Went out for a quick afternoon trip with the wife and friend who's a much better photographer than I. It was real slow for the whole trip but I hooked an 80 lb halibut after an hour or so.

I just got a Tenkara and I've been practicing casting in a nearby field and I think I'm getting the hang of it. Anyone have recommendations for fly fishing mountain streams, or in general? I'm really psyched about the prospect of catching some trout (I'm in Colorado, for reference).

There is a guy in the TFR hiking thread who is a big tenkara nut and super nice and helpful.

I wasted most of one day chasing a 3 foot gar that was cruising around the dock. The lake I was on had almost 10 feet of visibility which continually broke my brain.

It's from people having sand pumped out just past their docks to make a little beaches, it also looks like some absurdly good summertime bass habitat.

Now you know why they sell those fishing float tubes with beer holders ;p But hey, looks like you had fun anyway. That'd actually work good with an anchor. Maybe go out there tied up to a cheap black innertube with FAD dangling down. Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Jun 2, 2017 |

My friend wants to go fish striped bass off the beach in Jersey. I don't think I need a fishing license in Jersey for non-commercial saltwater, correct? Just freshwater and shellfish?

We figured that the worst case scenario was we spent the day on the beach, and it was gorgeous out. It was a hell of a lot of fun, throwing a fish head leader attached to a 4 oz jig with an 11 foot rod is some seriously primordial poo poo. A guy right next to us caught a 39" striper but we got blanked. Also we got booze and oysters after, which was a great consolation prize.

Fish goons... here is what I believe to be a calico bass that I caught the other day. If you're looking for a GBS "spin" on fishing, check out the epic summer fishing thread in GBS. Cast off blast off! Happy casting! https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3823377&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1

 Largemouth, rock bass, and bluegill on tenkara rods last weekend. Been pulling smallmouth most mornings on the way to work, too. EDIT:  oh hey little guy Seriously, this tiny smallmouth ran like crazy and did all kinds of jumping acrobatics. Very impressive scrap for a six-inch fish. a foolish pianist fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Jun 23, 2017 |

 16"-ish largemouth, taken on a Nissin carp pole. Just tossing out frog poppers, tenkara-style. The thing fought hard, bent the 18' rod right in a circle. I let it run for two or three minutes to tire itself out, make sure it didn't break the tippet when I went to land it. EDIT: Then a fuckoff huge bluegill just flat swallowed that popper. C'est la vie, I guess. Forgot I'd gotten a photo of the bastard.  8" bluegill, and he'd completely swallowed the barrel of the popper. You can see the rubber legs poking out of its mouth. I just cut the line - there was no way to remove the hook without killing the fish, and I read that they're pretty good about unhooking themselves over time. a foolish pianist fucked around with this message at 05:02 on Jul 7, 2017 |

Driving up to Bishop CA this evening, going to rent a boat on South Lake and hopefully post some pictures of nice Rainbow Trout tomorrow. Here's an old picture of my pops with a big rear end rainbow.

The weather was awful at South Lake, which sits at about 9800ft. We didn't catch anything crazy, but between 5 of us we had 22 keepers in just under 4 hours.  Overall, was fun.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:Jesus man, were you fishing with dynamite? That's a hell of a haul We went up with what the locals suggested to my uncle, mouse tails (Berekley), fake nightcrawlers and chartreuse marshmallows, ended up killing it on rainbow power bait. They basically swarmed at one of the inlets and hookups were almost instantaneous once we figured out what they were biting on. All of these came in about 45 minutes after we figured where they were and what they were biting on. We went out to Intake 2 on Sunday and there were some MAJOR toads swimming around, probably 4-5lb planted fish, but they weren't hungry, just taunting the anglers

Post more photos! All I can pull out of my pond are LMB so it's interesting to see anything else. I may get desperate and start going after the little guys in my backyard. If I was going to target little guys like blue gills and other panfish, what should I throw out there?

I prefer to fish for them with moving lures, like tiny cranks and inline spinners. I do swap the trebles with single hooks and pinch the barbs down. You still catch a ton of fish but you can clearly realse like 99% of them. The 1% will somehow manage to be a super dink that hits a hook hard enough to drive it through it's own head.

I don't catch too many bass from the shoreline for whatever reason, it seems to be mostly little guys around there. I'd prefer to just load up my light action rod for them
