Polo-dog I am on.

[Jmax]

Hello fellow fishermen, I fish the Chick here a lot and was told you all do to. Lately I have been catching bass on top water in the main lake. The main baits I have been using are a zera puppy, a white buzz, a Hawaian Wiggler, and a silver buddy ran fast over the grass. this last Saturday I caught around 70 bass mostly 13 to 14.5 inches but had a blast catching them. I also have been doing fairly well when the top water bite is poor on a zoom worm pumkinseed with a chartruse tail fishing it on bluffs were the water is 15 to 20 feet deep. On Sunday I tried to fish the top water bite but the weather was bad and so was the waves. Didn't do well so at around 9:30 went up Wolftever and caught about a dozen doing this pattern. Good luck and good fishing, Jmax

Welcome Jmax - Glad to have you on the forum. I bought my first silver buddy last week but have yet to use it. Thanks for the report!

Thanks DHaun glad to be on. Polo-dog has asked me about 5 times to get on and he wore me down so I am on. I have used the Places to Fish post for around four years now and he found me on it. Those Silver Buddies do not look like much but they give off some extreme vibrations and it can be fished shallow fast or jigged off the bootem deep so it is a very versital bait. If you just want to catch fish or have some kids with you tie one of those on and find some shad. Drop that below them and jig it and you can catch those yellow and white bass all day. In the winter it works well on the large mouth doing that.

Thanks for the tip Jmax - I will plan on trying that next time I get out to fish!

Welcome Jmax!! I'm glad that I finally wore you down. We all are about catching fish and sharing our experiences, good and bad. I have had a great time since I joined that's for sure. Thanks for sharing with the locals. If you look at all of the posts, the vast majority are very educational. I've learned a lot already. I probably spend more time than I should watching the site but my fingers are getting faster and that is making it less time consuming. Again, great to have you on board! We will get together, soon, hopefully.

Man Jmax ... I thought you'd never shut polo-dog up and come on over! Glad to see you over here myself. You're Chick reports on BFHP are, and always have been, informative. Looking forward to more...

He still hasn't shut me up!!!!!!!!!! I'll try to limit myselfemoPoke . I think that we ought to recruit all of the best fishermen in the Chattanooga area including the pros. Andy, Jay, and whoever else is versed at catching fish should be part of this if possible. Catching more and having more fun doing it is what I plan to get from being on the forum. If I can get others on fish, that makes me happy too.

Thanks RangerRob, I remember some posts that you had put on the Places to fish site. I also run a Ranger and remember the handle you use. I am 47 and have fished as long as I could walk so I have forgotten more fishing info than I can remember. I hope I can contirbute to you guys and I am always looking to improve just for personal satisfaction. I have been and still am addicted to fishing. I tell people all the time some guys drink, some smoke, some chase weman,...I fish. If I don't get my weeking hit I go into withdrawals, I am truly an attic. I can exchange tails with the best of them and hold my own in a tournament. Polo-dog tells me I will be right at home here with my kind of folks. I don't know about the Cremson Tide but I am a Razorback fan and that is even worse. The way my guys are playing I may want to change this year.

Polo-dog is right. This is a good bunch and you'll have fun in here. I've been impressed with "buddy" attitude in here. Now ... I just wanna fish with some of you guys!
