Post you're tackle bags! Still using an old school tackle box? It might be time for a change. It is 2011+5 after all. Backpacks with flat Plano boxes are also acceptable.

I remember reading the Maine law on it, and I think common split shots were one of the worst for the birds so you have to buy steel ones.

And some places they aren't banned from the whole state but certain bodies of water ban them. Dumbass loons.

I got an older Shakespeare 16.5 foot wonderpole given to me. It makes bluegill and sunfish almost too easy. That channel cat I hooked with it was like picking up a brick though. Anyone using jigging poles?

I've never really understood the long long long pole thing. Jigging really is about all you can do well with them of course. Every other use can be done using a normal rod.

I had one years ago that worked really well for crappie. You could drop a jig through tangled branches where you'd never reach otherwise.

I rig this pole with a bobber, weight, and hook and catch little bluegill to use as cut bait. Almost too easy when you can see them through the water.

Can I get some advice for hook setting a bass?

I'm using a Texas rigged 5" senko on a 3/0 J hook - 10lb braid
Bass having been inhaling the whole thing in one motion, so the first time I feel something, it's already in their mouths.

>If I set the hook immediately, it seems to come flying out of their mouths and I lose them.
>If I pause a moment before setting the hook, they will be gut hooked.

How the hell does this seemingly simple thing work? I always pull hard to a 2 o'clock position but I just can not get a good hookset.

Would fishing closer be helpful? Maybe I'm casting too far away.

I squeeze the bass until the eggs pop out and just jerk off all over the pile of eggs. Kinda messy.

Ehh, just timing then. Avoid casting with a cross-wind, it will be easier to feel bites and set the hook in a timely manner. Otherwise get on dat braid, you will be able to feel the bites even easier ;^)

I was still trying to find a pic of the River Rigs just like we used to use. It was similar to those 3-way rigs, but had 2-3 hooks and would have Lindy Rig type shit with spinner blades and beads. I was talking to my old neighbor who ran those and he just called em "River Rigs".

Guy from last thread. I went out to specifically catch eels to test them out.

Ok, ran a heavier setup on a 20 lbs test backed by a 45 lber using (i'm not a proper fisherman by any means) #8 treble hooks in hopes of actually hooking an eel and not having him let go of my bait as soon as he gets above water. a 1.5 ft eel, again, versus a medium-small croaker, hit way harder. Bait used was squid otherwise eel absolutely DESTROY shrimp, I've learned. Squid has the right toughness, and eels do kiddy bites on it before you hook, then they go absolutely batshit.

I think these motherfuckers do what snakes do. I observed one of the dock before i through him back. He put himself into an "S" and this, of course, would cause spring force to be used like a snake pouncing would, but instead they probably use it to attack prey or get the hell out of dodge. With increased propulsion underwater, of course.

Is this a valid theory? Anyone here that catch em often have any input? I have no idea why i'm obsessed with this. It's starting to make me think eels are the superior species of fish for some odd reason.

It essentially mimics the eye when you're using bait. Honestly beaded hooks are GOAT. I spent 2 hours one day with no bite. Switched to a beaded hii-lo hook set and have been killing it ever since.

Gonna post my fishing adventure day 2:

Second trip is out on duke island park/raritan river.
I hunted some spots on google maps, two sandbars east and west.
Made the mistake of going to the east one first, where the water was very shallow. I should have brought waders,
but I thought the water would be deeper.

It was deeper on the west part i scoped out, by a small dam. Only problem was that there were already two guys fishing there, and I decided to go to a little spot ontop of the dam where I caught some sunnies.

Once it's getting late and tired of the tight spot im in, i go back to the bottom of the dam to see if one of those guys left, but they're still fishing. I know how rude it is to fish next to another guy, but these guys dont seem to mind each other at least. I go down as far as possible on the rocky sand back and start to cast in a nice sized depression in the river. I would have rather fished right into the dam's bottom pool, and in the spot i was in only caught sunnies again (also a minnow)

A problem I noticed was how bad I am at tying knots, and realized that I lost a nice hook and one of my soft plastics because of the knot I made.

You don't have to do the bead. But if you want to, I grabbed a pack of assorted colored small glass beads from Walmart in the craft section for like $2.

