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]

I'm getting one just like this but a 2016 18tx Brand New and am waiting for the Garmin panoptix forward view fish finder to mount on the bow. Full camo package. When it comes in I plan to hire a guide service for a day at Texoma to show me the ropes and then spend a few days fishing after that.
Thankyou, cannot fucking wait ! I used to fish EVERY weekend when I lived in Holdenville , OK. Moved to this hellhole in 98 and haven't been since . 20 years! [Reply]
Think of it this way with all the rain and higher than normal lakes the fish must have found food source like shad hatch and so they just aren't hungry this year. It's an off year so next year there are gonna be some bigguns prime to catch. [Reply]
Couple old guys pulled more fish out the hole. 2 of them around 30lbs and a bunch of 5-10lbs. Soon as the holiday is over going back out for a monster [Reply]
God FUCKing dammit FUCKing fucks. All FUCKing year the only FUCKing pole with supposed to be my best catfish line because it's on a catbuster fishing rod and reel from motha FUCKing Bass Pro Shop this FUCKing line is FUCKing worthfuckingless. It FUCKing breaks quicker than shit. Forty lbs line my FUCKing ass. Worthess FUCKing line. [Reply]
Shit. Lighting to the south looking severe thunder storm. Lightning is impressive. Had a fireworks show earlier you could see across the lake was neat. My son crashed out in the car I didn't bother setting up a tent with all these storms this year FUCKing up my fishing:-)
Actually not true best I've done this year is was during a storm rolling in so bring it the fuck on God ! [Reply]
I don't know how many of you are into night fishing but I found one of the coolest things ever for a buck at Walmart. Headlights for your hat they just clip on your bill. Things like this use to cost twenty to thirty bucks so these things are cool as fuck imo.
I'm wearing my LUCKY fishing hat tonight as I always wear my lucky hat night fishing not no luck so far.
Looks like the storm pussed out that's a good thing. [Reply]
