I started using those around docks last season in addition to the weightless stick baits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livin2fish Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I have never detected a bite from any species of fish while holding my line or laying it over a finger, though I have tried many times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbjorn Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I have never fished a lure with a stated weight greater than 1oz. Rigs and total weight with all components, sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajoe222 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Never caught a bass trolling. That fact is ironic as I learned structure fishing from the master and trolling SpoonPlugs was the basis for learning to fish different structures. When I started fishing from a boat, it had no motor and the first accessory I added to it was a Humminbird flasher. I used it to find all different structures on our summer home lake. When I was finally able to purchase a boat with a motor, again my first addition was a depth finder, but I never got into trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAmoeba Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I have never owned a Shimano product. I have about 50 Daiwa reels and have had every other brand of reel and rod imaginable but have never had a single shimano product. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a severe case of Shimanophobia, with a healthy side of Daiwaphilia. Can you show me on the doll where Shimano hurt you? I kid. Is there something about Shimano that repels you that strongly? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very bad. 17 hours ago, Big Hands said: Is there something about Shimano that repels you that strongly? Nothing. I know they are quality products and I have cast a few friends but I have never wanted one. I particularly dislike the DC reels and their noise. Centrifugal brakes, I am not used to, and I can cast my daiwas like a champ. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rboat Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Obviously, I am doing something wrong. I can't get bit on the Deps cover scat, darn poop bait! I also have never caught a bass on a traditional bass jig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbmaine Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I have never stopped wanting to go fishing. Here's me and my dad, mid 1950's Here's a recent one of me. Same lake. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSanford33 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I have never regretted time on the water. I’ve had work things blow up while I was on the water; I’ve frozen my butt off sitting in a kayak in sleet, and I’ve gotten skunked more often than I’d like to admit, but I’ve never ever regretted getting out there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Pines Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I have never caught a smallmouth bass! They just don't live down here where I'm at in NC. We have hunting property in VA on the James River but whenever I'm there I'm usually deer / turkey hunting. I need to make some trips up there with the canoe so I can experience some brown bass action!! On 9/14/2023 at 9:08 AM, JediAmoeba said: I particularly dislike the DC reels and their noise. Centrifugal brakes, I am not used to, and I can cast my daiwas like a champ. Do you fish jerkbaits on spinning gear? All my bigger jerkbaits like (pointer 100 and up) I'm throwing on casting gear and I can't imagine not having a DC reel. I'll bomb cast them straight into the wind with zero hesitation... the noise is a little annoying at first. But wow what a difference a DC reel makes on a jerkbait rod. Completely thumb free!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zcoker Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I have never seen anyone start so many topics on a forum like you! lol Just kiddin. You keep things spiced up here. Let's see what I can come up with related to fishing: I've never captured and tagged (from the beach) a great white shark. Most all other east coast shark species I've captured and tagged. Thought I came close a few times but they turned out to be tiger sharks. As far as freshwater goes, I've never fished from a bass boat. I started out bank fishing and later on ended up with a motorized fishing kayak, which has worked out very well. Maybe someday I'll get a bass boat (or fish from one lol) but for right now I'm pretty content with my kayak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