I have a 5' Ugly Stik with a Shimano Sienna 500. I think I would do a 1000 next time because the 500 is so small it just doesn't feel natural. I would really like to try one of those 7'+ UL rods. The 5' is fine for flicking light stuff under trees and along the shore but a 7'3" could be fun. A couple anons have some Okuma rod like that and it's supposed to be gud.

Bead is pre-rigged on the ones I buy but you could run line though the bead before you tie the hook. They do 'float/slip' up and down the line so no need to tie it in place.

I just found out my favorite new fishing spot isn't on county property, it's privately owned. I've been going there for weeks. I clean up trash others have left and there's been a lot of it. Looks like there's a LOT of others that fish there and they probably don't have permission either. I guess I'll just keep going until I get asked to leave? There's no signs, no fence, just a well used lane to the pond right off the public road. No houses in sight. What would anon do?

sort of depends i guess. Id contact the owner and ask if you can fish there, while stating you dont mean to do anything shitty and have good fishing manners. State you cleaned up after previous fishermen that used the site.

But really in this case ill just keep going there; no signs or anything means it's probably easy to say "oh i didnt know this was private" How did you find out it was private anyways?

Tax maps online. I was using the system to find new ponds, making a list, and plan to occasionally stop by new places to ask for permission. Fingers crossed, with one exception the lakes in my area are all overfished. LOTS of ponds on private property. I figure the worst they can say is no.

Well, except that one time a guy blocked the only road out and put a shotgun in my face.

to share a trespassing story, there's this quarry on the other side a a park i go to. like 50 yards off the trail you just need to climb up a steep hill and there's you are sitting on the top of the edge of the quarry.

I did this about twice until bringing a friend, and that time a truck comes riding up and a dude tells us the obvious problem and how dangerous it is if a blast goes off.

He said he had cops alerted and had them ready at the parking spot, pointing in the wrong direction (the wrong one and one of the three) Basically, this guy did this crap before and knew how to make sure no one came back without dealing with any actual law.

Once we said we're just from the nature trail from the park and that we didnt see any signs, he just let us go and white privilege saved the day.

The guy was obviously a meth head. Probably just a matter of time before he was busted. Just checked the public records and it says he was sentenced on precursors so I figure he was taking anhydrous since he's in the middle of corn fields.

He certainly put the truck there to block us. He was waiting at the door with a gun and there was no reasonable way around his truck unless you were driving a vehicle like we were.

Is there a way, other than eyeballing it and guessing, to measure/remotely estimate the depth of a body of water without a boat? I've been fishing this pond that seems to be bottomless and most ponds in my area of the same size aren't over 20 feet deep at the most. I can cast a large sinker out to the middle (125ish feet out) and the line just keeps dropping and dropping and dropping until it's at about a 60 degree angle. You can feel the edge reeling up and it's STEEP. I wonder what lunkers are down there!!!

It would be cool to have a fishfinder that was possible to use from shore. Not so much to find the fish, but to see what the structure is likes. Or have topographic maps with vegetation for every little lake.

A lot of lakes around me are the ones I always bitch about where they are real clear, it is 2' deep and weedy until you get ~10' from shore, and then it drops off really deep. It is so difficult to find good fishing spots in these things.

How do you even feel them at that point? They never take the bait too hard and their bodies are small enough to not get a proper hook in when hooking.

I want to catch a fuckhuge eel now and experience a crazy fucking fight. I've only gone bass fishing twice, and I was told they hit like trucks, but I've had more issue with pike of similar size.

If I could catch a 15-20 lbs eel on medium-light tackle, it'd be one of the best fights of my short fishing career.

Hell, i caught a 1 foot bonnethead and I was told hammerhead type sharks have great fights yet I was disappointed in the lil fella.Rays don't even feel like they want to live. There's just something I love about the unorthodox tug these slimy gross fucks pull on me. It's just straight up FUN.

Boat mounted fish finders are almost an essential for some species. I most wade but when I take my boat out its for stripers and catfish. Finding suspended stripers without a fish finder is extremely inefficient and good luck guessing what the bottom is like in 80ft of water.

I catch bigger fish more often with my fish finder and, as a bonus, I've now got most of my local water body bottoms mapped out and saved on my computer.

