Plebian.

My trip got banned for the past few days because I posted something about trump in this thread. Whoever reported me is probably btfo right now.

Can anyone recommend soft plastics for saltwater Carolina rigging? Gulp sandsworms are great for dinks but I want to experiment.

Tried out a new fly pattern last night. Hard to tell from the picture but there's a pair of eyes that's made of a pair of melted mono stands. Considering using longer pieces so they stand out more.

>>891467
I'm by Fort Worth (north Texas). In the summer it gets hot as balls (like a bunch of 105+ days with a heat index of 115), but it's pretty dry thankfully. The water still gets pretty warm. Cause even at night the temps are still in the 80s.

In the winter it gets colder than down south, but last year it was 75 degrees on Christmas Eve so it can be strange. At least I can fish all year round for the most part.

>>891487
If you got a boat you'd be able to fish all them cool simmin lures all year...

I don't even think they would hit the big baits if I were in the middle of the lake. They are too slow and lazy and small baits can get the job done better.

>>891514
Oh yeah I wouldn't throw oversized swim baits in the middle of summer, but if you could get to the suspended bass in the middle of the lake you could use all sorts of shit.

>>891571
Yeah it's supposed to be a shrimp. I pretty much just fish with what I make when I fly fish, more fun that way. Haven't been out to the water with it yet. I'll let you know.

>>891700
I dint gave a 704, I use a long beach no.68
It holds 400 of 50 but I've seen people get by on a 309 with #30 line
I just like the #50 cause you do get sharks
>>891715
I'd leave the eyes that length but bend them outwards
Use some cross wraps or whatever and get them standing off to the side a little

>>891715
Also It looks like you tied it upside down

>>891722
That's actually how it was suggested to tie it. I'll try it both ways. Thanks for the idea on spreading the eyes apart.

>>891725
Huh
Unless there's dumbbell eyes isn't the hook just going to make it ride upside down?
Something about it just looks weird

Have you tied any in tan with pink and Orange accents in the body? I bet that would be a good colour combo
Maybe even with a little gold flashabou

>>891726
You're probably right about the way it swims. I'll test it out in my aquarium and see how it moves. I haven't tried other colors yet since the chartreuse was what I had lying around. Hopefully I can find the time to hit up my local store this weekend.

Not a single bite. I even had 1 rod in the water most of the time with a bobber and nightcrawler and only got one bite.

I might be the worst fisherman in the world.

>>891913
Probably just one of those dead atmospheric pressure times. Sometimes they are biting like crazy when you wouldn't expect it and other times they won't touch shit when they should be feeding. It isn't an exact science.

You'd think there would be some scientific studies on fishing by now. Instead its all second hand knowledge. Does a leader make a difference? Are chatterbaits a meme? How many colors can fish even see? etc

>>891919
Scientists have more important stuff to fo like figure out which bathroom trannies should use.

>>891916
you can musky fish your entire life and never catch once that big.

Ive been going on Canadian pike trips annually for years and the biggest one I ever got was 43 inches.

Get an ultralight spinning rod that breaks down into 4 or more pieces and magnesium real or something else light That fits in a PVC tube taken all apart with reel off the rod and handle off the reel.

Use 4lb or 6lb test fluorocarbon.

>pic related, a man who can't fish backpacking is not a happy man

>>891941
Big ones got that way for a reason, they'll be the ones to produce "smarter" offspring that will eventually avoid fishing hooks all together.

>>891985
Its not even that. Big pike like that are very territorial. You have to fish very deep, big water (not easy) and cross your fingers that you are in the right spot and that a giant could be hanging out there.

>>892009
Yeah I have some friends that go for big pike and musky in WI and I think they troll and run deep cranks and swimbaits for em.

Thats about the only thing you can do for the big ones. Even if you get lucky enough to have a pike see your lure the odds of it striking are less than 50%. The bigg'ns are hard af to catch. Plus just sitting there watching your rod in the holder for hours isnt very fun. I prefer to just go shallower and throw spoons and swim baits for smaller ones (pic related from last April)

>>892017
Buy a 10 weight fly rod and some big ass streamers, pike like that will feel like a whale

>>892017
Danm fine bowfin you got there anon.

