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]
Also, I was planning on heading to Bennett Springs in couple of weeks for some trout fishing. The guy who organizes this trip had something come up so he had to move us out one week. Of course, I have something going on that weekend and can't make it now. :-) [Reply]

She kicks my ass at crappie fishing
Thats a nice size crappie.
Fishing for Crappie is nice in my backyard lake, but I would be lucky to ever see one above 14 inches.
Still, when the Crappies are on, Morels are out and Wild Asparagus is ready, its a great time of year. [Reply]

They are biting good now here, our saying is if the dogwoods are blooming it's time for crappie [Reply]
Here is my boat some of you have seen , I have since added a second GPS + Fish finder, the one on front of the boat is the hockey puck type on the trolling motor
Couple of nice ones with my old boat... Wish I would have kept that boat, I had it set up nice... 15 HP Nissan engine, 14 ft live well and remote controlled Minn Kota.. had a remote the size of a car door opener... cool as hell , no foot pedal needed but it had one of those too
