>>2837750Your jimmies look rustled
>>2837750Skid has been an open furry faggot in this thread for well over half a decade, but the biggest faggots are always the people who don’t ignore that shit like a normal person.
>>2837758Yeah take a look at your thread and tell me its normal you fucking disgusting fags Sick fuck perverts
>>2837758It is kinda fun watching them foam at the mouth over it though.
>>2837764>drawing of a guy catching a fish>"OH EMM GEE ITS DEGENERATE STUFF I NEED TO GO CLUTCH MY PEARLS"
>>2837768The AI generated character does bear a loose resemblance to yourself, is shirtless, and the thread is called "fishing is gay". It's whatever, but you were stirring the pot on this one.
>>2837771The picture is from a video game and "Fishing is gay" is soecifically in refeeence to this post in the last thread>>2837165
>>2837747That's really funny. I hate it, but that's funny.
Fantastic news i have an estimated drlivery date for my new wadeing boots
>>2837764I generally look at the bottom of the thread where the new posts are, not the top. You’re not a retard using autoload so you can’t just pass over a thumbnail, are you? It’s a thread about fishing, post fish or discuss fishing. Better yet, find and or take pictures of sluts with fish, one of the reasons why KVD is slow to post new threads is because he’s running out of his fishing slut pictures. Helping him with this will reduce the number of threads started with pictures that don’t fit the formula.>>2837766I hate the image because it’s AI. Stop feeding Techno-Baal.Anyways, post dinks.
how do you cook your fish? What are your favorite recipes and where do you find them?
>>2837777I, too, hate ai, but the game this screenshot is from released in 2017, i dont think they had a.i. generated images then. There are some continuity errors like the line not coming out of the reel but im pretty sure thats human error not ai slop.Is that a dink spotted bass? Spots are cool.
>>2837790You are too terminally online if you count 4chan as human interaction. Also, it’s 4chan, you are positing with scum at every remove, whether they show your their face or not.
>>2837786>Is that a dink spotted bass? Spots are cool.I think it’s just a pretty largemouth. I caught it in northern Wisconsin, hundreds of miles from the nearest Spottie.
>>2837794Exactly 4chan is for degenerates by degenerates there is no one who uses 4chan who is not a degenerate, using 4chan makes you a degenerate by default.>>2837795Aye fair, it is a pretty largemouth though.>wisconsinYou musky fish? Muskies are hella.
>>2837796Caught 2 muskies 2 weekends ago, bigger one was 38, but my friend with the camera was passing me and I didn’t turn in my canoe enough so I’m pointing the fish at the camera in the only good shot of it I have.
>>2837821Congrats on those fish, 38 is solid. Im hoping to get out with my buddy to go musky fishing sometime jn the near future, september is usually really good fishing on my local musky lake
>>2837747What happened to the big titty fishing girls?
>>2837830Out of stock
>>2837747
Holy fuck, give me your best tips and lure recs for pink salmon, casting from the dock or shore. They're going nuts , tons jumping out of the river by me
>>2837887Red and Gold spoons.
>>2837776What did you get? I went to a couple fly shops on my Colorado trip and found the Patagonia combat-style boots to be very nice. All the dedicated, independent fly shops hate Simms now.
>>2837901Simms tributary boots. They're cheaper than the orvis clearwater boots theyre replacing
>>2837902I liked the flyweights, but they went to shit really fast. They began to delaminate in less than a year of use, but this year's model looks better.
>>2837921Hopefully these dont bite me in the ass. Ive got some cheap simms stickingfoot waders, i forget if theyre freestone or tributary or what, but i really like them and figured the boots would be decent.
I fell for the fishing meme and I cannot catch anything>8 or so trips on different fresh water river banks and lakes>mornings and evenings, 2-6 hours at a time>spinners, grubs, minnows, etc>able to locate the fish, cannot catch one for dear lifeAre fish even real?
>>2837967Start on easy mode, get some #8 aberdeen hooks, small bobbers, maybe a tiny splitshot, and some redworms and go harass sunfish.
>>2837967senko wacky worm time.
texas rig/jig/frog casting rod 200-300 usdgo
> You will go fishing, and you will catch nothing!> You will eat the bugs yourself.
>>2838001Reel too in that budget? St. Croix BassX in medium heavy or heavy, and a good reel. No reel needed in that budget? St. Croix Legend Tournament Bass.
>>2838038naa, just for the rodwhy st croix, all their shit went to mexico and their warranty is ass now
>>2838036What if """the bugs"""" tastes better and easier to catch?
