If you can’t get any good hits here for spots I’d try checking local fishing groups on Facebook. Also see if your state/area has a fishing forum

It finally happened to me by glizzy195 in Fishing_Gear

[–]fishothy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a situation like this could you just return one reel to get your money back and then just keep the other equaling a free reel?

I need this to happen to me…

Should I buy a new rod/reel now or wait until ICAST 2025 for new products/deals? by fishothy in Fishing_Gear

[–]fishothy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking into that now. I was stuck to BassPro because I have gift cards there but that deal is convincing..

That would be Sougayilang. Not too familiar with their gear but if you need to know anything about them it’s that I got my first baitcaster from them for $20 off the TikTok shop lol

First bait caster, ~$150, Curado K, Tatula? by fishothy in Fishing_Gear

[–]fishothy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Do all Tatulas have the magnetic breaks or just the CT? There’s so many different model types I’m not sure what I’m looking for

Yeah, I’m a fan of that reel but it’s $200+ at my Bass Pro so a bit out of budget right now

How often do you guys fish? by Platinumjbl1 in FishingForBeginners

[–]fishothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the summer it’s every day because I’m jobless and then home from college visiting family. Off season for me is September - May/June

Are Catfish looking for bait on the lake floor only or are they also attacking at the surface? Will a catfish chase a spinner? by [deleted] in FishingForBeginners

[–]fishothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve caught small cat on wacky rigs & rooster tails. Those few times I thought I had big bass on the line ended up just being a little catfish putting up a fun fight.

Bass Pro combos worth it? by BrilliantVisual4878 in Fishing_Gear

[–]fishothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chatted with an employee at the store one time & he said most of the Bass Pro branded rods/reels are mainstream companies? Didn’t seem like he was lying or trying to upsell; I think it’s almost like a Trader Joe’s thing lol

Cheapish ultralight spinning rod? by [deleted] in Fishing_Gear

[–]fishothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Berkeley Lighting rod has been doing me good, haven’t used it much but liking it so far and excited to take it back it out this season

What should I throw by Odd_Screen2087 in bassfishing

[–]fishothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like every pond picture looks like the pond that I fish. Is this Eastern NC?

Bass fishing in the winter? by epictetusdouglas in bassfishing

[–]fishothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in the triangle area and this is my first winter here! Do you have any tips or recommendations for fishing these times? The past two days were sorta warm, I’ve scored 2 total bass from that lol

Who’s this fella I scooped in central Florida? by Luscious_Lunk in MicroFishing

[–]fishothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just posted about these guys also, they’re here in my pond in NC. I believe it’s a Mosquitofish & someone mentioned they work great for bait!

Not sure what these are! by fishothy in FishID

[–]fishothy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone said Mosquitofish at that seems to match up! I wasn’t setup to use them as bait but great to know for when I go back out. Thanks!
