I agree John,

I find myself throwing into the first 6" or so of weedline (typically with a
spinnerbait) and hope I miss picking up weeds, letting the bait fall for a
second or two and use various retrieve speeds...medium is usually the most
productive.

I find if I don't get in far enough...ferget it.

P.S.

Craig,

My problem is dog day heat conditions in mid-summer...?

In still water I cover as much shore line as I can, if the bass are
moving, we will cross paths eventially! Throw a top water over em, and a
blade under them til ya find em g.

transplant, try fishing vertically in 15-20' of water around rock piles, and
deep water weeds. But, to be honest, my first goal during these times is to
find all the incoming water sources I can and pound the heck out of the
mouths of these sources.

There are no tough fishing conditions when you're fishing for the fun of it
Craig. But I hate to fish in the cold, blowing, freezing, crappy snow!

C'mon spring... where are you?

Just when I thought it was starting to show signs of warmer weather ahead...
along comes a nice little snow shower to remind me that it's still winter.

I can usually find and catch bass pretty consistently. But if the water

is
perfectly still, (no wind or water current) I'm in trouble, big time!!!
Current (be it wind or water), fishing pressure, heavy stained/muddy

water,
bright skies/Clear Water all forces fish to stay close to cover (at least
for the most part), and easy to catch. But when the water is still, and

the
wind is not blowing, the fish seem to move freely about. Hawg heaven

areas
seem to dry up.

Typically, I run to the first incoming water spot to pick up the easy

bite.
But hey, those hawgs are still there, or at least in the area. You would
think that they would move to mid depth weed beds for the oxygen, but that
hasn't worked for me. So what do you guys do, when the water is perfectly
still?

What is the toughest fishing condition that causes you hell?

It's 13° here, but the wind is down so it feels like a heat wave! I cannot
wait for a few days of at least 40°.

I had a dream last night that I was getting out for the first time this
year. About half way to the lake, I realized that I had not only forgotten
the keys to the boat... but all of my equipment was still at home too. It's
not the first time that I've dreamed this neither.

This is the first year that I've completely removed everything from the boat
for winter storage, and I guess I'm worried that I'll forget something when
I reload it.

We've had temps in the 50's this week... but with it came rain, rain, rain,
and more rain. Oh yeah, and some nice stiff winds.

You're a pro, you will remember everything! Create a check list and simply
make sure everything is checked off. We do it all the time in sales, to
make sure deals have all the necessary paperwork for processing and to get
funded. Works well in preparing for a tournament and outings as well.

Hopefully with everything sitting here in my bedroom, I'll remember at least
all the important stuff. My wife is sure to remind me since she's the one
complaining about it being in here! LOL

Catfish,just make sure that dream doesn't come true when you are about to
the Fla. state line and all you have with you is the Nitro.