>>892024
I gotta learn how to use that 6 weight redington rod first. Maybe next year Ill get one for pike. You think a 10 weight would be good? would I be able to catch salmon with that you think? I have prime salmon fly fishing not very far from me that I would be able to do a lot more than pike fishing since I only really do heavy pike fishing one week a year

in illinois

how should i be targetting bass and pike now that the temperature is starting to cool off?

>>892036
A 10 weight Will be perfectly fine for salmon
An 8 weight is more popular for salmon but you'll be fine with a 10 weight for salmon and you'll have an easier time throwing the big streamers for pike with a 10 weight

>>892122
>>892036
Forgot my trip
I'd say go for an 8 weight moderate fast personally you can still cast big flies with that

Tomorrow is going to be the day. Going to catch my first fish in like 10 years. First ever fish on a lure.

If I say it enough it will come true, right?

>>892137
What are you goin for? Good luck mang.

>>892058
Try running some spinnerbaits for the bass and covering lots of water.

>>892137
Redfin. Murray Cod are outta season.

It's apparently going to storm soon, but should clear up before morning. That, and with the river still flooded around 4m's I'm thinking I won't have any luck.

At least it'll be a nice walk, seeing how messed up the river bank and surrounding area is after such a massive flood.

Gonna try a spinner bait. Apparently they don't get snagged up too easily and should help with the murky water.

>>892122
any reason to why an 8 weight would be preferable over a 10 weight? is it all about the ability to cast the flys necessary for that type of fishing?

>>892256
Nope. Was fun tho. River peaked around 10m. currently around 4m or so. It's strange out there. Hasn't changed anything too much.

Great day until I got back to the ute and realised my car keys were gone. 4km walk back up the river to where i went swimmng for a lue and there they were. Luckily.

>>892316
Should add. It *might* not be my fault. There's been a lot of sightings of dead fish everywhere. Black water is killing em off according to the local rag.

>>892316
>>892318
You don't have any lakes? You realy gotta find the right spot in rivers to get on the fish. I always found lakes easier to judge. The canals are just a bitch because they are so uniform and no real features aside from some bridges and where smaller canals feed into the larger ones.

>>892325
Bout an hour and a half from a nice lake. Hoping to get a kayak or tinnie before heading to lake Mulwala.

I'm enjoying the fishing, well casting anyway. Went to a heavy spinner today. Learned to cast that which is handy. Starting to consistently be able to drop a lure within 2feet of a structure, usually closer, but still lacking real distance.

But if it's a bad cast, it's a horribly bad cast. Finding the line slips through my fingers before i'm good to release it. BUt that's becoming less of an issue.

And Dog enjoyed it. First time out the river for her off leash. Stayed within 50 yards and never paid attention to the lure when she was near.

I'll stick with it. Even without so much as a bite, it's a nice walk up the river.

>>892343
>Finding the line slips through my fingers before i'm good to release it

This still happens to me with heavier lures or when I haven't been using a spinning reel for awhile.

>>892345
>>892343
I still have the couple damn rods where I get the line caught on the hook keepers while casting.

But yeah those 3/4oz+ spinners can be a bitch on spinning gear because of that. I like throwing those on memecasters but I find myself tossing smaller spinners like the Pond Magics more than huge ones. Also that chart and black Pond Magic is probably my favorite spinner.

>>892201
The only reason to go for a 10 over an 8 is the line weighs more and can drag a larger heavier fly at the cost of landing harder on the water. If you get a 9 weight you can sorta split the difference but I don't like drifting around line weights. I think the evens are best, and can all push up or down a weight depending on What you need

Honestly 85% of the time you'll be fne with an 8. The other
13% you'll have a heavy fly and want a little more line and that last 2% you'll have a fish make you wish you had more back bone
An 8 Will handle carp, salmon, and pike, along with heavy crawdad patterns for smallies

Haven't gotten to fish in a while. Went back to it today and got a nice trout on a lil phoebe spoon.

>>892357
alright, thanks. Ill talk with the guy at the fly shop on good rods to get. Hes got a shit load of st. croix and g. loomis fly rods that felt nice

is using 6lb momo leader on 20lb braid retarded?

my leader keeps snapping when i cast. should i just be re tying more often?

>>892368
If it's breaking at the knot it could be that you need to get better at tying. If the line is snapping I would bet your cast aren't smooth, or you're using way too heavy of a weight.

And it's not really retarded, just kind of defeats the purpose of having 20# braid.

I don't think so, same diameter. Is the splice holding and the mono just snapping?

