Hey guys looking for a new rod/reel setup to go fluke fishing in NJ. Probsbly a lot of surf but also some bay fishing. I do a lot of saltwater fishing but have never gone fluke fishing before, caught a few fluke here and there though. Don’t give me some crazy 600 dollar setup lol, like 150-200 is good max

I caught this out of a tiny creek in oregon thats pretty deep, it flows into ash creek and the Willamette river idk if that helps, i caught at least 150-200 in like 8 hours of putting traps down with bread and vanilla wafers in the traps for that sweet bread scent, was going for mosquito fish but instead these guys were all over, caught a ton on an ultralight setup bottom fishing with bread or tiny pieces of worm but the bread was more effective. Maybe chub of some sorts? But idk i have some in my fish tank and they dont look quite the same, especially the specific colors they have

Tahoe Trout Fishing

Hello! I’ve been wanting to take a birthday trip up to Tahoe in early April. I am looking to stream/creek/river fish for trout. Any suggestions?

Also what type of gear do you recommend, I carry a light action rod/reel with 4lb test and it’s 5’6”. Would I need something a bit stronger/heavier? Im used to catching smaller wilds in socal.

I’ll have a truck/4wd available if necessary as well! Should I invest in some waders?

Thank you! I’ll take any suggestions or advice, just looking to get some more information. Tight lines😁

Pwease stop using barb huks it hurts the feesh and it's mean and their cute(sorry for bad language I had to use Firefox translate)

Is it worth getting the Lvs34 ice bundle with no screen ( I already have a head unit) for 2k and some change

Or

The deal from scheels for 200$ less and includes a 9” head unit and lvs32.

It just seems like the market has/will be flooded with 32s and people upgrading making the 32 harder to sell.

I know the poles and batteries suck on both combos but I gotta start somewhere.

I’ve used both units and I think the 34 is better but will I just be happy having one than not having one. Thanks

A giant lure you can nail on your wall(this is what i want for Christmas everybody) it's around 30 bucks and there's a silver version to

caught this guy in my town's river (very murky water) and i got surprised by its color. It was one of the only 2 largemouth bass i managed to catch (using only nets) because it seems to be a locally endangered species for some uknown reason and this one have a weirdly silverish/yellow color.

I have supplies upon supplies to make new rods for my husband and a son. How do you find out what size of the parts (handles, guides, etc...) go with the rod blanks?

OEM Graphite Rod Blanks - SC78ML / 6'6" / Med-Light / Gloss Black

OEM Graphite Rod Blanks - SC78ML / 6'6" / Med-Light / White

Was I too ambitious..??

Hi all, considering getting my father a livescope for his birthday. Im seeing panoptix and garmins on the market, and i am intrigued by the “garmin panoptix ps22-if with 7” echomap uhd2” for $1,900. Is this a good livescope tool and can it also be used on a boat off season? Ive used other fish finders before but never got into livescopes. Thanks

For me it was the arkie mirror glow spinners/buzzers. I had all of them when I was younger and the little promotional dvd that taught you how to use them 😂. But they caught FISH. In fact my PB to this day Largemouth bass was on a mirror glow buzz bait. Big pre-spawn momma of the edge of some reeds. It bottomed out my little 10lb scale.

Will be in Dallas in early January and looking to go fishing. Any recommendations on spots to find crappie, or just some solid fishing in general? Also looking for some fishing guides down that way if anyone has any recommendations.

Thanks

which one should i get?

the garmin all season kit is 375€ and the lowrance eagle 4x all season kit is 340€.

i’ll be using it for ice fishing and when the summer comes i’m planning to put in on my belly boat.

Looking to purchase the above mentioned, any advice ? What rod would you pair it with, options: slx casting rod MH fast, shimano clarus mh (green one),daiwa laguna mh, 13 fishing fate v3. Would appreciate your opinions

Need a new rod to pair with my slx dc. Previously paired with an okuma recon MH extra fast action 2pc, sadly incorrect handle caused it to snap. Current options slx casting rod MH fast, shimano clarus mh (green one),daiwa laguna mh, 13 fishing fate v3. Would appreciate your opinions

I caught this monster peacock on a 4” white paddle tail. He absolutely hammered it as soon as it hit the water before I even flipped the bail back. I was in almost shoulder deep water maxing out my waders. Good thing there weren’t any opportunistic alligators nearby because I was totally distracted getting this bad boy in!

So my buddy caught a 3ft bonnet head and I bled and gutted it. It's late, I wanna go to bed and I'll fillet as soon as I wake up. Will the few hours overnight on ice affect the quality of meat? This is the first shark I've cleaned and will fillet. Ive read about the ammonia but not sure if the ammonia builds up after bleeding and gutted. I would assume it doesn't but I don't much about it.

Hello, so i really really want to catch catfish, but i haven't been able to for the life of me. I live in the Northwest part of GA, and i have been trying various things and locations but none have worked. If anyone could provide me with tips or locations it would help a lot, thank you!

Caught this in California on a rooster tail. Didn’t have teeth as I could feel.
