i don't know how many people on here are into fishing but its the summer time so i know a few of you atleast gotta throw out a pole every once in a while. so i felt like starting a thread on fishing. mainly bass fishing but any kind will do. post pictures and discuss what you use and whats good at your local ponds/lakes.

i dont really have any pics, ive cought some nice small and larges all over the place, my grandmas pond is like unfair though because its all freakishly old/large large and smallmouths that you can catch with a fucking hook and a gummy worm (yes, i have caught fish with sour and gummy worms there) they are just retarded i dont know why.

and ive caught a lot of stripers and blues ocean fishing, i think my best claim would be that i caught 2 blues and a small striper on an umbrella rig at once, i thought i aws reeling in fucking jaws...blues fight hard as hell.

I was on phelps for the 4th of July last year. Definitely a nice island, idk if you could really label any one the "Best" though. I like it cause its about 2 mins from Calfs Pen and Log Bay. What site were you on? we had the one on the northeast side of the island.

I'm a strong advocate of catch and release......particularly because I live in the west where every river is overfished.

Don't come out here and kill trout....

if you have your license and only take the maximum number allowed, the rivers will be fine. but only keep if your gonna eat it or use it.

That is 100% false in many Western states, if even a quarter of the people who fly fish in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, California, etc kept the allowed number there would be a decimated trout population.

Granted there are areas in the US and Canada where that may be true, but don't pull that shit in Colorado.

from "The Old Man and the Sea"
I read this book this year and had to do a 25 min. presentation.
Definitely not the greatest book to talk about for 25 min...
But I managed.

my buddy just pulled that one from a very small lake near by, pretty impressive for what usually comes out of it.
no idea what it is or how much it weighed

my favorite rod is my ugly stick by shakespeare. it was like 20 bucks at walmart. i have the ultralight one its like 4 and a half feet tall, and even the smallest fish feel like you are catching a great white on it. you can get that and a shitty reel setup for less than 50 bucks and enjoy your summer.

there ya go. 30 bucks and youre set

get a 6ft ugly stick medium action if your gonna be catching anything bigger than a sunfish or little trout. and after a while, all you need is a better real. the shakespeare will do for a while. like now i got that exact set up but after deployment, i'll get a better real. get anywhere from 8-12lb test line and no worries, you good to fish all day

dude id get a combination rod/reel setup. you can actually get something pretty good for like $50

Something like this would be perfect. its a quantum rod and reel. quantum is one of the best manufacturers of fishing stuff

or if you go to sports authority or dicks you can get one like this ugly stick combo (great starter rod)

yeah they suck, at this lake my family used to live on they had a carp fishing derby just because they were soooo overpopulated. we would be trying to swim by the docks (like little kids) and they would show up. they fishing derby was like open season though, you could use spear guns and shit and it was all about quantity not quality. those things are stupid the best thing to use to catch them is corn. i bet they are fun to catch though.

I was out on a local lake Sunday here in southeast PA. Caught two pickeral on a little black spinner before one finally took it right off the line. One was about a foot and a half and the other was a little 8 incher or so.

The real fun was getting chased, like literally pursued in a menacing manner, by an alligator snapper turtle. Son of a bitch was around 2 feet across the shell with a head bigger than my fist. I actually had to use my paddle to push this bastard away from my boat!!!!!! Several times!!!!! All in all though he never snapped or hissed so I think he just wanted to check me out.

My family just came back from a crappie trip in Minnesota, had to be some of the worst days of my life, MN weather sucks dick. But me and my buddy go fishing all the time in Iowa. We usually go out crappie and bass fishing during the day and set trot lines and limblines for cats. Towards the evening we go bowfishing for carp. Fishing is fucking awesome.