>>892368
I use 6 lb flouro for my drop shot rigs when targeting smallies. Works fine for me

>>892366
Definitely get a good large arbor reel, and I'd reckon a moderate fast or fast action Will be good for pike (more line speed throw the bigger fly better at the cost of a delecate landing) but if you're willing to sacrifice distance a moderate Will give a better roll cast and land more gently (important for carp) as well as let you use lighter tippets and give more feed back during the cast

>>892537
Same, no idea why I keep buying them, then again this vid is the cause.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHRbxK10-bM

>>892537
You have to use them in very specific conditions. Normally in the spring, dusk or dawn, calm water, and when you can see the bass chasing baitfish on the surface.

Frogs can get bass in weed beds a little later into the summer too. They are so fun to fish with when the bass are hitting them.

I know a lot of you guys are shore fishermen but for anyone with a fishing boat here do you have any tips when buying a boat? I'm going to look at one this afternoon and am wondering if you guys have any tips on things to look for and what not. Any help is appreciated

I never fished with shiners before- when you buy them at a bait shop how do you get them?

Are you supposed to get your own bucket or something?

>>892615
yeah, gotta either have your own bucket or get one from them. Some shops will have cheap little Styrofoam buckets they will give you if you dont want to buy a nicer one you can keep using. The shiners usually come by the scoop. I usually get one scoop if im by myself and two if im with someone.

Just buy the styrofoam buckets for like $3. They will help keep the water cold and they will last a little longer.

Just remember shiners are normally kinda big so it depends what you are going for. Even small shiners can be like 3"-4", then there are fatheads and some other types that bait shops will have.

There are some goofy rigs on this pic but if I'm running under a bobber I will just hook them through the back. For river rigs and stuff, through the lip.

>>892537
I only have luck on topwater with panfish by just twitching a rapala every couple of seconds on the surface, bream and crappie smack the shit out of it.

In saltwater they work a lot better though. Cool days very early in the morning you can usually get something to strike a top water plug if you find bait.

Checked

Have you ever caught a snakehead?

When you get one, it is incredibly easy to tell just by looking at the head. It is unmistakeable when you see one. Plus their eyes aren't always red. When in doubt, look at the anal fin.

63KB, 640x479px

>>892666
>>892671
And if you were talking about the eyespot on the tail, that is actually why people confuse the fish because bowfin can have them. Like I said, if you can't immediately tell from the head (which should be obvious) the anal fin will give it away. On snakeheads, it runs the whole length of the tail and is much shorter on bowfin.

Pic related is a bowfin.

>>892698
That chartruese color seems to work when nothing else does. I have good luck with dark blacks and blues like Junebug.

For the swimbaits you could Texas rig them or get some weighted swimbait hooks like you see in the pic here. Otherwise you can just do a jighead but it won't be weedless. Weighted swimbait hooks are the best way to go since most are designed to work with those. And make sure you get the paddle tails. If you get Zooms, you want the Swimmin super flukes, the regular super flukes have that split tail and are better for drop shots or running on the bottom or as a trailer.

Anyone used the Jackall Boil Trigger? Looks like it'd be mint on the juvenile GTs and Indo Pacific Tarpon we get here in Aus

Anyone have any good resources on mat punching? There's a concrete pier near my brother's house that has tons of huge rockfish right off of it because the whole bottom is structure (boulders). The problem is that the kelp beds are very thick and for every fish I brought in i broke off 5+ rigs. Lost probably 25$ in jigs, plastics, hooks, and weights. Had fun though. A local told me to rig up heavier weight and punch the mats. Can I rig cut bait to be weedless or do I need to use plastics?

I still gotta work on my casting though cause my distance is atrocious. I get 10-15 feet, maybe. After that the line just falls down on itself and doesn't go out any farther. Practice makes perfect I guess. I might head back up there tomorrow

Tried out some root beer color grubs I got a month ago. The action was bad until I rigged them with the tail pointing up, then it improved and I got a lil trout. The river is super clear now, even clearer than during the summer. Gotta learn new tactics for these conditions.

I noticed my lateness. I was down in the stand most of today.

Did you take it out and test it first?

>>892878
Nope. Turned out the person who was selling it was a guy I graduated with. Dudes a clean freak with all of his toys and was only selling to pay off his new sled. I'm not too worried about it

>>892652
Better than anything you can make cunt I'm sure.

>>892880
Decent.

