"BOLDbomber was trying out a new theory, using RED hooks along with some RED line." "The hooks and the line were near invisible to BOLDbomber and the fish." "To give the hook more profile HE added a CUSTOM fat 3inch Senko."

~"BOLDbomber says 'you can take a 5inch / 6inch Senko and cut it down to 3inch, this will give you more profile.' MO"~

"BOLDbomber was wacky rigging a Senko with a drop shot weight under it." "HE went as far as coloring the weight RED as well."

~"BOLDbomber says 'sometimes they try to eat the weight, so coloring the weight RED helps.' MO"~

~BOLDbomber had a good day.~

No problem! Just make sure if you catch a Bed-Bass whether it be Male or Female please by all means release it as soon as possible,..unless of course you are Touney-Bassin! Thanks!

BED FISHING

By: BOLDbomber

Grab your rod and reel and head to the lake,..
Bass are on beds, fishing's a "piece of cake",..

Any fisherman that can and see and can cast,..
Will be rewarded with some very nice bass,..

The bass stay on their beds all day and all night,..
Protecting their offspring, of course they will bite!

Throw tubes, dropshots, senkos, craws and jigs,..
And take lots of pictures of your big trophy pigs,..

Nice job on your catch, but let there be no doubt,..
Bed fish are easier than hatchery trout,..

The ones who really love bed fishing are the anglers that wish,..
They'd ever never leave the nests so they could keep catching fish,..

BOLDbomber agrees with BB, put them back right away
So they can be caught 8 more times that day,..

One last tip when fishing a bed,..
make sure your hook, weight and line are all RED!

GOD SPEED

My thoughts on Bedding-Bass:

Male Bass on Beds are easy I agree,
But let there be no mistake the catchin isn't free.

You still have 2 put time on the water,
know what you're doing this isn't "Clam-Chowder".

Someone dosen't just serve it in a bowl,
this isn't "fish-in-a-barrell" just so you know.

There's a method to the madness and most Bassers will agree,
when you catch a Bed Bass it's not just 1-2-3!

You can catch the males all day and forever,
but Momma's what we want,
this becomes our treasure.

You have 2 think outside the box,
2 catch the Big Gurl cause she's slick like a fox.

Catch her coming in and back 2 the bed,
keep an eye on her as she's shaking her head.

Like JW says use the Drop-Shot and more,
or as Tag has put it cast a Spinner 2 the shore,
drag it back and slow roll for a bit,
cause you never know just when Big Momma will hit.

Our CPR methods are important for this,
don't take them away from their beds or they'll miss
the predators that try and snatch their eggs,
and make a mess on the bed where they lay.

Bassin-On-Beds is not easy as you say,
you still have 2 know what you're doing, it's not childs play.
Just another method in our Bassin-Weapons,
but let's remember to upgrade the protection.
These Bass are vulnerable right now can't you see,
so try and catch Big-Momma and leave Poppa be!

You guys should leave the bed bass alone!! Fish for the females!!! There easy and will bite.

fishingboy · Post by **fishingboy** » Thu May 28, 2009 8:04 am

but if we fish for the females that means less largies catch the males so we can get more LARGIESthough!!!

how big are those beds in diameter roughly? I found a bunch of beds (what I thought were beds) on Lake Twelve. Everything looked like what you guys describe here on the forum, but they seemed big! at least 12"+ in diameter. otherwise though the area, the depth, and the formation were exactly the same.

They vary in size
Key is did u see anyfish on them.
The smallies on pine have already spawned and are off their beds

a big bed means a big fish.

As far as the bed fish I have caught this year..I release em where I caught em..and when I check, within seconds they are back on the bed. You couldn't tell the female from the male on a couple of beds..they were the same size...so the female doesn't always leave right away....unless she just wasn't finished with her deal...they hang out. Ask AaronE, we saw the same thing. And like tnj says...the bigger the bed, the bigger the fish...usually. My biggest to date was an 8-6 full of eggs caught in mid June. They spawn when they get the urge.

I was bed fishing at Moses last week and saw SM beds that were as big as the hood of a small car. They are almost done
