>I was thinkin about it today

No you weren't stop lying

Went down the canal for a few hours today.
Tried dead baiting for pike for the first time, got fuck all, not one bite, so I switched to a little lure to try and get some perch or some smaller pike, got about half a dozen follows from perch and only one bite, that I missed.
I am the worst fisherman.

I'll have to do a fishing exchange with Pepsi. I meet him down south and do the freshwater thing one day and then take him surf fishing the next day.

>thinking about how chatterbaits continue to be a meme

Kys

You know what really is a meme though? Fuckin Yamamoto senkos. These are the least durable soft plastics I've ever used. I caught one decent sized bass in the pond and work and it's damn near about to fall apart. You would think for $7 a pack they'd be a bit more durable.

>>854610
That fucker fought really hard too. I thought it was a much bigger fish.

Pic is another alright one I caught today. The rest were dinks

>>854610
I still don't understand why Yamamotos are worth 3x as much as Yum baits. If it were a really good creature bait, I would pay the money for it. I really like the KVD Swim'n Shads and I'm willing to pay $6 for those but no $8+ Yamamoto stick baits.

You ever use the Culprit baits? Their plastic is a bit harder than most and they will split around the hook sometimes but they have a couple color combos, designs, and sizes I really like plus I think they are only $4-$5 a pack so I'll go for it.

Got my pb of the year with the tomato seed color

>>854646
They do the exact same thing as other stick baits. The only reason I bought them this time was because that's what academy had in chartreuse.

$15 fuckin bucks for two 1 oz weights. Shits nutty

>>854649

Well you shouldn't need 1 ounce tungsten unless you are punching at least.

>>854649
>not using lead
>current year

Seriously though, the price difference makes it not worth my time.

>>854653

Some american states actually have laws against using that garbage. As said before though, only real use for heavy tungsten is punching. There is no need for anything that heavy/dense on a regular texas or carolina rig.

>>854657
Yeah, sure, and all the industry that pumps out heavy metals is alright lol. Stupid greencuck laws.

>>854657
>>854651
its obviously for punching. why the fuck would I buy them otherwise

>>854653
>using led
>ever

yea.. no thanks.

>>854660

Just clarifying, I'm sure there are people who would be dumb enough to drop the dosh when they weren't even punching. Just look at the people falling for the Mepps meme, kek.

Hnng chartruese. If you look around you could definitely find some Zoom chartruese. The closest thing they have to the Senko worms would be their Fluke Stiks (which I haven't seen in chartruese) or those catepillars. I had been looking for finesse worms in that color for a long time and finally found them.

Also these Culprit worms are pretty dank. 10", really fat, and the bottom half is like a chartruese pearl while the top is like chartruese pepper.

>>854649
I wouldn't mind using something other than lead if they were even close to reasonably priced.

The weather is starting to cool down with recent rain and wind out of the north. This morning I left my panfish gear at home and went after catfish instead. Caught these four channels in about 2.5 hours on worms in a feeder creek that was steadily rising. It's a shame I had to leave for work.

>>854674

Gee it's almost like where they were purchased is kind of irrelevant and what should be relevant is what brand and type they are. I would guess that the bottom is one of the coated types though.

>>854679
If it's spectra fibers then it's essentially the same as power pro. Not sure why it has that weave pattern though because the 30# power pro in front of me looks nothing like that

>>854679

>err yes mr american dis very high quarity stuff see, says right on spoor

>>854684

Because it's a chinese knockoff you dip

>>854686
If you see how braid is made its just a big machine that twists the fibers together. I figured they were all the same. they probably got 5 year olds weaving that shit by hand

>>854674
Different plaiting patterns

>>854683
Just wait to see how the wear.

Awhile back before Skid outed himself as a furry, I ordered him a spool of Power Pro and I was tempted to find a good deal on eBay after realizing his reel would need a 300yd spool and it was like $40 from Cabela's after shipping, but I didn't want to end up sending him fake, damaged, or old line to save money. Line is the last thing anybody should chrap out on.

I like this lake. It's in the middle of a big shopping center so I'm suprised it isn't fished more. But I rarely get the 10"-14" largemouth like I'm always catching at the little lake by my house. Haven't gotten anything huge but at least they are keeper size. Oh, and of course there was a big peacock 2' away when this largemouth hit the bait and the peacock just got scared off.

