Mantua

[Fin-S-Fish]

I'm in agreement with you and bassduder, there are plenty of bass in Mantua and plenty of size too. Most standard bass techniques catch the smaller and uneducated bass.....it takes finesse nontraditional tactics to outwit anything with size since they have seen and learned to reject almost everything. I sight fish alot and in most waters 90% of the bass will only stare at baits and reject them. The bigger the bass, the less likely the inhale will come if ever. Just because people aren't catching them doesn't mean the population is low. It just means they are smart and don't want a hook in the mouth. Even pro-tournament folks can't finesse some of these bass to bite. But it doesn't mean they aren't there. Mantua's bass population is very stable and size is steadily increasing for me this year. It jumped up an average of 3-4 " from last year. Plenty of 15- 17 inchers around now with a some honkers out there.
