I live 30 minutes drive from the area in Ohio where the total eclipse can be seen. Has anyone fished during any eclipse, total or not? There is a lot of talk on how the sun and moon affect fish activity. Is there any research done on fish activity during an eclipse?

I wasn't sure if It was okay or optimal to use a spin cast reel for striper fishing (I'm using lures) also freshwater fishing. It would also be nice to have any tips for freshwater striper fishing I've never really tried i also dont have any other medium heavy action rods or id use them I only had a spin cast

Caught this trout at Guasti and looking back its my first time seeing a trout like this. I typically catch the standard ugly stock trout but this looks beautiful.

Sorry for the low quality picture, I just thought this was really interesting and actually kind of smart when you think about it. They had basic stuff like hooks, weights, and night crawlers.

I've found this on the coast of the Baltic Sea in Lithuania and wondered what is this thing.. I think it's some kind of eel, but I ain't an expert on this😅. Can I get some help?

I usually leave them in the water but I had to take this hog out quickly for a picture and a measure. Released without handling and swam off hard.

Not bad for the first one of the season.

Fished some pond by my area and there was a couple of gar coming up to the surface of the water look at me and snapping the at water . I wasn’t trying to catch them I was going for bass but they kept following me around and just looking at me . Y’all ever had something happen like that ? It happened with like 3 ponds I gone to

Caught some perch Thursday got home late had a busy weekend … added ice each day so they stayed cold and iced . Cleaned tonight some filets had a pinkish spot where the meat was closest to the head……. Still good to eat??

I just recently moved to Spicer, MN. Never really fished musky but over winter purchased a kayak and have been adding baits throughout the winter. I have a few lakes in Alexandria that I’m going to be checking out but curious if anyone has had luck closer to the spicer region? Not looking for exact spots but just a general idea or lake.

I was in the shower and my dog who is ~30 pounds snuck into my laundry room, pulled a fishing jacket off a coat rack and was able to finagle his way into a pocket and tear open a bag of Gulp minnow powerbait. He must’ve ate 7 or 8 of them (2.5”). I have read that there isn’t too much to be concerned about but for obvious reasons I wanted to see if anyone has had a similar experience / should I take immediate action?

I'm 16 and wanting to buy my own fishing gear now that I have to have a fishing license. I've never bought any of my own gear because I've always just used my Dad's. What's a good price range for a decent freshwater fishing rod?

Hey community, I need help finding a good guide that focuses on Smallmouth Bass in Lake Erie, and works out of the Port Clinton, Ohio area. My Google searches produce exhaustive lists of walleye charters … not what I am looking for. Please help !

Is catfish okay to eat? And how does one catch it.

Hi guys,

I am fishing quite seldom, but happen to be in Patagonia and have two ultra light spinning rods with me. 1,80 a 2,10m 10-15g.

I wanted to ask for recommendations how to catch trout in the mountain lakes and rivers. My main problem is the strong current and wind with my 10g spinners. The water is very clear and cold, what bait would you use?

Picture is from the spot where I fished today.

Hey I caught this 3kg trout today and was interested to know what kind of trout it is?
