ive used spinner reels and fly reels, now i think its time i want to try a "bass reel". i was wondering if you guys could tell me what a good begginer baitcasting reel would be. perhaps a good rod to match with the reel. i guess my budget would be around $150-170 for both. ill spend a little more wh...

appreciate you sharing your secret tips with the rest of us fellow fishermen!

also i agree with you on not minding to get checked everytime. when i lived in cali the game wardens would always do surprise checks but it didnt affect people like us who actually follow the rules. i think that is why theres lots of "poachers" here because the game wardens here aren't strict enough

thanks for the offer but i have one already for kayak fishing! i just didnt know you had to have it with you even if you're just fishing from the shore.

i didnt get his name....... i did try to call DLNR but no one answered ( as usual). oh well you cant control other peoples actions i guess i should have offered mosquito spray and then ask him if he could go down now!

today i saw the DLNR truck pull up and asked me if i had a flotation device, i told him i was just fishing from the shore but i guess you still need one. the asian dudes that keep the tucs were down there and had a couple in their bag. he told ,e i had to leave and then he pulled away...... what the...

so what lures should be used, really fast senkos and white streamers?!

sorry for replying on an old post but so far my favorite smallmouth stream is the one that feeds lake wilson. you know the one with the trailhead head starting at the water towers on california ave. my favorite bait is worms i find in the ground or a small rapala. ive been to maunawili but ive never...

haha i meant is there a specific time during the day. such as 9:00am

went fishing near the boat ramp at about 9:00 AM. got 4 largemouths, all about the planter size, one was about a pound. all hit a white rapala x rap. cant figure out how to post the pics yet, ill keep trying though. is there a specific time to fish largemouths and tucs? also i didnt see any red devi...
