Are you guys sure that these lures really work? Cause here is why I'm asking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well it all starts like this.My dad is 71yrs old.All he wants to do being retired to to go out on the lake and bass fish.I love bass fishing.All I ever used to do was fish some ponds.The lake thing is new.
Anyway,I get all excited cause you know we will have to get a boat. Well to make a long story short,I start doing my researching and stuff.We buy a brand new 2008 Ranger 188vx,with Lowrance 522c.Than we Head over to BPS and drop over $2,000 on rods reels lures the whole nine yards.We get all set up.Took sonar seminars and everything.We bought the hot spot cards too.
So we head out to the lake.We fish all day.This was in April.Not a bite.Nothing.Well,this went on all damn summer.We have tried every lure every combo we can think of.I brought magazines with me with articles and tried to do what it says in there.Nothing. This went on for 4 months with out even one small bite!
So we decided lets try some other lakes.Same damn thing.Well today 12/19/08 it was 70 out today.So we head to the lake.And guess what? All we did was waste gas!Is this insane or what?6 months and not even a friggin nibble.I'm so mad but laughing at the same time.
All I want is my dad to catch one little bass and he will be sooo happy.You should have seen the look on his face when he thought he got a hit.His face lite right up! It was just a snag.
I have been fishing in Lake greenwood S.C. I was fishing in Lake Hartwell where the 2008 Bassmasters was. Hartwell is down to dirt and grass is growing in spots.Thats why I switched over to Greenwood lake. I don't have anyone to fish with so I'm on my own to learn the most I can.
I'v been using Strike King KVD crank baits,spinner baits,green pumkin gulp worms,buzz baits,and other top water stuff.
I'v been out there at the crack of dawn,afternoon,evening. How is it possible not to catch one tiny little bass.In the ponds you catch them till the cows come home.
So what am I doing wrong?I just totally give up. Do I need to go to a better lake?
Now I'm flat broke.This is my last resort.If they don't work than everything is up for sale!
