I don't have anywhere to fish until I get my boat built out, and that won't be until over the winter. Send help.

Get a map out and hike a little to find something different? Pull a City Fishing or whatever that show was and go around your town to all the docks you never thought there would be lunkers and see what's lurking?

Lemme know if you are looking for a particular style of lure kobold. I've been slowly collecting mold maker's sites to keep an eye on for interesting stuff. But my first few are strictly going to be baits I wanna have. Also, lemme know if you find an injector with a locking tip AND a drat handle. I have yet to find one thats not an addon for overpriced af.  LingcodKilla posted:I’ll buy you the big hoochy pattern if you do.

Oh drat, I found the one I was actually looking for! https://anglingai.com/8-single-tail-grub-mold/ Honestly, I just wanna get good enough to start doing a laminate in the future. I wanna recreate the perch pattern keitech has in their swimbaits and expand it to other stuff.

Any advice for a fly tying vise? The prices on them go from sane to nuts really quick. I'd prefer not to spend hundreds of bucks on one, but I dont want to low ball it too hard and have a frustrating time.

Driving limited? There are so many options you can get anything, really. Even green lake got stocked with fuggin tiger muskie lmao. Also you can always go hit up outdoor emporium and shoot the poo poo with people who work there Edit: if you havent been out in a long time I really want to show you what catching a big dogfish is like Lingcodkilla for some reason I thought you moved.

I'll have a car after a couple of weeks but no access to a boat. It's been a long time since I've fished but when I was a kid it was mostly fresh water (river and pond) bait fishing but no experience with fly or cat and retrieve.

I decided to splurge on the best sub-$150 vise I could get, which was the stonfo airone. You can find it online for pretty good prices on sale. It’s compact, easy to set up, and has a great vise clamp for even midges down to 22.

Welp, I am back in Florida for a trip. My fishing license is still valid, so I think I'll try to get out to the estuary. I want to pick up a new light tackle spinning combo. I love my beater daiwa dshock, what's a good step up from that? Looking to spend about a hundred bucks, probably less. 6lb line, mostly freshwater but I'd like salt hardiness. Already have an UglyStik, wouldn't mind another one if that's the best in the price range. Suspect Bucket fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Sep 13, 2019 |

I took the kayak out tonight to try and do some spotlighting for gars. Ended up with 3 gars, but saw plenty more. I think the issue was that I was using a head torch, there's a bunch of videos showing them being attracted to underwater lights so I've ordered a flounder light to see if that helps. There was heaps of life out there, some big flatties that were either too deep to net or too wary for me to get the net under, a huge snook that would've been as thick as my arm, some small whiting, big mullet, heaps of baby rays and puffers. I scooped up a few puffers to make them inflate and also went for the tail grab on some banjo sharks that were chilling out in the shallows. The downside was I managed to snap the handle of the rudder lever so I'll need to sort out a replacement for that somewhere.

There's plenty of good spots for floundering near me too. Everywhere I've drawn in red is shallow a long way out and probably holds shitloads of them.  I think I'll mainly focus on the gars though, they make amazing baits and being out on the water in the kayak on a glassed out night is awesome.

I'm going river salmon fishing next weekend, thinking about getting a rod and reel for it because my only spinning setup is ultralight. Anyone have any recommendations? If it's something that could do double duty for pike or lake trout or just as an extra bass rig too that'd be great.

I'm planning on starting out with pretty standard, multipurpose molds (twist tail grubs, senkos, etc) and trolling lure skirts at first. I'd like to make some of the weird creature designs someday, but I don't even know how to fish those.

Any resources on Seattle/Washington fishing to help someone who hasn't really been fishing since he was 10? There are a handful of fishing goons out here. You're going to be near Green Lake, too, which has a lot of stocked and holdover trout, some bass, and loving enormous carp and channel catfish. Last summer a guy caught a 45 lb channel cat:  Harry Potter on Ice posted:Even green lake got stocked with fuggin tiger muskie lmao. I read that in one of my guidebooks, but as far as I can tell they stocked some in there like 20 years ago and haven't since.

I adore my Ark Sniper and Abu Garcia MGX setup for all around baitcaster work. I bought the reel 6ish years ago, the rod this year. Just a match made in heaven.  Edit: And the Megabass Levante ML spinning rod I got a few months back has been absolutely awesome. I just wish I could decide on a reel for it. I keep bouncing between a 2000 size Daiwa Tatula or Kaga and a 13Fishing Prototype X. For now the 6 year old Abu Garcia Revo Inshore size 30 reel is doing work on its own though.

I caught my PB smallest fish today out of the Grand River. You know when you throw a spinner or a spoon and all those baitfish follow it in but they're too small to bite it? One bit it. Gotta respect him for it.

gently caress. Two days ago the coho were boiling the water 10ft from shore in town and I didn’t have my rod. Yesterday, nothing. I had my rod. Stupid fish.

My flounder light arrived today, I'm off to the hardware store to get the parts for an extra long kage gaff to use as a spear. I'm basing it on this: https://anglerwithin.com/how-to-make-a-spear-gaff/ Good chance I'll have put the thing through my foot before the end of the year.
