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 saw alot of guys fishing down there when we were there, but we didn't fish over there. Usually, if they are hot down there, it's another week or two before they really heat up on the lake. It'll be mothers day weekend before its booming in the KC area lakes [Reply]

Oh he was. He snapped a stick in two when I got close enough to cut my line. ****ing asshole mother ****ing douchbag turtle. Turtle soup is what he is going be next weekend. [Reply]
The water level is down and these turtles are running a muck out there.
They piss me off because they ruin good fishing or eat your fish you catch or take it away from the fish your trying to catch. fucking assholes. [Reply]

Lol.. I actually broke my sons fishing pole whacking that sumofabitch. Now I got to buy my son a new pole and later at the spot I went too close to dark I kept pulling sticks or logs and I ended up snapping my tip on my own pole. It was late and tired. I went home.

One tasty fish to show for the day.
Man, I've only caught two eaters so far this year. This time last year, I had several catfish in the freezer. My bait man had goldfish this week so I even started using them and didn't catch a catfish. The Missouri River hasn't been up much this year. Wonder if that makes a difference [Reply]
