Can someone point me in the direction of a local source for Bass baits. I have mail ordered product already from Cabelas but it has not yet arrived and I want to head out this week end. I'm looking for topwater lures in particular. (not fly fishing)

Thanks,

Good to know info from a guy that fishes Bass alot :thumbup:

What is the best brand name for bass lures then?? I would go Rapala, but that is because its always what i hear.

 

[noxcape]

for most of my stuff stuff i use a couple of local companys stuff mostly tournament edge baits and tackle and reactions baits, tournament edge stuff is by far my favorite if you want to you can go across the boarder and get gary yamamoto stuff from joes sports and daves sporting good in bellinham

A lot of the custom poured castaic stuff is really good if you can get it up here. Thier plastics worked for me when I used to fish for largemouth at castaic lake in SoCal :happy: landed some upwards of 15lbs :thumbup:

dude im jelouse lol im going there next year for my honeymoon with the wife lol

 

[barbelface]

If you do make sure you fish the lower lake at dusk, that's when the crocs are out

 

[noxcape]

hmmm bass fishing and maybe feed the wife to the crocs might be a great honeymoon lol

Do not know where you will find them there; however, the best baits down South are buzz baits(top water with action), many colors, my favorite is white. They work early and late in the day here, till cooler temps then they can work all day. Salt.

to cold to fish top water here now lol im thinking tubes dragged on the bottom or even brush jig on the bottom might work slow presentation now

(Smallmouth)- The jitterbug works amazing at night in the shallows with a slow retreive.At this time of year they will feeding as much as they can for winter but are not very aggressive in the cold water.I've caught some monsters at this time of year back east this way. :2cents:

Thanks for all the suggestion guys. I did find a few top water baits I was looking for at A&N in New West. Some of the water around here is so bloody boggy that you need something to drag over the scum and lilies.
For all you that are new or Bass curious, there is no better way to get hooked than fishing for them top water style. Whether it be hula popper's, buzz baits, jitterbugs or the almighty "moss boss" it is awesome to watch "Walter" smash it from below.
Still waiting on the real killers to come up from the US. (Zara Spook & Moss Boss)

Thanks again,

 

[noxcape]

hey you can ge the moss bosses and zera spooks at reaction baits and also jsut cross the border to bellingham and get them there and they are cheaper then cebelas and bass pro