I think it is more of a time of day thing. You know where they are going to be by what time it is. Like for catfish you wait in the shallows for them to come in and hunt other fish. They do that 5pm to 5am and have about 3 times when they are their most active then. Striped bass are the same. If you want the monsters, start fishing at night in 10 feet or less water using an eel as bait. They will be upwards of 5 feet long.

>>819083
In freshwater around here, gar can fuck up your line. Snakeheads can have some teeth too but normally not nearly as bad as the gar.

Flourocarbon leaders can be good on braid main line if the fish are really line shy. And if you are casting heavy weight on braid or going for heavy fish, a mono shock leader will help create a bungee effect so there isn't so much stress on the line.

If fishing saltwater (besides toothy fish) a flourocarbon or wire leadercan be useful around sharp rocks or coral.

Well, you have steel for any big lures in case of pike, and usually people use a fluorocarbon leader cause its less visible if they use a braided main line for perch.

stuff like roach bream tench etc people usually use a "leader" thats a bit weaker than the main line so in case it breaks you dont lose too much line and the fish also doesnt carry like 20m of line with him.

for carp you have leadcore as a leader so the line near the rig is flat on the ground and camouflaged.

Here's a couple of pike eels I caught in QLD, Australia. The brag mat is in cm, biggest eel was about 135cm (almost 4.5'). These were caught on light shark gear (40lb) so didn't put up a huge fight. Biggest one I've caught was just under 2m long and weighed 11kg, I don't have a picture of it unfortunately. They make fantastic shark bait (as do all species of eel).

I have a bit of a soft spot for eels as well, especially the freshwater ones. Some of them travel more than 10000km from where they're born in the open ocean. I'll see if I've got anymore eel pics on my old SD cards that I'll post up.

I've noticed you often place fish on the ground while taking a picture - do you release these fish? Putting them on the ground knocks off their protective slime cover, making the fish vulnerable to infection.

If you're keeping/eating the fish, then nevermind.

It's really not that big of a deal with bass compared to something like trout. Obviously, if you can, you should try to keep as much of the slime coat intact, but I don't worry about it too much.

You say this only to justify your need for gratification of taking/posting a picture.

I fish alone most times. I don't give a fuck about taking a picture. I certainly don't need someone on the internet saying "nice fish". I unhook anything I''m not keeping and get it back in the water.

This is true. Not like I'm sliding them up and down through the grass and purposely trying to wipe the shit off. Or scraping them on hot cement. I lay em in the grass for 10sec, take a pic, unhook them, and let them go. People here read into shit too much. Grass is pretty soft. If these bass can go running through it trying to chase food, I'm sure they will be ok laying on it for a few seconds.

>>819229
You also don't go fishing much at all. Just hang around here and complain about everything. Have another picture.

having your hand physically on a fish hundreds of times would give you a pretty good sense of what variability there is when it comes to a fishes slime layer. If you wernt a retard you would understand that bass are constantly brushing up against things in the water resulting in them having very little slime layer. If you catch a fish like a pike or a trout you obviously must take more care to not put them down or get them mis-handle them

Laying them on the ground may not be a huge problem but it certainly is not good for them either. You can not argue against this.

If you can skip doing something that is not good for fish, then you should do so.

When you see a snek IRL, the shape of their head is the easiest to tell. You don't even have to look at the anal fin. The flat head and rock hard skull says it all across all species of sneks.

Bullseyes also have those distinct black and white diamond shaped things down the side. And the Gaint Snakeheads are black, white, and orange or some crazy colors.

ugh if i keep a fish out of water for a minute i start feeling guilty as fuck, i try to get them back in water asap if i'm not keeping them.

had a bass get badly hooked on a 1/0 hook recently so after i pulled it out of water to show off, i put it back in the water while still on hook while someone went to go get needle nose pliers.

fish gets to live and have another sporting chance to remove hook until i can do so, and i stay busy making sure it doesn't go into the weeds which is fun in and of itself.

if i saw people keeping the fish out of water that long i would go help them out, starting with putting the fish back in the water for a minute or so.

idk why this bothers me so much as i normally don't give a fuck about animals. must be the respect for the sport since i don't eat much fish.

Bullshit. More than a minute out of the water and they are feeling it. I know you do the right thing and get them back ASAP, but don't spout crap like this because you'll encourage noobs to keep bass out of the water for 20 minutes. 20 fucking minutes, you have to got to be trolling.

caught a wolf fish today. fought like a motherfucker until the end.
got a little scared when i saw it, wondered what the fuck i pulled up from the deep.
tried poking it with pic related to see if they really can bite off fingers before trying to unhook it. it was still in attack mode and charged at it biting and twisting.
worthy opponent, would have let it go if i had a way to unhook it.

yeah, was expecting a halibut or maybe a pollock by the way it fought. actually got a little scared when i pulled it into the boat and it was wiggling for 5 minutes while i tried to figure out how to unhook it.
overall a good experience if you like fish with a little fight in them.
not the biggest, i'd say medium sized fish based on what i usually catch, medium small. didn't get the weight because i like having fingers and i forgot the scale at home.
here it is beheaded and gutted. gonna eat it tomorrow, hear its really good.

What is the prettiest fish species where you live?

Where I live, small Longear Sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) are the flashiest. Some of them look like red jewels with bits of yellow and streaks of blue lighting and blue speckles. I used to keep some in an aquarium. They did really well and never lost their color.

I caught a few today and a handful of hybrid sunfish. (pics related)

Maybe it was something else I was reading on. Those areas have the rainy seasons though where fish have huge territories and then shrink down to nothing for a few months and the fish gotta adapt. I guess adult sneks don't even really travel on land. The lungs help them survive in little stagnant puddles for a long time.

Any pickerel fisherman out there? My cousin snorkels in the lake a lot looking for millfoil and says all he sees is huge pickerel swimming around, and i got a huge one earlier on a soft crayfish. the state record is 26 inches and i think i can get a bigger one from this lake. so any recommendations? Ive been thinking a krocodile spoon with curly tail on it, like a mini musky lure.

All are nice fish. I've only fished in freshwater all my life. I'm like 600ish miles from the nearest saltwater. I bet it'd be like being a kid again, when never knowing what is on the end of the line when you catch something. I miss that thrill.

>How'd I not see this post?

I have a couple of ultra light poles-reel combos.

1: Shakespeare Microspin WMSP46-1UL 4' 6" Ultra Light (same wording on spinning reel)
2: Shimano AX-2500 Super Ultra Light 5' (AXUL-S spinning reel)

I don't use fishing line on these. I use "Coats Nylon Transparent Thread." (Invisible thread for sewing machines.) It simply casts forever and ever. A single unbaited hook can cast something like 20+ feet. It costs under $3 for 300 yards. The down side is that you you need sharp eyes to see the line.

The largest thing I've landed on that was a 12 inch bass, not much weight, and it even got tangled in some sticks. I thought for sure I'd lose it, but I got it unwrapped and in hand. I'm had small bluegill/sunfish snap this stuff instantly. So, you have to really play it and have very sharp hooks so the set can be soft.

It is the ultimate for catching bait fish; chubs, shiners, panfish. #1 rod-reel above is what I was using in >>819672

lol What are they doing with them? Be careful with reviews for anything you may want to buy for a few reasons. I used to write reviews for stuff I bought, until I saw my reviews being used for other stuff on other websites and on the same website for other products. They'd just switch the names around. Also, you have to figure out if it was product failure or user error.

Nah, this is the other dude who has actually gone out with me a few times. The lake I want to check out is kinda near his place so I can just scoop him if he isn't doin shit.

The other dude you mentioned, every time I see him at work he's like "bruh, just got my fishing license!" and I actually shot him a text last weekend when I was kinda in his area but I just told these dudes if they actually want to go, just hit me up since I will be out there anyway.

Gotta get out there at 6am instead...

I seem to have better luck at dusk than dawn though. Lots of people love early AM fishing and I like being at the lake for sunrise too but sunset seems to produce more.

I'm still salty about the shit luck I had the other day at my big bass lake. I don't go there a ton, but that was the most action I have ever gotten there. And I lost so many goddamn fish because of trying to fish Texas rigs in the wind.

How does wind affect fish-on? Was it making the line all bowed out into the wind and you couldn't set the hook fast enough because of that? I've had that happen a few time, it makes for too much slack and you can't just reel in faster as that ruins presentation.

I'm down for fishing when it is rainy, but the lighting is what you really gotta watch out for. Especially if you are on a boat.

My one big bass lake sketches me out when there is lightning because there are no trees anywhere near this lake. It is flat grass for like 100yds in any direction. Add on top of that how unpredictable the storms are here and that is an easy way to get killed.

I've seen you blame other shit so much, if you think the wind is making it so that you can't set the hook on fish you need to become a better fisherman instead of throwing a hissy fit because you aren't skilled enough.

Welcome back salty anon. Nice trips.

But I do need more experience with the Texas rigged shit. I really only started fishing them a lot maybe 6mos ago. I would rather lose the fish tho than wait too long and gut hook them. And the problem with that lake is the shape and orientation of it when the wind is coming straight out of the east. I come in by the west shore, and it would be a super long walk to get to the east shore. Casting straight into the wind isn't too bad with the Texas rigs but the west shoreline is only like 50yds long and I normally have to go pretty deep for the nice bass.

I'm probably closer to salt than that. The intercoastal is only a few blocks away from my house. I need to get up early and do it though. I was thinkin about driving past the inlet on my way home just to see how crowded it is. But I don't even have my MH President on me, lots of lighter stuff right now.

I'll probably just head home and chill. They aren't biting for shit. I should've tried to get out earlier today either before the storms or between them. Plus this lake and that canal with the sneks kinda piss me off because I know they are in there but a lot of times they sit in this thick cover and I just end up spooking them before they will hit a lure.

Go for it. Just get out there at dawn or dusk. The air temp will definitely affect water temp, especially if it is sunny. But it takes a little time for the water to really warm up if it has only been hot for a day or two. Rain can cool it down sometimes too if you get enough. But summer river temps will be warmer than spring and fall temps.

Down here it is like warm swimming pool temps so the largemouth bass really slow down for a good portion of the year. A lot of northern fish would never tolerate it. I'm sure that's why we don't have pike, walleye, smallmouths, and shit like that. The range of native freshwater species is pretty small.

Yeah I like the subtlety of the chartreuse tail. I almost like them more than the chartreuse pepper, but not quite.

I tied one on because the pond at work has pretty clear water and I thought chartreuse might be a little too bright. But I got hungry and then just stopped at the lake by my house instead on the way home.

It's like you haven't fished much.

Too heavy a weight on the Texas rigs and you absolutely kill the action. If it is digging way down in the mud the entire time, not shit is going to bite it. I speak from experience. And if the bottom was perfectly flat and rocky and the baits won't dig into mud and the fish are on the absolute bottom, it would probably take 2oz+ to keep it tight with wind like that.

And the second part, you should ask that anon. Not sure if they normall trip.

If you can't fish in 15-20 mph wind with a 3/8th or smaller bullet weight you need to just stop. 99% of the time on the coast the winds are 15-25 mph and everyone fishes just fine but with minor annoyance.

Also, crosswinds are the easiest winds to fish asides from coming to your back. Dunno why you got so salty at my op, all I said is to get better. Autist.

And I explained earlier why I can't really fish this lake with the wind at my back.

I think you should get out fishing more. I had a 1/2oz bullet on, and it was barely hitting the bottom. This is shore fishing with warm South Florida weather. You have to cast out as far as possible to hit deeper water, which means casting straight out and the wind coming pretty much directly left to right. By the time the 1/2oz weight even hits the bottom with that wind, it's already 20' to the right of where it hit the water. By the time I even get close to pulling the slack out of the line, the bait is off the bottom and drifting again. It makes it more difficult, but not impossible, to set hooks properly. That's just how things work. I didn't leave without catching anything, but had a few that I should've landed if it were eaiser to keep some tension on the line. Can't set a hook with slack line my friend. I think you should get out there a little more so you understand how these things happen.

then he started crying when his dad told him to take them out, i ended up borrowing someones net to get them out of the puddle

i just came back from the dock, didn't even fish. pulled in, heard a bunch of kids screeching and one crying, turned around and left. fuck that, i can wait.
