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 swear up and down I caught a cross between a trout and a smallmouth today. The pic doesn't do justice as to how much this looked and felt like a trout and how small the dorsal fin was.

Went camping at Horsethief Reservoir this weekend. It's a new lake north of Dodge City along the Buckner Creek that opened up last year. The fishing is already great.

Yeah, nice size out of a new lake, how long ago did they first stock it?
Been trying to get serious about my fishing the last few weeks, but it never fails that when i have the time either a cold fronts blowing in or its raining like hell. For every nice day this spring & early summer we've had three days of dogshit. [Reply]
They first stocked it in 2009. They stocked a bunch of fingerling walleye as well and we've started catching some this summer that are about 14" long. Another year and they'll be perfect. [Reply]

Right on, thanx for the contribution Wyatt. [Reply]
Caught this nice Largemouth on Wednesday on the Elk river, 18.5 inches and around 3lbs. The mess of Bluegill, Black Perch, and that lone Goggle Eye made for a nice bag of fillets. [Reply]
Headed to the river Tuesday night. Got the bachelor party fishing float on Wednesday and hopefully a kick ass fish fry that night. Getting married on Saturday and then off to Costa Rica on the 4th. Should have some nice fishing picks (among many others) from both those outings. [Reply]
