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?

Thinking about dusting off the gear and taking Friday off to go fishing.

Especially since I have all this new found PTO.

Same here. I already took the day off and was planning on heading down to Truman for a little crappie action. Except my truck decided it was going to act up again.

But today I saw a Boron IIIx 8.5 foot, 3 weight on a local classified page (alaskaslist.com - great place to buy guns as well). Looks like a lodge had ordered it and never used it. Got it for $350. So now I need a reel and I'm good to go.

I am truly needing a day on the water, though. Lakes are starting to thaw and some rivers are opening and I am just itching to go. I talked to a buddy of mine and he suggested we look at floating the Kenai in a week or two. If we do, I will post pictures. In the interim, I'm reduced to watching fly fishing videos on YouTube instead of working. I came across the following video, which was shot on the Copper River. I've fished the Copper on several occasions and this is a pretty accurate depiction: flying in; inflating catarafts; trying to keep your fish from tangling in the trees; lots of dead salmon. It just doesn't show the bears.

Anyway, this is fish porn and I cannot wait until September.

The Winston BIIIx series is my favorite so far. Though the GVX is also a really nice rod. I wanted to get a GVX in a 6 wt. but I can't find any GVXs at all anywhere. Guess a lot of other people like them as well.

My license just expired and I tore my cast net the last day I went out in the fall. Probably be close to $90 to replace both of them.

Thankfully I have a bag full of 9oz bank sinkers that never got used.

Spent today on the South Platte in southern Colorado. Seven in the net, including a beautiful cutty.

Will be heading out with a few friends this weekend to fish the Caddis hatch on the Arkansas.

Water is perfect in Colorado right now.

Welp, starting into the 3rd year I haven't been able to fish the Missouri River. Still running at over 13 feet at Rulo. I could fish 1 of the 9 wing dikes at 13 feet at Bob Brown Conservation Area. I doubt if any of the wing dikes there have survived the 2 years of high water. Last time I fished it was in April of 2018.

So much for fishing anytime soon. My truck had a battery drain issue that I thought was fixed. Nope, the ****er was stone dead Wednesday afternoon I put a good charge on it and its dead again this morning. My wife and I had planned to head down to Truman early this morning.

So back into the shop it goes for the 4th time..

SAUTO, you have any thoughts on a Silverado 2500HD 4x4 6.0L? I've put two new batteries in it and the dealer has replaced a fuse block on the passenger side and updated the firmware on the HVAC module that has been known to cause this issue. I pulled the OnStar fuse this last time because I was told those systems have been known to cause issues.

There's a slight chance I was responsible for this recent issue. When I charged it up Wednesday and pulled the OnStar fuse, I may have left one of the little interior spot lights on. I'm not certain of that though. I know I turned it on so I could read the fuse panel diagram. How many amps do one of those little LED lights pull anyway? Could they drain a battery in less than two days?

Anyway, I charged it up again today, I'll see how long it hold the charge.

This little conversation is going a long way towards changing my mind about buying a Silverado this year. Maybe I'll just stick to another Toyota.
