Nzoner's Game Room>The Fishing Thread
Easy 6 07:58 PM 02-19-2010
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?

Can someone tell me why these bastards keep shaking my fuckin hook?
Yes, I set the damn thing.
Do I need to bend them in or some shit?

I'm almost finished with my fishing invention in Autodesk Inventor.
You know when you see that cool, simple gadget and think, man, I should have thought of that.
Well, I thought of that.
I've already done the research and it doesn't exist, and it is freakin genius.
I'm gonna wait till I get some shit in motion before posting it.
Don't want somebody going China on my idea.
Its a fishing accessory, and a must have for the serious angler.
If I can get it to market everyone in this thread gets one.
Ill post my Autodesk drawings of the rod and reel a little later.
Reel works and everything.
Been Adesk certified for about 7 years now.

Gonna try again after lunch.
Peacock bass are are spawning. I could catch 100 of those bastards if I wanted to get some crickets.
They are freaking everywhere. You would think the big bass would be trying to eat em but I didn't see a single largemouth anywhere.

We got it out on the water Saturday. Ran it for about 2.5 hours breaking the motor in. Checked out the trolling motor, depth finders, live wells, etc. Everything checks out great so far.

I'm posting just so I can get this invention. I got shut out my last time out to the Ozarks but I was just fishing off our dock and the lake was down quite a bit.

Just wanted to show you guys my fishing hole.
I freaking love this place.


And what is really awesome is this is what I pull pull out of here daily.
The average size is Oh, so nice.

If any of you guys are ever is South FL, let me know.
You're more than welcome to come by, play the front 9, catch some bass, drink some cold ones, play the back 9, catch some more bass, drink some more, and then take a dip the pool.

That sounds like a monstrous thrill.

I have a NuCanoe Frontier that is a kick to fish out of.
Seems I've always heard they need something fast and loud to make them strike this early, but I certainly believe there is no one way to catch fish... I'll try some soft plastics worked slow next time out.

Ocean fishing is like the Super Bowl of fishing IMO.

It's part of one of the best stretches of beach in the world IMO. And I would know.
white quarts sand is the BEST.
You can drive the road on the beach a few miles and be all alone on that MFer too if you so choose.
I miss it, I really do. I miss the small town feel, and how you can cruise the beach from Alabama to Destin, Fl Right on the water with minimal congestion.
This shit down here is a ****ing zoo. The population makes it crazy. Luckily the bass are about 20 feet from my back door.
if you do head that way look for a spot in Gulf Breeze. Good neighborhoods in there.
The best fishing is in Orange beach on the FloraBama line, though.
Man, you just sold me on that place so bad.

Thanks for sharing the pics of your favorite honey hole... and oh yeah, count me in for your new fishing device :-)

Knock 'em dead, nothing like being out on the water on a beautiful day.

Hit the lake with a buzz bait today from 6 am to noon, and it was glorious. Watching them roll that top water lure is is a hell of a thrill.

Also went home to TN and caught 16 bass in 2 days. If you put them all together they might equal 3 of what I pull in down here, though.

Tip: Been trying lots of different kinds of line lately.
20lb test spiderwire is by far the best Ive used to this point.
I swear to god if the line is too thick you cant get the action you need for maximum strikes and anything weaker than 15 the big boys will take yo shit back to the deep with em.
The spiderwire seems to be doing great thus far.

Tip 2: When texas rigging a worm through trash. Jig it a little and then just let it sit there.
Im talking like 45 seconds. Jig and repeat. Those big boys need time to think about it sometimes.

Set the fuck out of the hook and then pull them in slowly with the Rod pointed parallel to the ground and the bank and guide them along the bank as you pull them in.

Its fun to watch them jump but you risk them shaking your hook. Ive lost more than I can count in the last few months. This has really cut down on that.

Oh, one more thing.
Used my prototype this morning and regardless of what happens I will never be able to live without it from this point forward. It served great purpose and worked exactly as intended.
Even my woman is impressed with it and my design renderings.

You aren't afraid of gators when fishing from the bank?
