om...
I have a confession. In my 20+ years of bass fishing I don't think
I've ever broke double digits alone. My best days are always around
6-7 bass. I've been fishing with a couple of guides, I even came in
second in an Orlando Bassmaster tournament, but I just can't seem to
catch bass in quantity. When I read posts on this site and in other
places it seems that it's common for people to be catching 50-60 fish
in one day! On the other hand I've been watching a show called "Angler
on Tour" and this guy, who is a pro bass fisherman, is only catching 3
or 4 fish a day. What's up with that? Do I just suck or is everyone
exaggerating?

Chuck.

P.S. In that Orlando tournament, the owner of the boat I was in came
in first!


Hi Chuck,
I have lots of 6-10 fish days. I also have a pretty good share of 20-25
fish days. I even occasionally have 0-3 fish days.
Much of it depends on the body of water I'm on, or the weather. I think
an even bigger factor is how often you get out. You get out often enough,
you're bound to run into more of those incredible days we all dream of! I
get out an average of once a week when the water isn't quite as hard as now!
:-) I would also say you're style of fishing has a lot to do with it. You
will definitely catch a lot more bass on a small crankbait then a larger
one, but the fish will also average smaller in size. Same with a worm.
Smaller the bait, more fish. I typically lean this way, cause I'm not
usually concerned with winning a tourney.


Ohh, and some people exaggerate profusely. :-)
