I have never seen a book that just targeted Sea bass. However I did a little digging and I found a DVD on how to catch Black Sea Bass. If I were you I would just do an Internet search and ask around. Takes some notes and compile a nice little how-to book yourself. http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7389832 I agree with Cents/Johnny. I have never seen a book that just targeted Sea bass.

]]> Comment on Shimano Bass Fishing Reels by James W http://my-bassfishing-space.com/shimano-bass-fishing-reels#comment-13144 James W Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:55:01 +0000 http://my-bassfishing-space.com/shimano-bass-fishing-reels#comment-13144 Yes you can. Shimano reels are pretty saltwater corrosion resistant. But, extra care is still required though. Baitrunner reels got more moving parts than regular spinning reels so you must make sure no saltwater or saltwater residues were trapped in those parts after you rinsed it after every use. PS: I use freshwater spinning reels in saltwater all the time. If you remember to rinse your reels after each use and keep your reels properly lubricated, saltwater corrosion won't be a major problem. Just don't use very cheaply made spinning reels in the surf because most of those reels are not very sand resistant. Other than this, there're no major problems. So far, none of the Shimano freshwater reels gave me any problems in saltwaters. Yes you can. Shimano reels are pretty saltwater corrosion resistant. But, extra care is still required though.

In some states the larger spawning fish have to be released so that the fish population will remain constant or grow.

Many of these fish get so lethargic (lazy) this time of year. Live bait for crappie in the winter is of no use. They will not chase their food. Your best bet is to go ahead and use a small jig, a small tube bait, or a small spoon and just fish it off the bottom, VERY SLOWLY. If there is a dock out over deeper water (more than 15') you could fish there. Otherwise you need to get out over deep spots, obviously needing a boat. If your in Virginia, contact me. I'm ready to do some fishing. Good luck. Much like cold weather bass fishing, you have to downsize the line, downsize the bait, and take your time.

If your going to be using plastic worms i would go with the plastic night crawler (natural worm color) rig them texas style on and offset hook, no weight added (unless fishing deeper water), just cast them out let them slowly fall to the bottom. If you see your line moving in any direction then you know something has taken the worm, give it a few seconds (reel in your slack line) and set the hook. Not much to it. You can also twitch the worm, hop it, or drag it, you could even wacky rig it, experiment until the fish let you know what they want. This is really effective around weeds and stumps. Good Luck, and dont forget about those top water lures. Like i said in your other question about the topwater propeller baits, that applies to this question too!

As far as poles and lures go get a jigging rod. It is about three feet long with one or two big guides and a spinning rel. the rod is short because you might be fishing inside a shanty. My favorite ice fishing lure is the Rapala vertical jig. I have caught more fish with them than with tipups or any other lure. A swedish pimple tipped with a piece of earthworm works well for perch. It should be good for crappie and bluegills. Most people I know who fish for pike use tipups and live bait. Hope this helps. Keep things simple and have fun. Jack traps are the best tip ups I have seen. They don't cost much more than the cheapos. Lymanspond had a good answer. As far as poles and lures go get a jigging rod.

I'm a pretty experienced angler, but not with ice fishing. If we ever get some cold weather (it was upper 60s in western PA on Tuesday!!) I plan to go up to Erie or to some local lakes to fish for crappie, blue gills, pike, and walleye. I've never gone ice fishing before. Can you list some lures which are good and equipment which is necessary to have with you. average pound line to use, rod companies, jigs, etc. Thanks What do I need to go ice fishing?

If the predators keep on chasing, the baitfish will jump out of the water. Once in a while a bluefish would also jump out of the water in pursuit of baitfish. The water surface then appears to be breaking as fish jump out of it to live or eat. Also huge bluefin tuna will break the water.
