The Fishing Thread

Searched around & only found the video fishing & BassMasters threads, i know their are plenty of outdoorsman here, so i figured it'd be cool to draw upon the Planets vast experience in all things fishing.

I only use spincast reels & fish mostly large/smallmouth bass & cats. My choice of reels is quite the source of derision from many people i know 'duffer gear', but i haul in my share of 6 pound bass & 10-20 pound cats on that gear no problem. With a little know-how you can use just about any technique you want to on 'duffer gear'.

Berkley Powerbaits are a big part of my trick bag, the difference between those & regular stuff is night & day. My best action last summer came on Mister Twister scented white curly tail grubs, on one day fishing from shore to a bridge pier, i caught smallies, bigmouths, perch & even 1 carp believe it or not... great day. But my bread & butter is a texas rigged Berkley worm, it'll wiggle through any kind of cover without getting hung up.

With cats i strictly bottom fish, no bobber & bait is just as basic... but its always in 2's to give'em a real treat... a shrimp/with a nightcrawler, liver/chunk of cheese etc. Cats are mostly for night sport to me, time to kick back a lil...

So thats me style, how do the rest of you guys get your fish on? What do you fish for, what do you use? IIRC Missouri's trout season just kicked off, anyone getting anything?

I'm currently in Hamilton, Montana fishing the Bitterroot River.

I got some nice rainbows yesterday, including an 18 and 20 incher







Today I went upstream and got into some nice sized cutties.



I have 2 more days of fishing. Let's see what else I get into

Big fan of the Bitterroot. Which fork or what area did you fish?

Day 1 was a float trip on the main river north of Hamilton. Day 2 started on the main river south of Darby, then I drove up to the west fork for the evening. The best day was day 3 on the east fork. The fly shop guy told me about a way to access some great water through a cattle ranch. It was was awesome...riffle run pool, about 30 feet wide, through open meadow with lots of casting room, and zero fishermen.

Yeah, I figured out the first one from the pic when I looked again. Been through there before.


That east fork bit, you have to park near a small overpass? Walk upstream maybe be 2-3 miles to a private property fence strung across the stream?

You actually turn left right before the bridge on the main road and take a small road back, thwn you take a dirt road to a tiny bridge. Right there is miles fishable water all the way east.

Looks very familiar. Probably either the same spot, or really close by. Had a lot of fun fishing around there on the East root couple years ago

But hell, really a school of -any- kind of saltwater fish is a lot of fun... nothing like a bunch of bluefish busting bait.

I've caught just about everything in the salt on conventional tackle, because my parents were -very- into saltwater fishing when I was growing up. I caught my first sailfish when I was in 5th grade. Dolphin/dorado are hard to beat, though. So much fun, and such good eating. I'd love to go bonefishing, though I'm not sure I'm a good enough caster to do it justice. I'd really, really like to fish for one of these babies, though (fishing buddy of mine in the pic):


If you've never seen people target these bad boys, it's pretty awesome:

Catching a tarpon is also on my list.
Tarpon on a fly is a life-changing experience.