I'll soon be moving to an area with a lot of stocked Rainbow Trout.

What does /out/ recommend for tackle/b8?

Also, how easy is it to cook for someone with no prior experience preparing fish?

>>854814
Use trout worms on 1/32 jig heads below a slip float, in lines, or crawfish pattern crank baits. My local streams are artificial only so idk about live bait options.

Cooking a fish is piss easy, just cut the head and guts out and roast it with some butter and lemon slices in the body cavity

People really still do this? You can use anything as a weight so long as it sinks. Just J-B Weld a swivel to something or drill a hole in something. You need bullet shapes, that's easy too?

lmfao dude wtf is that picture. dont fucking tell me you actually use that shit. and btw the spines on bullheads are very pronounced and only present on that type of catfish. you cant be stabbed and poisoned by a flat head

>>854843
>cast it hard
>the epoxy breaks and it flies away

>>854843
I think you're confusing what I mean by "spine" i dont just meant the fins themselves Im talking about 3 individual barbs that stick out like needles and have poisonous effects if pricked. there is one on each side at the front of the pectoral fin and one at the front of the dorsal fin.

>>854836
Kek

>>854823
>>854817
Looks like a flathead to me. Never seen a bullhead close to that color. Isn't there a difference with the tails too? I think one has a forked tail while the other is rounded off. At least somebody brought that up a few threads back when trying to figure out if it was a channel cat or bullhead.

>>854849
I know exactly what those are and they have serrated edges, though older ones have less pronounced serrations. They hurt like a bitch if you get poked with them and the serrations on the young ones hurts when you hold them and they wiggle hard.

All the time. The fish don't seem to care what it looks like.

>only present on that type of catfish

You are incorrect. All catfish have those spines that can stab you and "poison" you. Though, only saltwater catfish have actual poison and it is only as much as bee venom.

>>854845
>weights that are good

Fishermen are the toppest tier of buyfags as you will ever know. It amazes me what lengths they go to get something that "looks good" yet works the same any anything that "looks shitty".

I never understood that.

>>854863
Im not gunna bash you but I mean god damn. what is a pack of split shots? 1.99?

>>854866
Bullet weights are 98¢ for a pack at Walmart.

Some people just enjoy making their own shit so whatever. But even if I lived somewhere with a lead weight ban, I wouldn't make anything like that. I think steel split shots are cheap and easy to find, but not so much for other weights so you gotta pay the high for tungsten.

>>854865
>"it amazed me that fisherman like to use tackle like a normal person instead of just going to the arts and craft store and cob jobbing some baits together"

gotta save the $.05 amirit?

>>854865
>spending 3 dollars on swivels then 5 on glue instead of 2 bucks on splitshot
>accusing others of being buyfags wasting money

>>854868

They make steel/brass bullet and drop shot weights too. Tungsten is a lot more dense though, so I still use it for texas rigs most of the time.

>>854871
Don't forget that you can save money on fishing if you only use a bobbin of thread with a small hook and small rock tied to the end

>>854874
Especially if you build the hook from a paperclip and only use worms you find or are given for free

SharkMan just caught a 45 inch striper, holy shit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n4lPrUj_jU

for all you fags crying about the price of tungsten. this site is legit (ordered some myself) and they charge $1.72 for a 1/2 oz painted bullet weight. If you buy in bulk (spend over $40) its free shipping

That's a short stripper. I prefer mine to be at least 60".

>>854872
Now that I think about it, a pack of split shots costs about the same as a pack of swivels so that is retarded. Anon should just spend $$$ on some nice drill bits and a drill press so he can drill holes through stones and those glass beads and make them for free!

>>854873
I think I have seen the brass ones at Bass Pro but not positive. I mostly see lead and tungsten but I'm sure if you lived somewhere with a boner for shitty birds they would probably have more choices. At least those bans don't normally cover big weights so you don't have to pay $50 for a 6oz pyramid weight for surf fishing.

>>854843
Its okay pham others be hating. But do /diy/ ur thing. I do things diffrently too. Made this yesterday. Using old brass casings is nice. I always save my old pinch weights that are beyond using. And just melt them down. A 380 is about 300grams. And a 9mm is like 400. A .223 is like a ounce. Plus they look cool.

