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]
Bugs pulled the Gar in a couple weeks back & photo shopped Peytons forehead to it. It's funny ass hell.
I was shocked to see a Flathead still in spawn, this late in the year. she was 90 minute fight on 6 lbs line. We had to pull anchor & drive to her,to get her in the boat. current was just to strong there [Reply]
ya Bugeater reeled in the Gar. ya 6 pound line & a lot of drag, it was either pull anchor or run out of line. I dnt think he ever got Miss Flaty any closer then 25-30 yards from the boat [Reply]
So I was out to do some night fishing down by the river & I was getting settled in just fine then all of a sudden these things came down from the sky on to the ground where my flash light was shining. At first I didn't know what to think of them thought some kind of space bug or space bird. So I bobbed em on the head with a big stick.
Welp it wasn't a space bug or killer space bird but it was a bat. It could have been a space bat? I'm not an expert on them.
Anyways I used him for bait but ended up leaving because of lightning and storm looked like it was coming my way so I got out of there.

No no no no not at all.
I just don't like being attacked by space creatures at the lake. Until I could identify it as a bat I thought that species was going make a meal out of my dog & I couldn't have that. [Reply]

Just in time I got home and down pouring rain.
Spoiler!
Bats were landing around you?
Yeah, that'd probably be enough to make me pack up. [Reply]

Anyone else out there still drowning worms? I'm going tomorrow afternoon, haven't been fishing for a while and its time. Gonna take some firewood, a pack of hotdogs and stay a while. [Reply]
