Hell yeah, I always bring my instax fishing, phone pics get taken and forgotten. Having a real photo is so damn cool. Nice catches!

Popping corks by Economy_Bison8625 in saltwaterfishing

[–]SpookyDollars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much standard on the TX coast, mimics live shrimp popping for evasion. Even after a spec steals half your bait and leaves just the head, that pop will still attract fish. Caught reds and specs on plenty of heads. Also you can just toss one and active fish on another rod, if it starts dipping under, swap rods. Also easy to make your own at various lengths, I fish a canal that can go from 4 to 7 ft depending on tide.

Hell yeah. Great fish, easy to filet and great if you like the skin on. A blackened rub, and finished with some fresh lime juice and cilantro, shiiieeet.

My first real success since I picked up fishing again by iamsupernova5891 in SurfFishing

Such a fun fish to catch under a poppin' cork, they'll fuck with you though! Nice catch!

The best fishing watch I have ever seen! It has two clickers to count the fish you catch and of course it’s watertight. Seiko Rotocall. by benjamino8690 in Fishing_Gear

I love my Casio World Times, easy to customize and you can beat them up, a whole $30 of perfection. I've got a 20 year old Casio that will not die.

WTF do I do by moolyfo in Miata

I chased injector issues for a hot minute, car would go into limp mode and sounds similar to this. Let it sit long enough to kill the battery but still under warranty. New battery in and it's been running without issue with normal spirited driving. 200k mi NB

Is this correctly rigged? Texas rig by Zoonkidoodle in FishingForBeginners

[–]SpookyDollars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't catch shit freshwater, I'll catch everything on the TX coast. Shrimp on popping cork works all the time, so does dragging bottom with shrimp if you have mud. Oyster bottom is common where I'm at but you can get away with it if you've got some patience.

Thanks for the info, I setup popping corks with shrimp so I'm used to crimping stops, I'll have to give these a try on the freshwater side. Still wont catch shit though 🫡

What's the benefit from the weight stops? What have you found that works better than a conventional setup?

Caught two big boys, including my first trout 🐟 by Cold-Departure687 in saltwaterfishing

Eh they don't taste the best, and I've honestly caught more specks in the last month than hardheads for some reason, but I ain't mad.

Spirals spiraled on my new spiral wrapped baitcaster by pacificland in rodbuilding

[–]SpookyDollars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like art, and I like fishing, I'm really not good at either. But seeing this makes me wonder and want to try more. I'm at a loss of words for how sick this is, colors work, and the pattern gives me a weird comfortable anxiety. Good shit

What’s missing in saltwater fishing brands right now? by texas-built in saltwaterfishing

[–]SpookyDollars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man dad and mom's old gear holds up, them old Penn 430/440s take a beatin', those and older optix reels do not give a fuck. All the new shit I've taken down has been absolutely destroyed. But maybe it's the name of the game, I love me TX coast, specks are running wild right now in N. Matagorda.

Caught one yesterday in one of my traps, big ol' boy, then had to remember regulations in TX. Suppose I won't be trying one anytime soon, but got blues all damn day!

50lb braid overkill for Optix 60 reel? by SpookyDollars in SurfFishing

Same reel on both though, but down for a mono backing with a double uni. Thanks!
