We're having a fish-in in April targeting the (illegally-stocked)
largemouth bass in the Vancouver area.

I've never fished for bass befo any hints? And do I need a 225hp
boat and do I need to dress like a NASCAR driver?


As far as the fast boats go, a friend of my father's used to fish bass
tournaments, and the participants all left the starting line at the same
time in the morning. The ones with the fastest boats got to the best fishing
spots on the lake first and could claim a good spot as their "turf". In the
evening as the deadline approached for fishermen to come to the dock and
weigh their day's catch, the fast boats allowed them to stay on the water a
little longer since they could make it back quickly.

The metal-flake paint and Nascar clothing? I think that's just a redneck
thing...
