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]
It's Autumn here in Iowa and the Smallies are on!
It's so nice just to go down to the river 3 blocks away with my fly rod and get action. Water levels are so low that it is easy to target where they are going to be holding. I love fishing for Trout but in my opinion Smallies fight much harder.
Each on of these fish went aerial.
Always a good time.
That’s living loochy!
Did you feast?
I have only gotten to go offshore deep sea fishing a couple times, but the real enjoyment was having a fish you caught nicely prepared and consumed. [Reply]

Well the BAIT is that that deep
It's only a few feet under the surface, but the fish come up. They trolled it about 25 to 50 yards behind the boat [Reply]
