Hi all,
I’m an early 30’s subcontractor, work in commercial construction all over the US. My next job starts this February in Coralville. Normally I buy a nonresident hunting license wherever I am but all the seasons I’m interested in are coming to a close.
So, I was wondering if any of you seasoned hard water anglers wouldn’t mind showing a new guy the ropes. I’ve fished all my life in SE Texas, mostly saltwater. I’m definitely a fish-for-food kind of angler.
So, if any of you wouldn’t mind letting me buy the beer in exchange for an day of tutoring, please drop me a line!
Thanks,
Jason

Jason: I don't know if you have a reason or excuse to get up towards Minneapolis/St Paul, but if you are up this way, be happy to try to get you on some fish. Just shoot me a PM if you make it up this way.

I live in North Liberty very close to Coralville. Send me a message with your contact info and I will shoot you a text. I plan to go out this weekend ice permitting.

Your best luck for super fast action and table fare will be Clear Lake if you can get up another 3 hrs from Coralville. Clear Lake Iowa is 7 miles west of Mason City Iowa. Yellow bass can bite non-stop and there is absolutely no limit for yellow bass. Guys can literally catch 100 fish a day. Also has crappie, perch and one of the few lakes stocked with muskie in Iowa. But, the yellow bass fishing can absolutely be killer up there.
