Hey, any info or good guides for someone getting back into fishing? A beginner as it were? I've started fishing streams, but I still don't really know what I'm doing.

I'm beginning to hate perch. Is that wrong? Does anyone else hate perch?

Perch are just too tiny and keep swallowing hooks. I feel like a monster.

Salmon fishing is the best fishing I have ever done in my life. Tell me more about salmon fishing.

I heard silvers are awesome fighters. I'm looking to get after them in rivers in Alaska. I got a good amount of pink today. That halibut is rad.

Fly fishing is just very fun. If anyone gets a chance to fly fish, try to target species other than trout/salmon. If you want to see something that looks insane look up pin reels. I don't get how center pins work at all.

Ice fishing is probably the best type of fishing and everyone should do it.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:I hope that there are many ice fishing posts this winter. I can't do it where I live, but getting piss drunk in a shack while catching panfish on a tiny rod sounds like a good time to me. I'll try to do this for you.

Usually live bait. Wax worms and minnows. I'm going to play around with using wet flies this year, however.

Dukket posted:That jibes with with I've been reading. You used a rattle reel. They're like tip ups - just as fun. Edit: If you're in Minneapolis proper you can fish the Chain of Lakes, there's easy access and a few decent spots. Mukulu fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Dec 24, 2018 |

titties posted:I have a little pop-up shanty and I'd like to do some ice fishing. I've gone before, as a kid, but I've only ever cut my holes with an auger. I can't afford one right now, and I kind of don't want to hack through eleven inches of ice with a hatchet. Any low-cost suggestions? Where do you live? If you live in a place that gets less than a foot of ice you could buy a hand auger for less than 50 dollars. Look on Craigslist and you could find one for like 10 bucks.

Sockington posted:I cleaned my first pike the other week and it was a cakewalk once you do it the 5 fillet method. It’s no walleye easy cut and zipper the fillet, but it’s no so bad. Nice walters!

Gooch181 posted:Is leaving my rod in the trunk of my car during the heat going to hurt it? I want to keep a fly rod in there for the occasional time at work where I'm killing time and there's water nearby. I assume a case for it would help, but I havent pulled the trigger on one yet. A normal rod and reel+line will be fine. I wouldn't leave a fly reel and line in your car on a really hot day. Some fly line can get wonky after sitting in heat for a long time.

Dik Hz posted:Lake Superior is fishing hard mode in every sense. Especially on the north shore. Every year they have to rescue idiots who drive out onto moving ice floes and lose their connection to land. My buddy invites me to go ice fishing on the Big Lake every winter and I always turn him down because I've heard all about ice anglers getting trapped on a floating ice sheet. I do want to shore fish Superior some day though. I've got a big old surf rod on back order so I'm hoping to bust that out this summer. Also this is going to be the year I fish some North Shore rivers for Pink Salmon (I've been saying this the past 3 years now). Mukulu fucked around with this message at 13:40 on May 12, 2020 |

Elmnt80 posted:I'm a dork that has a bunch of overpriced sticks of graphite to fish with. A basic ugly stick is 100% the perfect newbie fishing rod. Cheap, durable and with a quality that you normally wouldn't get at that price point. I'd wager more fish have been hauled out with those rods than just about any other. Nthing the ugly stick recommendation, then just grab a cheap reel and some basic line and go fish. I love Ugly Stiks so much and I recommend them to everyone. Plus they're affordable. I've beat mine to poo poo and they still haven't broke.
