Other Sports The Fishing Thread - Page 24

**Easy 6** · 02-19-2010, 07:58 PM

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?

Caught some catfish off the river a couple nights ago. Was trying for Walleyes....

Went to my favorite lake last night, it's not ready yet. Didn't get shit. When it warms up it will be rocking again though.

They are active in NJ, they should be hitting by you. Although they tend to like the hour before sunset up here.

They have been catching them but today there was no wind, the lake was like glass, I prefer a little wind when fishing...

I can't go that late during the week, have to take a nap about 1 ish so I can work tonite

I would really like to get into fishing...but I know jack about it. and no boat.

and like Steven Wright says "There's a fine line between fishing, and standing on the shore like an idiot.

Me too. I've got to figure out the best way to catch rainbow trout with artificial bait (no-fly fishing).

Best way to get into fishing is to find someone who likes to fish and learn from them.