>>2838040>all their shit went to mexico Only the “cheap” stuff and you can’t find a rod made in the USA for less than their cheaper US made rods.>and their warranty is ass now I still got a 6 year old $180 rod replaced for $20 last year because I broke the tip like an ape. Of course, if you can’t drive to Park Falls you’re going to pay shipping too. Does anyone making nice rods still have a no-cost lifetime any longer?Anyways, that’s not why I recommend St. Croix, I recommend St Croix because I prefer fishing with the St. Croix Premier to fishing with the other ~$200 factory made rods I’ve tried, including Shimano Inteza and Daiwa Tatula. I’ve since bought more expensive St. Croix rods, though I’ll admit that I haven’t cross shopped a Legend with the other stuff in the $300-$350 price range or a Legend Elite with the other stuff in the $400 price range.
>>2838046honest question, and not trying to garner the attention of "hurr, durr America best" crowdbut, why does it only seem like Americans are about warranties in hobby items like fishing gear, wouldn't you like a cheaper upfront price, that doesn't incentivize the company to make extensive warranty policies? most of those product warranty policies just add price to the initial purchase. that you, again, wouldn't need if it was properly made product? i dunno, thats probably a question for some bored economist, but, eh
>>2837971For some reason when you tell somebody to just throw a bobber and a worm on they take is as a personal insult.
>>2838049>why does it only seem like Americans are about warranties in hobby items like fishing gear, wouldn't you like a cheaper upfront price, that doesn't incentivize the company to make extensive warranty policies?I think too many people are worried about warranties too, but the idea is that if there’s an unconditional warranty, a company is going to make the product as well as they can to control the costs of replacing it. This was certainly the case at a certain point in time, but who knows now?I legit don’t care about saving the $30 or whatever per rod that the actuary tables might say a rod company might save by going from a 7 year to a 1 year warranty on a $150-200 rod, though. Races to the bottom do nothing good for the quality of product.
>>2838052i genuinely dont know anymore, i have ABU wheels that i can drive to the old factory and have serviced, which i love, but i also see the decline, how sustainable is this, egocentrically for me, but then i hear from the factory workers that most refurb jobs come from over seas, and knowing that the Chinese market for legacy sporting equipment is so much high, idonno man. its a mystery to both of us
>>2837967Warm or cold water rivers and lakes? What kind of fish are in there? I moved from warm water to cold and the entire fishing experience changed. I needed to learn new techniques for these fish. We can better suggest what to do next if you give us a bit more detail.
>>2838036I feed ze bugs to my chickens and quail and they give me eggs in return. I eat ze eggs.
>>2838051Only because Americans are completely obsessed with bass and don't care about any other fish.
>>2838063>fly fishing with the 2wt in my creek>boomers pull up asking if I caught anything>yeah lots of bluegill>no reposense and they leaveThis happens a lot. They look at me like an alien for it. They'd probably look at me like I'm insane if I told them I ENJOY catching shiners on my ultralights lmao.
>>2838059Warm water. I don’t really want to travel that far to lakes and streams an hour or two away yet before I catch something closer to me. As far as type of fish, it’s usually smallmouth, spotted bass, and sunfish. Theres others of course but those are the main ones with smallmouth being the most common. I really don’t care what I catch though I’m fine with anything at this point.
>>2838046are they better than exprides
>>2838001Those techniques require different rods. A frogging rod is going to be a heavy. The others will be a medium-heavy. I like St. Croix rods, and I would recommend something between 6'6" and 7'3". If I had to choose one rod, it would definitely be a medium-heavy. The Victory is a good rod, but so are the BassX and Legend Tournament.
>>2838060You're not that Rudy guy, are you?
>>2838137they really don'ti'm not fishing 20 pounders in the swamps of florida with frogs
>>2838001this is what tacticalbassin uses and they usually shill gloomis so it must be good.> https://megabassusa.com/product/orochi-xx-f5-5-75xx-braillist/
>>2838066Why is that the case? Aren't all fish interesting?
>>2838067A worm and bobber will catch sunfish most of the time. A shiny golden hook alone is sometimes all you need for bluegill when they're active. Depending on how hot it is there, you may need to go very early in the morning, before sunset and leave by 9. You can also try going at 6 or 7pm and fishing until you can't see to tie knots or see your bobber. If you can have more than one rod(if you have more than one), put one on a bobber which you'll have in the water most of the time and one that you're working a lure. This helps you keep the line with the bait in the water and not constantly fucking with it and it helps if, like me, you have ADD and can't just sit and stare at a bobber. On your second line, try a wacky rigged Senko worm. Just throw it out and jig it back in slowly. For smallys and spotted bass I like pumpkin seed and chartreuse and white. Spinnerbaits are also pretty easy to run, cast and retrieve. You can do more with them, but that's all you need to get started. For those bass I like gold willow leaf(single or double) and chartreuse and white skirts. If your water is muddy go for dark colors like black, blue and purple for all of the above.
>>2838184Thank you, anon. I think I’m going to try to home in on live worm with a bobber and senkos. I’ve not tried either of them yet. As of yet I like the beetle spinners the most as they don’t catch on the rocks constantly but as you can imagine I’m not set on anything as I’ve not caught anything.
