wheezo

no fish cuz he ate them all!

hey guys =) pygmy sunfishes are native to florida. i was wondering if anyone can catch me some? there's probably 3 different types of pygmy sunfishes. i dun really know where to find them, i was hoping you guys would know. they are probably as common as bluegills in california? i can send you a box, bags, the works and pay for shipping. =) these are cool little fishes. a friend gave me some a few years back.

You'll need a large tank... LARGE and a really good/big filter. Weekly water changes... live food daily. If the tank is set up with lots of cover and you can create something similar to its natural environment, the colors will be shown. and since you "have" the LARGE tank, I would say get yourself 2-3 more and you can have a little school. =P From my experience, fishes lose their colors when they are sick/stressed. If a bass can feel comfortable in a school and tank with lots of cover, their colors will display. Well when you have that set up, you can practice catching bass. =)

when or what date would you say winter is starting and no more fall fishing?

I agree 100%... =)

Oh man... I've been wearing polarized sunglasses lately but only to lessen the glare. This is a great post, I was always afraid that I'd get hooked somewhere. But never did it cross my mind that the eye was a possibility. I would never want that to happen to myself or my friends. It would be much worst if you hooked your friend in the eye. -.- Great post... you guys may have just saved a few eyes. =)

How about a rod that got away?? My friends and I had a few rods lined up fishing for catfish. 2 of them were short, 3-4 feet poles. This was 2 years ago around August. It was getting dark, and we decided to reel the lines up only to be missing one of the short poles. We looked around and didn't see it. We figured that we caught one and it took the pole with him. We came back about a month later to fish and we hooked into what we thought were weeds but it was the short pole and brought it back. No fish at the other end though. Edit- Found that other post about finding rods. But this was our rod that we got back. =P

skunked again. the one fish that I got flip flopped right next to the boat and jumped off the hook. -.- i like to use the gamakatsu offset hook ewg with a plastic worm on c-rig. what am i doing wrong?

I have never seen walking the dog... nor have I read directions. I tried several things with the spook as I've heard "walking the dog" I didn't know what that meant... when I walk my dog, I just walk with it or sometimes it walks me. Although when I tried different retrieves, jerks, reeling speed... I found it cool with some slack line and a quick jerk I could make it go left and right. It seemed weird to be fishing like that, but it was an interesting concept. Although I have never fished it long enough to catch any fish with it because I didn't know what I was doing. Thanks guys for the feedback. =) I think I know what it is now but it would be great if someone had a clip to watch. =)

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you guys try to reel the bass in as fast as you can... like me. When I do that, the fish still has a lot of energy by the time it gets to the boat and it flops around and sometimes flops off the hook. So before it gets to the boat, my friend would be ready with the net to net it up as fast as possible because we dont want to lose it before we take pictures =P Anyway... watching a bunch of vids, I see people get the fish in, and the fish doesnt flop around when its near the boat and they can easily grab its mouth with one hand. What's the trick???

thanks guys. =) we'll keep looking.

Hi... my friend is thinking about getting this boat, http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/boa/200867784.html is it good? We don't know much about boats yet...

what type of movement is walking the dog? is it considered a zig zag, left right left right?

Yes Sirs... I will hopefully not have any more badly hooked fish but if I do, I'll be sure to feed the eagles. =) I'm not too fond of eating fish with exceptions of catfish. We catch and release... and I get nagged all the time by my dad that I ALWAYS go fishing and show him pictures but I never bring him home a fish.

What do you do with a non-keeper size bass that has been hooked badly and is dying? In our case we kept it...
