r/Fishing

I was fishing from 11am until 2:30pm and didn't get a single nibble. It was windy out and I was using dubia roaches as bait. I could clearly see fish in the pond and was very tempted to just jump in and use my hands.

Loving this combat beast rod

Species giant snakes

Caught on a downrigger trolling in saltwater.

Bottom is mostly muck with some rocks with a thick layer of algae on top. Some patches of weeds but nothing too crazy besides along the shoreline. I've tried Ned rigs, Texas rigs, top water stuff, some jerkbaits. There are bass and pike in here but I can't seem to get anything to bite lately. No matter if a lure is weedless or not it comes back coated in algae, which means the action is all messed up during the retrieve.

Nice slot Redfish 27 inches 5.75lb on a live crab my son caught off the dock.

I eat fish but no one else in the family does so I just catch and release until I’m more experienced and know how to properly clean a fish.

Went during lunch and got a rainbow trout using a wacky worm on a #2 octopus hook.

When I grabbed him he a little bloody didn’t think anything off it he was moving around. Pulled the hook from the top of his roof of his mouth. He bled some more. Still didn’t realize he was dead until I tossed him back and he was belly up.

First pick is right before I got the hook out, second is right after I tossed him in the water.

I felt so bad.

EDIT: I see all the comments in my notifications, but can’t see them more in-depth. Trying to figure out why. Not ignoring those who have commented

Caught a 16.4 inch black crappie out of San Jose, Ca

I don't think this is a bass

Late post. Caught my PB striper on Carters Lake in North Georgia. 11.33 pounds!

It looks like it had some kind of disease possibly, those red marks were on it when I caught it so not sure if something tried eating it or if it was disease ridden.

I know everyone thinks their oddly colored bluegill is a hybrid and it’s normally just a bluegill, but I’m pretty sure about this one. I was catching bluegills and pumpkinseeds and this fellow looks like an intermediary between both of them

My brother and I saw this fishing today.

EDIT: Appears we were not the first to find this magnificent log.

At two of my favorite spots I found some trash and took it out with me, leave everything cleaner than how you found it, and i decided hey why not make this trash into something useful. Tada custom dice baits from trash. Hoping to test these out soon. One man’s trash is truly another man’s treasure.
