Going to a big ol’ lake for the weekend. Walleye is post spawn and going to try to fish for them from the shore. I did some research on it and got gear to prep but have never done it myself. Happy to target other fish too if it’s a happy accident. Any tips?

Gear I’ll use: 6’6 Ugly Stik GX2 combo, 20lb braid, minnow swim bait, rapala jerk bait.

I’ll have the tackle box with me and the Mrs all weekend so not limited to what’s above. I can also get something before the trip too if needed.

Changing my spark plugs and ignition coils after work today. I have the torque wrenches and tools for the job and watched a lot of YouTube videos. Anything I should know last minute or tips? Thank you!

Renting a row boat with the Mrs and going fishing from 8a-4p on a pond. Looks like the pond is quite active but I’ve never fished from a row boat before. Any suggestions?

I know I am going to hit the bait store before and go get a sun shirt for the day. Probably spending all day on the water and going to bring with lunch.

New to fishing this season and setting aside next weekend to go fishing the whole time. What do you do to prepare? Specifically looking for advice on finding a good spot for the whole day, gear / food / other things to bring, and if a kayak rental is worth it? Typically a shore fisher.

Thank you in advance!

New angler this season. Fished a little as a kid but my dad always got the hooks out of the fish. Now I am finally catching fish as an adult and being a little bit of a wuss about getting hooks out LOL. I just have my fiance help out but I eventually want to fish on my own. How do I get better at taking hooks out and not having my hand stabbed by a hook or fish?
