Other Sports The Fishing Thread - Page 156

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?

She is the one i went to New Mexico and stayed a week with her while she was on assignment and that I took my kayak for a spin on the Rio Grande. I lost my kayak and about got killed but such fun!!

This one has fishing pole holders I like that.

That's a good woman. How heavy is it? Is it small enough to put on top of your car / in the pickup bed or do you need a trailer?

It fits perfect on top of my Chevy HHR with straps. That's how i took my other kayak. She felt bad i wrecked it in the rocks and almost died. It was literally wrapped around a rock people told me it was folded in half :-) That's when i knew i was fucked hanging onto the kayak but i couldn't get it to budge so I said to myself "I can always get a new kayak but i can't buy me a new me" Then i let go and the current thrust me down the river and i was like a human pinball.

Can't wait to get back out on the water again :-)

I picked up a couple of those fishing kayaks if you years ago for my son and I. Built a rack in the garage so they are easy to get to and load and unload out of the truck. They are awesome. You can get to places you can’t otherwise get to and that a lot of bigger boats are unable to get to. We use them on a lot a little lakes around Kansas City

I’ve had my kayak for years now. At this point I’ve got all sorts of great attachments like a fish finder, anchor, etc. I still just have a sedan but using the inflatable roof rack works great. There are newer options out now as well. At this point there is really no barrier to having one.

Basically a fishing kayak is the cheapest and easiest way to get in a boat on the water. As long as you have room to store it I’d really recommend any longtime fisherman or a person just getting into it to get one.

Get a small fish finder and put on that .... Looks nice

Hey KC, you got any pics of this chick?

You know what I got me a new chick I love that I've been going out with since November and she is way better looking and I'm much happier and she is another nurse but she has the cutest dimples ever! I liked the other one but wasn't in like with her and I love this one and I'm I'm going be moving to eastern Kansas because we are both transferring to Osawatomie . Yes the other one bought me a Kayak but i think that was out of desperation because i told her I found someone else and i was going go out with . Well I love this chick and going move to Fort Scott where she has a home and all i have to do is help with some bills and I'm gold to go fishing all i want and switching jobs out there my work schedule will give me more time to fish and do "honey do list" but she also is a Royals fan and goes to Royals games so I'm hooked up to go to Royals games so those Hone do list will just have to get done I'll be good for her because I know she is good for me. :-)

I've never fallen in love before like this I've been a bachelor for ten years I don't know what i'm doing but it feels right !

She could be the best catch i've ever had so I'm not going let her go .

Wait, all you have to do to get a new kayak is threaten to dump some broad? Dude, I need to try this ASAP!
