>>2873723If I start fishing will I get a nudist fitness gf?
>>2873730Its worth a try
>>2873730I 'd settle for one that will pee off the side of my boat.
>>2873723this look so dangerous, you can get that fish that gets inside your pussy and parasites it
>>2873723Dumb whore gets trebles in her pussy.
saltwater, now that's real fishing
Had a nice day down at the creek.
>>2873793I caught 7 nice little rainbows.
>>2873794They all had great color. The pictures don't do them justice.
>>2873795Also saw snek in the water
Need it or keep it.Currently my only rod is an eagle claw pack it (5.5ft, medium) with a presidential on it. throwing mostly 1/16oz spinners on 4lb mono
>>2873793>>2873794>>2873795I assume you did fly fishing?
>>2873798well it's cheap, you could have it as backup, but shouldn't you look for stuff to go for bigger fish first if you only have one rod?
>>2873806Yes. I caught one on a dry, when the light was hitting the water just right that I decided to pull out my 4w lift. The rest were caught on various nymphs on my 3w euro rod. It's tight up there for the 10' euro rod. I have to figure out the best angle to cast to hit the water I want to target without getting caught in the trees. I still lost 5 flies to trees above and a branch below the water.
>>2873862>The rest were caught on various nymphs on my 3w euro rod.I just put a 3 WT DT line on my 3 WT euro rod. It casts pretty well. I have yet to fish it, but I'm very glad that I bought it. When I want to fish dries, I'll just take my euro leader off and switch to a regular leader.
>>2873878Sounds like a nice setup. Let me know how it fishes. I might be interested in putting something like that together too.
First of the summer
Holy fuck the weather has been ass.
Hoping I get some to water blow ups in the morning
>>2873918UNA LUBINA
Fuck sakeLast week it was too hot to fish and on the one day i did fish all i got was a sun burn and dink, this week its raining all week. To live is ti suffer.
>>2873926Sí, pequeña
Fishing was great this weekend despite the heat
>>2873938That's why I love fishing in the mountains. Fucking 111 in the valley where I live. Mid to high 90s up in the mountains, mid to high 80s down by the creek. You have to look for the natural AC.
wear life jacket
>>2873970Lucky son of a bitch.
i got the tiny fly hooks and then i realized i needed smaller ones and also split ringsfuck my goy chungus life
>>2874070Yeah, it doesnt help that hook sizes are made up. I once showed a friend a selection of size 4 hooks where none of them were the same size and he thought i was fucking with him. Some of tgem were wildly different, like, a size 4 b10s and a size 4 c14 (both gamakatsu) are wildly different sizes
>>2873723AWOOOGA
How do you guys personally try to get a feel for the depths of a body of water if there's no maps for it?
>>2874081When I’m not bringing a sonar with (because I’m canoeing or whatever), I look for vegetation breaks and I use a big fat jig like I would an ice fishing depth finder weight.
>>2873730>fitness gfShe's pretty doughy
Started fishing this summer. Two trips in a row I've lost a lure I had just bought. Currently headed home defeated after feeding the lake a lure I bought just two hours ago. I know it's a part of the hobby but feelsbadman.
>>2874087From the photo she looked a bit like the fitness Becky everyone on /fit/ is obsessed with.
>>2874090Your sacrifices to your local undine will soon pay off, i'm sure of it.
I wish pikeminnow weren't so easy to catch and worth money so I could fish for something else.Somebody please put me out of my misery, this large scale sucker is the only fish besides pikeminnow I have touched in weeks.
HeyBasically I'm just not gonna stop using it. (The snap swivel)UGH I know.... I know .....It's just that I'm not gonna stop using it is allHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
>>2873723Gonna take my first fishing trip on a boat with my young son. I already bought seasickness pills. Ill be renting a rod and reel and will take cash to tip the staff. Anything else I should know? Fishing catalina island off socal
Forget the drop texas wacky carolina shot rigs.These prerigged purple worms are killing it.
>>2874079Actually I was able to get one of them to work. Just made the first ever 1/32oz single hook barbless PM using MFC hooks with no split ring.
