Here is a http://www.f150online.com/galleries/pic ... &anum=3208 PIC of a 3 1/2 Bass caught with a 1/2 oz Strike King Pro Model jig and a GYCB Crawdad.

And here is another 'jig' Bass. Man, she looks bigger than 2 1/2 lbs but that's what I remember the scale showing. http://www.f150online.com/galleries/pic ... &anum=3208

LR,
Pretty good size bass! All of them are nice bread-and-butter fish.

LR,
A little off subject, but is that Genral Lee or Longstreet on your panel?

Neither, that's General Nathan Bedford Forrest, the greatest cavalry officer ever. He led from the front; had 29 horses shot dead out from under him but he killed 30 of the enemy--one more than they got.

Nice Bass LR...

I love that clump to the right of your shoulder on the second picture...
Have you caught any at that spot???
Is this a private lake???
Nice Bass though...

Man does that first Bass have a belly...
Congrats on the catches...
Nice Bass though...

CD: You mean this http://www.f150online.com/galleries/pic ... &anum=3208 one? I can't say that I know I've caught a Bass there for sure as those "clumps" are everywhere. Those "clumps" are scattered all over most of that 10(?) acre swamp pond. They are stumps that have bushes/grasses growing out ot their tops. Yes, it's private and owned by a friend that allows me to fish there almost any time I want to.

Here are two more pics showing the stumps. Actually, they are clustered togeather more closely than these pics show. It's a "little bit of Heaven"!

LR that is one nice place you got there...
Do you add forage or is it self contained???

[Lightninrod]

CD: No(except for a couple of grass carp) forage has been added since it was formed about 20 years ago. At the time, a couple of guys brought back some(?) Bass and Crappie from Lake Blackshear, GA. Since then, there has been no DNR "stocking" so it is "self-contained". Some fish may enter it via the creek that feeds into it? Every fish I catch there is returned---usually unharmed.

Btw, I have seen two 'gators in there. One is about 4-5' long and the other is 8-10' long and about 4' across her girth ! There are beaver, Canada geese(2), Wood Duck, and a couple of water-turkeys in and around there too.

Lightnin that looks like a very very nice place to fish, I guess that it also has a nice population of fish.

you are very lucky to be able to fish there, i wish i had a place like that, even though i kind of do with my sump.

[Holy Mackerel !]

Very nice catch.

[swear by senkos]

I cant believe My secret spot (sump) is still frozen over, i guess that is from being in the shade.
