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? [Reply]

It's even better in person. The feel of the thin, dry, cool mountain air with the warm sunshine on my skin is amazing. Also, I paid to fish a private section of water that hadn't been fished in 2 weeks. I didn't see any other people while I was there.
One of the coolest things that happened is an eagle was flying around overhead and making the stereotypical eagle screech that echoed through the canyon. It was awesome stuff. [Reply]

Do they have any bigger fish there or all they are minnows?

LL Bean breathable boot fit waders. All waders will leak on you eventually. LL Bean has a lifetime warranty. When they leak send them back and you get a new pair. I like boot fit because I find them easier to get on, more room in the foot area to add socks, etc, and you don't have to worry about gravel protectors and all that crap. [Reply]
