Number of Bites-Per-Hour - Poll

wasilvers · Jul 2, 2010

Sometimes I feel like if I don't get a bass to bite every 3rd cast, then the fishing is terrible. :?

What is your average hourly bite-rate like? I'm talking about public waters here, not the stock ponds where you keep them hungry and agressive.

This will give an idea if the fishing really is slow or fast compared to others.

I don't specifically go after bass myself. I fish for them but while fishing for them I am also fishing for pan fish, catfish, gar, pickeral, bowfin, carp, and anything else I can catch. I will have four rods in the water and be casting a fifth for bass. It can get busy at times.

Bites per hour? Heck, for me, it needs to be hours per bite. :lol:

Over the course of a year, I'm probably 1 bite (= 12" or better fish in the boat) every two hours.

During the winter and summer I'm probably 1 bite every 2.5 hours, while spring and fall I'm 1 bite every 1.5 hours.

That sounds awful, but it turned out pretty good overall after a season long tournament. And no, my partners numbers were not any better :LOL2:

This is about in line with me as well.

Same here! But at least we're gettin' outside!

The average can be deceiving.. I'll go two hours without a bite, then get 3 within 15 minutes, then go another 2 hours. If I were smart I'd realize it's all dependent on the spot, but :?:

5-10 for me, unless it is one of those days where the action is non stop.

20+ - Fishing is Great

15-20 - I have all good days

10-15 - One fish every 5 minutes is all I can handle.

5-10 - I like to nap between strikes

0-5 - Slow is the only way to go
