GoneFishin

Any one try fly fishing for them? I did good with a float last weekend then went back with my fly rod and some top water flies. WOW I couldn't keep them off it, don't know if I'll ever float fish for crappie again lol.

Lmao!!! I've been thinking about all of that and more the last couple weeks.... I just want to fish!! lol.....

Didn't he say he was going to be gone for a couple weeks or something? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else?

I just wish I had a casting outfit on me lol. They would have lost a couple lures lol....

I finally got out today for some and we had constant action the whole time. Got a couple nice ones. Was an awesome day day, except for all the crap hawks! ie. people in boats moving in on your spot 10 feet from where you are fishing after seeing you catch fish!!!.... give me a break!!..

I would have gotten out of the car with my gun drawn. If the dog thought it was playing then it wouldn't have attacked. If it did then it's an aggressive dog and needs to be put down.. There's no way I'd be going back to the station and explaining to my super/co-workers that a dog ripped off my front bumper!

These have to be the most interesting birds I've ever seen! A little confused but still interesting lmao. http://www.break.com/index/lyrebird-imitat...ction-work.html

Lmao, listen to that barbie scream! That's one dam smooth drag haha.

I'm going to have to fight this one out haha. Just because every time I talk to either one of my uncles about musky fishing they start going on about a 48" Musky one of my uncles caught out of scugog on a size 2 mepps black furry using a 6 foot ultra light with 4 pound line. They also said they took out another very small spinner from it's mouth after they finally landed it. It took them almost a half hour to coax it in but apparently it swam away. That was probably about 20 years ago now, and I still hear about it 10 times a year lol.

Solo if those were snap swivels I would be all over them lol. Still might pick up a pack of them. I do like the thought of being able to splice lines together any where on your spool without knots but I don't seem to have much of a problem with that using braid

Do they even have good deals at the sportsman show? You would think, with the stores having to pay the fee for them to be there, transporting gear and using extra staff that every thing would cost more then at your local fishing store. I'm thinking about going just to check it out. Haven't been in about 5 years now..

That's a good tip Terry. What kind of rod are you using? If your trying to cast light baits with a stiff rod that might be your problem. I think it would be easiest learning on a medium fast setup but it all depends on how your fishing..

It's a love hate thing for me I always end up picking up so much stuff that by time I find what I actualy went there for I don't have enough money to buy it

Do they have a website? I'm not so worried about being partnered up with a pro, I would just like to get into the tourney scene. Can any one tell me how often these clubs have events and how long and what day of the week they are usually on?

Does anyone here still actualy fish? Lol I would say some of the lastest techinics in every bass aglers arsenal would be braided line florocarbon leaders, berkley gulp minnows, senkos, and drop shotting. That's some of the basic stuff that I would say could be a must have. All of it's rather cheap to so you might be able to afford it after you get your radios, gps, fishders, and other gagets you need lol.

Don't hold out on us!! I want some bacon turtle Lol that is one of the weirdest meals I've ever seen and would eat haha.

He had a good idea taking people out ice fishing. If he told every one where to fish I'm pretty sure he wouldn't get any business lol... Hell if I had a ride up there and I knew where they were catching all these pickerel, my hut would be right up beside his.. well beside everyone else that decided to come out and leech off of his successes. With a little bit of work any of you guys could have been doing the same thing he is, give him a break! A lot of fishing forums have strict rules against posting locations and pictures with a back ground. There must be a reason for that, wouldn't you think?......... If you want to know where the fish are with out the leg work, you better start making friends outside of the board.. lol

First time I heard of it I thought it was a joke lol. But it actually worked quite well for tying scud flies. The bubble worm sounds like a good idea, I might try tying up a couple. I wonder if fish like tropical flavoring??

You guys are pathetic, if he posted his spot you guys would probably be there in a heart beat seeing as you got nothing better to do. Go do some cross word puzzles old man. Leave the fishing for us inexperienced noobs.

She's probably not looking at it from a personal perspective. A percentage of your fish are most likely harmed from either the hook or the fight/handling. But most fishermen can use there judgment and keep a harmed fish instead of wasting it.

HEYYYY come on now guys!! I showed him this spot and """"" I """"" asked him not to post the location on the web. He's being a good guy and not going against my wishes I didn't want every one to know about this spot because there would be 200 people there every day no doubt, even though were just fishing for snot rockets.. LOL! Give him a break, the only reason you guys don't care is because you have the opportunity to fish different areas all the time!

I'm pretty sure it's more about what hand you crank with. Use your dominate arm to cast with. If you cast with your left hand then you need a right handed reel so your not switching arms all the time. Do you crank with your right arm also? Cause it would make sence for you to swith hands, but I guess not every one can use both hands I guess..

It's all about preference and style I guess. If you want to get the most out of your baitcaster then you need to be using a reel that corresponds with the hand you cast with. If you crank with you right hand then your going to have to cast with your left arm if you want to be able to use your reel to it's fullest. If you can't do that then you need to switch cranking arms. You can tell me until your blue in the face that it isn't a big deal to have to switch hands after casting. But when it comes down to it, you won't be able to cast as quickly and probably not as accurately, you won't be able to pick up your line as fast and good luck flipping and pitching all day haha. I still crank with my right hand when I use a spinning set up, but I will never use a right handed baitcast reel. Only took a couple outing's for it to start to feel comfortable, and I'm very glad I decided to switch because it even makes my time on the water a lot more enjoyable.

Spinning you can get away with retrieving with your right hand, baitcaster not so much.. Bass pro most likely only has right handed reels because they are all sold out of left hand reel lol.

Agreed. I've thrown away a few smokes on slow days. Every time you light that smoke BAM
