>>967534
I'm keep thinking of getting a CDL just for shits & giggles in case my current cushy job ever disappears. My company is turning into a suck-fest where the upper management has no clue and is killing the company. It's sad. Been there almost 20 years and love my job and clients.

>>967551
I mean a lot of schools are flexible with the hours so you can still get the Class A while working your 9-5 job. It's never a bad thing to have, but the industry is kinda fucked up. It's like so many other blue collar jobs where you used to be able to live comfortably on the salary but now you can barely afford rent. And too many retarded people trying to get into it so big companies would rather hire, train, and lose 20 guys while paying them $35k/yr instead of keeping one good guy around for 20 years and paying him $60k. Plus if you get your Class A and don't have experience, you either have to do OTR (over the road) and get like 2 days home a month or you can try to get a local gig like mine where you have to bust your ass with physical labor.

>>967547
I thought about it.

>>967544
fun fact. $33k in 2017 is essentially the equialent in 1984 $ as what I made as a kitchen slave.

>>I kind of hate how some really nice spots that are hidden away are posted, but i guess that compliments the fact that it stays a nice spot over time.

>This is a legit tactic to protect your secret spot. It doesn't matter who owns the land. No one ever takes the signs down if you put them up, but other fishermen usually stop at the signs.

What about people that actually own the property? Most of the spots id like to fish are actually on private property, figure that out from tax/property maps.

I have no idea what the laws are about when it comes to soley on the water however. Like not ever setting foot on the land.

Another odd question is what is considered their land if they dont own the body of water? If it floods over? if it's shallow from drought?

>>967559

it's cold and windy as fuck which is even more of a slap in the face.

>>967559
i think that unless the own all of the land around the water they do not own the water, nobody can own rivers. so if the water is higher they have less land that year. if its public water and you dont step foot on land you're not tresspassing. i know some places you get a certain amount of feet from the waterline that is public as well

there's usually an easement which is public property. around here its the 6' from the high water mark. might want to look into it for your area.

>>967559
depend where you live, where im at don at the shore anything below high tide line is public properly as long as you canget there legally

>>967561
This.

That's what I do. Most say yes. Some with some things like "catch and release only" or "give us half your catch" etc. People rarely say no.

As for laws you need to research that for your area.

How about get a boat?

I love that people are so stupid they will pay more money for a frozen ballyhoo because it's sealed in plastic with a robot ballyhoo drawing on it.

Frozen bait sucks as anyway. It all falls off the hook. Squid is the only one that stays on.

>>967564
I know a lot of guys who don't really care about fishing but they've still been doing it their entire lives and definitely know what they're doing. Because its a part of their lifestyle and culture, unlike suburban bass memecaster types.

I have seen those in bait shops a bunch. I guess they're nice and easy because they are all rigged up with a wire leader. Should solve the problem of them falling off so easily. That company sells squid and stuff too I think.

If I took that job, I'm sure I could get in on some good fishing spots. But is that worth losing $20k a year?

>>967632
No lol.

>>967632
That additional 20k could go to a boat or long international trip.

Not making assumptions about your opinion on live bait, but that raises a question.
Are people against live bait?

>>967710
>Are people against live bait?

Only people who have buyer's remorse.

>>967710
I just see a divide. I categorize people around where I live as either bass fishermen or freshwater fishermen. The bass fishermen are more sporty about it and would rather catch a fish by working a lure, while freshwater fishermen will target catfish, crappie, carp etc and are more likely to use live bait. And obviously people that do everything. But bass fishermen are usually wealthy suburban types while freshwater guys are rednecks or Mexicans, but I'm stereotyping. Either way, there are just times where bass will crush minnows all day but aren't going to touch a hard plastic lure no matter which one you throw. So you can't get mad at the redneck casual fisherman just because he decides to use a more practical method of fishing.

>>967714
live bait is expensive as fuck But it works

>>967710
I think it's more that it really doesn't take much skill to use live bait, compared to lures.

try brining frozen baits. it toughens baits up significantly. add some bait brite and their scales shine up for natural bait flash.