I don’t think I like the hooks PM uses for their barbless. Friggin massive
Forgot pic
>>2874121Yeah i like the one on the far left best personally
>>2874122That’s the easiest one for me to make without splitrings, however right now I’m wrestling with putting the tiny fly hook on the far right one too. Then I can go out and compare all these hook styles and pick the best one. The only issue is I can’t put the fly hooks on the metallic barrel weighted ones, since they are too long to slide up the shaft and rehook, so I’m hoping the far left one works good enough.
You do end up mangling the bottom of the weight a little but nothing more than it hitting a rock would
Going out to the lake later this week. I've never been successful fly fishing on still water. What flies should I tie/bring? I've got lots of wooly buggers, a couple articulated flies and a good variety of dry flies and nymphs. I'll be going out on an inflatable raft. So I'll have the opportunity to fish both from that and the shore. I'm planning on bringing my 9' 6w echo and maybe my 10' 3w euro rod. Lake is cold, clear water, rocky. There are bass, sunfish, crappie, rainbow, brown and lake trout, chinook and kokanee salmon and a few others. The salmon will likely be too deep for me to target. They're usually fished by trolling spoons on down riggers. Same goes for the larger trout. But I've caught smaller ones from the shore on spin tackle.
Well I fucked up the wire while reassembling but I think I salvaged it.
Forgot pic again
Woooo! First ditch pickel! Today, I mostly drove around. I was checking out rivers I haven't fished, water that I knew wouldn't be good today but hoped would be. Thus, it took me a long time to reach my planned destination. This was the first time I brought bass spinning gear to this region, a part of the state I frequently fish with fly gear.I get one bite, ripped my Keitech off. I get another bite and hook up. Reel in the pike. I was elated. This has been a goal fish of mine for years. Fucked up the handling, which I regret.Afterwards, I caught a smallie. Nothing after that. Fished before a storm and didn't fish long.
Okay last PM post until I actually get to use them
>>2874130The best Panther Martins are the ones with metallic blades and painted weights, black and gold and yellow and red. These really the only ones you could ever need. White is nice, and so is brown trout. Holographic ones are nothing special.I don't always use a spinner, but when I do, it's a Panther Martin.
>>2874135I’ve had best luck with the all silver and the tiger stripe holos
Tiger stripe for this one
I did some snorkel because there is already many tourists here and I shouldn't be fishing, I found three lost lures.
>>2874090How expensive was if
>>2874129Congrats, how long is it? Looks like a young one so good to eat
>>2874143I didn't measure or eat it. Eating it did cross my mind, though.
>>2874128>>2874124They look decent. My only concern would be losing fish because of the small eye of the hook getting fouled on the wire weird and giving them a bunch of leverage. thats the main reason i like the one hook better, the open eye.
>>2874126Id throw big wooly buggers or the articulated flies along weed edges looking for bass. If you can find sunfish, they are usually eager to come up for dry flies. >>2874129Pike and smallies are fun, hopefully you didnt find the gill rakes the hard way. I know i did when i caught my first pike, it was definately a learning experience.
>>2874156>Eating it did cross my mind, though.you should release small ones, for me keeping size is 60cm/24inpike meat is great btw, just be mindfull of Y bones (they're in a line so you can take them out while you filet it)
Lovely weather today, went out to do some shore fishing. Caught 5 cod and was reminded that my nations obsession with importing subcontinentals will ruin every good thing we have
I like these slip bobber but they keep breaking the same way. This one snapped because a fish shook too hard.
>>2874178Weird ive never even seen one do that
>>2874180This is the first I've had break to a fish shaking its head, but the third or fourth one I've had break in the same location after a decent amount of use.Given, I used this single slip bobber to catch well over a hundred fish before it broke so I'm not that upset, mostly they're hard to find in town and expensive online so I whine.
my 20 something years old 20 something euros telescopic rod died today while i was spooling a reel, lowest ring brokecan you guys have a recommendation in the 10-20g cast range?it's been my everyday rod
Only small ones until autumn or winter, how do i cope
I'm having dinner and will be headed out again in a bit. I'm the shop guy, and my coworker, a masculine black lesbian has a great many sugar daddies. One of them gave her an Orvis Helios 3D 5 WT and a Mirage reel. I've tried to get her to go out and use it, but she hasn't consented to a lesson, despite it being a few weeks. Anyway, she lent it to me, and I fished it today. I was fishing a small stream poorly suited to such a big rod—didn't catch anything with it. However, I did noodle a sculpin.