>>854887
There was one other smaller one but it wasn't hooked near the mouth.

What is that even? A bluegill? I can't tell.

Also, I really need to get some Kastmasters one day. Months ago Skid was saying to get them and throw a regular hook on and run grubs or flukes or whatever. I have a couple spoons but never use them. But I always end up spending the money on something else.

>>854891
Still lead tho.

A .22 would probably be good for drop shots.

>>854893
Kastmaster + soft plastic is killer


>>854884
Glass and stone is hard to drill though
He'll spend more on drill bits than if he just got weights

>>854895
Not sure how much a 22 would weigh is free.could make one if I can find a old casing laying around somewere. Im guessing only like maybe 150grams.

And yeah lead.. But at least with the brass it doesn't get all banged up or chewed up as easily. And you can see it flying through the air easier.

>>854895
A .22 would weigh nothing
.32 acp or .22 mag on the other hand

>>854893
Also that's a shad
A filter feeder
Pure chance that it is hooked by the mouth
It was probably trying to school with the spoon and fucked up

>>854875
>>854874
Actually, I've done that before, but I use the clear nylon and a cane pole made from bamboo I grew. It is good for panfish and baitfish, you don't even need to bait the hook, just put some ribbon on it and make it a "lure".

>>854866
No clue, I've not purchased sinkers in years. All the gear I get is second hand. Like I bought a tackle box full of tackle last month for only $3 at a yard sale (and $3 more for a rod and spinning reel). It had lead sinkers in it, lots of snap swivels (pictured in >>854843), a few lures, and lots of gang trolls for lakes. We can't use lead here though. Making those weights cost probably around $0.001 each if that.

Fished the river at about 6PM today and caught lots of largemouth and bluegills which were the last fish I wanted to catch but were fun.

Trying to catch em all and fill out my fishdex. Going to head to another river tomorrow morning around 7 or 8 am with nightcrawlers.

Hoping for:
Catfish
Muskies
Perch
Walleye
Trout
Rainbow darters.

Wewlad they drink salt water! I think they have bigger issues to worry about. Like dehydration!

Anyone into salmon fishing. Looks like the salmon are up the rivers now and I need some recommendations on what lures, baits and rigs to use in my local river.

I am going to go backpacking in the rest of Canada, while in the wild I plan to make me a DIY fishing rod with a stick, a fishing string, a hook and a fishing float.

What are the tips you could give me to maximize my chance of catching a fish (technique and places)? I will probably hunt some worms as bait, but some tips on where to find them would be appreciated too.

>>854992
Look up "cane pole fishing" on YouTube and Google

Worms can really be found anywhere just bring a trowel with you and start turning over soil near whatever body of water you're gonna fish
The key to finding worms is not digging some giant hole but to do many small holes that's really just turning over soil
Softer and more moist soils will have more worms

>>854992
bring more than one hook
unless you're doing the whole survival thing you could definately fit a fishing pole in your pack

I should really get down to the beach. But I do want to get back to sleep. This is why I need more 3 day weekends. When I only have two days a week to sleep in past 4:30am, I like to take advantage of them.

I had a 3 days weekend too. It's wonderful.

Went fishing with my father on friday.

I would probably blow 100 bucks and order a couple of this

That way I won't feel that bad about paying 32 bucks for shipping, since I've discarded the option of buying locally, at least the reel, I got my eye on a cheap rod for 30 bucks that looks pretty good.

>>855135
there really isnt any "wrong" way to work a frog. What I find to be the most effective is to reel in 80% of the slacked line and to do short 6 inch twitches with the rod tip pointing down. If you practice and get the technique down your frog will pop side to side (commonly referred to as walking the dog) creating a lot of commotion on the water. When I first started fishing frogs I just did little pops in a straight line and that worked too. The biggest thing is just making a commotion in the water to signal a bass that there is a struggling frog trying to flee. When you get a blow up wait a second in a half to ensure that its got a good grip, then rip that sucker in

>>855142
How often should I be twitching it? Like should I do it once then wait for a minute, or should I do it relatively quickly?

