Just as the title says. I got a dark mark tattoo a long time ago when I was young that I would like to cover up but don’t really know how. Would love something first law inspired to cover it up
First day of salmon season here and I’m not having any luck throwing spinners and spoons. I’m fishing the confluence of snake and Clearwater river in Idaho if that’s any help. Lots of people out on boats but haven’t seen many people fishing from the bank. It’s a pretty large area and not a lot of current to where I can just let the current do the work. From my understanding the fish like to sit in this area. I’ve been trying different depths and sizes and colors. Should I go pick up some scent to add to my spoons? Would appreciate any advice. Specifically targeting chinook as that’s what’s in season
Any tips for catching salmon from the bank? I’ve got spinners and spoons. Is it worth trying to fish the confluence area?
Seen online to use roboworms on a drop shot. Can’t find those anywhere locally, will these work? First time fishing a drop shot and water is real stained
I joined the free agent list for the Pullman fall coed softball. Anyone know if anyone ever gets called on from that?
Edit: sounds like a low chance of getting picked off the free agent list. If anyone needs an extra dude I can play anywhere and have my own bat. Played 10 years of little league as a kid and helped my last coed rec team win our league.
My rods rated for 3/4 oz and up lures and I’m looking at spinners and spoons right now at Walmart and kind of having trouble finding some that large. The ones I am finding seem ridiculously big and they say they run deep. I’m a bit worried about snagging on rocks near the bank because I know the river I plan to fish can be fairly shallow with a lot of rocks. I remember seeing people say to use size 5 spinners but they’re only 1/2 oz. Do I go with some of the 1/2 oz ones and use some split shots or something? Maybe put them under a bobber to control depth? Will I be able to just throw the 1/2 oz ones no problem as is? Any advice would be great
Got some off brands off Amazon and just threw em on something I had already which happened to be 1/10 oz Ned rig. Was a little concerned there wasn’t enough hook exposed but it worked out. Got this guy on my ultralight setup so a nice fight

Any recommendations for where I can get an apartment in Moscow or Pullman with a bad credit score? My income is fair enough but my credit score sucks
Last cast of the night with a Ned rig fishin for smallies on the river. I was reeling it in and once it got close to me I said fuck it and just started bringing it back when I hooked something massive. I’ve landed plenty of ~5lb bass that hardly pull drag but this thing had it screamin. That was crazy
Edit: I think what most likely happened is I foul hooked a carp. I have seen big ones swimming around in the exact same area that I hooked this one. In hindsight I’m glad my drag wasn’t super tight and it got off relatively easy
I bought one a while back and I love this reel so much. Been going around to stores trying other reels that I see mentioned a lot and they all feel flimsy compared to it so I just went ahead and ordered another for a different pole. Found them half off so just thought I’d spread the good word
House sitting for a friend and they’ve got both of them on the shelf. Trying to decide which one I should start. I’m a huge first law fan if that helps
His two friends that he was hanging out with stuck with him as I fought him out from under the dock. Lmao better friends than I’ve got! It was the first hot day after a pretty cool week and the bite was super slow. Managed to fling my wacky rig under the dock I was standing on and saw the line start to move so I set the hook and started crankin this hog. His two similar sized friends were there by his side as I wrangled him out. Never seen that before! I did send him home though. Pretty sure I saw them again an hour later at the next dock over and they wanted nothing to do with me
This is my first year fishing so I’m still pretty new to it but I would like to start preparing for the opening of salmon and steelhead season which starts here in a couple months. I’ll be bank fishing on the snake and Clearwater river in Idaho. I do have a two pole permit and would like to attempt to use both if I can. I’m thinking one rod for plunking and one for spoons. The rivers are pretty wide so I think I would like to prioritize casting distance. I don’t really know what all I’ll be catching but I’d like to be prepared to bring in a big one. I’m thinking I’ll want a pretty long pole for plunking, at least 10-12 feet? And probably 9-10 foot pole for spoons? What size would you recommend? I would really appreciate budget combo recommendations as I don’t have a ton of money to spend. Probably around $100 each if it’s possible. Also just other basic advice would be great. Especially if you’re in the same area
At that point with fishing where its time to graduate from bank fishing and get a boat or kayak. Im a bit paranoid about falling in and losing all my stuff for some reason. Does this ever actually happen?
Holy cow these things are fun to catch. Caught it on a weighted wacky rig slowly dragged across the bottom
these are about as big as they get in my lake
It’s my first time fishing a lake this huge. Ive only fished smaller reservoirs. Havent caught shit except a million little yellow perch. I know there’s a lot of panfish and there should be some trout. If it’s big enough for the perch to bite I’ve pretty much caught them on it but can’t get anything else. Ive thrown a wacky rig a million times to and nothing on that.
Hows the fishing around Heyburn state park? I’ve never been there. No boat just walking around and fishing from the bank. Is it any good? Would it be worth driving a little further from my normal spots to give it a shot? Mostly interested in fishing for bass but enjoy catching anything that bites. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask
