Thanks for the tackle advice, but where am I aiming to drop my bait, standing pools or where the current is swift? And I heard getting close to them will spook them, but I dont wanna cast into trees so I got to stay in the water, im guessing just cast farther (and always upstream?)

No go to the fly shop and buy beadhead nymphs
Pheasant tails or hares ears from size 10-16
Rig that under a float bubble so they bounce bottom
Cast at trees and rocks and watch for foam
There are some simple sayings "wood is good, foam is home, rocks rock" etc
Trout are just as likely to be in front of a rock as behind it and will usually be infront of of a tree
Foam indicates the high flow spots where they'll stack up for food
The fronts and tails of pools will hold fish too
As will undercut banks
Trout like water about 2-3 mph so focus in areas about walking speed
Dress to match the surroundings and stay low in clearings or you'll "skyline" (have a clear outline that can spook fish)
Power bait only really works on stocked trout and even then most people I talk to don't like it
If you can, flip over rocks and look for little bugs and stuff under the water and choose the fly that is most similar in size

Even with the water cooling down quite a bit up here in the northeast I still can't catch shit on moving baits. It occurs to me that the bodies of water I like to tend to fish are probably what many would consider pressured, so I guess at least I feel good that I haven't been skunked at all this year. It just sucks having cranks, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, jerkbatis etc and feeling like they are useless.

So is the grass underwater or it comes all the way to the surface? If it comes to the surface, frogs are the way to go. If it is underwater, you could run poppers and other topwater with hooks hanging off. And if it is just grass and not super thick, you might be able to get spinnerbaits through.

Whenever I fish weed beds like that though I always get bigger bass just on the other side of the grass and weeds. I have one spot that is similar with thick weeds and little gaps between and I can always get snakl bass with frogs right over the top of the weeds. Later in the afternoon and at dusk, I will Texas rig a soft bait, put some weight on it, and huck it out past the weeds. If the larger bass are hungry, they will be lurking out on the deeper side waiting for something to slip out of the cover. So I will work them nice and slow right before the weede, then just reel it in quickly over them and cast again so I don't grt all caught up.

Its probably 3-4 inches under water most parts. Some are a little deeper. Pretty much half of the lake is grass patches like this. I did try punching it but I was just pulling out wads of grass every time. I also tried a weightless senko for a bit but it felt like I was just wasting my time so I walked around to some other spots.

Maybe grab some Zoom Horny Toads. Or even the lizards. Rig them weightless or with a real light weight and pull them across the top. I do the Horny Toads with a 4/0 EWG weedless and no weight, cast pretty well on 10lb braid. Otherwise you could even do the lizard with a 1/8oz weight or something light so it won't bury itself down in the grass and run it underwater just on top of the grass. A dark color like Junebug will really get their attention if you run the lizard in the grass because those black and purple colors stand out really well against the green and brown.

Otherwise traditional spinnerbaits. Maybe a Booyah Pond Magic since they are light and you can probably keep it just on top of the grass and spinnerbaits really don't catch up much. How far out does the grass go? Can you cast past it? That's what I would do and just work the bait from the deep water right up to the edge of the grass and then reel it in quick.

A couple more options would be paddle tail or split tail soft shads. Those Storm shads have the one hook on the top and come through weeds well, but they are heavy and might dig in. Otherwise get some Zoom Super Flukes and rig em with a weighted swimbait hook so they will be weedless. Once again with those, a nice dark color would probably stand out well in the grass.

There's a Strike King Swimmin Shad with the weighted swimbait hook. Those could definitely cruise through the grass if you don't want to do topwater.

But I still think you should try and fish past the grass. Bigger bass normally don't hang out in tall, thick grass like that.

It's always in the imgur too, but really doesn't show trebles.

It's not a big deal if you don't use the same size. But like with anything else, too large of a hook and smaller fish can't grab it but too small and it is easier for larger fish to shake it loose.

Just remember, even though 20lb braid and 6lb mono are the same diameter, the mono will probably cast better since it is so smooth. But the 10lb braid will cast better than 6lb mono since it is so much lighter.

There's two different types of body style for those bluegill and sunfish. Pumpkinseeds and regular bluegill have the big round body with a small mouth while green sunfish have the longer body and big mouth.

Those breeds are all over. You will get a lot of cool ones fishing little ponds in the midwest.

Hmm, I never noticed a difference. Like I said in IL we had all sorts of bream and they all lived together for the most part but that was urban lakes. The less pressured spots with big bass, I seemed to get a lot of fat sunfish with smaller mouths.

Never got redears around there though. I think those are found more west, like west of the Mississippi. Or at least everytime somebody posts a redear, it's coming from Kansas or Nebraska.

What you said about the large mouth and pike/muskie reminds me of perch in Wisconsin. You don't catch yellow perch everywhere, but it seems like the places you do get them are known northern pike and muskie spots.

It is better to catch a bucket of bait fish, kill them about 12 hours before you go fishing, cut some up for chumming the water, and use some for cut bait for channel catfishing. You can use a net bag for holding the chum in the water.

Nah I'm sure chumming the area with baitfish will def do better than a regular nightcrawler. I guess I'm saying the doughbait isn't anything special. Dip bait is pretty good, but a dead shiner or half a bluegill might be some of the best for channel cats and a nightcrawler won't fail you either.

Anybody ever try the dough bait for carp? I bought a jar of it a long time ago and it was kinda sweet with a strong anise smell. Didn't do shit for me, white bread balls on a treble was always the best.

The difference between nightcrawlers and chumming with dead baitfish is the difference between catching 4-5 channel catfish and catching 20-30 channel catfish. At least that's been my experience.

Normally dough balls for carp are used in areas where people use old bread to feed carp for fun. It can still work though.

I'm still thinking about it. Fishing kayaks do run like $800+ for anything worthwhile. I think it would be nice for some of the lakes and canals where I can't fish from shore on the whole shoreline because of trees, weeds, or private property.

Only thing is lots of the places I fish are already private property so I can get away with casting from shore for an hour on a Sunday morning but putting a boat in the water might be testing my luck.

Also check out your state laws. One of the reasons a kayak sounds appealing is because there is no registration or anything else that makes owning a boat such a bitch. But Ohio makes you register kayaks and I'm sure there are other states. At that point just buy an aluminum boat with small motor.

Never tried it, but I suppose you can catch em with anything that wiggles or gives off a slight shine. How I understand it, is that summer is worm season and in a couple of weeks when the water gets a little colder you can start bringing out your flies and lures (talking about trout).

Never seen sweet corn fishing, but ill be happy to try it, im going down to my spot in a few hours. How do you recommend I do it?
Just attach a few pieces to a hook like any bait, or do I spread the corn around the water first?

You can bass fish with a bobber and nightcrawler, and you could catch catfish on that same setup if you run the bait a little deeper. All depends on the populations of fish in a given lake and if they are feeding.

Fishing with lures normally requires a bit more technique than just throwing bait out. But in my experience, it is easy to find bass if you know where too look, but they can be picky and won't always bite everything. If you can get a bait near catfish, they will probably eat it. But it is harder to find catfish on the bottom of the lake than looking for a weed bed and fishing for bass on the edge of it.

Yeah but a 1/4oz underspin shouldn't cost 15x as much as a 1/8oz one.

I like running them with curly taik grubs and minnows. The Gulp curly tail minnows are great, but you gotta look in the saltwater section for larger ones.

I wont deny that the price difference is unreasonable but when you actually compare what I saw with the pic you posted it becomes clear why they cost more. The ones you posted are just painted crude lead on a hook. The ones I saw were molded into little fish heads and had more detail to them, not to mention some use tungsten which is always more. I was thinking of running a big zoom super fluke or gambler big ez.. think it would be too much on something like pic related (1/2 ounce)?

They really aren't that cheaply built or anything that would necessitate anywhere near the price difference. Pic related shows the ones with the hammered gold willow blade which is a cool touch. The $6 ones aren't nearly as nice as the one you just posted, they look more similar to the first one but all white and no special "sexy shad" paintjob.

You could run the Super Flukes or Gambler shads. As long as the hook is coming out enough and hopefully towards the middle of the body, you will be straight. Only thing is those baits have the slots cut into them to be weedless rigged so they may not stay on the underspin quite as well. You can find lots of 3"-4" soft bait minnows that will work better on jigheads with the hook coming out of the top, especially in the saltwater section.

I highly recconmend any 3"+ curly tail grubs or those Gulp curly tail minnows and mullets. Saltwater section normally has a few different colors of the Gulp ones from like 3"-5". When I run out of this pack of chartruese ones, I might buy the big jar of them.

Thing is, I fish in a river with running water. Not sure if you go to a pond or something, but stocked trout act very differently to flies than a natural fish. Bait tends to be good, but I don't see the fun in it.
Anyway, when I started to fly fish, I used to get nothing at all. You really have to pay attention to the way the trout are feeding and if at all possible, look into what they might be feeding on. That's the hard part. But I looked online at multiple sources of what's hatching in my area and when they hatch and I go and find a fly or a dozen in its nymph and larval stage. Trout diet is made up largely of what we can't see, not what's flying around. Even if you see trout come to the surface, more than 90% of the time, they're feeding on an emerging nymph or something.
With all that said, I now catch on average 3-5 trout when I go out. On a good day, up to 20, on a bad day, I get bites, but no hooks set. My problem is, the trout I do catch aren't very sizeable. I've heard at night, that's when the big trout come out and troll the shores.

>>867298
And I have a 5 weight. Like I said earlier, I don't go to a pond, or if I do, it's right where a river drains into it. I normalls troll running waters. Bait and boat is good in still water areas/ponds/lakes.

This
I just carry pheasant tails and hares ears size 10-20 then turn over rocks and pick the closest one to what I find stuck to the bottom of it unless something specific is hatching
I need to pick up some stoneflies and green sno-cones
But I diont have trout
It seems to work well enough on suckers though so the theory seems sound

I hate these stupid quick attach weights. If I try to tie a proper knot it will break off when pulled tight and when I use it as intended a feisty 3 pound smallie will send the weight flying.

Around 30€, looks better than any reel I can get locally for that price.

Also has great reviews on Amazon but I'm not sure.

No warranty is a big hit but I never broke a reel in my life.

Yes.

You are making an in-line spinner. You need short pieces of wire to make the body with. The tail uses "hackle" from a rooster's neck feathers and is easy to find online or any place that keeps chickens with a rooster or two. You can use your own wire sourced from whatever place or buy it online from lure making websites. Stainless steel wire is the best and won't rust. You can use needly-nose pliers to bend it or buy a "Du‑Bro Kwik Twist Tool" which is made for that specific purpose. Google youtube videos on how to use that tool. For the wire, google "stainless steel wire lure making." They come in straight, hooked-looped, eyed versions or buy it in bulk rolls from specialty places.

This was a website somebody posted with high quality stuff to make your own inlines

http://www.pen-tac.com/blades.html

But the stuff is really easy to find. And if you want to make dresser hooks, all you need is that little fly fishing bobbin or whatever and some material. Only problem is most places sell the shit in bulk unless you want to end up paying like $7 per lure. One day maybe I will order the stuff because I want to make color combinations that are difficult to find. Mostly with painted blades.

Nail polish isn't cheap. You can get cheap paints by the gallon and save a shitload of money vs using nail polish.

That being said, I use nail polish from time to time simply because I happen to have it for whatever reason. When DIYing on the spot, literally anything can work, but if you want to buy stuff then buy the correct stuff so it will last much longer and come in colors and sparkles you want.

check your local regs before using corn in a lake. a number of lakes dont allow its use. trout cant digest corn. but corn is very effective for catching trout and kokanee. is your lake stocked or are there native trout there?

Otherwise, it really isn't worth the time and effort to do. Of course, you want to mix slowly, to prevent bubbles, and use an ultra clear epoxy, unlike what I did...

Regardless, I'll just be ordering eyes when I need them.

Eat them. That is the sole function they exist in the USA. They literally escaped the Asian cuisine market.

Nah, fish that size seem too small for me to deal with and eat. I have in the past, but not this one.

90% of a trout's diet is under the surface. If nothing's hatching, a dry fly is not as likely to get a strike as a nymph or whatever bug is popular in that water

trout probably eat worms year round

Gulp v. Powerbait? I always use the powerbait craws and deep river flukes and they both work really well. I might pick up a pack of gulp. What should I get?

Just some pretty bass. This largemouth was pretty big for a northern MN fish. Wasn't really expecting anything with size so I was running 6lb mono and a debarbed skitter pop. Just about had a heart attack for each of its 4 jumps.

They're made by the same company. I like gulp but I used powerbait a while ago for the first time and caught quite a few bass on the crawldaddies in the santa fe.

Yes and no. They often get line-shy and ignore poor presentations but they'll still eat whatever the other trout eat.

I'm other words, git gud and you'll be fine.

They're both Berkley. Gulp gets torn up faster but it gives off more scent. They have slightly different designs too. For most Texas rigged stuff, I'll go PowerBait or Zoom or whatever. I really like some of the smaller Gulp baits for jigging and beetle spins. Best advantage to Gulp is that fish will hang on to the bait or strike multiple times which they won't do with hardbaits or not to the same extent as other soft baits.

Overall, depends what you are fishing for but doesn't make a huge difference for bass fishing since they hunt with sight and movement over scent.

