Nzoner's Game Room>The Fishing Thread
Easy 6 07:58 PM 02-19-2010
Searched around & only found the video fishing & BassMasters threads, i know their are plenty of outdoorsman here, so i figured it'd be cool to draw upon the Planets vast experience in all things fishing.

I only use spincast reels & fish mostly large/smallmouth bass & cats. My choice of reels is quite the source of derision from many people i know 'duffer gear', but i haul in my share of 6 pound bass & 10-20 pound cats on that gear no problem. With a little know-how you can use just about any technique you want to on 'duffer gear'.

Berkley Powerbaits are a big part of my trick bag, the difference between those & regular stuff is night & day. My best action last summer came on Mister Twister scented white curly tail grubs, on one day fishing from shore to a bridge pier, i caught smallies, bigmouths, perch & even 1 carp believe it or not... great day. But my bread & butter is a texas rigged Berkley worm, it'll wiggle through any kind of cover without getting hung up.

With cats i strictly bottom fish, no bobber & bait is just as basic... but its always in 2's to give'em a real treat... a shrimp/with a nightcrawler, liver/chunk of cheese etc. Cats are mostly for night sport to me, time to kick back a lil...

So thats me style, how do the rest of you guys get your fish on? What do you fish for, what do you use? IIRC Missouri's trout season just kicked off, anyone getting anything?

Had that heartbreaking moment today. Whatever it was, took my line and ran with it. Pulling drag, bending the hell out of my rod. I had a few seconds to fight back before it spit the lure out. I must have not set the hook well.

I have been bummed ever since. I would've been pumped just to see what it was and how big before it spit it out.
I lost what i thought was the flathead of a lifetime last summer. Those fish fight different than most, similar to reeling in dead weight. It had my pole doubled over for about 15 minutes then broke 30lb braided line.

I'm sure that fish never made it out of that river and back into the Kaw alive. I'd be willing to bet that it landed on some snaggers dinner plate. I know it's illegal, but i know a few people who catch the large flatheads from lake outlets and release them into the lake. I'm not one to tell people what to do with legally taken game, but it makes me sick to see trophy fish illegally taken away to be slaughtered.

I have been curing my chicken livers with garlic salt and anise. Toughens the liver up so you don't need thread. Works like a champ. Been catching the shit out of catfish this year.

Anybody have any luck lately? The last few times we went out, we had very little success. Caught a saugeye and channel Saturday morning. That was all we caught for five hours of fishing. The water is around 82 degrees and the moss is starting to die off. It seems most fishing reports have most Oklahoma lakes as below average fishing right now.

I did have very good success at a lease pond. Pond was covered in moss, so it was top water frogs only. Caught several decent sized. I've never caught fish on frogs so it was pretty fun. My buddy and I took a small two man canoe out on the ponds.

Gonna have to give this a try. Watched a youtube video a while back about soaking cut up hot dogs in the same thing and letting it sit around to ripen up. The guy was catching some nice ones on it.

I've got some friends that are doing well on remote parts of the Kansas river, but they all have boats.

Me? I can't even get a bite anymore. Last three trips i haven't gotten one

Wow, thats outstanding... what bait did you have?

Wish I had something to brag about, but this might've been my worst spring/summer of fishing ever

My best spot is way out in the woods on a creek, there was an absolutely humongous tree along the bank that had to have been every bit of 200 + years old, this thing was like one of those California redwoods

Well during the spring, a combination of bank erosion and a huge storm knocked it down, and it fell DIRECTLY along the only part of the bank thats relatively open... it pretty much destroyed my best spot

I've been fishing that spot since i was in junior high. Caught him on a goldfish. Growing up i lived 3 blocks away from there. I love that spot. It reminds me of being a little kid.

Lip or tail hooked and still alive, or pierce it through the gut to let the blood flow?
