Has anyone caught a bass from the beach larger than 7 inches ?

Hooked my largest bass from that lake today from the beach, by the lilly pads to the left, also saw a dead carp washed up on the shore

[oddjob]

How big was this bass ? and did you land it  ?

[BCfisherman97]

Easily 12 inches, really fat. I caught it by the lips and the hook fell off, and it just wiggled out of my hand.

Saw people swimming in the lake today 

WTF???  lol   are they stupid?   I was shocked seeing people walking around in the water up to their knees the other day.   GROSS!!

Cool!  I wonder if that's the one that I caught, but it broke off right at the shoreline.  Still has the hook in it's mouth.  I feel bad for it.

I swam in Deer Lake and Trout Lake all the time as a kid.  I credit that for why I almost never get sick.

Reminds of that George Carlin bit about fear of germs;

A family with two little children, it was nasty... And no, it had no hook in it's mouth so there are more bigger ones. I seem to lose a lot of fish that get stuck in the Lilly pads, and miss a lot due to the stinger hook on my poppers, I think it's too far back. Might have to tie up some new ones with a shorter distance from popper head to hook.

just curious what are you using? I've been using power bait minnows and find the lily pad area  way too weedy.

bro that was me and a random Asian couple I met fishing down there. I wouldn't really swim in it but walking out in bare feet to get past the shallows a bit won't hurt you -_-. Ya the lake is gross but we aren't having a water fight while drinking the damn water hahahaha

If you get a cut or open skin around your leg and water gets in, some paracite could get in and cause infection etc. I'd personally never wade that water.

I will post some pics in a bit of what I'm using, and it doesn't matter with poppers. You can fish them shallow and deep water. The fish seem to like it when you skip them over the pads then pause it for a bit in the clearings. Walk around the lake and find any pads with sections of clear water and fish them, you'll be surprised where the fish hide. Don't stay in one spot long, if you miss a few fish, move on and fish other part of the lake. Then come back and fish the areas where you missed fish, they usually will come back.

Sorry for the delay, here are a few of the flies that have worked the best-



And when the sun is out and the fish are a little deeper-

[Sam6140]

Hey bud, where do you get poppers from??  Or where did you buy yours? I want to get some and try it out.   Preferably something close by.  I live in Port Moody...so anywhere in Coq, Poco, works.   Thanks!
