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 will get another one, I have a large specific lake close to me I like to fish that has a 15hp max motor size and have not been able to fish in years. I want a center console boat now like a Carolina skiff or something [Reply]
Outstanding shots, Loochy... thanks for sharing bud
As for me, making my first excursion to the Redneck Fishing Festival in tiny Bath, Il next saturday... it has slowly become a huge deal, with people flying in from all over the nation, and world, to help eradicate asian carp in the Illinois river
Won't be entering a boat, just going for the food, krazy fishing action, and of course the booze and ladies... the fishing as its called gets pretty wild, people have been knocked unconscious by them, had their noses broken etc

Yeesh...that's not for me. I go fishing to get away from people, not to be around them. [Reply]
