The Fishing Thread (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=223680)

Can someone tell me why these bastards keep shaking my ****in hook?
Yes, I set the damn thing.
Do I need to bend them in or some shit?
I shouldnt be missing this many fish.

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.

I didn't catch shit this am.
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.

sucker jumped like a freakin marlin and I panicked......and my drag was too tight.

That sounds like a monstrous thrill.

In late may Ill throw hollow frogs, jitterbugs, even go old school with hulla poppers. Late afternoon/evening the big fish get aggressive post spawn. Right now water is still pretty cold so very slow plastic crawdads carolina rigged work well.

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.

No shit, my brother in law and I always talk about the fishing down there...sounds amazing. I'd love to get into the tarpon alone.

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 :thumb:

Hitting Lake Texoma on Friday with my family. Have a guided striper/catfish trip planned. I haven't caught a catfish in 10+ years.

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 **** 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?