Use circle hooks to prevent that.

>>967710

I'd rather get skunked trying to trick fish in to eating artificials than catch fish sitting around with live bait most days. I spent enough of my childhood using bait, just seems very boring and unrewarding to me now.

They're not very durable but they work really good. I have mend-it so I fix all of my soft plastics in seconds anyways.

Nice fish, I really need to go fishing in the Indian river one day. They have nice snook there. Landshark Fishing on youtube does tons of Indian river fishing videos so you can pick up some tips there. I've heard small pink soft plastics are working really good over there now.

>>967929
Why even use live bait at that point though? If you're fishing for bass you might as well use a lure if you're gonna be putting all the action into it yourself.

Fish will bite on most anything. You just need to know when/where to use it.

>>967971
Yeah that's kinda the point tho. Some of these $20 baits are getting so ridiculous and complicated and it is just too much. And it's funny because I'm the guy always buying new lures but I would rather not catch anything that being a tryhard with a $25 Megabass PropperChat Buzzbait sprayed with Ultrabass hormone infused scent that cost $45 for a 4oz bottle.

>>967974
>hormone infused scent

The scent scene is crazy. There's even "coffee scented" shit out there; for fish who need a boost to get started in the morning.

>>967976
I think the coffee scent has been around for awhile. I believe the Strike King KVD Caffeine Shads have coffee scent/flavor. They actually smell kind of sweet and those are my favorite paddle tails.

>>967976
I bought some KVD soft plastics the other day but didn't notice that they were coffee scented until I got home and opened them. I don't really get it, smells nasty though.

>>967977
>>967978
It is literally, "Oh hey! I love coffee! Oh Look! Coffee Scented Fishing Lures!!! HOLY FUCK!!! LOL!" *buys ten*

People with sense are, *buys ten, gets home, reads packaging* "What the fuck is this shit?"

God forbid they get 1 fish on it. From then on nothing but coffee scented shit will do for them.

Are hooks that come with the weed less line loop already attached a meme? I bought some and I'm wondering if it would be better just to tie it myself. Is it difficult?

Spotted sea trout, like the others are saying, not a rainbow. Also it's not actually a trout, but rather a member of the drum family. Nice catch by the way

speckled trout do have teeth, I either hold them in the gills or use a lip gripper the former of which usually kills the fish.

the warmer waters makes the skin on your feet soft. sand gets in between. ever spent a day in the surf walking a few miles up and down a beach dragging fish up the sand you'll realize why afterwards. sand will chafe your feet to the point that you cant even walk at the end of the day. the socks prevent that from happening. the better socks also have thin neoprene bottoms to pad from pebbles.

location, location, location
The boat would make it viable as you would have no rent other than your mooring. You can travel to where the bite is on. Expense of the boat itself, maintenance and any licensing fees.

One of those shacks in a prime location is going to run a lot of $$$. Most bait shops around here are at least 1/2-1 mile from the water.

>>968216
>But why not just use regular socks?

It really depends on the sock type and environment you are getting your feet wet. Sand chafes madly. Any socks will be better than no socks. Socks that keep sand out are best. Socks are intended to take on the slippage of the footwear on the outside of the sock and stick to your skin without moving across the skin. Any sock movement across your skin can result in a blister.

Normal, everyday socks react differently when they are wet. Some tighten up in places and loosen in others. A loose section will slip across the skin as you walk and start a blister. Socks designed for underwater use and waterproof socks are normally made form materials that do not loosen up while wet.

Because truthfully you just can't beat live bait most the times. I used 10 different lures with and without procure the other day and the only thing to produce with MM with a jig head. Plastics are fun and all, but natural is best half the time at least

Anybody got advice on a jig pitching rod for panfish?

I have a fenwick eagle I will use for heavier jigs,spinners, and cranks.