Has it been in saltwater or just fresh?

We used to test motors by running them in a clean trashcan full of water. This can be done to flush saltwater out if you need to store it for a long time.

Make sure the fuel tank lines are good and if it has a drain plug make sure to plug it everytime before you head out.

And read up on any boating laws for your area.

>>892883
Just fresh water. He was gunna start it with those flusher things you hook to the hose but he couldn't find them. I've been using a little 14' aluminum boat with a 9.5 hp on the back so I'm used to trailering and launching and all that so I should be good.

>>892800
They sell weedless hooks but I'm not sure how well they'll work for you

>>892862
Go on YouTube and find the or is casting guide
Even I can only fast 80 feet with a good double haul (27 yards give or take) but you should be able to get 30 feet in the air
Make sure you're getting a nice right loop or your fast Will be stopped by the wind
Do you know if your line is WF or DT?

Going to be 30° around sunrise

Is it even worth going out or will the bass be immobile?

>>892910

>>892911
Bass have been taken through the ice plenty, and water temp is what's important

>>892887
Sounds good.

Take it slow for the first few times hitting a wave/wake at the wrong speed and angle with a faster boat like that can fuck up your day. Also different hules perform differently so just be safe with it anon.

>>892800
I'm not sure. I've fished around kelp and trying to fish through the mat sounds like a nightmare. I would definitely use plastics over cut bait. Other than that I don't know what else you can change. What kind of line are you using?

>>892928
I went out with 20lb braid and a medium rod if I went back I think 40lb braid and a Med-heavy rod would be ideal. It'd let me throw a 3oz triangle sinker with a dropper rig and a weedless rigged plastic

Has literally nothing to do with the fact that you/he actually paid $60 for $3 worth of wood and assorted hardware or the fact that you/he are retarded and made a terrible purchase.

>>893044
Original Rapalas are the same thing. Some balsa wood, paint, hooks, and hardware. Plus it is Australia so everything is overpriced. It would be like spending $10ea on the lures in the US. Who cares.

>>893047
no it's like spending $12 usd on a tiny lure and 4 inch rapalas cost around $6-8.

I admit that I didn't realize he was australian at first and it was 60 usd but that's still a steep price for a couple of lures that work as well or worse as much cheaper options.

Spinner baits and jerk baits. If the pond is mostly grass throw a top water like a spook if you need to. And work them slow. Like a twitch every second or so on the jerk/spook. And retrieve the spinner bait just fast enough for the blades to spin.

Was out at round valley today.

Hooked up with a trout right near the surface- bit a shiner right at the shallows.

The spot was good, a lil pool that got a bit deep outside of the main lake.
I'm glad I learned how to spot a place with potential fish but I need work on hook ups obviously.

2nd bite I had took a spinner, yet again it escapes my hook. Swam towards me I think and got slack in the line.

The two fish both felt like I "had them" any tips on better hook setting?

>>893202
conservation therapy is possible. Shocking gay randomly won't work, but scientists can definitely find a way to turn off same sex attraction if they look hard enough. After all, sexual attraction is just chemical and electrical impulse. The subject is probably too taboo though so there aren't any scientists looking into it.

It's interesting that the same group that advocates for using chemicals / surgery to convert trans to opposite sex and create biological abomination also opposes conservation therapy for people who wishes to change their sexual orientation through science.

Florida redfish kayak anon AGAIN.

Seriously guys, I need help. I keep finding schools of 40+ inch redish. I've gotten ONE of them to bite and get hooked once on my first trip - how the fuck are you supposed to make these assholes take bait? I throw dozens of plastics at them and even tried some fresh mullet which they were feeding on and still couldn't make them take it. What the fuck am I doing wrong? I need to catch them so I can post validation pics here :^(

>>893317
i think that the holy grail for trans people would be some kind of procedure/medication that makes them cis again. That's what pretty much every trans person has ever told me they would have preferred when they realized that they were the way they were. I bet it would hold true for many homosexuals, as well.

You don't just assign scientists to "homo conversion research" like it's a fucking upgrade in starcraft. Nobody would even have any idea where to begin with that sort of thing, our knowledge of the brain is still basically in the dark ages in that regard.

>>893341
Use a net. Keep the biggest one?? You might need two kayaks and a buddy.

If they are for eating then I say using a net is best method.

