put it back, bigger catfish dont have the best tasting meat on them

He came out guns blazing, and so i did too.

I had just come back from riding horses. Thanks guys

The trot line goes to the bottom of the lake, we put a brick in the middle so it would sink, us and this old man are pretty much the only people that use the lake. If he was a kind old man i think he would let it fly, now if he cuts our trot line that we put on my friends property, were gonna have a serious problem

Off a cut hotdog, weighed 24lbs it was on a jug

I have luck with cheap cheap hotdogs, and buy some dog food and throw it out,

Didnt know where else to put this topic and yes im aware this is a bass forum but i didnt have anywhere else to put it, Recently we have been running a trot line with livers and hotdogs in my friends lake, small lake id say 8 acres or so, maybe smaller, we ran the line from one side to the other, worked on making it all day long, and one side we tied it on we noticed it fell off into the water, we didnt think it came untied. I tied a really really good not, To a tree at the edge of the water/bank. So we picked it up from the other side and re tied it. Today we had a Noodle out in a shallow part of the lake, this man was fishing and all of a sudden he picks it up while were sitting on the back porch, and throws it on the bank. I yell "Hey what the hell are you doing?" he says "come get it" i went out there to get it, i told him what makes him think he can pick up my noodle i set out like that? He proclaims "Its on my property i can do whatever i want" I said Sir when you bought your house you didnt buy the water, he says my property line goes into the water, I told him i didnt think that was true, i asked if he was the guy who was messing with our trotlines and he told me he has, i told him were just a bunch of kids trying to have fun, he told me "this isnt a lake for running trotlines and jugging son" i told him we could argue alll day but its not right for him to move my jugs and cut my trotlines As far as im concerned, is he right here? In fishermans law i guess you could say hes wrong and you dont mess with another mans stuff, I put my noodle back out and rebaited it, Am i right here for saying something to him? I thought on lakes 5 feet on the shore was private property, What should i do next time he messes with our stuff? What should i do? Give me some help

Went to the lake where i caught my big one this evening, got out there about 530, fished from one spot and did not move, first cast i caught a dink on a smokin silver super fluke (my favorite bait). Caught 3 more then it died down, my buddy was slaying them on a junebug u-tail with a weight, i switched to that and tied on a smaller hook and weight, first cast let it sink a foot or too, began to reel and i felt her take it, i set the hook and then she got off, keep in mind i was using 14 lb cajun line, and a meadium heavy action carrot stix. It was a big fish for sure, last time i ever use that cajun line, back to the green berkely trilene! I ran out of palm trees but im sure they would be spot on out there. Weather was nice, not to hot not to cold, oh and i forgot to mention were fishing heavy grass with trees above us.

Planning a trip with my dad next summer for sure!

Props to taking your son fishing, something he will never forget (sorta like riding a bike). I remebered when my dad and i used to fish all the time.

1. 6"6 Carrot Stix Wild with a Diawa Megaforce 100THS, Worm rod, 15# Cajun line. (This combo looks and performs good) 2. 6'6 All Star With a Diawa Team Viento twitchin bar, This is a back up worm rod or ill run this one with a weight other without a weight 3. 6"0 All star with a pinnacle pro series, Jig rod 4. 7"0 All star with a pinnacle pro series, drop shot rig 5 (Insert carolina rig here) 6. (Insert crankin rod here) I have about 6 or 7 more baitcasters that i own but i just dont have rods for them!

I was pulling it out of algea gave it a tug then it fell i go to pop it again i felt it and set the hook.

Caught this one yesterday on a white/chartreuse tail palm tree, only one caught by anyone all day.

I forgot to mention this was the only fish caught all day yesterday.

Bought some Charttreuse/white and some junebug palm trees and used them yesterday in thick grass, im thinking about riggin up a mojo rig for it next time like flukemster has suggested.

I bought some 4/0 EWG gamakatsu's and i thought they would be too big.

Zoom Trick worm, i have about a whole worm binder full of them, every ounce of money goes to them, Good colors are watermelon, black, junebug, bullfrog, white, yellow, limetreuse, methioliate, red/black, I have learned brighter colors when fished weightless texas rigged will pull them off the bed, black works at night, white works when nothing else will, junebug is a middle of the day bait, and watermelon is good for everything Just my .2 cents

I pull up rat-l-traps all the time from the bottom and from trees in a friends lake. I saw someone drop a black max with a carrot stick into the water near his bank and it has still yet to be found, im about to drop there with a treble hook and a 1/2 ounce waight to seee if i can find it.

What size hook is that?

Ok so today i bought some Palm Trees at a trip to bass pro, do they make diffrent sizes? I got some small ones (the only ones they had) in junebug and white with a chartreuse tail. Ill try them out after i work 6-1 tomorrow

everyone knows about the fluke but the color that beats them all is Smokin Silver, i keep 20 packs on deck at all times. Works in all water colors, all temperatures and just about anywhere you use it. Try it out

Reaction Innovations Big Flirt 6.95" In the dirty sanchez color will tear the lips off of them!

Great Fish and Roll Tide Roll!

You always catch the biggest fish!

Daiwa Megaforce 100THS Twitchin' Bar with about a 6'6 medium heavy action all star graphite rod, and youll be sittin right to catch some fish. I have this some combo in a 7'0 rod and a 6'6 and the 6'6 feels like it is more versatile. Twitchin bar is cool too.