had some good fishing recently despite the heatone of if not the largest i've caught at that spot
>>2874185okay i managed to put it back together and drown it in supergluehopefully it will hold
>>2874200I’d say just get an eagle claw telescopic but you sound erop
Holy hype batman! I just caught my new PB carp on the fly at 33 inches!>pic>>2874181>hard to find in town and expensive onlineFair id whine too>>2874185+1 for eagle claw
>>2874201>>2874203look neat, i can import it though ebay or amazon, tho it only goes up to 14gare daiwa telescopic rods any good?
>>2874204No idea i dont really use telescopic rods i only have the eagle claw cause its fiberglass and it fits in my motorcycle panniers. And yeah i didnt really think through my metric conversions, 20g is near an ounce, i dont know any telescopic rods that heavy off the top of my head.
>>2874199Nice bows anon. Looks like stockies? What type of water body did you catch them in? River? Pond? Lake? What did you catch them on?>>2874203Holy shit! I've heard getting a carp on the fly is the hardest way to catch them.
>>2874207yeah stocked rainbows, they lost some color because i left them in the cooler until eveningthere's no wild trout near that size around mei just use red worms, and it's a big pond, a big deep pond
>>2874207Its trighy for sure, some stars have to align just right >visibilityIf you cant see the carp you're probably not going to catch it>active feedingIf the fish isnt actively feeding, casting at it is more often than not a waste of time (periodic cicada hatches are an acception)>delicate presentationIf your fly hits the water too hard, you spook the fish>stealthIf you move too fast, or line over a fish, or bump the fish with your fly, or a bird flies a little too low, or an acorn falls off a tree and in to the water, or any number of other inane stupid annoying bullshit happens, the carp will spook>detecting the bite Even if you do everything right, if you dont detect the bite you dont get the fish. Honestly half the time it feels like some 6th sense bullshit where i dont even feel or see the take but something in me tells me i have to set the hook and wham ive got a perfect corner of the mouth hookup seemingly by dumb luck
>>2874204Not sure on daiwa but if you have to spend more than $20ish usd for the eagle claw to import it’s not worth it probably (I paid $12 4 years ago), though idk how much the other rods you’re looking at compare or what the market is like over there
>>2874208Are you sure they're stocked? Those fins look good.
>search “beginner budget fly gear”>they want me to spend $500 before I touch the waterYeah I just remembered why I hated flyfishingfags
>the reel is there to hold the line>this entry level one is $130>this entry line is $100>start with this >$200 stick>don’t forget your waders, hat, vest, net lockstep uniform for another $800Vs Spinning beginner >here’s a $25 combo now pick some $3 lures and a $0.99 bag of swivels
spinning just works
>>2873723i just got this old 2 hander set up by a pro. im not so well into fly fishing that i can match line to rod so i paid someone to do it. rod is hørgård, probably 50 years old, reel is one i found that looked period correct. then i paid a store to set it up for big trout, small salmon and pike. i only used it twice, it can be used single handed but its best double handed. and its an exercise, you dont fap that day your hand is wasted.
>>2874219>>2874218Getting in to fly fishing is admittedly more expensive than spinning gear but whoever told you to buy those is a knob.If you want high end entry level, buy an echo lift kit; its got a rod, reel, and line for under $200.If you're properly broke, you can still get in cheap with an eagle claw fly rod. <$40 for the rod, <$30 for a reel, and $20-$30 for a fly line.As for the costume, you dont need it, throw on some crocs and wet wade if its not cold, or fish from the shore i caught my carp >>2874203 without setting foot in the waterLike i said, admittedly more expensive than spinning gear, but i got my start in fly fishing while i was working part-time at mcdonalds for minimum wage>>2874223That setup is sexy as all hell
>>2874201>>2874225what's with the eagle claw shilling
>>2874226Cheap and fiberglass
>>2874225fly fishing is the one type of fishing where its worth to pay up. your line is the casting weight and it needs to match your rod and skill level. if not you might a well throw furballs in the toilet.
