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?

Thanks. No laughing, but where does the line tie on? Onto the hook eye or the little hole on the other end of the spoon?

I think the lawn chair is out, so it sounds like I'm buying a canoe.

It does seem logical. We can only fish from the bank along our property line or along the dam, so having a boat would greatly increase the area from which we could fish.

I'd go with a jon boat over a canoe. Canoes are hard to fish from because of lack of stability. You can stand and move around in a jon boat.

They aren't allowed. Canoe or "belly boat" only.

Hmmm. Ill try to describe the best way to use this. They spin, so that can twist the line when you retrieve them, so you dont ever want to connect right to the lure when using a spoon. I like to tie what is called a barrel swivel to my line. It has a loop on either end. Tie about a 1 foot piece of line to the other end. Then on the free end of the 1 foot piece of line, tie directly to the spoon. It will spin freely but wont twist your line. You can tie a snap swivel directly to the line and then clip it to the spoon. Lots of people do this, but I think finicky trout get bothered by the snap swivel. Just me tho.

i think you'd like something w/a flat bottom better. at least until you get used to fishing out of it.

This reminds me...you need to learn some fishing knots for monofilament line. If you try to tie a standard square knot or something the knot will either slip or the line will cut through itself.

The most useful for connecting the line to a hook or lure is the Trilene Knot.

I bought an outrigger for my canoe. It was a under $200. Fits right behind the rear paddler seat. makes the canoe totally stable. It is great for lake fishin.