>>893347
I'm just saying that if there is a mean to, the process to find it would be very difficult since science is heavily political. If we have states currently considering making conversion therapy illegal, we will not have any research done on it or any research done on it will be heavily discredit. Overwhelming majority of money in scientific research is from the government. There is no way around it.

One interesting thing about medical treatment is that many medical treatments are discovered and utilized before scientists fully understand how the treatment work. Sometimes it hurt people, but sometimes, it create treatments/medicine that save countless of lives. Nobody knows how vaccine works or even the existence of virus when vaccine was first discovered. Nobody knows how penicillin affects bacteria on cellular level when it was discovered. Right now, very little is known about cancer, but there are shit load of treatments being pushed to cancer patients anyway.

>>893367
I can see what you're saying, but I would still maintain that the "political" end of that equation is still a long ways from being relevant. It is still going to be a very long time before our understanding of the brain advances to the point where we can begin having some idea of how to reliably manipulate people's sexual orientations/gender identities (let alone safely), and anything being experimented with right now or in the near future is little more than blind flailings into the dark, motivated more by a sense of righteous vengeance than legitimate scientific inquiry.

Tried out the shrimp. You were right about it swimming upside down. I looked at the pattern again and realized they used a hook that has a bend near the eye (not quite an offset hook for a worm but similar). So I tied it again right side up.

Despite being a salt pattern, I tried it out in a lake. Didn't catch anything but I saw that something was chasing after it right as I pulled the fly out of the water. I was just fucking around shooting line out at empty water so I'm pretty confident it'll work when I actually try.

Realistically, the biggest problem is getting funding for that stuff. The amount of money a "real" scientist would spend getting actual answers about fish, vs the benefit it would provide to people funding, vs the benefit it would actually give fishermen is just not something that bodes well for super detailed fish research to happen.

I'm going to try to visit in the spring and do some fishing with my buddy.

Couldn't tell you man. I do neuroscience and biomedical type stuff and haven't even looked into marine biology since I was a kid. Honestly as far as science goes, I usually just laugh at ecologist types and what they try to pass off as science. If I have the resources that a real lab has and could do research on fish for fishing, I'd start running neuro imaging on them when they're presented with real food, map the pathways and neurotransmitters involved in the "go fucking eat it" response, and then present them with different baits and lures and whatnot to see what elicits a response in the same pathways, and then try it across several species at different water temps, times in breeding cycles and bodies of water.

As for the Japs, if those guys want to fund it, I'm all in.

>>893655
I agree about Pence just being assurance that the GOP will be able to work with Trump.

And the patient fishin buddy, that was one good thing about Miami anon. We started fishing in the middle of the fuckin summer when it was real slow for the bass, especially bigger ones. But she didn't even give a shit that they weren't biting much. I need to get her back out since the water is cooling off a bit. Dec-Feb is great for bass around here.

And I'm guessing a lot of the tackle companies get some R&D done, or at least take advice from the pros they sponsor but might be hesitant to release some of the information. There has to be a reason I'm paying $11 for a little piece of plastic with some hooks, right?

>>893659
>There has to be a reason I'm paying $11 for a little piece of plastic with some hooks, right?
I mean, I don't want to crush your spirits or anything, but honestly I think it's all just field testing and "proprietary methods" which means "complete bullshit." If they could actually be super scientific with it, then the tech they used to test this shit would be used for other stuff. Sadly, that tech doesn't exist right now.

As for fishing buddies, I've got a few that can hang pretty well, but honestly the best are my cousin's kids. They're 11 and 9, and they'll fish for 5 or 6 hours and then complain when I tell them I have to take them home. As long as I load up some snacks and a couple bottles of water, they're great, and they're usually well behaved. Bathroom isn't even an issue, these little fuckers will shit in the woods and then snapchat pictures of it to their friends because they think it's hilarious. They're actually pretty serious about fishing, too. Memecasters and lures, almost no live bait because they prefer the challenge. Occasionally they'll lose some of my lures or get stuck because they were fucking around, but most of the time they just sit and fish.

What's the difference between casting out and leaving your rod in a holder vs keeping it in your hands and reeling it in slowly + with some action?

When to do which?

I'm guessing cast and wait for live bait that's rigged such that the bait is at the level you want it at.

And cast and retrieve for lures?

Round Valley is a hell of a trout spot. Had some great luck there and even picked up a laker there.
That being said, there's not really much help I can give you. If you fit the hit just set the hook and hope for the best.
Trout have weird mouths that don't hold hooks as well.

