  1. If I'm cat fishing I do because it passes the time while waiting for my pole to touch its feet. But I will if its slow and thinking about going home.
  2. Right after I put braid of my first baitcaster I must have not tightened the reel all the way to the rod because when I casted, the lure it the water, and my reel hit the water. I just keep pulling the line until the bait caster came up.
  3. I was overhand casting. And my rod and reel is set up for such a light line. It's a bad habit of mine because of bank fishing. And trying to get it out longer
  4. I use poppers and buzzbaits. They are both awesome. I use buzzbaits to cover ground. But if the top water is going off than a popper will be used. It's all trial and error. Can't go work.
  5. If you need testers I will be one so send them my way.
  6. I might have snap casted once but that might cause wind knots but not breakage.
  7. Like February of this year.
  8. But nothing around while casting.
  9. Fireline 12# and around laydowns. And my eyelids are good
  10. I did and it feels fine to me
  11. I had both times had rat'l traps on them. Could it be the hook slicing them?
  12. Twice today my braid line snap on my spinning rig. Once was a little above the bale and the second time it snapped half way bwtween the first and second rod eyelid. What could cause this.
  13. Is that overkill. I think it said it equals to 12 # mono
  14. Powerpro 65# braid for $10 at Walmart.
  15. I fish in muddy /stain at best waters here in northern Va so I don't think I will use a leader but might keep some around in the off chance I fish a clear lake.
  16. Just switched my main line to Berkleys fire line 30# I was wondering of I need to have a leader or not. This is the first time i have used braid. Can someone help me or educate me. And if you do what kind of leader
  17. I use a 6/6 m/f Abu for all my worm fishing and a mh/f for my jigs and spinnerbaits. It's all in the set up and how you fish it or use it when you have a fish on. I think the pros go up one because there are money on the line.
  18. Welcome back! Are you near FT Belvoir.
  19. I have a Bill Dance BC for my first one. I like it. I just didn't want to buy a expensive unit and then turn around and hate it. But It is easy to use and not to bad a bird nests now.
  20. I'm new at fishing in muddy waters. Can't see my bait past 6 inches. So I'm wondering if I just fish with lures that make noise. Any help?
  21. I'm headed out tomorrow or to a res that is in I think Boone park. A friend was telling me about it.
  22. I call them Croppie, because I don't want my 3 year old running around saying crap-pie. They tend to pick up bad words a lot better than regular words around my house.
  23. Nice. Looking forward to Frog fishing.
  24. Can you fish them by grass and fallen trees or is it only by lilly pads. I say this because it depends of the water level for me, sometimes I can get to the pads sometimes I cant.