Ordered a 5'5" b&m ultralight but I plan to keep that set up for a slip bobber rig.

Basically looking for something to cast around 1/32 oz jigs for bluegill mainly. I've been looking at the st croix panfish series in 6'9" but I'd have to save up a bit more for it.

http://www.fishingtackleshop.com.au/products/50-off-abu-garcia-cardinal-bt4050-bait-teaser-reel.html

I was going for the heavy action rod because it seems better for casting and can put more weight (if what I read is correct with action and the rod rating on website).
The reel one of cheapest on the site, I read pastebin saying get 5000 reel, that one says 'size 50' but also 4050, but then I read size 50 is same as size 5000? Other combos I see for 12ft use a 6500 reel too
Should get bigger size reel or that size 50 one be fine?

Is size mainly just for running heavier line?

both cheapest I could see, just looking for cheap to buy to try it out.

With sinker/cast weight size too, most the rods say recommend 20-80g cast weight but I see lots of people use 100-140g sinkers for surf fishing

I don't hate it, I simply prefer lure. Live bait does make thing easier in many situation even it's more boring.

Lure is simply for fun and interactive. Live bait is good but there's a lot of logistic that keeps me from using them on a casual fishing trip.

It's a pain to acquire and maintain. If you buy them, then you need to keep a tank to keep them alive

If you use dead bait, they will spoil less than one hour in the sun so you need a cooler.

It's not great if you shore fish and have drag all that shit with you while moving spot to spot.

Worm is easiest one to find/buy and keep.

The only live bait is sand crab because live bais are only things that can catch corbina in the surf most of the time. Fly fishing works sometimes but I don't get there yet.

Even when they are pretty resilent and easy to store and relatively easy to catch, it's still hassle. I would need something to dig the sand. Hand digging is possible and it takes too long to gather enough of the perfect size for fishing, especially when they big ones can dig much much faster and deeper than the 100x numerous baby ones.

And the only reason they are a problem is because the river doesn't flow fast enough anymore so the salmon take longer and spend more energy going from where they hatch to the ocean, so they are getting eaten at an unnatural rate. Otherwise the pikeminnow would be a harmless native fish.

All I remember is it was some neighbor kid who keeps calling Hank an old man and "dusty old bones" and Hank is furious because he can't really do anything about it.

Did you honestly miss that grade A fly fishing joke Zuriss made? The girl is even holding a fly rod. Come on man!

On the up side it was the right choice. Tons of other children lost their poles that day, though most just snapped the lines all the time. I think only 3 children actually caught some baitfish. I think if I had the knowledge then that I have today, I'd have used a handline.

pepsi told me to target bass

>>970032
Pepsi has never even caught a decent sized bass. Not the kind of person you take advice from tbfh. That's why they call him the dink master.

It's really cool mang. I remember the first time I saw the ocean was at surf side beach. There's this really steep bridge and when you crest it you see the ocean and it never fails to get me excited.

I'm sorry

>>970060
Yup

>>970127
Yeah, I mean I guess that's a lot of water.

Anyone here ever try a ned rig? Is it worth it?

>>970176
yes and yeah

>>970177
What shroomz weight should I get and what are some good colors?

>>970179
How deep is the water you are going to be in? I usually just go anywhere from 1-10th to 1-5th ounce.

For colors just match the color of the bottom where you are fishing. If the water is dirty, pick a dark color

No.

My mom works in the OR and she was telling me a story a year or two ago how she had to remove an apple from some guy's ass. Skid sure does get around.

>>970256
A friend of mine keep telling me about the time they had to remove a guy's penis from a glass bottle and had to fly in a special machine that was SPECIALLY DESIGNED TO REMOVE PENISES FROM GLASS BOTTLES. Evidently it happens a lot.

My sister works hospice too. She won't shut the fuck up.

That place is fun to catch a bunch of dink rockfish and perch but the coast guard will yell at you if you stand on the wall. It kinda ruins it for me having to fish over a fence when I could be having such an easier time.
