 5 mph of S wind, a wake bait and how ever many sick days you have left.

Don't neglect the Spro BBZ-1 shad!!!!!

PondHunter reply :
Pitchin and Flippin cover near the bank since I dont have a boat.
zaraspook_dylan2 reply :
Anytime im on the water. But if I have to narrow it down, its gotta be a big flat with a depth of around 6 feet.
SoFlaBassAddict reply :
Early morning in the everglades. Tossing out a topwater frog and crankin it back in. There is nothing cooler than watching some huge fish blow up a line of lilly pads to grab a frog on some perfectly flat water.
DINK WHISPERER reply :
Being on my favorite lake on a beautiful Sat, my flippin stick in my hand, approaching a lili pad field the size of a small town, LOL! Oh yeah, that's living it alright!