Chinook are in the tribs boys
>>2838140If you know so much about tackle, then why ask me for advice about it?
it's my first time herei've used 4ch for ages and fishing for longer than that and only today i thought of searching for a fishing threadso, are you guys cool?
>>2838190That faggot shit will never make it as the OP image for this thread.
>>2838188You can also use those beetle spins under a bobber. You can fish most jig style lures under a bobber. Cast it out, let it settle, give it a couple light jigs and reel in the slack, let it sit for a minute and repeat(jig, reel slack and wait). The bobber suspends it off of the bottom. The jigging makes it look like a distressed bait fish. The pause makes it look like it's running low on energy and can barely manage to struggle every once in a while. It all adds up to an easy meal to the fish.Spinnerbaits are pretty good at avoiding rocks. They also ride hook up. Those beetle spins are basically a small spinnerbait with a jigging worm instead of a fixed weighted head/hook and a skirt. If you like those, you'll like spinnerbaits.
>>2838179I dunno. If I said I were catching bass they'd have a whole ass conversation with me. Fishing for bluegill is for kids, I guess, so they don't have interest in them. >>2838243We're one of the slowest threads on one of the slowest boards so take it as you will.
>>2838066>>2838179As much as people complain about millenials and video games or the iPad drones of Gen Alpha, Boomers were raised by the television. So if Al Linder Virgil Ward and Bill Dance didn’t tell them about how fun and prestigious a fish was to catch while they were parked in front of the boobtube, they can’t comprehend fishing for them.
>>2838125I’ve never owned an expride, so I couldn’t tell you. I will say that I love my Legends and am not interested in trying out different $250-350 rods just to make sure that the grass isn’t greener on the other side of the fence.
>>2838301It's all a pissing contest, I guess. I'm never going to beat my PB in this state so I'm just content to feel fish bite the line. Fishing for panfish takes me back to when I was a kid with my pawpaw so it makes me happy.
>>2838301> boomers were raised by the televisionwhy do zoomers always confuse boomers with gen x?
>>2838323Boomer detected
Last ring of my telescopic rod broke, it's one of those folding ones like the one in this pic.What are my options? I don't want to disassemble the whole thing to put a new one and I don't thing glue is gonna do it, I thought about welding it.
>>2838060I hope you have a license for that illegal poultry farm with two hens..
>>2838365Take a pic of the kind of ringFixed one like that with a knot and a bit of superglue
>>2838365If it’s metal, solder it. Use wet paper towels to keep the heat off of the plastic/composite parts.But also there’s a deal on the Kasking Brutus 4 piece rods right now and you should upgrade. They aren’t as good as a St. Croix Premier or a Daiwa 4 piece, but they are decent.
>>2838303i understand thati like my exprides a lot but want to try something else, just worried about being disappointed
>>2837844>>2837844netted some shrimp in the st johns today
>soft plastics been around 40 years >manufactures still can’t find a way to prevent them from melting together in a tackle box no nigga i don’t want to keep the original packaging for 20 different baits
>>2838440Just don't mix plastisol with TPE, bucko. It's a chemistry and physics issue.
>>2838440Colors will bleed regardless. Just get over it.
actually got some top water hits today, first time ever for me. very exciting. unfortunately the bass were not skilled enough to actually grab the lure.
>>2838256Yeah because 4chan doesn't want no law suit on them they barely make enough money off the kids trying to sell dildos and fefes from 4chin ads. Having any of Mr Fishing Florida Water images without approval from his legal department would send chins to a court room.
What lures are the best for catching pond perch? I'm a Michigan Bass fisherman through and through and I'm moving to some random town in the PNW where they only stock the ponds with Trout and Perch for some retarded reason
>>2838600curl tail and inline spinners always work
funny how different demographics pursue different species. in my area>boomerswalleye and salmon>millenialsbass>zoomerspike and trout>chinamencatfish >russoidscarp
>>2838607>>chinamenthis chinese dude the other day came up to me when i was fishing and i was asking him what fish he likes to eat cause hes a slant eyed gook so he probably eats bottomfeeders but he said that he doesnt like carp or catfish and likes walleye and pike
>>2838614also he said bass was gross which i thought was weird but is apparently a common opinion among those who didnt grow up eating it
>>2838607in the southeast it'sblacks and white rednecks> catfishmexicans> everything, but they only use catfish rigsmiddle-class suburbanites> bassupper-middle-class suburbanites> traveling to fish for trout and saltwater fishing on their parent's boat
>>2838607>funny how different demographics pursue different speciesi can go back up to 4 generations behind in my family and we all fished mostly the same thing because we all fished in the same places in the same regionthe only thing my great grandpa fished and i don't is eels
reason most people fish> like catching fishreason autistic people fish> like collecting cool looking lures, reeling them fast, and watching how they swim through the water.
>>2838622why not both?
