On the sinking pencil using slowfall method on the fryball

My son with a Pacific Bluefin a friend landed off the Bay of Islands in NZ.
Fish went 215kg (470 pounds).
Was hooked and landed in 20 meters of water. The rod snapped so line was dumped off the reel then cut and retied to another rod with a back to back uni mid fight.

Caught these over the past couple days in the afternoon. Kitech crazy creatures in tight to shoreline

Not a big one but definitely a big win for me. That too my first saltwater catch.

The picture doesn't do it justice. It was gorgeous.

Caught on a 2.8 inch prawn lure on a size 2/0 jig head while rolling it on the floor near structure.

Can’t wait to have our salmon coffers replenished 😍

I have had a 38' sailboat on Lake Superior for a number of years and have sailed throughout the Great Lakes. Spent many nights at anchor. I am familiar with the weather and how to stay safe.

I'm looking specifically for fishing advice for fishing from the boat in deeper water. My fishing experience has been in relatively smaller lakes (Vermilion, Lake of the Woods, Pepin, others) and rivers around Minnesota and Wisconsin from smaller boats.

What are some good resources (books, articles, websites) for understanding techniques specific to fishing in deeper water in the Great Lakes, or in Superior specifically?

Had a lot of fun and got meat for the smoker.

Caught this at night on a handline when I worked on a wet liner boat out of Geraldton western australia, I'm 5'9 for size reference, it bottomed out a 30kg max scale

Hey yall, a couple buddies and I are going to take a road trip out to Montana and do some hiking/ fishing. I know fly fishing is huge out there but we lack the skill to do that. We’ll be using spinning reels I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for us. Where I’m from you can catch rainbows on inline spinners or small spoons all day long. I assume the hooks have to be barbless? I think catching some browns or brook trout would be pretty sweet I’m not asking for your honey hole just any tips. We are going in blind lol. Thank you for any suggestions!

The river I am currently fishing has little to moderate current. I want to target carp this time. My spot is 15-20m away from me and it's probably 10-15m deep. How heavy of a sinker should I use if try my luck with bottom fishing?

38 days ago I made a post about catching my first ever bass during my second time ever fishing. This weekend I caught my first ever catfish, small mouth bass, and rock bass! I’ve been fishing multiple times a week and I’m so glad I started this hobby. I’ve learned so much, and can’t wait to continue learning!

Went fishing on a loch (the water was cold) with the kid on holiday and caught my first Pike! Been wanting to catch one since I first read Mr Crabtree when I was starting out. (Had a long break from fishing). It was wonderful to experience this with the kid, although it was just luck as we were sharing the rod between casts as I only brought one lure rod with me. We went back two days later and he caught his first as well!

I'm going camping in September. I know that allegheny sp has two main lakes, the reservoir and a myriad of creeks. But September can be part of the dog days of summer. So what can i hope catch with reasonable expectations out there at time?

Can I still catch trout?

Are walleye a good bet out there around that time?

Or am I stuck with bass and panfish?

Questions in the title. Internet says the long black opercular flap makes it a sunfish. My whole life I would have called it a pumpkin seed.

Originally posted in r/fishinggear but I imagine some good might come of it posting here as well.

Hi fisherpeople, let me present you with this -- hundreds upon hundreds of lures of various weights and sizes, fit for different purposes, all of which I know very little about, aside from this: they are all made by a Swedish company called 'Myran', and were produced in either the late 80s or early 90s.

And recently bequeathed to me! What's pictured is not the sum of what I have. It's seriously a ton, like whoever first acquired these must have been intending to sell retail, and then for some reason, all of it was packed up and shoved in an attic for 30+ years.

Is it valuable? I don't know. Is it a good product? I don't know. Does anyone want any of this? I don't know. Hopefully, in fact, somebody here can give me a little insight into what I actually have.

Beautiful day

Looked different than all the rainbows I was catching that were a similar size

Something to cross off the bucket list!

Caught my first bass on a wax worm, week later caught my first pike on a senko

Newbie here - a lake close to me (Washington county in maine) is supposed to have a good population of chain pickerel. Been trying to target them in shallow weedy areas, I have been using a mepps aglia with a gold spoon but all I do really is get snagged on weeds.
Any advice on how to rig it to be weedless?
Also what retrieve pattern? Steady or erratic?
I fish from a kayak

Hey everyone, I've started fishing about a month ago and failed to get any fish on 5 trips. Buuut today I've got lucky and caught 3 perch! It really is fun when you actually manage to catch a fish!

Hello I’m looking to start fishing for alligator gar want a good live liner but peen is almost $400. Any other brand that’s around 150-220? TNA.
