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? [Reply]

We have to go fishing together sometime. You sound just like me. :-)
Do you cry when you lose a fish? How do you cope with it? I feel like going into morning. The enitial shock where's off but you never lose it in your gut. [Reply]
Fucking fish and their mind tricks. They go and jump so you hurry up and take your pole to that spot then once you cast it's jumping right where you were before. That's why I use thee poles fuck you fish I'm on to you.

I cry, I scream, I cuss, I say hurtful things about that fish and it's entire species. And then I tell them what I'm going to do to them when I finally catch them. [Reply]

Well shit I hate leaving especially nuthooks I've been up well over 30 hours and I have to drive home and work tonight to start 6 night 12 hour shifts or however much they work me.
I don't get it everything that worked last year and everything else I can think isn't doing it this year. I have to reevaluate my life and maybe become a monk and get monk tattoos. The only thing worse not catching anything is leaving the lake knowing the next cast could be the one. [Reply]
