white water and bass go together. Optimal conditions? It's hard to explain, each location is different , but when I see everything right I know the fish will be there. Staying safe. Waders , felt soles, a good water proof top with twobelts and a little common sense.

Give me the leading edge of a big Nor'easter, BIG water, not too much wind. I'm getting wood just thinking about it. I tend to be conservative in big water. One of the reasons I feel LONG casts are highly under rated.

In the soup or fish the edge?

Do you find more action on the edge of the white water, or do you get most of your hits right in the middle of all of the turbulence?


PS -- are these pictures being displayed OK?

I like the slop, right behind where they break.. Pics don't show.

Fog is your friend...

As long as you're not in a boat and up tight to the rocks, I think fog keeps the bass close to shore even after the sun has lifted.

When conditions are tough...or for that matter great...

Who's your ideal fishing buddy...someone who goes out no matter what the conditions?

Or is someone who just makes it a better experience by being there?