I'm technically middle eastern but I have white skin and blue eyes (I could probably count the number of non-muslim non-arab middle easterns left alive on my fingers on toes but I'm one of them). Do you know what it's like to have someone go on and on about evil racist white people and oppressed minorities, and then to follow up with "My parents are immigrants from the middle east and my family gets killed on the regular over there. You don't know what actual oppression is," ?

I swear people's heads explode on the inside and they just melt down when they realize none of their cries of bigotry or white guilt work.

It's time you learn how to catch some real peacocks Pepsi. Take notes

You see in that video the butterfly peacocks don't get huge but man those fuckers fight. Those "trophy" ones looked like maybe 18". This guy from the other weekend was probably like 15"-16", I should measure it against that rod when I get home.

And then last weekend I got a reaction strike from one that was protecting its fry. Fucker slipped out of my hand before I could get a pic but he was ~16".

Would be fun to get an 18"+ one soon because when they get to that size they just bulk up instead of getting longer. I still need to explore more spots with good peacocks since most of the places real close to my house don't have em.

Pic related was one that is just on the verge of starting to get fat and change color patterns. Won't get much longer but will get fatter for sure.

Yes. Multiples.

But I also just recently started fishing spots with peacocks and actually targeting them so we'll see how the winter goes. 90% of the time I'm fishing, there are no peacocks in the water. And a lot of those spots with peacocks are the ultra clear water lakes that are a bitch to fish, especially in the summer.

I'm not saying that once they transition it's the end of the story, and cure was too extreme a word, but for many trans people transitioning helps but they still need counciling and possibly other medication
But one thing that would help is if people didn't call them biological monstrosities or push them into a bathroom that singled them out. I mean obviously depression and suicidal tendencies Will be exacerbated by shit like that

But when you make the transition it is the end of the world. Up until that point they thought this one thing was what the had to do to feel correct. Then when it's over and they are still mentally ill the only choice is eating 100 grains of lead.

This is the biggest jacksmelt I've ever seen in person. One day that I decide to bring something to keep some, I caught only exactly one.

>>893395
A cast net. A 12 footer is okay to start with. You kneel in your kayak. And toss it on the school. Like 2 seconds later the other guy tosses near the school too. Because they swim away from the net the other guy could be catching more then the first just depends how they are spooked.

Well the illness is gender dysphoria, not being comfortable with your current gender. Often times it can be cured by therapy alone, transition can also lead to cured, but there are plenty that never get cured. But how many are comfortable in their new skin then are driven to suicide by religious nutjobs calling them abominations, people denying them their new gender identity, being disowned by their family etc. If someone told their parents they were depressed and were disowned over it would it be any wonder that they blew their brains out? If that depressed person was routinely insulted for doing what makes them more comfortable why would anyone be surprised by suicide? Because depression and gender dysphoria often go hand in hand. It's the depression that kills them; not gender dysphoria

I'm in Northern Illinois, has the fishing season ended? I tried fishing the same spot with the same bait (for bass) that I caught one with the week before. A week ago they were jumping out of the water and biting within 5 mins but now there's no sign of them. My friend said that they have gone dormant until spring, is this true?

>>893858
Yeah so how about we treat them for their mental illness instead of making it worse by cutting their dicks off :^^)

>>893746
>but for many trans people transitioning helps
No it doesn't. It does not make them any less likely to off themselves. A liberal doctor patting himself on the back for being progressive does not mean the surgery helped.

>or push them into a bathroom that singled them out
Do you know what the phrase "singled them out" means?

>>893746

try having one for a child.... Wants to trans to female and while I support my kid I have issues that one day there will be regret. 16 years as he and god forbid my wife or I fuck up the pronoun. Also identifies as a lesbian so basically a born male dating females. Would have been far easier if just gay.
Anyways, back to fishing.... I need a 8-9 weight fly reel dammit and to learn how to fly...

though i picked up an weekend job ( on my weekends off ) good for an extra 16 hours a week paid in cash so maybe i will buy some fishing shit soon

>>893946
Yeah I need to save up for xmas so I probably won't buy anything for myself until after then.

That's a great deal on that Abu, they go for $500 normally but I want to get something different. Maybe a Daiwa or Lews, I already have 2 Abu memecasters.

