So anyone else into fishing?

[epilepticme]

Lure fishing is a whole new level of fishing. Its pretty easy to toss a nightcrawler or minnow out and wait. It takes real talent to toss a lure and land a trophy.
4lb smally and 3lb rainbow great job!

Another month and it will be icefishing season here in NY.

Any other icefisher people?

no ice fishing here... ut I have always carried a couple of fishing rods and tackle box in my service truck. I have lots of customers that have ponds on their lans, and there are lakes in some subdivisions too. Most of the time I catch and release. When I get out to the left coast, I fish for stripers and steelies. Its a toss up as to whether I like a spinning rig or a fly rig the best.:thumbsup:

Medicine is good, Your 1st Bass on a lure, Nice...I remember my First bass on a lure, probably over 20 years ago...4 lbs. for your 1st bass caught by angling isn't to shabby...Lures are almost all I use for bass, it's so much more satisfying for me than live bait...Look into the SENKO's for soft plastics, Bass love em'...I agree let's get this thread poppin....

congratulations!
don't be afraid to g big! check out what the local bait fish is, match the hatch as they say. sounds like you did. this time of year the forage that have survived to this point are bigger than normal. trophy bass are looking for the biggest
reward for the least effort.
big and slow!
water temps are dropping as well which will slow down their metabolism and activity.
sounds like you are on the right track. wait until you get intoa 7 or 8 lb hog!

I think your talkin bout med is good...Bass fishing is my personal fav... my biggest is only 7 lbs 5 oz. Black Largemouth outta Lake Shasta....I caught it fishing in my first bass tournament...It was just a local tourny but I took 6th place out of 60 people and won for the Biggest Bass of the tournament...I was stoked I'll have to scan the pix of the catch onto the puter so I can post them...Good luck to all on the water, and stay safe out there....

i like to bass fish a lot. Mostly Texas rigging plastics. but when i feel like just chilling out i head to the river toss in a baited hook and wait for the cats to come calling. There is something about pulling in a 20 pound cat against the current. I can agree with stinky completely about infection after getting stabbed by catfish spines, the infection is much worse than the injury.

I love cat fishing too.. I heard you could get Osteoporosis from getting stuck by a catfish spine...it's the lil ones you gotta watch out for....

I havent been fishing in over a year due to a moritorium in my area.

The pic on the left are a couple of small King Salmon, and on the right is a super
beautiful Ling Cod.

Haven't done much fishing in the salty pond, but I'd like to do more...

I live about 2/12- 3 hrs on a windy ass rd. from the coast...

I'd like to travel the world and catch species after species of different fish...ie: Florida for tarpon, South America for Peacock Bass, Southeast Asia for some Huge Meekong river Catfish, I could keep on going but I think y'all get the point... just one of my dreams....

Keep your lines wet and your bowls packed, & your sure to have a good time...

later, D
