I know this is way off topic, but its a topic that's been buggin the stew out of me ever since the weather has been nice enough to fish.

I want bass for dinner, but I don't know how to catch it. The only fish I've ever fished for are open and deep sea fish and catfish (which I don't like anyway). I like the way bass tastes when grilled but the local markets don't carry it regularly.

Now I know with the number of men on this board there is at least a handfull who can give me tips on fishing for bass. I've got a pretty sturdy pole and absolutely no idea where to fish for and what kind of lures to use to catch bass. I know that there are bass in local reservoirs, but they're just so darn elusive. Help please!
