I think fishing is one of those thigns that you have to do to be able to
do.
Sounds silly, but every technique I ever tried skunked out at first.
Then
when I caught a fish or two I could catch fish with that technique more
consistantly ever after, and I started to recognize conditions wher it
worked for me.

For a faster way to get up to speed there are a couple things you can
do.
Hire a guide a few times. The other is to join a fishing club that does
randowm draw boat/noboat tournaments and fish a season or two as a
non-boater.

Ha, maybe it's not luck then. Maybe it's skill and I have none!!!
But
I
will perservere... One day maybe I'll learn the secret! Good luck as
always!

I have been catching some fish everytime out. The biggest I have
caught
in
a while is about 3 lbs, but even monday after having waterskiers,
wake
boarders, and jet skiers tearing up the river all weekend I still
caught
a
couple dozen small fish and maybe 5 or 6 keepers.

Bah! Hehehe I got out, but caught nothing... Only got a couple
nibbles
on
a
weightless worm rig. I will be going out again on Saturday to
give
it
another shot. Monday morning at about 6am they were rising near
the
shore.
Canyon Lake is only 30 min from my house. Very convenient. I
have
been
told that Canyon is a little harder to catch bass out of. I don't
know
how
true it is, but with the luck I'm having, I believe it. Although,
I
am
learning a lot about the different rigs and presentation. Lemme
know
how
you
are fareing up there...

Wow, thanks for your help... I'll give the Westy Worms a try.
Good
to
see
another Arizonian on here =D

Canyon, I am not super familiar with. Check the forums at
www.azod.com

Try some Westy Worms prerigged and weighted in black and
yellow
horizontal
bands. Seems I recall that lake made Westy Worms what they
are
today.
(Heck I recall all kinds of things though. Some of them
even
actually
happened. LOL)

I fish the western side of the state. Mostly the Colorado
River
system
above Imperial Reservoir. Also sometimes on the Az /Mexico
border
above
Morelos Dam.

Thank you about the site. Register and post your progress
when
you
get
Canyon figured out. I personally like the look of Roosevelt
in
that
area,
but Canyon has definitely produced some big bass.

Any recommendations for lures/bait this labor day.
I'm
not
an
expert
on
bass yet and just don't know what they are hitting on
here
in
AZ.
Waters
a
tad murky at the lakes, and the temp is about 90-100.
I
wen
t
out
today
and
used just about everything I had. Spinnerbaits, Top
Waters,
Spoons.
I
even
used Salmon Eggs (Caught a small bluegill and bass on
them.)

I read that bass are moving to the more shallow
waters.
Is
this
true?

I'm just trying to get some knowledge before I go back
out.
Hope
you
can
give me some advice.

Well, got back about an hour ago. Caught 2 decent size Largemouths!!!!!
Used a dark purple plastic worm with no weight. I hooked up a third but it
spit the hook... I wish I had a scale with me to weigh them I would guess
that they were both over 2 lbs... What a blast!

Good luck in the tourney!
