Rora

Thanks for the help guys. going to try the bread trick with smaller hooks and the crickets. I have heard crickets are better but I wanted to use the worms i grow for vermicompost. Its weird where i try to save money when I have spent hundreds of dollars on gear and lures that i havent even opened yet...

Man so I went out on my own without the kids and setup an ultralight with a slip bobber split shot and a size 8 snell hook. Couldn’t get anything to bite the worm. The water was clear enough and shallow enough that I could see them. Some would peck a bit but they were so easy to spook. I think some issues could be that maybe the bobber was too big. Will try the bread tip next time. Not sure how to work on this. Might try the jig at the end over the hook. Thanks for the help guys

I'm getting sometimes i am getting bites but i think i'm missing them. I think my hook might be too big. I was using a size 6 aberdeen yesterday. Will probably bump that down to size 10. Think i will practice float fishing on my own as well, i do wonder if there is some skill involved.

I'm a relatively new fisherman and did not get a chance to growup slaying bluegills but went straight to bass. Now that I have kids, I want to give them that quintessential experience but I'm having alot of trouble catching bluegills of any size. Usually I have a light rig with a size 6 gold aberdeen hook, a splitshot like a foot above and a float just above that. I'm rigging up whole red wrigglers on them but still struggling. I wonder if its because I live in such a pressured area.

I just checked and its still there! if you are on the app, you just have to scroll to the right to see options that are not featured. Good Luck! Anglers help other Anglers feed the bait monkey

Just ordered the Kaden Series KD700Sf for 77 dollars. Hopefully its a good rod.

Anyone figure out what the pure fishing code is for this year? Scored so hard that one time but now I NEED MORE.

does that stack with their pro membership 10 % discount? Thinking about joining.

You guys know if shimano reels apply? I know fine print usually says no but…

Just got the tackle warehouse sale code. Check your emails.

It was shallow and in clear water. Just thought they didn’t really like to dig their head into grass silt and algae but that’s what I saw them doing. figured I would try a Ned rig next.

Hey all. I was out fishing mid morning and I noticed some of the larger bass were digging themselves into the grass and it looked it was almost trying to forage for something. This was super shallow and there is no separation between grass the bottom. What do you think they were trying to eat? Also what would you recommend I throw? Jigs? Ned rig? thanks in advance

This is kind of the mentality I was going for. Just grab a rod with a certain technique and force myself to become proficient with it

I really appreciate everyone’s thoughtful comments! I cant wait to try these out Monday morning!

Im interested in learning more about making fishing a daily mindfulness routine! what do you do? I have started listening to finance podcasts while i fish but i would hardly call that being mindful. I do like to go out every morning before sunrise and fish an hour or 2.

I'm starting to want to just simply focus on individual techniques instead of just focusing on what I think may work (ie drop shot). Is it worth just taking only a single rod with only a single rig to try and force myself to learn how for a week or two? Only problem is, I live in Southern California and the local city ponds are what I would consider beyond pressured. Wondering what you're guys thoughts were. I just want to invest myself into being a better angler even if it hurts in the interim.

Are any of the Tatula rods good for an all around rod? Sounds like the mh/f is too heavy?

This is all awesome information guys! I swear they are sleeping. A lot of times their head is buried in the weeds and won’t bite the lure unless it ticks them off or doinks them on the head

I go out fishing early in the mornings and I’ve started to notice the fish are almost asleep and hugging the shoreline walls of our local pond. I’ve gotten to bite throwing a free rig Maxscent flatworm but it think they are very line shy. How would you guys recommend I attack them? thanks for any help in advance.

I just put in my 5th order so… definitely not helping.

That would be awesome. I have a wall of rod tubes I’m too cheap to throw away but I don’t know what to do with.

I just got my virtual rod shipment from pure fishing. I got a beautiful rod tube. But that was it. It was completely empty?? going to try and file a claim. At least it was only 25 bucks.

I just got mine. Just glad it came in one piece.

d**n that monkey bites people hard.

At this point I kind of wish the coupon code would die. just saw their new deal today. Veritas rod with revo x reel comes out just 90 dollars. That seems like a screaming deal.