>>855144
non stop until you you run out of line. Just keep a constant retrieve while twitching the rod tip the whole time.

>>855144
Also if you are fishing a frog that has the little rubber strings like that pic I posted you want to trim them to be equal to the length of the body of the frog. It improves strike accuracy

>>854919
Go into a store and ask for some .22, let me know how many .222 .223 .22 short .22 hornet .22 long and .22 magnum you get compares to how many .22 lr boxes you get

Dang thats nice. I'm from Ireland, but my biggest catch came when I went deep sea fishing whilst on holiday in Florida about 10 years ago. It weighed 55lb, the captain said it was a blue drum or black drum. No pics unfortunately, father has a video on his old camera though somewhere.

Biggest fish I've caught here at home was a 26.5lb pike in February. Also my proudest catch, took it on a tiny light rod and a mepps whilst going after trout.

>>855147
>>855149
Thanks!

>>855099
Idk, you have to be really careful not to spook them. 95% of the snakeheads I catch are on inline spinners but lots of people say topwater works well too. You could probably try rattlers or something too and I have gotten a couple on Texas rigged stuff. Only problem with soft plastics is they normally don't inhale the whole bait like bass, instead they grab it and try to run off. So with worms and shit, they will just grab the end of the worm and not the hook unless you give them plenty of time to get it before you set the hook.

They like to hang out close to shore in small weed patched. So if you are hitting the canals and stuff, try and run parallel to shore just past the weeds. I think the best time for sneks has been the worst time for bass, like middle of the afternoon when it is nice and warm.

There are tons of canals in the business parks around like Copans and Powerline, that's where I got that big guy a little west of Powerline. And then there are the lakes around like Powerline and Sample and Wiles. There are 3 lakes right there and they all have sneks in them.

>>855182

Cool, thanks. I may have been spooking them. I'll check out a few more places probably today

You can definitely tell when they are in the area. When you walk past, they will shoot out of the weeds into deeper water and you will see a little splash from their tails and it is different than carp.

The one spot I like a lot is off Powerline. If you're going north on Powerline and you pass Sample, turn right on 40th Ct (the next stoplight). It will bring you back into this warehouse area. Where this red dot is, there is a gate in the fence and you can fish along this whole shoreline. If you go there, you will see the rocky shoreline and just run the Rooster Tail a few feet off the rocks parallel to shore and you will see the sneks coming out to hit it.

One more thing about the sneks. If they take a shot or see you, it will be hard to get another bite out of them. But sometimes you can get them nesting or just chilling and they will chase the spinners but never really hit it good. When that happens, sometimes I will run the spinners by them faster and it just triggers a reaction strike.

Pic related was like that. It was just chilling in one spot close to shore and whenever I would run past it, it wouls chase it and give up but never actually get the lure in its mouth. Gave it one fast retrieve and it hit the spinner really hard.

>>855190

Hey thanks, I'm probably hitting Tradewinds today because the wife wants to tag along and read. But I'll hit that spot this week and see what I can get.

I'm sure there's some sneks in there. That big guy was literally caught a few blocks away. If anything, you could get some Mayans on the rooster tails too. That U-Shaped lake in this pic right by the red dot isn't bad either. I've been there a couple times and that's one of the lakes I know has a lot of snakeheads because they are constantly darting out of the weeds but I haven't caught one there yet.

>>855144
>>855147
I would definitely give it some pauses. If a fish is following the lure it'll strike when you pause. It's just the way they're wired.

It doesn't have to be a long pause just like maybe half a second. I've watched fish follow my jerk baits, cranks, chatterbaits, and top water and they always strike if I give it a pause.

>>855120
an 11 foot is too short? Or are you referring to the 6k combo?

I use a 7, and 8, a 9 and an 11 for surfcasting now depending on what I'm throwing and distance needed. probably snag a 13 this fall when stores/shops run sales in Nov.

Not really no, 7' heavy memecaster rod. He ran twice when I got him up to the beach. But I know what you mean, the one I caught last week wasn't very impressive, but this one wanted to play.

If you are ever over there right around sunset, try and cast out right where the yellow is. Sometimes you have to launch it out there, sometimes they are close. But my best bass out of that place always come right there as the sun is setting. There is a strange flat spot and weed bed right off that point and they will hang out just past there. Be careful running stuff deep though because there are a couple random snags that have taken like 10 Mepps from me.

