I specialize in dinks sometimes. Best day ever bass fishing was maybe 150
bass and one bluegill. And since all 150 bass were the same size as the bluegill, about 9-10" I have to count dinks. Bill "Bob La Londe" wrote in message ... "go-bassn" wrote in message ...

Our club uses a paper weigh and record C&R format - everything counts. We
refer to shorts as "Lewis fish", named after Bob Lewis - the member that seems to specialize in the little bucks:). Since we have a skunk trophy to award at each tourney, a 6 oz bass can be key!

I don't agree with Rich. This could not possibly be farther away from
what I feel about bass fishing. It may come as as a surprise to some here, but it's not a competition for all of us. Some of us just like getting out and catching fish. I fished the competition route. Won my club's angler of the year. Caught plenty of keepers to brag about. Couldn't have been more let down with what I saw.

Andrew,
Like you, I've been the competition route. Gave it up for a while. Took it up again after the heart attack. Gave it up again a couple years ago. I fish to learn. I fish for the mental challenge. I fish for the feel of he hook set. I fish to spend time with fishing buddies (my favorite of whom is my son) partaking in an activity we both enjoy. I try to expand my circle of fishing buddies every year, to further share some of what I've managed to learn over a lifetime of fishing. But I don't count shorts. Oh, I'll mention them in a fishing report, but only in a vague way, because I don't COUNT them. EG, "I caught a 3 pounder and a bunch of shorts". If I come off the lake at the end of the day, and the only thing I've caught is shorts, I do consider it an unsuccessful day. RichZ© www.richz.com/fishing |

Maybe it depends on the size of the dink. Last year, trolling for trout as
I came out of the Middle Fork of Lake Oroville. Maybe 4 miles of 5 MPH limit, I hooked 3 fish. All bass and all 3-4" long on a 4" Rapala minnow lure. Did not count them as real fish, but counted against a skunk. And my wife and I did get a good laugh out of it. Bill "go-bassn" wrote in message ...

I agree.
Besides, a 10-inch bass on 2 pound test and an ultra light rod is blast. Caught a couple that way yesterday. Not my preference, but with a cold front and a stiff wind, I started trying to catch a few specks (that's crappie for the non-southerners) after not catching any bass for awhile. Nailed six small bass on a beetle spin and only two were illegal. Lot's of fun on ultra light tackle. No specks, though. K "Andrew Kidd" wrote in message news:ko4Mb.20535$I06.152180@attbi_s01...

RichZ© www.richz.com/fishing I disagree with that last sentence. I have nothing against catching big fish, but even if I don't catch anything, I still consider it a successful day as long as I had a good time, and I don't need to catch fish to have a good time. It helps, but it isn't necessary in my book. Same thing with hunting. One of my best hunts was calling in a big tom that stayed about 25 yards out of range for over three hours. Never did come in. I came home and when my wife asked how it when, I said, "I had a great hunt!" I was outdoors, lots of strategy involved, a beautiful bird in full strut, and the thrill that comes with the thought, "I'll get him next time." Keith |

I had two 12 inch spots on the second day, and three tiny fish, one about 4 inches long and two about 10 inches long. I figured the two 12 inchers weighed almost a pound each and the other three made up the rest of my total weighed of 3 pounds even.
