I don't fish with dummies, its just that they seem to need assistance on a few things like lure/bait selection, color, getting too excited when they catch something and leading to losing the fish from improper hook set.
I was referring to spawning bass for C&R. Don't get me wrong, I only catch and release at certain places and months. They taste very good. I keep them only during the summer months depending on size. Too big = very rubbery. I think the best is about 2lb. Tenderrrrr
JBee99, sounds like you got yourself a very good location! Water access everywhere.
