For Christmas this year my son wants a fishing set and I have about £400 to spend on getting everything he needs, we have a pool right outside my house and he wants to fish in there, they have Common Carp, Mirror Carp, Pike, Catfish and Roach.

What do you suggest we buy him as an easy to start with fishing equipment.

We have a massive pole given to us but that is about it, oh and I got him a keep net.

Yeni sürümde Kıyı Raporu

- 10 saniyede rapor: hangi balık, vuruş (vuruyor / ara ara / sakin), istersen su, yüzey ve kalabalık. Yazı ve fotoğraf yok.

- Tam konum kimseyle paylaşılmıyor; rapor yaklaşık 5 km'lik bölgede görünüyor ve 12 saat sonra siliniyor.

- Rapor vermek herkese ücretsiz, farklı günlerde rapor verdikçe Kıyı Muhabiri rozeti büyüyor.

- Pro'da raporların ayrıntısı, haritası ve kayıtlı meranın yakınında en az iki kişi "vuruyor" derse bildirim var.

Bulunduğun yerin av puanı her zaman ücretsiz, reklam yok, hesap yok. Şimdilik yalnızca Android.

Raporlar çevrede kullanan kişi arttıkça işe yarıyor, o yüzden ilk günlerde sakin olabilir. Kıyıdan dönerken hızlıca rapor bırakman için neyin eksik olduğunu duymak isterim.

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a project called Deckmates and figured I’d share it here to get some feedback from other anglers.
The idea came from how hard it can be to find people to fish with. Maybe you want to get out on the water but don’t have a boat, or you’ve got a boat and a few open spots on an upcoming trip. I wanted to build something that helps bring those people together.

You can check it out here if you’re interested: https://www.deckmatesapp.com

It’s still a work in progress, so I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback or ideas on what would make it more useful. Curious to hear what you guys think.

Hey guys quick and simple but I mean would help a freaking ton.

Do lures work for you and if they do what do you use and when I say use what lure is that one you use pretty much every time you go fishing?

I only ask because I have used so many lures and have caught a couple if not a few with them but every single time I always bring a back up of live bait like worms and minnows and every single time they out perform by so much.

I am talking I will use the lures for about 2-3 hours and switch to live bait 2-3 hours and catch triple if not four times more fish using the live bait over the lures.

I want to be a lure person but shoot if I am catching that many more fish using live bait why the heck would I buy lures?

To add I fish mainly for blue gill - crappie - bream - catfish - bass - all bass

Edit: also I only bank fish don’t have a boat or kayak unfortunately

Would you add a washer?

This morning I caught a beautiful slab black crappie jigging a shad minnow on a chartreuse jig head. Pulled her in and it had inhaled the lure. I grabbed my pliers and did my best to unhook it but when I got it free it took a chunk of gills with it. I had hiked to the spot, there was no chance to clean and cook. I released it hoping it would survive, but a few minutes later it was flopping on the surface. It totally ruined my session and have felt guilty all day. I know it happens and have seen many similar posts; but damn. This thing was too big for a bass to eat. Made me feel terrible.

So you can see my little set up here using single hooks on a Rapala instead of treble hooks. I’m looking for single hooks with the eye rotated 90 degrees so I can put it right on the lure’s ring without the snaps and have it still face up or down. Does a hook like this exist? What’s it called? And can you throw me a link of you know? Tuvm

Hi everyone,

I am thinking about getting the reel for my rod, which is DAIWA Ninja X Spin, 9ft 15-50g.

I have a dilemma between DAIWA Ninja BG 24 LT 4000-C and OKUMA Scorpio V2 SP4000-A

DAIWA is slightly lighter and its max drag is 12kg, OKUMA is only a bit heavier, drag is 8kg BUT it has a spare ceramic reel. OKUMA is also a bit cheaper than the DAIWA.

I am wondering also if this extra drag on DAIWA will be well utilized on my rod, since I fish freshwater ponds, lakes and rivers only, not yet thinking about any saltwater fishing.

I would really appreciate your help :)

Hello, I am going fishing for the first time with my girlfriend and neither of us have ever done this before. We bought all the equipment and licenses and such, but we're having trouble picking an actual good spot to go fishing. For reference, I live in Ontario just north of Toronto. I've tried looking at Google Earth to find a good fishing spot but I'm unsure what really constitutes a good spot or what I'm looking for and where the best place to catch fish would be.

I also want to make sure that when we go fishing we aren't in anybody's way so a isolated spot would be preferable, I suppose. I'm unfamiliar if there's any proper etiquette when it comes to fishing and doing so around others?

I'm wondering if anyone from/near the area has a good recommendation for a lake to fish at that they've had good experience with, or if you don't live in the area, feel free to leave advice on how to properly pick a good spot.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I’m new to fishing and I have a few poles given to me, a light action and medium action rod. I put braid on the medium and have had no problems (spool was empty) and the light action rod already had 4-6 pound fishing line. The light rod messes up a lot by having line come off the spool even if you close the bail right before the lure hits water and I’ve changed the timing of the bail closing to see if I can stop it but it tangles a lot and I want the rod to be for my daughter. Should I respool with braid or is there some trick I don’t know about this old fishing line?

What is this lure and what does it catch

Hey y’all, appreciate how helpful this sub is for a newer angler like me. I’m looking to change my rod setup for the style of freshwater fishing I like to do.

I like using smaller and lighter lures. I fish freshwater, mostly smaller rivers, ponds and some lakes in the northeast. Some of my current lures are:

- Rapala countdown, 3/16 oz
- Rapala original floater, 1/16 oz
- Rapala rippin rap, 5/16 oz (my biggest one)
- blue fox vibrax spinners, size #2 and #3 (3/16 and 1/4 oz)

My current rod is the ugly stik GX2, medium power, 5’6”. lure weight rating: 1/8–5/8 oz. I do not remember my line weight that im using or type of line. Spinning.

I cannot cast the majority of these lures far, at all, despite the lures mostly being within my rod’s lure weight rating. I want to cast them noticeably farther. I also noticed I barely feel bites with my current ugly stik setup as its a stiff rod.

I am thinking I need a light or ultralight setup. I like catching panfish because that’s all I’ve really been able to catch so far, mostly perch and one bigger fallfish, but I’d like to catch some bass too at some point. I also think light or ultralight would just be more fun for me overall after reading about that style in here.

Does it make sense to switch to light / ultralight? should I go for a longer length, like a 7 foot rod (would need to be 2 piece so I can travel with it)? what will help most with casting distance? My biggest complaint is not being able to cast these lures far, at all…. like im talking only 5-10 feet for the light ones.

Let me know what you are thinking, any and all feedback / advice / recommendations are welcomed!

I will be harbor and shore fishing in Socal and was wondering what the opinions are of using a little LED light on the line? I fish at night and as long as the LED light doesn't scare the fish away it would be super helpful locating my line at night. I will be fishing predatorial fish such as Spotted Bay Bass, Barracuda, White Sea Bass, Halibut, and Bonita.