>>855395

It was a 45 minute fight, took half an hour before I even got a glimpse of what it was. Still a miracle I landed it, I had no wire trace, just a mepps on 10lb line, a bison convertible fly/spin light rod and a little Shimano 2500 hyperloop reel. Bent my net getting it into the boat.

>Bent my net getting it into the boat.

I think I would have just hauled it up by gripping the netting with something that big. I have a large landing net that a person cold fit into, but the damn thing is only cheap aluminum tubing. I can't imagine lifting anything out of the water that size with it and have it remain intact.

>>855437
And when you get a peacock bass, you will know for sure since they have the body shape much more like other bass.

If you get bored of that lake, there are two more lakes right there. If you keep going north on Powerline, they are both just north of Wiles Rd (the next light). The one on the west side of Powerline doesn't have a ton of spots to fish from shore from what I've seen. But if you go north on Powerline from Sample, turn right on Wiles, and then make a left into those warehouses right there, you will see a pretty good sized lake back there. They both have sneks, Mayans, and largemouth.

How much trouble am I asking for to trespass into an abandoned forest preserve

Most of the people I know who own firearms have .22cal in various cartridges. They always specify what it is when they talk about them.

You are like that kid that keeps thinking .22 means a pellet rifle because that's the only .22 he grew up on.

>>855549
I'm gonna say most of the time if you just say .22 they'll think of .22lr or magnum. For the other calibers you say out the whole thing (.223, .22-50, ect).

and literally everyone but you and your autistic friends would use a .22lr because that's what .22 means in casual gun talk.

I own 14 different firearms. They own 2-3 times that much each. A few are trade show dealers. We all know that you need to designate what type of .22 you are discussing before you just rattle out "22!" like a 5 yo.

/lure/ knows even less about guns than they do about fishing and they know next to nothing at all about real fishing.

>>855610
Or you could talk to some normal people for once who would assume .22 means .22lr

just ignore him he's gotta be trolling at this point

He's the "kid" anon and everyone pretty much just humors him.

Back on topic, has anyone used the big beatle spins? I've never seen them larger than the small grubs for panfish and came across these in the new sports store. I've only used them once in saltwater so far but it landed me a couple ladyfish and a trout within the first hour on the white+black one.

>>855618
>not knowing most of 4chan uses "kid" and its even been wordfiltered

>>855618
How big are they? I have managed to find some that fit 1/4oz jigheads well, but beyond that you might as well just go with the spinnerbaits with no skirt.

Underspins are still fun. I have been using those a lot instead of beetle spins.

these 1/4th oz ones, quite big considering I've only seen the panfish size and it didn't occur to me larger ones were made.

Also forgot to mention they were $1.50 each which is what made me decide to buy them. Definitely worth it imo, gonna try em out on the lake tomorrow for some bass.

>>855621

I like those things. Get on some of those ~2" Gulp curly tail minnows or similar size PowerBait curly tail grubs and go at it.

If the Beetle Spins work for you, I reccommend trying underspins (pic related) if you want a slightly less flashy presentation but still need it to get noticed.

Only problem with the underspins is the only big ones I see are expensive. The 1/16oz and 1/8oz ones are only $3-$4 for a 6-pack. I see the 1/4oz ones at Dick's and Bass Pro, they are on something like a 2/0 hook look great for sticking on a Zoom Super Fluke Jr. or 3"-4" grub but they want $5-$6 for one of them. I don't understand why they are so expensive compared to the smaller ones.

I always like when I dig into the tackle boxes with jigheads and smaller soft plastics. I have so much random stuff I don't even remember buying that I can combine and play with.

>>855575

I may take you up on that, I'm trying to make Saturdays my saltwater day though, got a group of guys from work that are trying to drag me into their weekly gig.

Another question, is it worth it to have another pole out with cut bait to botton fish? I love me some catfish and I figure there's gotta be plenty around here.

Looks like an Ugly Stik UL rod, not sure on the reel.

>>855656
the spinning rod up top? it looks really strange to me like they maybe have the spool spinning because theres not enough room for the outside part to rotate

>>855656
That's a medium? Damn. The backbone looks really thin on that one. Is it an older one?

