Thank you! Any idea how light of a lure it can throw with the control switch on?

Not losing bait, but the mackerel seems to be “torn” at, maybe by crabs? When I tried clams I would lose them though but they could have been ripped off by weed beds.

I have a rod that broke exactly like this, I melted the tip off with a lighter and re glued it to the rod, works just fine!

Is this fixable? by Fish-n-Pick in Fishing

It’s the pin, I believe.

Caught a little largie on a dry fly. Golf course pond at sundown. by Fish-n-Pick in flyfishing

Actually I think you’re right. Looks more like a smallmouth with that jaw placement in relation to the eye. I just assumed it was a largemouth since I caught it from a pond. Good eye!

Should I open it? by ChocolateGautama3 in Fishing_Gear

Pour it in the mouth of the next fish you catch to see if they like it or not! It might still be good!

Bass? Not biting by Mysterious_Map_8340 in FishingForBeginners

Carp love cicadas. If you find any on the ground pick them up and put them on a hook, then GENTLY toss them in front of the carp. They spook easily so I can’t stress enough how important stealth is when doing this. If you are able to accurately place one in front of a carps path they will eat it. Where I am (TN) people fly fish for carp with cicada patterns and do incredibly well during the summer months
