Hey guys, just recently started fishing so any advice is appreciated. Been going out and mainly using a relatively small hook with gulp crawlers or 3” gulp minnows. All I’m getting is a ton of sunnies. What can I do to get larger fish?

Took a baby Zara spook and put up a good fight ✌️

I was targeting stocked trout but this bluegill hit my powerbait instead. At least it was 7 inches.

What do you think?

Fishing for bass/musky vs fishing for pike/perch/zander/asp.

Last summer I was going to the finger lakes with my family and inlaws for the day and I hadn't been fishing since I was young. We had been casting off the dock and had no luck all morning, after giving up during the day we gave it another shot after dinner.

We had my 2 year old daughter with us and she had been trying to get in on the fishing too so I casted out for her, and she was not patient and insisted on reeling the worm in immediately, which must have been a good strategy since she ended up getting a large (invasive) carp on the line. Once it started fighting her she had me reel it In the rest of the way. As we hollered for someone to get the camera out and I started to pull it out of the water my 5lb line snapped and we lost the fish and the hook. Lost the only bite of the day and missed out on getting her to kiss it for luck.

Not sure if that counts as a catch or not but my pride is still slightly hurt that my daughter caught a bigger fish than I ever have with my own pole 🙃.

Looking to keep them alive a 3-5 days max. Would 3 dozen be alright?

Went wading in a creek, hit a section I haven’t waded before. Was catching large and small mouth consistently with a wacky rigged watermelon red flake senko.

Took one step and fell into the Mariana Trench and had to climb to shore and drain myself after the initial cold water shock.

Anyways here’s one I caught

I live on a lake that has really good fishing on it but recently found out they are installing ozone generators in the lake which will cause oxidative stress on the lakes which will in turn disrupt the fish cycle and severely affect the ecosystem and fishing. I’m pretty upset about it but everyone around seems to just think I don’t know what I’m talking about

Found on the shoreline on Lake Ontario, Canada, in the eastern section of the lake. Obviously has been picked away at, but curious as what fish has teeth on their tongue and what it would like in the water!

I bought a milk crate full of saltwater jigs and trolling feathers at an estate sale. At the bottom was a tackle box with some freshwater stuff and these things. I don’t even have a guess what they are for.

So I've fallen in love with these in-line spinners with a fly on the end. Where can one purchase the hardware to make inline spinners? I'd like to make some with a variety of different wet flies so I can cast them with my ultralight spinning outfit

Looking for recommendations for places to slay some fish. I’m a bass guy, but have fear for all species.

ROUTE: starting San Diego and ending in Quantico. LA, Redwood City, Vancouver, Idaho Falls, Yellowstone, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Boulder, Cheyenne, Indianapolis, Louisville, Knoxville, Quantico

Thanks a mill.

Looking to take a vacation to Florida this year and want to knock off the bucket list item of some saltwater fishing. Going to stay in Orlando a couple days first then maybe Tampa but I’m up to suggestions. What time of year is the best? Which side has better fishing? Gulf of Mexico or Atlantic? And of course what are some recommendations for charters.

Any good places to fish today? It’s 45F, cloudy, and looking for something do. Look for shore fishing or from a dock. We’re a mile east of the lake proper.

Going to be in Southern California next month. Looking to take a fishing/camping trip for a few days. Looking for recommendations for lakes/rivers with camping nearby where I can fish from the bank with my dog.
