I am a decent catfishermen and am trying to expand my horizons. I need different perspectives for better ideas as it were.

Scenarios:

1. River, no rapids, strong current with no real calm spots to cast a sink rig.

2. Lake, bank fishing at noon. Calm waters

3. Dam or spillway, fast churning water

Can you give me ideas, thoughts, suggestions and advice for gear and other tricks for these pls

So i want to fish in murky water in lakes and rivers. My primary targets are large catfish and gar(size fosnt matter). I am a systematic and logical person once something is explained to me in detail i rarely forget it. I have 3 WHISKERSEEKER bobbers and the rest of the gear for it. I just need to know:what is the CORRECT ORDER to put them on the line step by step. Can anyone give me a detailed list of the material and steps including length of line, beads and other such things in order to get the hang of hit. Please and thank you.

So I want to go gar/catfish fishing tomorrow by a lake/river.

My normal set up is a 18'' leader with a pyramid weight slider and either a treble or a circle hook 4"

I want to know whats best for each and what is the best time that gar strike? Any advice will help thx

I have no friends, no real family

I have no skills, talents or knowledge to help me succeed in life.

Im addicted to dopamine because otherwise I feel completly numb throughout my life.

I have an alcoholic mother

A non caring father

A sister who hates me just for existing

And 2 older brothers that don't care aboht me at all and probably never did or will.

I crave attention from others to feel like I exist in this world. Yet always fall short. My life is a joke. That's the purest truth that can exist. My life is a joke. So go ahead and laugh at me its all im good for. Why do i even exist?

​

I live for the rush of joy yet it always fades and im looking for my next fix.

I play chess... that fades

I write a story.... that fades

I go fishing.... that fades

I play card games... that fades

On and on and on it goes.

I have no ambitions in life never have never will.

I have no special talents, no special skills.... i have nothing.

I crave dopamine like its heroine. If I don't do something fun I feel literally nothing. Everything is numb to me.

What the heck am I doing with my life. When i get comfortable I look for ways to get high even if its self destructive financially.

Why? What is it i want besides food, shelter and a good bed? Why do i exist?

I went to a strip club last night...didnt enjoy it.... when I was younger, I was addicted to them. I hadn't had "relations" yet with a women and it felt that that was the closest I could be with one at the time. After I had been with a women... the interest just kind of disappeared. Before last night it had been a few years since id been to one. When I was there it just felt hollow and the mood felt expected. Like: you walk in girls "flirt" for a dance you want some dance or you pay for a dance. That's it but it just didnt feel like me anymore.

Have i matured? Do i see women in a different light now? Any advice or different perspectives will help thx.

First a bit of context. I have OCD, anhidonia, autism(high functioning), ADHD, a bit of a narcassist, slight dyslexia and a bit of paranoia.

I have no ambition.... I don't want anything more out of life than good food, a safe place to sleep, a good job and a potential partner in the future. I feel nothing on a day to day basis. I seek out thrills that I can hyperfixate on that gives me pleasure until it wares off and I look for the next thing. I want to feel something other than pain and anxiety in life. I have low-self esteem and don't like to be told what to do (in a sense). I don't like to feel that Im not pulling my weight at work. Im a perfectionist. Both in my life and how I judge others. I am socially awkward and cant relate to others so I tend to be alone. All I've ever wanted was friends but I know that due to my own short comings and the times we live in that thats not possible. I get upset when I feel that my im looked down on and at other times when I am not being respected. I was bullied alot in school due to my awkwardness so I learned to be self reliant. I don't trust others due to constantly feeling that they don't care about me and childhood trauma of constantly being rejected by my school mates. I hate the world for shunning me and feel that I deserve to be loved and accepted by others no matter what but am aware enough to know that that wont happen. Im also 95% an atheist. I look towards logic and reason to be my guide so naturally that goes into conflict with religion. Yet I cant shake the last 5% as I grew up in a religious environment. I don't have a real family. My dad is a pure narcissist and has thrown away everything that he dosnt like including me. My siblings don't talk to me either. My sister hates me for literally being born and my second oldest brother who ive always wanted to be accepted by just wont do it but has a close relationship with my sister. I havent spoken to my eldest brother in many years.

That is everything I can think of to describe myself. So I ask you all... what kind of person am I. What are my flaws? What are my strengths? And what do do I need to work on?

I've started a group for people in the dallas/fort worth area. Its so that people can post thier locations and give feedback to others so they can learn where to go to find good spots. Dallas has been lacking such a group so I thought it would be nice.
