fishing, any fish here? Options

[celicaboston1983]

hey does anyone on this site go fishing. just wanted to know what kind of fishes do u guys catch and what u use for bait.

[WannabeGT4]

I caught you a delicious bass.


Seriously though... It's not something I do on a regular basis, maybe twice a year at most. I've always gone at night 8pm-2am. We use plain ol' worms usually catch catfish if we just let it sit at the bottom of the lake or bass if we're fishin' shallow.

I hate taking the hook out of them when i was little i used to get stabbed by them. Used to ball up a piece of bread and put it on the hook as bait and catch catfish/carp : )

I go to Canada periodically on a week long fishing trip for smallmouth bass and northern pike.

I like to fly fish once in a while. Usually for trout, and stealhead.

I fish on the beach and catch dusky sharks, occasionally some flounder and such but rarely anything actually worth keeping. Behind my house is a pond, and you can catch all sorts of **** in there, lg & smallmouth bass, pickerel, pike, perch, sunnies etc

I go up fishing in Alaska from time to time. I go to Petersburg, and then take a boat to a place called Island Point Lodge. The last time I went I caught a 190lb Halibut using fresh herring I caught that morning in the harbor.

i love fishing i was just out on the chesapeak bay a few weeks ago and caught rock bass

[Yota]

this is an ironic thread because Friday, I'm leaving with my dad to go to Canada for a week full of fishing. I've never gone before, so I'm kind of skeptical of the whole trip...Should be fun though. I'm trying to stay optimistic.

tuna, shark, snapper, mahi mahi, barracuda. um pretty much anything i can catch in the ocean, my next trip is bill fishing (swordfish/sailfish)

[BlackSTX]

I normally catch bass, bluegill, and sunfish in creeks and lakes around here, but I'm going deep sea fishing off San Diego next month for the first time.

[celicaboston1983]

isnt blue gill and sun fish the same thing?

[BlackSTX]

Similar, but different. Bluegill are mostly in ponds and rivers around here, while sunfish I've only seen in smaller creeks with clear water. Bluegill can get a lot larger, especially hybrids. I've never caught a sunfish bigger than my hand. Sunfish have a lot of orange and blue on them and are actually kind've pretty.

[celicaboston1983]

do u guys use live bait or spinner baits or fake baits i use worms and live baits right now but want to start using spinner baits. just wanted to get info from people that use them already what rod/spinner baits/fake baits do u guys use and how effective is it.

[rocky2006]

my friend and i go fishing about every 3 weeks. either we are going to bad lakes, or we suck at fishing. anyone here PLEASE give tips on catching ANYTHING DECENT SIZED (at least 2 lbs) in lakes. i have been fishing for ~ 25 hrs total this summer and my biggest fish is a 12" bass that didnt even move my fish scale...i will love you forever if you help .

[celicaboston1983]

hey guys does any of u guys use spinner baits i need to know how im suppose to tie the bait on ive been looking all over the web its driving me crazy

[DamDirtyApes]

fishing is awsome

[celicaST]

i fish every once in a while, tryd to flyfish before but that didnt work out so well

[DamDirtyApes]

The best bait is shiners. Me and my friends like to use them when we go fishing for pike.

[celicaboston1983]

Yea I usually use shiners but im trying to use some fake baits/lures now since there isnt that much bait shops around anymore.
