utterlycorrupt posted:What's going on here in terms of species? Just curious because I've seen bluefish come up on bunker schools so hard it looks like a depth charge when they pop up all at once. This looks similar. I believe that's exactly what that is. Bluefish chasing bunker somewhere in the northeast. fake edit: GIS confirms it and says New Jersey

I was out fishing tonight just off a little pier - nothing great was biting but the weather was gorgeous and it was really peaceful. I also saw a big 1.5 foot snapping turtle just swimming around and chilling, it had like a dozen bluegills following it everywhere it went and eating the scum off of its shell. It was awesome.

Strike King spinner with Colorado blade Evening was different pond, clear water, 2 largemouth, one on a spinner that has never produced, crayfish colored, which i promptly lost after a 4 lb catch, and a 2 lb. Caught on a rattling top water rebel frog, hard body, not the kind thrown into pads. A good day.

I'm going to reveal my scrub-ness here but I never have any drat luck at all with any kind of artificial bait - I used to be able to get some action with the little rubber flukes with the spin tails but recently just absolutely nothing.

I want to do some stream/lakeshore backpacking fishing for trout. Anyone have any recommendations for portable rods/reels? Lighter weight would be good. Would 6 lb test be best for this?

The JR's are crap though and I have more or less given up on finding a good <4" fluke so now I am messing around with finesse shakyheads. Ryoshi posted:I'm going to reveal my scrub-ness here but I never have any drat luck at all with any kind of artificial bait - I used to be able to get some action with the little rubber flukes with the spin tails but recently just absolutely nothing. What are you fishing for? I prefer lures due to being hyperactive but to use them well you have to find the fish, as opposed to bait where you can just wait until one swims on by.

Oscar Wild posted:Probably spinning. The tenkanafly is tempting but I do run out to lakes so I'd like some versatility. Can you lake fish for trout with a tenkana rig easily? No idea honestly how tenkara works in non-moving water. I have a few different rigs that I hike with, depending on the expected hike/fish breakdown of the day. If I am hiking to go fishing, I bring a single rod and enough tackle to cover whatever I expect to encounter. If I am hiking mainly and just fishing for a bit I have an ML Okuma travel rod that I pIr with a 2000 sized reel. It is light enough and comes in a hard tube that fits in a pack's water-bottle pocket, but you have to assemble and rig it every time, which is kinda lame. If I am just hiking but maybe might see some water, I bring a cheap telescoping rod with a 1000 reel and an Altoids tin jammed with some universal lures. It is nice as you can keep it rigged and make a few casts then move on without making folks wait for you to break down your rig.

RFC2324 posted:Not as many crazy rednecks as TX, and from people who live there I understand that you stay out of northern FL, and stay away from Miami, and its pretty chill. Screw that. You go to Miami and catch peacock bass in the canal in your back yard. I used to live in Fort Lauderdale and Broward county is absolutely full of canals and little ponds. Tons of fish to catch. Plus the Everglades are nearby if you are feeling adventurous.

Zorodius posted:what if I don't want to catch fish but really like drinking in a boat That's basically fishing in my experience. Out of all the times I went I can only remember catching anything bigger than my hand (if anything) probably 5% of the time. I have yet to catch anything on an artificial lure, except one time I hooked a bluegill somehow in its side. Other than that I never get any bites on them. Usually I use frozen squid for saltwater but that gets really gross as the day goes on and the fish just tear it off the hook most of the time.

If you want an easy way to catch the bass where you're fishing, grab a pack of 7 inch Berkley power worms Black/Blue fleck or pumpkinseed color and learn how to Texas rig them. There are tons of ways to fish soft plastics but the Texas rig always seems to catch bass consistently.

I really only use artificial lures if I know there's a lot of bigger smallmouth or something in the water but like I said I never have any luck with it (maybe I'm just a total idiot). If you have open water, make like a mini popping cork rig with a small bobber and a 1/32oz jighead. Buy a jar of the Gulp 1" or 1.5" grubs and you will catch some bluegills/sunfish. But again, reading about how a given species lives and feeds, and then learning how to read a body of water to deduce where the fish are holding is going to improve your catch rate more then any lure will alone.
