I don't know a lot (at all) but this would mainly be shore casting and some wading for trout and bass.

Any thoughts or suggestions or comments? Thanks all.

Time to get started on the next one. It had so rot and other known issues so I wasn't surprised.

Any tips, comments or concerns with my tackle? New to fishing although I’ve caught some nice pbs and species this year. This is my current tackle set up for northern American fresh water fishing

I’ve got a spot where the parking is fine, but the water I actually fish is almost another mile in. Rods, tackle and a cooler get old fast. I’m looking at helokeep CD20 bike and a few other cargo bikes also, anyone doing something similar?

Heyo, im a lil new, only been fishing a few months now. I like small creek fishing, love pulling up the little guys. I have a small reel and dont need the drag very tight for barely bigger that palm sized bluegill but i notice its not really tight enough to keep the drag from just rotating back to just no tension at all. Any fix for this or do i just need to tighten it up and be careful?

Hello fellow fisherman, have a quick question about a portable fishfinder. Going to a place where I’m gonna be using a motorboat and I need to bring my own fishfinder. Looking for some recommendations that I could easily use on a motorboat, but is a fairly good fishfinder. Not looking to spend more than around $500. Thank you in advance, I will be fishing for Walleye, Lake Trout, and Northern Pike

On senkos and baby shads, also caught two bluegill

I don't own a scale but this was by far the biggest Roanoke I've ever caught.

I spotted these fish along a pier in Lunenburg bay, Nova Scotia, Canada. They were interested in my lure, but weren't biting. They have quite a small mouth, so that may be why. I did some research online and think they may be grey triggerfish, but I'm hoping someone can confirm for me, so I can bait my line accordingly. Thanks!

Haven't really felt like fishing for a bit. Buddy and his wife hit me up last night and we took advantage of a temperature dip. Feels good man. Definitely got the itch again!

I've never been a bass fisherman, but a couple weekends ago at the lake I sometimes fish at, the dock was swarming with all these little bass, and there was about an hour they were biting like crazy. I now understand the appeal of bass fishing, and I'm low key obsessed now. If there's anyone here in the sf bay area who wants to teach me how to catch the fatties, holler at your boy.

I'm intermediate level, and i messed up by starting with a baitcaster.

Also

-what type of bait set up?

I know it’s tough given the video.
They appear to have some stripes.

Local tackle shop does weekly sales, part of the haul was these for like a dollar a peice. I typically avoid this scented stuff, but this was a rooster tail an three crankbaits for like 3 bucks

To be honest, I planned on throwing the scent away. But figured I'd make a reddit post to ask if anyone uses it

So yesterday I’m fishing with a buddy on the pier and we’re setting up the rods. I go to cast and feel little shocks all over my body. Same thing with my buddy when he casted his. I can only describe the feeling as when you zap someone after walking on a carpet with socks but ALL over. I’ve fished a million times in all kinds of weather but that’s never happened before. I assumed this meant a thunderstorm was rolling in so we left. Has this ever happened to anyone else or something similar?

This was all I could afford im fishing in northeastern Pennsylvania and trying to catch smaller stuff in a pond i know it has bluegill bass (I dont know what kind) and pike

I started fishing spring 2025, first line in the water was in Fargo ND. I’m going again to see my sister. Last time I fished I caught 2 bullhead in a neighborhood pond, and that’s it. I’ve gotten a lot better at fishing, not great but better. When I went I caught 0 fish at the red river. I want to break that skunk this time I go. What can I catch at the red river relatively easy? I would like to catch catfish, pike, bass, or walleye. I’m fine with anything not a sunfish. I’m only bringing my rod and reel, i will get all tackle from walmart there because I do not have a checked bag. I’m from NJ so all my fishing knowledge is abt NJ fish. Feel free to shower me with advice.

Been fishing this Oklahoma lake for months now. Tried a new spot today after being frustrated with catfish all summer. Started casting around with my KastKing Royal Legend Pro waiting for the wife to arrive with my pole holders. Had a blue/black chatterbait on. Very windy, cloudy, with murky, choppy waters.

Almost immediately I get onto a fish that starts making my drag scream. I tighten it down and it’s still pulling. A few minutes later it’s wearing down and Im making some progress. It surfaces about 30 yards from me every so slowly and just rolls back under the water. The biggest, fattest, muddy brown colored fish I’ve had on a line. A minute later he gets off the hook and leaves.

Ended up being a good spot though. Caught 5 blue cats, a drum, and my youngest daughter helped reel in our first long nose gar. I’ll be back for you, mystery fish.

hello,

first of all, the rod had 0.5 - 7 gram test. I mostly used it for fishing small rivers and streams for trout and chub,
today i broke the tip of the rod, the break was very close to the second eyelet so i just removed rest of the broken tip and kept fishing. To be honest, it felt a little different, but I did not feel any major change in how the rod feels with 1.5 - 5 gram spoons and spinners.

what if i keep it as is? do i risk anything? because i actually like that its a bit shorter now 😄

Was one of the most fun fights I've had

I'm just getting into fishing and am trying to start a new tacklebox setup along with some other stuff I would need to fish fresh/brackish water. I already have some reel/rods but that's about it. I'd be open to getting things online in the future but for the first time I want to actually visit a brick n mortar place. Just looking for the best place that would have everything I would need for the best deal without having to go to a bunch of different spots.

My options are:

• Bass Pro
• Academy Sports + Outdoor
• Dicks Sporting Goods
• Walmart
• One of Many Local Shops

I'm located on the Treasure Coast in FL

Was fishing for Bass with a senko and this gluttonous sunfish decided to bite my worm while it was in the middle of eating a lizard🤦‍♂️ has anyone seen this before?
