[Bassin_Dude]

im sure it is illegal to fish before season. check your local laws tho.

bass season ??? Â*What's a bass season? Pre-spawn, spawn, post-spawn?

Just yanking your chain . Â*Depending on your local laws, it may be illegal to keep them if you catch one, but I'd check with the Fish and Game dept. to be on the safe side.

What in the world are you talking about? Trout maybe but not bass

[bassfisher14]

Some states actually have seasons for certain fish, so don't come down on this guy just because he isn't sure if his state has a season.

Best thing to do is look up your states Wildlife resources agency website and look to see if they have a season for bass fishing.

[bigcheese43]

i do not kno if Minnesota has seasons or not? sorry guys i should have made it more specfic. during spawing time. like the ice on the lakes just melted and i was planning on goin fishing this weekend but someone told me u cant fish during spawn. is that true or no?

[ahlkajflakjj]

If they do have a "bass" season.....move.

I am not certain about your state or area. Here in Texas every day of the year we can catch bass. Just have to follow state and lake guidelines as to what size is legal. If you are on a slot lake, make sure you aren't keeping illegal size fish.
Pick up a Parks and Wildlife handbook issued by your state.

I dont believe in keeping bass...ive tried them before and they dont taste that bad.

[Infisherman1]

I've tried them once, they're pretty good. But I always catch and release except for that once.

[ahlkajflakjj]

now even if i wanted to, these people in their houses ,watching me fish their pond and keeping their fish.....id be ran out.

[bigcheese43]

well i do not keep bass at all. but some one told me that there is a season for bass in mn and i was just wondering if u guys had any knowlage about this topic.

[Infisherman1]

The one time was out of a fairly large lake with a large population of bass.

[ahlkajflakjj]

[Rich]

Yankee ;D

I'd just check with the Fish & Game department.

[ahlkajflakjj]

lmao, hey you minnesotaians or whatever you call yourselves tell your friends from the north to get off our golf courses. > ;D

In defense of Minnesota they have some fantastic smallmouth fishing up there, not to mention walleye, pike and muskie.

[Infisherman1]

Not to mention the spectacular scenery and wildlife throughout the state.

[bigcheese43]

yes REB, very nice wallie and pike up here. never had fished for muskie but i know there is a lot up here. we do have over 10,000 lake here in Minnesota so we have some monsters up here. not to big of bass tho. the recored is only 8 lb 4 oz

[macgyver]

Yes some states absolutely do have bass seasons and even on a local level, a particular body of water can have it's own rules. Go to your state Department of Natural Resources "site" and look for it. Under fishing regulations.

Its the third saturday of June here in Ny state.P N J

[bigcheese43]

so can u still fish for them even know the season has nto started?

[Bassin_Dude]

most northern states do have bass seasons. i would check your laws, and see what the rules are. if you do fish for bass and not suposed to, and you were caught, say you were fishin for something else. i know thats not right, but as long as you dont keep them, there shouldnt be a problem.
