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]
Goddammit I'm ready to go fishing but finally going Tuesday to the lake. This is the longest I've ever gone without going fishing and it bumbs me out. [Reply]
He's taking me into deep water, but he doesn't know I already have his home and work address. I'm letting the line run to buy some time until he plays out and slips up by letting me know he's away from home. It won't be long and I'll be setting the drag with some live snapper action and ripping his ass back to the surface during the fishing trip he told me about. My boys are on the net and have the gaff in hand. It's just a matter of time before we land this whale. [Reply]

I'm about 4 days away from finishing a remodel I've been working on for a year and then it's a solid 30 days in my boat .I'm so needing to gooooooo. [Reply]
It's rained too damn much around here. Been almost impossible to find the time to go on a day when it's not raining. Even if I could, my favorite rivers and creeks are too damn high. AAAaaauuuurrrrgggghhhh!:-) [Reply]

Spring has been a joke for over a decade now, there is no spring anymore...
We lurch from pure winter into a cold and rainy late winter that is supposed to be spring that drags on and on, then finally snaps directly into sweltering 90+ degree summer days sometime in June [Reply]
