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?

Right on, man!!! Will follow this advice for sure!!!

That is one smart goldfish to continually avoid the blue herons. Not an easy feat for such a bright fish.

Dude that is freaking crazy! I heard those things are ridiculously difficult to catch. At one of my local reservoirs there are a bunch of asians always trying to catch those. I have a customer who I found out is one of those asian's and he said they are extremely difficult to catch.

Shit there are some huge goldfish like that up against the farm most days.

Not lately though, it's blowing everything close down the river.

I see the headlines about monster goldfish caught around the nation here and there... sure haven’t seen anything like it around here

Is it a combination of people flushing them down the toilet, and live bait that got loose or what?

:-) DUDE... guess what happened?! I did that!!! My girls caught a couple dandies...and I caught a mystery fish that everyone is having a debate on Facebook about what it is!!! The general consensus seems to be trout or state record creek chub... this was caught in Southeast Iowa on the Mississippi... we don’t get trout here!! And on a goldfish!!! :-)

That looks like a brown trout to me. The tail seems to have maintained the more traditional brown color making me think that.

It’s got everyone baffled on Facebook because you seriously never hear of anyone ever catching a trout on SE Iowa.

I have SE Iowa’s fishing scene pegged btw... probably the most underrated fishing region that I know of.

That would definitely be one helluva creek chub if true

I had no idea SE Iowa was such a fishing Nirvana

Skin like a catfish... not as slippery, though.
