I really have a lot of fun drop shotting. In open water drop shotting works awesome. I have caught all species, bass, trout, perch, crappie etc. While on the bank, I have caught a few drop shotting, but it seems to work better in open water. I have a float tube and a pontoon and drop shotting...

It is funny that you mention catching catfish on lures. Years ago, I use to use a mepps minnow and caught a lot of catfish. I was bass fishing and all of a sudden I started catching catfish on lures. I was very surprised at first and after several, it was a blast. Stopped using lures, but I will...

Brownlee Brownlee Hi Joesnuffy, Bringing a group in a couple of weeks to Brownlee. I normally use chicken liver, catfish stink bait, all those great smelly things. I have friends that use inards from fish and they say that works great. I know the catfish really use their smell for feeding. How...

Hawk, How do I contact crappie chaser? I have read many of your replies and appreciate all of them. I am from the Stockton area also, like most of us Oregonians. I have been here for 27 years, and love it. I still have a lot of fam down in that area and fish it whenever possible. Thanks again...

Hey bassin 16, I have fished ten mile, and Eel lake a lot and my favorite is topwater buzzbaits, they are a blast. Usually later in the summer, they work really well. Right now, I'm sure plastics will be the ticket. Lots of docks and structure on these coastal lakes. And ALWAYS a lot of fun...

Does anyone fish the Denman ponds? I have heard stories about nice fish out at the pond by the airport in white city? I am planning on getting a map of all the ponds in the area from the fish and game. Any other info. would be great. Thanks, FenderBender :cool:

Do we have any bass fisherman in Southern Oregon? With this hot spell, fishing has went NUTS. Nothing big yet, but lots of fish. Ponds and small lakes have REALLY turned on. Still struggling with bass up at Lost Creek. Have heard that Applegate has been producing smallies though. Let's hear what...

The Loop The Loop I am planning a trip with a bunch of buddies down the Umpqua early summer. Did anyone do the "LOOP" last summer? Where did you put in? Where did you take out? I google earthed the area and saw a few small rapids, but I believe we will be fine with our toons and drift boat...

Fantastic Fantastic I totally agree with everyone else. I live down in the Medford area and I would love to do something like this for this area. I am new to this site, but I already love it. I enjoy looking what everyone else has interests in. Lots of great info. If I ever fish the Portland...
