Was thinking about going down to the fairmont chain this summer to get my first yellow bass, does anyone have any tips on which lake I should fish? might use a kayak or just dock fish, will probably also be back for ice fishing next winter to
So my sister came home from her horseback riding with a tiny turtle, and I mean this things like the size of a penny, and right now we got him set up in a little 2 gallon with with a water dish shallow enough to where he cant drown, now I have some past experience with reptiles due to me having a leopard gecko when I was little so I still have some of the stuff and I really need someone to help me one this one due to wanting him to survive the night and we will let him go in the morning at a local pond or lake as I really don't think we can take care of a turtle right now
I really dont understand why I see so many people bass fishing, while dont get me wrong its fun when there fired up or hitting topwater especially on lighter gear, but after a while it gets... boring. So I dont understand why all my friends and I see everyone targeting bass and even getting mad when they catch fish that fight harder like a pike. I know a lot of people find it accessible and easy but usually where there are bass there are also fish that fight harder, taste better and bite easier. Also I know a lot of this comes from recent social media and people advertising bass fishing like it's the only form of fishing. Anyways if anyone could explain why so many people bass fish it would be nice, not hating on anyone also, we all fish .
Ok I cant catch a cat to save my life im in the west Minneapolis metro area and when I tell you i've tried every single river, bait, tactic and only caught 5 tiny "less than a foot" channels in catfishing I started in September and still going in may, i've caught literally everything else besides cats I mean bowfin pike suckers buffalo carp its insane I cant catch a cat though! if anyone has any tips or areas for me to fish it would be greatly appreciated, i've read that cats are "easy to catch" and its total bull crap, I mean i've caught hundreds of bullheads but barely any channels and not a single flathead. Anyways i've fished the Minnesota, Mississippi, crow "in multiple areas" all for cats and got nothing, I think I just suck at river fishing, i've been casting behind logs, in current seems, right behind bridges and don't get anything.
Ive heard that some countries in Europe such as Germany have extreme fishing regulations and some to the point where you cant even release fish due to it being animal cruelty, ive also heard things about Switzerland having similar regulations, could someone elaborate on it as i'm kinda curious as I thought Minnesota has strict regs
