rod action will also have an effect when you're actually fighting the fish. a slow rod will make it easier to keep it pinned when it makes a sudden run because you've got more flex in the rod to absorb it.

Best price would be great so I don't feel AS stupid casting into a tree. cabela's online is decent, tackle warehouse is good but pretty much only for bass stuff.

A+ site, especially if you live in California and you can get the $5.75 overnight shipping. that's one thing I forgot to mention about them - they're pretty slow to to ship sometimes. I put in an order and they didn't even pack it up for a couple days, and then another few to get to me. Cabela's has poo poo to me in 2 days mostly.

KingKapalone posted:I'll check out Dick's online first then. Any good fishing apps to recommend? Trying to decide what our route for Boundary Waters will be and camping by some good spots would be nice. fishbrain will show you where other people caught things, but honestly you'll be better served by learning to read topo maps. then you won't need an app.

You'll pretty much need to reset it for each fish. I want it just loose enough that the fish can barely pull line out, but tight enough that I can still pull it in.

oh excuse me, they've only been here for the last 150 years  they're super destructive though, we might have to do something if they keep it up for another hundred years or so edit: lol just started reading about bass - "The largemouth bass has been introduced into many other regions and countries due to its popularity as a sport fish. It causes the decline, displacement or extinctions of species in its new habitat through predation and competition,[31] for example in Namibia. They are also an invasive species in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, and are on the watch list across much of the far northern US and Canada. In colder waters, these fish are often a danger to native fish fry such as salmon and trout.[32] They have also been blamed for the extinction of the Atitlan grebe, a large waterbird which once inhabited Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.[33] In 2011, researchers found that in streams and rivers in the Iberian Peninsula, juvenile largemouth bass were able to demonstrate trophic plasticity, meaning that they were able to adjust their feeding habits to obtain the necessary amount of energy needed to survive. The ability to do such, allows them to be successful as invasive species in relatively stable aquatic food webs.[34] Similarly, a study done in Japan showed that the introduction of both largemouth bass and bluegill into farm ponds have caused increases in the numbers of benthic organisms, resulting from the predation on fishes, crustaceans, and nymphal odonates by the bass.[35] The largemouth bass has been causing sharp decreases in native fish populations in Japan since 1996, especially in bitterling fish in Lake Izunuma-Uchinuma.[36]" Ghostnuke fucked around with this message at 00:47 on May 18, 2021 |