Sup tripfags and anons? Should I keep spending time pier fishing at night? I have been out a few times and the bite is slower than in the day. Haven't caught anything nice yet, most often its just white croaker which are small and put up absolutely no fight. Pros are that I can do it after work and it gets dark at 5pm now so I have no other options

Pierfag here, November through January is really shitty for saltwater fishing. You might get a few bluefish and jacks if you're lucky. That's why I make fun of pepsi for missing snook season and the mullet run.

>>893970
I'm on the west coast tho, no bluefish or jacks to my knowledge

>>89149
I assume you are fishing inshore so I highly recommend (even though I'm not an avid saltwater angler, mostly fresh) a Z-Man trout eye jig head and any of their saltwater swimbaits, you can catch specs, red fish, flounder, snapper, pretty much the whole gallery on that setup.

>>893942
I would take it

>>893975
Kek. My problem is I can never figure out what I want to use and end up throwing 8 rods in the car.

It's shitty in west coast too, but this year has been warm so there are still stuffs around in november but thing will be slow until end of febuary when it's getting warmer again. There used to be surf perch fishing in winter, but they has been AWOL for the last 2 years from socal surf since it's a bit too warm for them lately. From march to october, that's where best fishing is. Summer is particularly productive with grunion run + anchovies run + sand crab resurface and you get halibuts, croakers, corbina coming in as well as the occassional white sea bass.

spring, summer, and early fall is where the best saltwater fishing at

>>894101

>>893770
its also full of worms.

>>893981
the pierfag that replied doesnt know what he is talking about.

>>894102
I think the rockfish are pretty consistent through the year too. And the sanddabs increase in the winter.

>>894109
Well I definitely won't eat the fish raw. Those saltwater worms die pretty easily in the cooking process and all sources I read point to that. They are pretty much in almost every fishes apparently but are more visible in jacksmelt's transparent meat. I avoid eating croakers though because they are really high on the health advisories list and chemical contaminants can't be removed in cooking process.

I don't keep fishes that often though. Nice perches, I haven't gotten any since water is too warm in socal. I've caught plenty of halibut and even one legal one this year but 0 perch from the surf


>>894110
I might hit the jetties in winter and see what I get then or I can just stick to freshwater during winter

>>893921
It bloody well does. Let's assume an Mtf trans person, MRI scans have shown that their brain isn't wired like a man's; from the core they're wired like a woman. But not all of them. Many children and adolescents grow out of gender dysphoria, but as she increases its more and more likely that they can't be turned cis, and for those indivituals many claim that transition helps a lot; the new hormones help level them off, and even long term they often agree that overall they are happier (actual statements from trans people) The dangerous mental illness is clinical depression, which honestly is very common in those with gender dysphoria. And the depression is often from a feeling of lack of acceptance for their new gender identity

>Do you know what the phrase "singled them out" means?
Look at the north carolina laws
If you were born a man but are now a woman you have to use the men's room legally (a beautiful trans woman was jailed over this) and it points them out and singled them out for hate. They just want to be a woman and keep their heads down 90%+ of the time and if they could just pre, and if people could accept that they're women (assuming you're not romantic with them) they would be a lot better off
They will probaly stull need therapy and even possibly medication to continue life happily.
>>893937
It is important to talk to them and let them know that it is very common for adolescents to be cured of gender dysphoeia without transition, and if that doesn't work, it's really the child's life. But it is important to talk them that almost all the procedures can be reversed to an extent but they can't be reversed entirely and once the sex change is done (adding Owen or removing) that's it, no turning back
I know people who were cured of gender dysphoria with therapy and ones who had to transition to find happiness, but it is important to try to find happiness in your birth gender but transition is a valid treatment, though possibly a bit extreme

Yo
I'm going fishing for the first all by myself in a couple days at my local pier since I'm a jew at heart and don't want to buy a license. I've got a shit tier rod and a few random old hooks my dad gave me when he was moving houses.
I guess my first question is what to use for bait, can I just go dig around my yard for worms?
second I was wondering if anyone had any tips on killing the fish, would a hammer work fine to just bop it on the head? Onetime i was fishing with my brother during a camping trip and the fucker wouldn't die and it would be really embarrassing to have to beat my fish into a bloody pulp in public

If they actually passed as a woman how the fuck would they be caught using a female bathroom? 99% of the people who "transition" still look like disgusting balding men in a dress.
