The Fishing Thread

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?

So....now you get to see what the American Dream looks like in progress.
I may remove this photo for privacy issues......but it's just worth sharing now.

By the end of the summer, the bed will be leveled and be topped with a deck.
The minute I saw this truck in a fence row on the back side, I had a vision of fishing with my kids from a deck on the back of this truck. I've already got the materials for the bridge and I've got some other ideas ranging from a fire pit to a solar charged bug zapper. Yes...It's going to be every thing I thought it would be.






In the background, you'll see a dam with a hole it it and a pile of dead trees. When those are burned out, that pond will be repaired, with a 6-8" open pipe hanging into the big pond. I'm going to stock the small pond with crawfish, minnows and sunfish. My hope is that when it rains hard, it will flood food into the main pond.

Have any of you ever constructed "floating structure"?

I've seen a design for something made of pvc and other materials that looks kind of like a palm tree that floats and is controlled for location/depth by nylon rope and a block.

I'm looking at suspending something 4-6' below the waterline in one of the deeper areas.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for or not.

Well, last year I built it. I spent the fall and part of this spring building structure from pvc designs I've seen or developed, cement yard statues, pallets, dirt mounds.......and I'm working on my centerpiece. Not long ago I walked into an area gas station and heard 2 strangers discussing my project as a "monument".

Anyway......I'm posting a few pics of the pond, the structures I've built and maybe the centerpiece, which is a work in progress.

Well....it's coming together, filling with water as I type....and the next chance I get I'll be taking the kids to catch some bluegill to start stocking it.

Freakin awesome mate!!! I would love to be able to something like this sometime, hopefully before I am too old to enjoy it

Whoa, that's some coin there. I looked into building a 2 acre pond and I was quoted almost 18k to dig it.

You would have to visit the Home Depot in a dozen different cities to come up with enough Mexicans to hand dig a 2 acre pond.

I have to admit I just sold all of my fishing gear. I did way too much fishin' and not enough catchin'.

Cheaper to pay $12/lb for Grouper or Mahi.
