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]

I was a human pinball in a pinball machine but at least I had fun but I conceded to the river and has to walk 3sh miles to the destination where my friend was waiting to pick me up.
Holy Shitballs that was nuts. Now I need a new kayak to do it again.
Damn, that sucks.
Kinda surprised you'd jump right into white water after only just starting kayaking. As you've found out, not a good idea.
Glad you're OK and only your pride......and kayak were hurt. [Reply]

Actually, it was really dumb (if he went where I think he did).
Dude, did you even research it before hopping in?
This movie was shot on May 21, so conditions were most likely similar to what you experienced, right?

From the road didn't look white water and it was shallow torain I didn't think it would be nearly that bad and I fought big waves on Lake Wilson with my kayak and thought to myself it couldn't be that bad. Wrong lol. On the flip side had I started just three miles is a location for kayaking taking it easy it would have been much better for me.

I didn't think it was that bad but bad enough and a few times I'd let my kayak go in front of me. It was a bitch to get the water out on the sides of the river. It was nuts. Probably up three top five dangerous or stupid things I've tried. But nevertheless it was fun. [Reply]
Just got back from my annual trip to northern quebec - 85 walleye in 4 days between my son and I. Plus a bunch of northern pike. Was awesome - first night was 30 degrees C, then NW wind blew in and went down to 4 degrees C by final night. crazy, but did not impact fishing that much surprisingly. [Reply]

Glad your OK. It easily could have turned out badly. [Reply]

I'm headed up to LoW with my brother, dad, and some other family/friends here in a few weeks. Frickin pumped! We've been pulling in about 100+ walleye per boat (3 to 4 fishers in boat), per day the last few years. There is no walleye fishing like Canadian walleye fishing [Reply]

Yeah, but did you find any trout? The rio has a lot of almost-virgin water and some nice, strong,and large fish. [Reply]
