Brookie

My uncle said the best thing to use is a 6-7 inch eel.

I use a spinner hook and worm for brook trout but ive always wondered if red hooks would work well on the spinner with the worm on the hook?

This was pretty funny. Me and my friend were fishing this pond with lots of trees around it and he got hung up in a tree and the lure was hanging over the water. This fish comes out of the water completely grabs the lure and is hooked so now this fish is hanging from the branch. He eventully got it out of the tree and got a nice 13 inch trout

Ill be honest I dont have very strong arm muscles at all. I have strong triceps but thats it. I was wondering if casting is a good way to help build muscle. I am also getting into fly fishing and im wondering if that would help as well.

I think my best skill is keeping a fish on and reeling it in. I have only fished for 2 years but I have never had a fish spit the hook out except on one occasion where i was just being lazy. Another thing I think im good at is keeping a positive additude. My best friend (and fishing and hunting buddy) is a really good fisherman but during the slow times sometimes he just becomes sloppy and gives up. I usually fish until its impossible to fish any more.

Id honestly just find another place to fish. Or take a break hang out with your buddies or something and come back.

just wondering are yo casting in the same spot every time? If you are try fan casting

oh and about the gummy worm that really sounds like a good idea lol. im gonna try that for brook trout because i think the different colours would more appealing lol. do bass like the taste of them

Well ive honestly never seen a crappie in person but judging from the name they probably smell and taste like a handful of fish sh!t. just my 2 cents

Me and my friend were fishing a realllllly big brook and I got my last spinner I had on me snagged at as you can guess the other side of the brook. I really wanted to catch more fish (keep in mind this was mid april) so i stripped down to my boxers and went for a swim and swam to the other side and this brook wasn't even running fast and the current just picked me up so I was like sailing down the brook right and my buddy is fishing up a bit from me and I floated by him and hes like what the hell?? Anyway I did manage to get my spinner back and caught 2 more fish even though I was freezin cold lol

I gotta add a couple more questions. How would one clean a bass, do you clean them the same as brook trout by holding them upside downstick your knife in the anal fin slice up to the head pull the cuts out and cut off the head? Also I have honestly never seen bass meat itself can someone post a pic of a bass meal

The best lure that will catch ANY fish including bass is a spinner and a worm and I belive that.

I hook tons of fish through the eye and I don't think there is much you can do about it. If its badly hooked I guess you could keep the fish and eat it or find a friend that likes it.

What is the worst injury you experienced on a fishing trip? Mine was when I was sliding my rod in the truck and the hook came off the eyelit and slid past the barb all the way into my hand.

lol to clear this up. both the fish are speckle trout I caught in a stocked pond and they won me 3rd place in a fishing derby. I broke both of their necks to kill them.

around 80 bucks when I bought my shimano 4000 series spinning combo and some 12 pound cx p-line, and lunch at Wendys

Okay weird question but do fish have balls? I mean ive caught them and cleaned them but havent seen any yet lol, someone clear this up for me ;D

sweet fish man. good start to the season

Just putting thise out there, I don't know if ill eat bass alot ive just never tried it and would like to eat the first good sized one I catch to try it. If I don't like it I wont keep any more and if I do ill bring 1 home every time I go out.

sweet man thanks, i was thinking that too because shimano is a more succesful brand but wasn't 100% sure

Wow thats huge lol. My first fish was a 3 inch brook trout a couple years ago, big difference lol

I cant decide between these two rods, I like them both. I will be fishing for smallies and trout. I have a shimano 4000 series rod type: medium action: fast. the other one is a zebco genesis medium heavy rod. both rods are 6 foot six and it says the zebco is made of aluminium while the shimano is made of "aeroglass"

I keep alot of brookies I catch and I always kill them if I plan to keep them but what is really the best way to kill a bass you want to keep. With brookies I usually put them on a rock and hit them over the head with something or I break their neck but I think this would be harder to do with a bigger bass.

Alot of times when I am fishing my lure gets caught in a tree or snagged on the bottem. I really have no idea how to get it out easily. I usually have to go for a swim or smack the tree over and over with a pole or something. Any advice

Spinner and a worm
