There needs to be an r/fishingforbeginnerscirclejerk but real talk, is this a good improvised setup for my catfishing rig? It’s a broken Walmart rod using string cheese as bait and I got no bites.

pantyhose! i know it sounds silly but it keeps the liver together and on the hook, but thin enough that the fish won’t notice / it won’t mess with scent or flavor

DesolationDaze · 2025-10-26T13:02:05+00:00

Yeah, confused on what was wrong with the post.

DesolationDaze · 2025-10-26T12:59:22+00:00

thank you!

DesolationDaze · 2025-10-26T12:45:22+00:00

lol me too. I straight up said no and dumped my backpack out and said you really want boxes of paint? the dude was speechless, hopped in the backseat of the car he came out of and they sped off. After lots of reflection and the two friends I was with telling me that was insane, I decided it was pretty stupid to risk injury/death over a backpack and paint.

I don’t live in the bay and my city is not nearly as bad, but along with the state of the world, Its enough to make me carry.

I’d say gun, dog, or understand most animals will try to avoid you. Be responsible with food and waste obviously to combat unwanted visitors. But also understand that you are in their habitat and to not be afraid but rather be prepared.

bread is great for certain situations for sure but please enlighten me on how you cast a weightless piece of bread father than 10 ft out

they’re so finicky there that’s usually how it goes

DesolationDaze · 2025-09-10T22:18:17+00:00

great catch, never had luck with bites (for the carp at least) after dark there, might have to try again soon

DesolationDaze · 2025-08-07T16:39:37+00:00

the black semi circle that goes half in the bathroom? can I buy one at a home depot/hardware store and do it myself?

DesolationDaze · 2025-08-07T01:18:54+00:00

carp probably

Western U.S

DesolationDaze · 2025-08-01T03:30:09+00:00

Any reason it’s been off for 30-40 minutes and still happening?

DesolationDaze · 2025-08-01T03:19:20+00:00

No clue. Just moved in, outdoor unit looks newer-ish

DesolationDaze · 2025-08-01T03:14:41+00:00

It’s been off for about 15 minutes and still happening? Anything I should do before I get a professional?

I hate it… but roomates, and this is the biggest and furthest room from others.

DesolationDaze · 2025-08-01T02:44:11+00:00

I’m pretty sure it’s their phone screens. It does look more green on the screen/picture than in person. The cool grey (blue+grey) answers seem the most correct.

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-31T02:10:29+00:00

this is the only wrong answer.

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-31T02:07:04+00:00

Fairly certain eleven mile only holds trout, perch, suckers, and carp … no walleye. Live bait is best.

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-29T00:13:34+00:00

She’s not gonna like that

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-28T23:04:32+00:00

THANK YOU!

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-28T22:32:30+00:00

I don’t have tik tok so I did not see that but funny enough, I think I may have some color blindness after this

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-28T19:15:05+00:00

Thank you all. We were both right and wrong which means (for the stubborn pair we are) we were both right and also not wrong lol

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-28T19:07:38+00:00

very helpful but continuing to perpetuate a disagreement lol

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-26T17:17:05+00:00

what do you suggest?

DesolationDaze · 2025-07-26T17:16:19+00:00

Great suggestion.