>>854938
>EastBayCAguy

I'm in Santa Rosa, let's go hit up the delta.

>>855658
I used to have some older rods that looked like that, the blank is really thin where it hits the reel seat. Some newer ultralight rods are still like that, but even on older medium weight rods they were thinner. I think the materials changed and they used more fiberglass compared to the hollow carbon whatever blanks they are using now.

The colors in that pic, the red and silver, are on the newer Ugly Stiks instead of the red and yellow on the older ones which suprised me because I thought it was either a really light rod or an older one.

>>855662
Maybe that was transferred from bamboo rods because bamboo is so gently tapered? I could be spouting be here but who knows

>>855658
its just a weird angle

>>855659
Naw it's new. It says medium on the side but it definitely feels more like a light compared to other poles I have.

>>855684
That's also the LOL Ugly Stik """Action""" but their casting rods aren't quite as bad. They are much heavier for a given size. A 6'6" M Ugly Stik for a casting reel will feel way more beefy than a 6'6" M made for a spinning reel.

That pic has to just be at a strange angle or something though. It looks like an old school design where the rod is much less tapered and the base by the handle is nowhere near as thick compared to the tip.

Went out to the Wave Organ today, didn't catch anything. What I'm happy about is that I had a grand total of 2 wind knots and I managed to untangle both.

Any reason why Baitcaster rod is a bad place to start fishing?

It seems like all the youtubers and tv people use one.

It is Enisey river, Russia, fishing festival

New fisherman here? Should I buy one or two rods to start out with?

I feel like if I had a second I could bring friends fishing or have to things set up at once.

I have a abu garcia vengence cardinal combo. 6.6 M

Thinking of grabbing a cheapeo uglystik 7' MH combo.

Still have yet to catch anything but panfish.

>>855731
How the hell do you have exams in early September?

>>855710
they're really hard to use (for a beginner), not really enjoyable. if you mess up a cast you have to spend like 2-3 minutes fixing the backlashed line.
on top of that there are no real benefits unless you are going saltwater

>>855731
Lmao. You wont. If you can't find time now, you wont 10 years from now... Its pretty much gonna be buy boat>buy truck>get shitty house>house turns into money pit>boat just sits in driveway because you have to work more to afford moneypit house>sell boat>sell truck>buy a Z06 or super sport motorcycle>have it for like a year>sell it off before your even finished making ur dues

Galveston fishing in the fall or winter is /comfy/, never had much luck in lakes, especially the weird seasonal ones here

I'm actually lookin for fishing, shrimping, or guiding jobs in South Padre/Brownsville rn

met a dude at a bar whose brother runs a guide outfit, but he never returned my call

So I was at a pier today, and saw a lot of people fishing and it looked really comfy. I've only fished once, when I was a kid, and was wanting to pick it up for funsies and to get out more.

I guess I'd ask where do I start. I'm basically retarded at this and that pastebin is mostly moonspeak to me.

>>855720
You will probably be fine with the one M combo. But if you are fishing little lakes and really want a second combo, either grab a light combo with a ~1000 series reel and 4lb mono or a MH with 12-14lb mono. The light combo will be great if you are getting lots of bluegill, perch, crappie, or small bass and some days you may use it more than the M combo. If you plan to go for catfish or carp a lot, do the MH combo.

>>855710
Spinning rods are more versatile. It's hard to cast light stuff with baitcasters so they are a bad choice for your only rod. The learning curve for casting and stuff will also be higher and not sure if you want to be frustrated with backlashes and knots while getting skunked because you haven't found the right spot or bait yet. If you wanted to get a memecaster for bass a month after you get your first spinning combo and have some practice, I would say go for it if you really want to.

>>855799
The Pastebin is also mostly freshwater. Skid will give you a bunch of retarded advice but I would say go to a local Bass Pro and Cabela's, tell them what you are trying to do, and get set up with a Penn spinning combo the correct size for the pier and run whatever rigs and bait they reccommend.

>>855801
Anywhere else? Neither of those have any local shops. Nearest Cabelas is a state over, and the nearest Bass pro is a 3 hour drive.

>>855803

ask the folks at the pier for shops, what they've gotten success with baitwise, etc
