Best thing to do is juss get your feet wet. I found about 10 decent spots last summer juss walking the river. Be carefull tho.

Yeah I was thinking of doing that once all the mud dries up.

How big are the bass you are catching in the grand? Or what kind or lures do you typically use?
Every body I see fishes worms only .. I've had luck with fake worms even though people said it wouldn't catch anything lol =\

Ps nice username lol

Was out on the grand from 6-8 this morning and sadly only got 1 bit but wasn't able to hook it.

Tried the spinner baits, various crank baits, and some jigs and plastic worms or tubes. Maybe it could be my technique though..

Lol I just wanna catch a bass that puts up a nice fight! Been too long since my last catch

Hmmm, bigger fish... for starters I would try bigger baits!

 

Try, spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, jigs, 4 inch or longer soft plastics, all these seem to get me my biggest bass. I haven't had any luck hooking into other species of fish, except carp and sunfish so I can't help you that much... For carp, I either use worms or corn and the same for sunfish with a crappie tube thrown in the mix. I usually have to weed through lots of smaller fish before I catch a nice sized one.

Yeah, we were fishing at mohawk lake and caught two 9-10 inch largemouth bass and an 18 inch carp just using some half-dead worms.
