The Fishing Thread, ANY ANGLERS ON NT ?!

[calibeebee]

greatabyss43 your advice came in handy. Plus my river spot is mostly no longer underwater! Was bouncing a wedding ring and a blue/silver rooster tail downstream and slamming em. Lost 4 or 5 trying to wrestle them over an underwater rock shelf. Another week or 2 and the spot will be pure flames

Love saltwater tho. Blessed to live around so much good water.

i finally got out there. live bait was scarce but we took what we had and used em. 2 hours of fishing. i think i caught around 6 or so and released everything except for one. all in all it was a great morning.

You in the Caribbean?? Where they got fish like that at?

i live in hawaii. dipped the gopro in the water when i was fighting one and it looked like a damb aquarium.

 

[mplsdunk]

Damn that’s

Guys , it’s not “always about fishing “

Fine Saturday morning

 

[mplsdunk]

Caught some mid size smallies, these things fight like hell though. One jumped 3 feet in the air and threw the hook.

Bass boyz

Everything is so weedy I was just ripping lipless cranks through them today and fishing.

 

[stuntman mike]

caught a bunch today. kept 2.

tried to get some footage on the gopro. 1 hand on the pole, squatting down, other hand on the gopro. fish ends up getting hung up on the reef and my braided line got shredded

[stuntman mike]

kbay oahu.

mplsdunk i walked over, opened my bail, and waited until the fish swam the line off the reef and i caught it. that doesn’t always work tho

It sucks when you get hung up with braid because it won’t break if you’re running straight braid and no leader if it’s a heavy braid.

 

[stuntman mike]

little different here because braid is not abrasion-resistant as mono/fluro so even if i run 40# braid as mainline, it’ll cut kinda easy on sharp coral with enough pressure. i run braid to a swivel then 20# fluorocarbon leader to the hook. throw on a live bait and gtg. my bag has a few swivels, some hooks, nail clippers, and my leader.

 

[mplsdunk]

one setup I run a heavy rod and straight braid 50# for fishing cover and bigger lures

The one I mostly use is 20# braid tied to a 10# flouro leader. More like a finesse setup. I can always break that off without losing braid obviously.

When I’m wading rivers though I just bring some plastics and go. I’m not carrying all that.

you’re out here fishing some nice ocean with coral and I’m out here fishing swamps and flooded retention ponds.

 

[mplsdunk]

Got active in the crik.

 

[stuntman mike]

i’m def not a purist nor a fly fisherman but this was a great watch.

 

[spizike231]

^ Yeti’s video stuff is usually really good tbh

 

[calibeebee]

wildfire smoke finally cleared up a bit so I decided to head to the river. Not much action. 2 rainbows. 1 fatty and 1 little guy. I’ll take it.

 

[spizike231]

^ bro that is beautiful where are you from and where is that

 

[mplsdunk]

Looks like Indiana or Ohio.

Gonna peep the yeti vid tonight.

If you have time they have one with a black lab as the subject I can’t remember the title. That one’s a good one too
