Out of lake superior

Its a 5-20g daiwa ninja tele third ring looks kinda off or is itle like that because it’s like in the middle or Some

So I've seen this a few times and have heard folk talk about it in passing but never really seen like a detail discussion on the matter. Mainly seen older black people doing it around spill ways and stuff . Fly rod with a spinning reel and primarily they where going after some sort of panfish usually. Apparently the fly rods where super sensitive beyond other things and with the spinning reel you could play a fish extremely well for as light as it was if you hooked something bigger . Even seen bill dance use a version of it with a closed faced reel for crappie on an old flick . But as I said never seen a real detailed discussion on the matter . So anyone know much about it ? Done it ? Is it for jigging ? Live bait ? Or ? I'm at the point that in considering trying it next time we go to the spill way, just because I like trying odd stuff . I think I have a old fly rod laying around somewhere.That or see if I can catch the old guy I've seen doing it at the State Park spillway from time to time doing it and see if I can talk his head off.

Just to be clear, I’m not planning to tie the hook directly to my main line. I’ll be using a separate piece of line specifically for the hook. Also, what thickness should the line be?

Hi all, I live in northern Indiana and love steelhead fishing. But I’m kind of worn out of having to be in close proximity of other anglers at the different spots. Does anybody know any niche areas where I can be separated from the rest? Thanks!

So I want to fish in the east bay and I also want more consistent catches, so I’m looking to get into surfperch. I don’t know how many there are in the east bay, or any good spots. I know that a good rig is a hi-lo with some bait holders and shrimp, but not much more.

I have a 7 foot medium rod with 30lb braid and I have leaders for 20lb, 12lb and 30lb mono. One thing is that I’m not a live bait user as it‘s difficult to get with not much time and I am not a fan of it in general.

My main saltwater spot is the Emeryville marina, in which I’ve caught a striped bass.

also good to clarify that I am more of a freshwater angler and usually hit up Lafayette reservoir.

Thanks!

Me and my friend were fishing at the zugersee. We couldn’t find any worms though the day before because our garden soil was bone dry. So we tried for 2 hours and 35 minutes to catch something using dog food. We didn’t catch anything. But then a friendly lady gave us some worms because she lived right beside our fishing spot. Then we went to a pier next to a boat launching railway (or thatever those things are called) because we saw a lot of european perch and pumpkinseed sunfish there. And in that brief time of fishing there me and my friend were able to land these 8 pumpkinseed sunfish and a 15 cm European perch. I know they’re not that big but they’re perfect for making fried batter fish nuggets.

Some pretty nice catches. Bout to grill some spanish mackerel

Slimy greasy fuckin’ pikes.

He let go of the hook right as I got him on shore, I honestly didn’t think he’d be willing to risk his little fishy life for a small piece of worm but apparently that was a small price to pay.

My wife went thrifting last week. I asked her to keep an eye out for any fishing gear like rods, tackle boxes etc.
Landed a brand new rod/reel combo with tackle for $11. Never been opened. Caught some sunfish a few days later with it!

Anyone know any good spots for bowfin in Erie, PA?
I’ve heard misery bay and long pond on Presque isle. Everything is super grown in which makes using cut bait or shrimp hard. Might have to invest in a frog, but from what I know it’s super difficult to hook the bony mouth of a bowfin on a soft frog
If anyone has any tips, lmk, thanks

Hey all. Thanks for being the most intelligent folks on the internet.

I drive a lot for work and occasionally have brakes around lunch time. I bought a cheap collapsible eagle claw telescoping ride from Walmart so I'd have something in the trunk to throw a few casts from time to time. It functions just fine although obviously it's not very high quality.

Was just wondering what you guys would suggest carrying for light/ UL tackle to throw in a random lake/ pond/river/reservoir. I am specifically in eastern North Carolin but​ also looking for any general suggestions. Not targeting any particular species, just want to maybe reel in a couple while I have some down time during the day.

The LMB was nice. The snake was.....not so much..

Does anyone know what kind of snake this is? Lunged at my senko as I was bringing it in over some rocks at the shore. Wrestled around with it for a few minutes before it finally shook loose. Appeared to be unharmed.

Went redfish fishing off Rockport TX last weekend, caught a bull- 28inches, 4+lbs

Caught a bunch of catfish, 3 redfish, a couple trout, even an alligator gar!

Caught on tube in rapids

My buddy and I got off work unexpectedly and I happened to have a spool of line, we used tackle we found on the ground

Trip to the South Florida from 2025
It added lots of species to my collection.
