-
Ugly Sticks
oh yea if i was only going to get a him baitcaster i would get him one so i could put all my 200$ towards it, i couldn't imagine using a 50$ baitcaster..
-
Braid vs. Rocks.
i have never used braid but i think people use leaders for 2 reasons, so the fish cant see it and then so if the get a snag the leader will break off and they wont loose a ton of line, but im not sure.

After the Rain
the lakes around me which are like huge ponds get like chocolate milk, you cant see 6 inch downs but im sure you can catch something in it when its like that. for you if they dont get choco milk i would def fish them

Ugly Sticks
i tried to talk my dad into getting a baitcaster but he remembers the backlashes from them when he was a kid lol
-
After the Rain
ive never fished after the rain, i wait a couple days for them to get back to normal clarity, just never had much interest in fishing in chocolate milk but i know people who do it. Probably something that makes alot of noise and has alot of water displacement. goo luck, im sure you'll get better answers than mine LOL

Ugly Sticks
im looking into getting a couple spinning combos for bass for me and my dad and they are about 50$ a piece. Has anyone ever used these? i know they aren't top of the line, i would by a really nice one if i was only buying one but i'm buying a couple. Are these worth it?

Zoom Brush Hogs
try yum dingers, if im not mistaken there as cheap or cheaper and i honestly think they perform as well as senkos.
-
Upper Allegheny River PA

-
Pennsylvania Spring!
probably finesse worms and senkos, also roostertails. I live in Pittsburgh too, where do you fish locally?

how to catch fish on a high pressure lake

how to catch fish on a high pressure lake
ok the lakes i fish, could be called big ponds. they arent very big. one of them where there are big bass is about 300 yards long and about 100 wide. It has an island out into the lake about 20 yards of shore with a walkway were everyone seems to fish. I usually fish by the dam and by fallen trees, almost never on the island cause they are a million carp/bass fisherman. If bass are highly pressured should i use plastics? i wanted to try cranks this year but if its high pressure lake i dont know if they'd take it. Oh and i fish off the shore so i can not tell underwater structure. So it'd be cool if you guys could give me some help

Trout lures?
lol guys all i use is roostertails and panther martins! they produce nice fish.
-
Anyone else use combos for multiple techniques?
i use my 6'6" med fast for everything! lol. i fish from the bank and carrying a tackle box, thats enough for me. i tried bringing more than one rod and let me tell you, it is a pain!!!
-
ultra light gear for trout
yea my rod was only like 20 but i matched it with like a 60 dollar reel. it got alot of use before i got my baitcaster, i was landing 3 lb largemouth on it! it was so fun i might just have to bring it w/ me bass fishing again. they couldnt resist my little trout rooster tails!
-
Do you switch hands when you cast a baitcaster?
nope, since i learned on a spinning reel i though it was supposed to be the same with it on the left, but i learned that people cast and reel w/ the same hand and i thought it was weird, so all i use i lefty baitcasters

how to rig this

Need suggestions for ice out river fishing
inlines will catch you small mouth all day long. I like the 3/8 white roostertail for smallies. i also have some mepps and blue fox inlines. Jointed rapalas will catch you alot of walleye
-
Favorite bass show?
fishing city limits, Icanelli relates to people who dont have lakes/rivers that produce 6 pounds fish. Good show
-
Trout lures?
im getting ready for trout and have about 40 spinners i use and some very small rapalas, i always use these and want to try other lures. But are there any other lures for trout? it seems to me either spinners, rapalas, or live bait! but any suggestions on lures i could try?