Seriously though if you want to try the stuff out for bass, look in the saltwater section of Dick's or wherever you shop for fishing stuff. Grab a bag of the chartruese curly tail mullets. They normally have them in 3", 4", and 5" I think so get whatever size looks right for your lakes. Run them with a jighead, swimbait hook, Texas-rigged, or use them as a trailer on a swimming jig, chatterbait, spinnerbait, etc. You can't go wrong with those things.

Just remember they are kinda disposable after you use them. If you leave them out, they will dry out and shrink up since they are almost like a sponge so they hold the scent.

At least it still has some stripes on the face. The majority of largemouth around here have little to no pattern on them. Just a silver/white belly that fades to dark green and almost black on top.

Have any of you anons tried Microfishing? I was getting skunked today looking for big LMB when I saw a school of sunfish. Switched over to my ultra lite rod with a Sedona1000 reel and size 10 scud hook. Threw it with hunks of worm and no weight, and was pulling in beautiful sunfish/bluegill on basically every cast. Turned what was going to be a 0 fish day into my most productive day of fishing ever. Lost count but it was over 100 fish in 4 hours

not rare. Bass change the color of themselves to match their surroundings. A bass as light as that tells you its been sitting out in open water exposed to the sun for a while. its red eyes are another indicator of that

Rarely. I did it for the first time in forever like a month ago. Wasn't getting shit and I had the 500 in the car so grabbed it with a mini mite and started ripping out a bunch of Mayans and Bluegill from the rocks.

The larger Mayans are really fun to catch even on medium weight stuff, but they are picky with larger baits. They will hit a Mepps #3 or 4" Rapala sometimes but nothing like how they go for the little grubs.

Hahaha, not necessarily. I'd like a to catch a trout that would yield a good sized fillet one day. But in days when I'm not catching more than 10 fish, I'll normally put them back. After so many hits though, I'll start keeping the decent sized ones for fish tacos or something later

Look at the TriggerX Panfish series. There are some good swimbaits there, especially the 1.5inch boot tail minnow. But first, I'd recommend looking into growing your own bait worms. I got into fishing because I was into worms. It is extremely easy and more or less free to maintain a worm population with even just a rudimentary understanding of the process

Thank you all, that is super helpful. Any recommendations for a fur or feather to get me started tieing skirts for treble hooks for both in line spinners and vertical jigs? I live by some dope piers and I want to start using a vertical jig off of them

I like to use a size 20 hook with a single maggot
My set up used to be a size 4 split shot 8 inches over a size 20 hook that I attatched with a Snell knot then for a float I used a pinch-on strike indicator that I split it half (turned one pinch-on into two) and dangled that from a 13 foot telescopic Walmart pole with either 2lb test or 8x tippit material

Stay at janns netcraft and buy a cheap fly vise (no bells or whistles), some fur died to the colour you Want, matching thread, a bobbin, and some threads to match the fur, or black can usually go with anything well enough
You'll also need some good scissors, a whip finish tool, hair stacker, and head cement
It will all total up seemingly high (50+ dollars) but its worth it if you use (read lose) a lot of inline spinners and jigs
Then if you take up fly fishing you're half way to tying your own flies
To make the wire bodies you'll need a pair of wire nips and some round nose needle nose to bend a circular eye and cut wire

I'd also reccomend playing with other materials- tinsel, fabric, Hyde on, Hyde off, marabou, random fabrics, maybe even play with tying on the body weights to add bulk but not weight
If a pattern doesn't work salvage what you can and try a new version
Even make some with ewg hooks and attatch a soft plastic or those hooks with the wire on them for weedless in lines
Your imagination is the limit

Hold a stick in your armpit and don't drop it when you cast

Also don't try to throw it launch it out there super hard until you get the hang of it. Just do regular normal casts.

this.

start slow. dont get frustrated if you dont master it within the first few times you use it. if you really wanted the best way to learn would to put on some heavy braid and tie on a sinker and cast in your yard. also make sure your breaks are set for each lure you put on. good rule of thumb for beginners is when you hold the pole horizontal and press the free spool release the lure should drop at half the speed it would fall under its own weight with gravity.

Start by casting 1/2-1 ounce weights
Start by fan casting
If you're used to spinning reels cast 15 feet to the right of the intended target (assuming your right handed and your swinging the rod on your right side)
Buy cheap mono (zebco brand is like 3 bucks for 700 yards) to learn on because you'll lose a lot to backlashes
Make sure your reel is properly adjusted
Do casual casts to start
Focus on accuracy instead of distance
