you guys have any experience throwing on the heaviest weight so the bait stays still?

I think that would be the technique called plunking (or bar fishing). I doubt it would be any good around here with bait, but a lure could work. I know there are guys out on the west coast who do both with good results. My thoughts are it would save you the major hassle of standing upstream controlling the bait/lures position. I'm not 100% sure because I've never tried it due to the fact that it would look like just another snagging rig. I wonder if someone here knows more about this...

That's an awesome bow. Looks like it goes into the double digit mark.

They seem to hit just as hard even in rivers. It's possible they are aggressive fish, but they hold back a lot due to their instincts. On that note, I'm pretty confident people can have better days with hardware if there is enough water to cover. I'd say it's an easy way to learn.

Those are some nice fish. Yes, I also think you can catch more fish throwing hardware than floatfishing. When they won't touch bait, a lure to trigger their instincts gets the job done. The bar for floatfishing has been set really high and with mixed results from so many anglers. I'm actually a bit surprised more people don't take advantage of the fish catching potential of lures. There are so many to choose from for steelhead. BTW that spoon seems interesting. Is it glow in the dark?

I guess you can't go wrong with a solo Junior. One that'll catch more fish than a Solo Senior...

If it's for trout then obviously not.

Many of the videos are blocked on my iPod. I think it's to encourage purchasing music.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

True, true. I could start a topic about my pet rock and someone might find it interesting.

WD-40 is a great fish attractant too. I've never used it myself, but my lures sure could for less rust.

It just occurred to me that the fish I lost last year in mid-July at Port Credit was an Atlantic. They seem very aggressive so I would say we might have some good pier fishing in the future. Best of luck with the atlantics.

Nice. Were these the best ones lately or is there more?

I would also agree that encouraging the avoidance of fish like bass just to also avoid the atlantics too isn't very good... Informing more on fish ID seems like a much better option...

I would agree that Atlantic Salmon are increasing. I caught my first one ever this past February on the lower credit. I say we give it more time before jumping to conclusions because by the looks of it the runs have been growing much stronger the past few years.

wow You guys really love this Joey person! All the way from Tennesse?

Maybe if he put the siren on it would have been different.

My GPS does a wonderful job in the wintertime ...... by showing me the way south to where I can fish in open water.

Scared of the ice?

One for every lure!!! They should label them with the lure they're meant for - oh wait, they do.

Gotta have one for drop shot, one for flippin, one for pitchin, one for crankin, even though it won't make a difference...

Screw that! I'm going to a bass tournament with my 20$ rod and reel!

Looks like he's on the right path. Just make sure he doesn't turn into one of those crazy people you see on some of the other forums!

Is it possible your a bit oversenitive to this? On rivers, people drop lines right over where other people are fishing all the time. A couple guys 60 yards in front of you doesn't sound bad at all.

Strange, I've never seen anything like that. Salamander imitation?

Sorry for hurting anyone's feelings, but the whole clean safe power thing is just B.S! Never mind what happened in Japan. The plants leak all the time what's so clean and safe about that?

Beautiful. Awesome scenery and nicely done with the different techniques...

No such thing as a farmed steelhead. I think it costs more to raise them rather than net the wild ones so that could explain the price difference. They say wild is better anyways.

Finally a decent tip-up! Do you make wind tip-ups?

The Bass book they sell at Canadian-Tire and Wal-Mart kicks butt. But I won't lie to you. Your gonna have to cast lures!
