Got into fishing a week or so ago and it is quite chill imo. Been using google earth to find some gorgeous spots in my area that I never even knew about. Using a spinning rod and my lucky crankbait. So far I’m more into rivers but I found a sweet inaccessible pond in a corporate park yesterday where I was pullin largemouths out nonstop.

Using a small rebel crickhopper which is kind of a crankbait topwater hybrid and they have been going nuts for it. Pulled ten fish out of the river with it in a few hours a couple days ago and it has since been dubbed my lucky lure e: as a bonus it was on clearance for $1.84 at walmart! rap music fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Aug 11, 2020 |

I like lazy rivers and am generally considered a large human at 6’4” 230lbs, no idea what an appropriate price is though

dangling pointer posted:E: I asked in the discord but my headlamp recently broke. Any recommendations? Will I get banned for directly linking to amazon? Let's find out! I recently needed to replace a headlamp as well and one of my criteria was that it use a rechargeable lithium ion. This model has worked spectacularly so far. In fact I just spent three days camping with friends and they argued more than a few times on who got to use it when I loaned it out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WDNCNTH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I’m in a pretty populous area but I find my best spots on google earth. Generally I want places that are somewhat inaccessible since most people are too lazy for anything that isn’t 5’ from where they parked.

I’m new and started on a pflueger president spin caster combo from dicks for like $70 and love it tbh Probably should have got a shorter rod tho since I like to find untouched bank spots which usually have a lot of brush and stuff

titties posted:Good buy imo. I have a 400 president on my steelhead rig that i bought on sale for $40 and i like it so much that i have been looking for a deal on a 300 size to use on my general purpose setup for the last 3 years but i can never find them for less than $60. If you got one with a decent rod for $70 then I'm super jelly tbh Ya I noticed the combo at dicks was the same price as the reel on amazon so free rod kinda? It’s this one except 6’6 2pc rod https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/...wE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Try other ponds too. There is one spot near me that I’ve fished multiple times (out of hellbent frustration) without so much as a nibble, while at another nearby I’m pulling fish out nonstop.

Even if it’s public find one that is unkempt and you have to wade thru a little brush to get to. I swear to you most people will spend hours catching nothing at a terrible spot that’s easily accessed rather than deal with the slightest inconvenience to fish a gem

Bass like to hang out around visual landmarks like fallen trees, docks, rock piles, stumps, etc. they also like to travel along the bank within 10’ out depending on the terrain. If you really want to sperg out for lake fishing you can look thru dated archives on the google earth desktop app. Rewind time to a point during which the lake was lowest and make note of lay downs and other landmarks along the bottom that would otherwise be hidden during periods of normal depth.

I’ll reiterate that if you put forth even a modicum of effort to traverse slightly tougher terrain you will exclude almost all fishermen and women
