I am going fishing tommorow in massachusetts tommorow. What are some good lakes in plymouth County?

I am going fishing tomorrow in massachusetts. What are some good lakes in plymouth County? I would like to fish for either small or largemouth bass, trout, or salmon. Any lakes that are good?

You might want to check out the FLW Outdoors lake reports (see source). They have lake reports for many of the best fishing locations across the U.S. and I am sure have quite a few specific to Massachusetts. Good fishing!

A friend and myself want to enter into some fishing tournaments. Where should we start?

My friend and I go bass fishing practically every weekend so were talking and thought it would be fun to fish in a tournament one weekend. The thing is, we are not sure where to start. Are there tournament series for new commers like us? If it helps, we are down in North Carolina near Lake Norman (Yes, the pending FLW tourny factored into this idea!). We don’t expect to come in and win us some big prizes, just more of the experience and fun (For now at least), but who knows, maybe a lucky day!

Also, is there some good website (I can’t seem to find one) where you can find local tournaments from maybe local sponsors or of the such that wouldn’t be on a national website?

Any guidence is appreciated!!!

I would start out by fishing smaller fundraiser tournaments in your area. look in the paper or fishing magazines in your area. Get some experience. Learning how to plan your tournament day and exicuting that plan is a big part of suceeding in tournament fishing. Check local bait shops for tournaments and even local fishing clubs. Some clubs have one or two tournaments a month and keep season standings, this will force you to be consistant. After you start to have some sucess at these levels then you can look into FLW and other higher levels.

Do I need a fishing license if I live in Ohio and plan on releasing everything that I catch?

The regulations state that "A fishing license is required to take fish, frogs, or turtles from Ohio waters". I’m not taking any, am I still required to have a license?

yes. "take" includes pursue,capture, or ATTEMPTING to pursue or capture. if you are just fishing and not catching anything, you STILL need the license.

Anyone know of a good fishing reports site for Minnesota?

I have searched like mad to get some good reports for Leech Lake in Minnesota, but all I can find are outdated useless information.

I would either call Moore’s Lodge (800)-378-4199

or Crow Wing Crest Lodge (218)-652-3111, and ask them, "Whats going on?".

If you REALLY want the "straight dope" call Mark Christianson (218)-766-6909. He is a guide in the area and could/might give you some valuable info. You could also leave a question on the MN fishing "board".

Generally, for Wallys, find some submerged rock Islands with drops to 10-20 Ft. Fish a 1/4 OZ jig and a Minnow or Leech, (or a curly-tailed Grub).

For Musky, comb the "flats" and grass with king-size in-line spinners & Super Rapala’s. Huge Jigs in Lime green/Red Head or White/Red Head works well.

You probably know all this stuff already! Anyway, Hope you get your info!!!

Good luck & Catch some fish!

Fluke Fishing in New Jersey?

Does anyone know a good online site for fluke fishing reports for Raritan Bay? Or does anyone have a fluke fishing report for Raritan Bay.

If you’re living in that area of NJ, you need to check out the Hudson River Fishermens Association at www.hrfanj.org. Don’t let the name fool you. Most of the members fish the NY Harbor, Staten Island and Raritan Bay. A good source of info for fluke fishing throughout the area, including current fishing reports from local tackle shops.

What Japanese artificial lures are good presents for American fishing guides?

I am Japanese. I will go fishing to Florida next February . I will fish bass in some lakes with fishing guides. I will present some Japanese lures for them. I think it’s a good idea. But I have no ideas what to present. So I want to ask you what kind of Japanese lures are noticed in America? What pleases them ?

Lucky Craft is a good one that almost everyone that makes a living fishing in the United States uses.

ima is another one that has just become available in the USA.
http://www.imalures.com/flit120.php

Megabass, Daiwa, Evergreen, Shimano, Imakatsu, any lure from any of those companies that you can get in Japan will be hard if not difficult to get in the United States.
I know Lucky Craft has some colors that are not shipped to the USA.

A crank bait or top water bait from anyone of those companies I would love to own, or should I say own more of them, so am sure your guide would appreciate them as well.

Hope this helps you, and have a wonderful fishing trip.

Where are some good fishing spots in California?

For my Husband’s birthday we want to go fishing some where along the central coast of California. And we’ve already been to Goleta Beach and Point Mugu, so it be nice to try some place new.

Well, depending on a few factors, the answer may change dramatically.

What type of fishing do you want to do, salt or freshwater? From your question, I’m going to guess salt. Virg’s Landing and other commercial outlets in Morro Bay area are good choices. If you want to fish from shore, the majority of the Central Coast is decent fishing area. For freshwater, check this DFG pamphlet for ideas. http://www.dfg.ca.gov/oceo/fishcity/docs/ccr.pdf

When is your husband’s birthday? Depending on the time of year that you’ll be looking to go fishing, may determine where a good fishing spot would be.

Tight lines!
