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]

This is the blue i caught on the 8th my first night and i caught another channel just as big but then and I caught several my first night then it was like someone turned off the lights the rest of the week and I couldn't catch a damn thing except a couple I think that broke my lines when I got them close enough to grab FUCK.
I did enjoy my time at the lake got my legs scratched up on rocks foolish me I shouldn't go to the lake unsupervised because I waded out in the water and tried going around cliffs and I knew better but did it anyways. Rocks are unforgiving. [Reply]

Nice, that’s a perfect eater size right there my man!
Until I worked at Lake of the Ozarks this spring, I had no idea that MO had scorpions AND armadillos… thought they were a southwest thing, guess not [Reply]

Those cock sucking mother fuckers did same here and cost me a new radiator in my Tahoe I thought I had clearance but those fuckers jump and caused me my antifreeze to leak out I hope the next armadillo licked up that antifreeze and died.
They eat bugs from road kill and become road kill so they become a real nuisance. [Reply]
