bass fishing info
« on: August 31, 2009, 08:22:22 PM »

I was out at Mill Lake about two weeks ago fishing for trout and I ended up catching a few bass. The bass were really small but I kind of got the bug. My question is, where would be the best place for me to go (in the lower mainland) to catch some bigger bass  ( and lots would be a bonus) and how would i go about doing that (what lures to use, etc)?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.  P.S. I do have a pontoon boat (single person) and I plan on going this friday. Thanks

You can go to Albert Dyck park in Abbotsford and you will catch lots. I have caught them on a plastic worm and just drag it along the bottom or I have used my fly rod with a olive green micro leech. The fish are not that big but there is lots.

Freeman Lake up by Lucille Lake in Garibaldi used to have big bass. I have not fished it for years as I prefer fishing Lucille for Brookies and Rainbows

Hey Noxcape, I have tried fish trap several times with no luck. I was fishing with black plastic worms. I was walking around yesterday and the water seems really low. When you say fish the North side do you mean by the dock behind the Judo club. Sorry for the questions I am just getting into bass fishing this year. I have caught alot at Albert Dyck but would like to catch something a little bigger. Thanks