>>2874230Good gear makes it easier but you can literally use 550 cord as a skagit head and mason line as a running line and two hand cast with a surf rod
>>2874218>>2874219>>2874225>If you want high end entry level, buy an echo lift kit; its got a rod, reel, and line for under $200. Ha! Or so you think. Lift Kits are now $250. They've been that price for almost a year.Prices have gone up. There's no need to single out fly fishing for being way to high when you're comparing it to spinning prices of many yesteryears ago. Sure, you can get a dogshit fly kit on TEMU for $40. I don't care if $25 was a weeks pay back in your day. Fly fish or don't; I don't much care. Just stop bitching in the manner you are.
>>2874236>Lift Kits are now $250Jfc never mind then i didnt realize they went up so much>Just stop bitchingI never started, i was trying to help another anon who was bitching.
>>2874232you can do that, then you try a good fly fishing set and you cry for doing it the poorfag way these years.
anyone have much experience with beach surf fishing?
>>2874240I like my hundred dollar fly lines and my 500 dollar fly combos for sure but if you cant cast string with a driveway marker thats a skill issue
>>2874244i learned fishing using bent nails and worms. but its just more fun to do it with proper gear.
>>2874216yes 100%there are no wild trout in ponds around herei'd probably have to drive close to 2 hours to find wild trout in a small river/stream, and those trout would be much smaller
Fish for the fish thread.
>>2874226Claws the law baby
This or eagle claw pack it ($30 but no line or anything else)
Or maybe one of these
>>2874239>>Just stop bitching >I never started, i was trying to help another anon who was bitching.I wasn't referring to you in the subsequent paragraph. I was directing it at the other anon.
>>2873978i prefer to just not fall in the sea in the first place
Grandpa gifted me his old lures from around the 80s. Anything special here? Which one would you pick if you got one?
>>2874266Fair enough, i misinterpreted that part of your post>>2874274Dont we all, but sometimes fate makes decisions for us.>>2874258If the pack-it is the telescopic one dont get it i tried it and its not good, the action sucks and its fragile as fuck.The phlueger kit or those wild water kits could be good. Ive also had decent luck with cabelas brand fly stuff, my second and third fly rods were cabelas brand and ive still got a CGR i like a lot.>2874254I wouldn't want to fish any of them for fear of losing them
>>2874287>>2874290Fugg accidentally lost ine of my greater-than symobols in my reply
>>2874291Bitta recreational codfish on my day off.
Had my best day fishing this past week. >4 bluegill >1 crappie >1 smol mouth >1 pickerel >3 large mouth All in the span of 2 hours and mostly from the bank. WAGMI
>>2874126Well, the weather was pretty nice. Unfortunately, it was super windy though. I did try casting several setups, but the wind was just too much for me with my level of fly fishing experience. Fortunately, I did bring a spinning setup with some spinners and spoons. I should have brought a couple swim baits too, but was really planning on focusing on fly fishing, so the spinning setup was a just in case. Spent all day at the lake. Spent most of the day back in a little cove with a good shade tree. Only tree that close to shore for as far as I could see. I got a couple bites but nothing that hooked up. Once it got up into the low 100s I spent most of the mid day swimming or hanging out on the beach. Headed back to the car as the sun was starting to lower, around 6:30. By the time I got back to the car, the sun was behind the mountains and the fish were active. I passed several people fishing from shore catching bass. I spent about an hour throwing two different panther martins, gold blade, black with yellow spots and silver blade, yellow black dots. Tried a couple different spinner baits gold willow with chartreuse and white skirts in a couple sizes and then finished with a silver spoon. Nada.... Meanwhile, as I'm loading up, a dad and his kid show up and pull two 15in spotted bass right out of where I was just fishing. They were using soft plastic shad swim baits. Just didn't have what they wanted. Oh well. It was still very impressive to see those two being caught. Good day on the lake. Hopefully I have better luck next time.
>>2874366
>>2874104Finally kicked the bucket after catching fish all week on this thing. A decent sized bass managed to cut the leader thrashing his head before I could handle him. Should have checked it for damage but I'm just glad he threw the hook before bouncing into the water.
>>2874415what are those protecting wires called
>>2874422Weed guards.
>>2874257Nice
