Bass fishing Setups for salt river

Done a lot of trout fishing on the salt river but not so much bass. What type of baits or lures do you see work best for you and does it change much from summer to winter. Not looking for spots because I know my way around the salt, just looking for advice on what you see works and what does not.

Best lake for shore bass fishing

I’m getting tired of urban ponds in the valley. Too inconsistent. Too overfished. I want to try my hand in shore fishing but I hear mixed things about all of the local lakes (Saguaro, Salt river, canyon, etc.). What’s everyone’s favorite lake to shore fish for bass. Also, what’s your best tips to get the most out of your experience (time to go, lures, etc).

Lake pleasant fishing

What has the fishing at lake pleasant been like? I’m going for stripers and bass but might do some catfishing. I will also be shore fishing.

Wood Canyon Group Fishing

Anyone know any good spots to shore fish with some of my friends at woods canyon? I typically fish out of the trolling boats, but with this being a few of their first times I’m not sure if that’s the best option.

New to fishing. Any tips to start fishing the Lower Salt River

I live closest to the Lower Salt River and I’d like to start fishing alone. I’ve inly been a few times with others but had fun using their items. I just bought my own fishing pole and that’s all I have for now. Does any one have tips or resources on where I can learn to fish and what gear I need?

BIG Upper Lake Mary walleye!

Quick video of a NIIIICE walleye I caught on a 1/2oz Cotton Cordell Super Spot rattle bait(chrome w/green back color pattern). He's a bruiser & ready to get back in the water! I release 98% of the fish I catch, just keeping a few here & there for a nice fish dinner.

*This is not a recent catch, but one I have not shared before.

Best Trout Setup

Growing up I used to catch fish left and right with the help of my dad. More recently, 99% of my fishing trips are nothing more than a cast and reel session no matter what tackle I use, where I go and how long I’m there. I tend to use a spinning reel with spiderwire braid along with a couple panther martins or something else.

I’m hoping some of you would be willing to avoid all the gatekeeping some outdoorsman abide by and help me out. I’d like to get more involved outdoors, as my dad gets older, being with him and having more successful fishing sessions would make all those adventures that much brighter. Though bright in their own way and cherished all the same, nothing beats cheering each other on and grabbing the net to help the other out.

Any info you can share would be much appreciated, if you’d prefer to do it directly, please PM or DM me, I’d really love the help.
