Super User geo g Posted December 20, 2013 Super User Posted December 20, 2013 I don't like the cut throat attitude of competitive bass fishing. Don't show what your using, where your going, or how much you caught. I enjoy fishing with others in the boat, and sharing techniques and spots. I have learned allot from others I have fished with, and enjoy sharing what I have learned. Fishing is relaxing and a form mental therapy. If a partner is catching fish, and having fun, I am thrilled. I fish almost every evening during the week from the bank. There is nothing better then an open bank, Pandora, and a big fish on the line. 1 Quote
A-Rob Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 The fact that I can't fish enough! haha Lakes often lack access/parking, not everyone is friendly at the ramp or on the water Quote
nascar2428 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Since I really do not like winter, ICE would be my final answer!! Quote

Super User AK-Jax86 Posted December 24, 2013 Super User Posted December 24, 2013 Another thing I don't like besides not catching a 10+ lb bass every cast is when you get that ANNOYING PESTERING BUG that won't leav you alone lol. I just don't like vein bothered by flying bugs period but they come with fishing so unfortunately they must be tolerated 1 Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted December 24, 2013 Super User Posted December 24, 2013 Overall i have few complaints but i cannot stand people in power boats thinking they own the water when i am in my kayak and they start fishing close enough that i can cast and hit them....not saying i would/have tried to do that or anything....

Super User slonezp Posted December 24, 2013 Author Super User Posted December 24, 2013 Turtles that follow me around all day. They're awful mean when I try to unhook them. You'd think they'd be grateful. 1 Quote

Hyrule Bass Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Turtles that follow me around all day. They're awful mean when I try to unhook them. You'd think they'd be grateful. man, i dont even mess with them, i just cut the line and let them have my hook. usually when i catch a turtle though, im live bait fishing and the turtle is huge as hell with horns all over his head and hissing at me. i might feel different if it was a lure, but just a hook and im cutting it lol. one night me and my brother in law were night fishing off my uncles dock at Smith Mtn Lake, VA and kept getting harassed by this giant turtle, homie mustve had 10 hooks stuck in him by nights end...

Super User Teal Posted December 24, 2013 Super User Posted December 24, 2013 When I was fishing 4 to 6 Times a week, i had plenty of things that I didn't like about fishing. But now that career path has forced my boat into dry storage most of the year. I can't really think of any... I mean sure I can think of a few things that used to rattle my nerves, but I'd take every jet ski on the lake coming by, all of the annoying bugs and harsh extreme weather to get back into the fishing groove that I was in. I'm just greatful to be a fisherman, don't have too Much to complain about. But I wouldn't cry if fuel prices were to come down Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted December 24, 2013 Super User Posted December 24, 2013 How do you unhook them? When one decides to take my lure, which is extremely, extremely, rare the gator gets to keep it. LOL 1 Quote

red23fox Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Being brand new in town, a new lake, new to freshwater, and trying to keep up with all the styles,advice, do's, dont's, and........nevermind! Its actually pretty fun starting over again and reading all that you guys throw down just intrigues me to want to know more. Been fishing the texas gulf coast my whole life and had more fun fishing for Bass over the last 4 months than I can ever remember on the water. That being said, be nice to the rookies..Its no the size of the Fish you caught, its the fact you were not at work. Merry Christmas. 1 Quote

Global Moderator Mike L Posted December 25, 2013 Global Moderator Posted December 25, 2013 How do you unhook them? You cut the line, crank it up and Leave!! Trust me.... Mike Quote
Super User slonezp Posted December 25, 2013 Author Super User Posted December 25, 2013 You cut the line, crank it up and Leave!! Trust me.... Mike I've seen gators a coupe times. Once on a trip to Santee Cooper and once on a trip to Toho. Seemed they were more scared of the boat than anything. I could see how a guy fishing from shore could be at risk, but they never bothered the boat. Do they hit baits? Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted December 25, 2013 Global Moderator Posted December 25, 2013 Ok back to the question.... * Getting up at 2;30 am to be at the ramp by 6:00, and the coffee machine didnt come on... * Un hooking my boaters boat when it's 40 deg and stepping in to thigh deep water, and having no towel, change of pant's or sock's... * Going 70 mph around blind corners through a narrow cut on Big O... * Inconsiderate airboat owners... * Hooking a 14ft gator who isn't too happy about it...

They'll hit a top water [especially a bussbait or a frog] if you happen to drop it on top of them if they're submerged, or if it lands close to shore and they happen to close by...I've had small ones 2-4 footers follow a frog right to the boat! One time on Istopoka my boater threw a popping frog about a foot from a reed line, popped it a few times and the water exploded like a bomb went off. He rolled over a few times, the boater yanked and reeled so fast his reel came off the rod! I thought that man was gonna have a heart attack.. We cranked it up and he didn't stop until we were on the other side of the lake!! True story.. Mike Quote
