The fishing thread

Took the youngest for a little fun this morning at a place called Busch Wildlife here. The area has 30+ lakes to fish on and rents small fishing boats and you just need to bring your own trolling motor and battery to get around the lake. We hit 2 of them and caught a bunch of shorties. Nothing over 15" but caught about 20 between the 2 of us. Here he is with one that he caught:

Not a fan of the football jigs...they tend to get crud fed up fast!! It's a 1/2oz flippin jig with mustad hook and a skirt I blended myself. Flippin and pitchin is probably my favorite style besides top water and deep crankin...and by deep crankin I'm talking 15ft+ I'm gonna start doing custom cranks in a couple weeks I hope but we will seeMoney can't buy taste0

I am a fun of anything Abu Garcia. Series 20 size reel and a 6'6 poledanielzreyes:What's a good spin set up for drop shot? I don't like using a baitcaster fot drop shot.0 -
i usually use my revo stx but it's a baitcaster... Other whys a shimano Sahara is the only spinning reel I have left. You should try out that nano fil line! Match it up with the 100% flourocarbon and you got yourself a winner!! Today I matched that with the gambler shaky shad and killed it!!danielzreyes:What's a good spin set up for drop shot?

How thick are you going using the baitcaster?
I want to set up a spinner because casting drop shot with a baitcaster feels funky. Kinda feels like Carolina rig (I hate this rig). The weight of the lure and the weight itself jacks up my cast. I suck."It's plume, bro. Nothing to worry about. Got any Opus?" The suppose to be DZR0 -
i usually just pitch it out there...Carolina rigs can be a pain in the ass you just have too use at least a ounce of weight. And yeah nano fil came out a few years ago...really thin braid but good on spinning gear! If you want a awesome reel pretty cheap but a baitcaster I will use the pro qualifier but buy custom drag disc material and use abed 7 hybrid bearings in the spool...not the smoothest but casts far and has dual breakingdanielzreyes:

i hate using a baitcaster, i just can't get a feel for it.....guess i don't do it often enough and grew up on spin......its tough changing the way you cast after 30+ years of whipping the hell out of a spinnerLee.mcglynn:

DZR, where you fishing bro? I go to lake kaweah where wacky Senkos work pretty good and Millerton where slip rig night crawlers have been getting hits. These were a few days ago, nothing huge but fun stuff nonetheless.

Vinny, been going to Lake Perris. The lake gets a bad rep for being a diaper hole but the fishing is excellent.
I'll go to other local lakes too though. Skinner, Silverwood, Diamond Valley. Just to name a few."It's plume, bro. Nothing to worry about. Got any Opus?" The suppose to be DZR0 -

which day? We were throwing those all weekend and didn't get anything near that size. (see my fish a little earlier) Best we were able to pull was a 2.8.matkn293:Got this last Friday at Lake of the Ozarks. 4lb - 7oz. Hit on a bandit 200 green and white.
FYI, come to find out that matkn293 and i were staying REALLY close to each other on the same Lake.0 -
This was caught on Friday. Saturday sucked then Sunday morning was better once they started moving up on the beds. I just happen to get lucky. this is about the only one I heard of in that area. Most were staging 10-20' out and 7-8' deep.
