Nobody would believe this if it wasn’t recorded. Including me

Only time I’ve ever recorded myself fishing, figured I’d show my buddy this insane pond. The lord looked down and blessed me this day with this. First five pounder post is following this, best day of fishing of my life. Possibly ever just insanity lol

Berkley Choppo

Hi all, I've recently discovered the Choppo 90. I mainly fish a creek and a small lake and I love the Choppo, I've only used the 90 in Bone. Would the 75 be better for the smaller creek that I fish? They seem to love the 90 there when I throw it, I'm just wondering the 75 would get me more hook sets. If so, what color(s)? Thanks!

Private Pond

Merced, Ca. I operate a property that has a fishing hole close to town that used to be very popular. However, because of its proximity to town while still feeling remote, it has been overfished and polluted. Lots of trash has been left, theft is rampant, and there is frequent drug use. We've since secured the property but I would still like respectable fishermen - especially families to come enjoy the fishing hole.

My question is this - how can we keep the riff raff out while creating a safe and clean environment for honest people who'd like to come fish? I'm wondering if a small entrance fee / membership would be a good idea to get people invested in the well-being of the property.

Any advice or opinions are welcome. We are trying to do the best by the community while protecting our property. Thank you.

Feeling Superstitious

Am I the only one that is cursed by fishing superstitions? I have a couple, now I have a new one. Bought a new crank bait rod 2 months ago and forgot to take off the protective wrap and barcode from the handle. Did well with largest bass going 6lbs, now the plastic wrap lives with the rod.

Anyone else have any fishing quirks?

Torn between two bait casters

So, I’m looking to get a new bait caster combo. I want to get a shimano tranx, but I am torn between two sizes. I’m not sure if I should get a 300 size or a 400 size. The reel will be for striped bass, snook, and small tarpon. With this info, what size do you think I should get?

Do baitcasting reels have a use for canal fishing?

I fish canals (ultra light) and was wondering why I would use a baitcaster instead of a standard spinning reel?
