QUESTION FOR BASSASS

[kansasfisher89]

Hey Lonehunter told me to come to you. I'm 14 and I love to fish, I fish at lakes in kansas. I would mostly like to catch bass. I don't know a whole lot about fishing so if you could direct me to some good sites and such that would help a lot.

Thanks

Well keep yourself bundled up and keep your worms warm. I just love those big crappie. I have some recipes on the recipe board. Feel free to check them out and contribute any that you might have.

[shocked][shocked] 80 degree weather! I think I forgot what 20+ degrees feels like. I'd just about kill for that right now[].

We need that to keep up for a few more days. That will provoke an early spawn for this year and open the Bass season right up.
