Seeing pictures and and reading about nice bass is killing me!

A bunch of you are talking about the class of 1998 and the fact there are a lot of 18lb-20lb bass in the bay right now...To me it seems like there are many fewer bass in the bay period than the past 2 years at this time.

How do you work your way out of a slump??
Don't get discouraged. If you want piece of good advice do as I do and count your fish in December.There will be plenty of ups and downs during the season.

Take it from someone who has endured countless skunkings.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Best bit of advice I've seen on fishing.
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

When I get in a bad slump I find the best thing to do is take a few days off. It clears my head and gives me time to think about what I'm doing wrong. Then when I go back I'm fresh and more willing to try new things.
