ITT: We love to fish

[Baba_ghanoush]

east cape is where its at. taking my buddy to cabo so he can get the partying out of his system. then hitting east cape next year. i stayed at the Palmas de Cortez

edit: AZ brah^ youre huge dude.

hahaha fuk yeah dude, we stayed at punta colorada. Lots of good surf fishing too so bring a surf rod and spinning reel and some spoons! One day we literally caught striped marlin till my hands were bleeding...fukkers were everywhere, using light tackle like 25-30lb test made it fun as shi.t. Litterally we wouldnt be trolling for more than 10 minutes everytime before we would see one or have one hit the teasers. Multiple double hookups too. Probably one of the most fun days fishing ive ever had!

I have always wanted to go sight/surf fish in Mexico... Perhaps a Misc Fishing Trip should be planned...

Any of you brahs end up in the PNW. I got a spot for you in the boat. No homo.

Just created an account at http://www.crappie.com/ to ask this question but I'll ask it here also.

Someone mind posting a checklist of what to buy to get started out? Went crappie fishing with the wife and father-in-law over the weekend but want to get my own stuff instead of using his. He gave me a tacklebox full of stuff but haven't looked to see what's in it yet.

Will be fishing in Illinois (Carlyle, Kincaid, Rend Lake) and anywhere in Missouri fish come out of lol (since that's where I live).

Don't know anything about this anymore and haven't fished since my grandfather passed 10 years ago.

I've heard great things about Carlyle, Kincaid, Rend Lake, and Devils Kitchen..

I live about 2 hours north of Carbondale, I'll be heading down to Kincaid, Rend Lake, and Devils Kitchen for Bass fishing in a few weeks .

Don't worry about spending a bunch of money on fishing poles/lures etc.....I catch all of my Carppie on warms, GREEN Crappie jigs, and minnows.

I've caught countless bass, muskie, perch, crappie, etc. But never a trout. Gonna try fly fishing this year but heavy rains are keeping the waters rushing so far. They just stocked a bunch of rainbows in a lake nearby, might go tomorrow if I can get the time. How do I catch them?

Also, how do you guys kill and take home fish for eating? Do you kill right away? How? Do you bring ice with you to the lake? Not sure wtf to do but if I catch some rainbows I might wanna eat them.

for stocker size trout, use the lightes line 4lb test max. little tiny hook with a small split shot 18" up from the hook. little bit of powerbait, or a couple power eggs, or some salmon eggs, something like that for bait. cast it out and just let it sit there. check it occasionaly for weeds on your bait. if its a little shallow lake and im fishing from shore, i like to start at the deepest spot.

i only keep walleyes or crappie so if im on my boat i usually try to keep them alive as long as possible in the well. then just throw them on ice in a cooler on the way home. if i was trout fishing from the shore and wanted to keep some, i would throw them on a stringer and toss em in the water near me.

We almost went to Crab Orchard Sunday, but I didn't want to stay too long because I had to work Monday and hate getting back in town late. Ate lunch at 17th Street Bar & Grill in Murphysboro, good stuff. Her dad fishes in tourneys all over the place and knows the lakes pretty well. But he also knows a lot people and they share info of the spots to fish, who's been catching what, where, etc.

roosterfish in costa rica a couple years back...the most pretty fish ever!!!

dream catch for me. awesome!

[crss1]

I live in Florida and have caught a bunch of snook...but I think my biggest ever was 6-7 lbs. Mind = blown at the size of some snook I see pics of. The guy who installed my home alarm showed me a pic of him with a 40+ lbs snook (wtf?)

when will it be my turn?

where in Florida are you?

Dude...you do not want to be going "off shore" in a 5k boat.

If you have a 5 k boat, you won't be able to go very far , I mean it's cool if you want to go maybe 500 yard off the beach but you'll be too tempted to go farther and that's not a good idea...

this guy would probably take 5. go farther than you ever wanted. sure, she might need some TLC but if you had an imagination

im shocked at how cheap some bass boats are. I was looking at bass trackers and brand new ones on their website are at 8-10k. soon.jpg can't wait to get out of college and get a job. granted they don't have 200hp motors but heck i don't need a fast one just to fish in my free time


will it ever be mine turn for a Nitro Z9???!?! HNNNNGHHHH

[AdamsAwesome]

Used to fish all the time on my family's montana property lake. Then the ******* state government decided they wanted to see how much water was in the lake so it had to be dredged. Pretty sure there was some legal hoodwinking going on, but the deed is done.

Haven't had good sized fish for years now and its silted up. Soon.jpg I hope. Still good lakes around to fish in but the convenience was nice. Dem rainbow trouts.

dude if youre not that hardcore, mono is really all you need. its the cheapest and pretty versatile. i mostly use fluorocarbon, less stretch = more sensative. it also sinks. mono floats. braid is cool for many applications, i just dont like to use it personally because to me its a pain to work with.

ok, good, ... I'll do a little more research before grabbing whatever I get next time, just needed a light line to try my hand a lake rainbows.

Does like go bad ever or pick up too much spool memory over time? Lines I have had sitting around for 10+ years, are they still good?

[DoubleChub]

Going out this weekend for some trout fishing. will post results

just depends man. ya it will pick up memory, shouldnt go bad really. supposedly UV light can make it deteriorate over time, so if you keep your reels stored it should last a long time.

Looking on Ebay and I can get a Quantum Smoke Reel for $150 shipped. Very, very tempting!

Hope everyone gets to wet a line somewhere this weekend. I have tomorrow off so I'll be shore fishing the Mississippi River tomorrow.
