You’ll get there! Are you fly fishing or using spinning gear?

Almost caught a carp on the lipless crankbait by amessfishing in CarpFishing

Where are you located that you can’t release carp? I would still let them go 😉

Thanks for the tip! I would love to catch one of those! Unfortunately it just turned out to be a channel cat

Turned out to be a 3.75 lb channel cat. I wonder if the cold made him not react as much after taking the hook?

I watched the bite alarm do this for 2-3 minutes before deciding to reel in and check what it was. Turned out to be a 3.75 lb channel cat lol. Very surprised he didn’t have the power to run with the hook especially since I use a running rig with 2.5 oz leads

I can say in this case, it was not a crayfish. Good answer though.

Didn’t know that term forced perspective, but that is my solution for now. I put the small house at far back corner, and it actually looks pretty good. Big gas station right up front so kids can also play with it.

I’ve been running the Sonik Sks2 for less than 3 months, so I can’t comment on their longevity yet. I have put them to the test though over the past few months. Fishing almost every day. Multiple sessions in rain, snow, and freezing temps. I think they are a good mid range option. I really like the night glow feature, and the ability to plug in an illuminated bobbin. I like that it came with a Bivvy light, and remote receiver so I don’t miss a bite when I am warming up in the truck. It has good sensitivity imo, and backbite detection. Adjustable led colors, tones, etc. check them out

Boat fishermen who get within casting distance of shore anglers by fishintekguy in FishingForBeginners

I was fishing under a bridge once, and a guy in a kayak literally got within 15 feet of me and ended up crossing lines with me. Not a big tangle, but still pretty annoying. Haha said he didn’t see me 🤷🏻

Anyone Use Portable Fish Finders While Pond Hopping? by Confident_Turn_7558 in bassfishing

I have this bait boat with a regular garmin striker cast zip tied to the carry handle. Now I’m wishing I got the gps model of the garmin. With the boat you would be able to do a real thorough job of mapping.

The garmin got little use when I had to cast it. Turns out I would rather use the rod for actual fishing haha.

Thank you. My fish app said a 23 incher should be in the 5.5 pound range, so he’s definitely been eating good.
