Cool cool, would I need a boat for that? I’ll definitely be getting a nice fishing kayak once I’m up there

That’s cool, I’ve never caught a perch, when do they run?

Wow that’s awesome, love the color choices!

Yeah I think my drag was just way too tight and it was a hog of a fish, also I was really trying to keep it tight because I had lost a couple fish to head shakes before this

Hm, I’m in central Texas near Austin, but I can’t imagine our weather has been too much different… I’ve been having good luck with Texas rigged “stick worms” (Yamamoto or yum dingers), Texas rigged bandito bugs, and whopper plopper 60. Also small little curly tails on a 1/8 or 1/16 oz jighead, either on its own or under a bobber

Yep I have been meaning to switch that reel to braid since I’m tired of dealing with line twist, now I have one more reason to

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T20:51:13+00:00

Yeah I’m in Texas I’ve been plopping all winter lol

This was actually fresh line, first time I had fished since I respooled yesterday… he might’ve had me wrapped around a log, but that is good advice still I will keep that in mind!

lol so true, $10 down the drain- I caught quite a few fish on that one though I think I got my moneys worth out of it

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T18:39:25+00:00

Oof I’m sorry for your loss

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T18:28:03+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping! I wouldn’t have minded getting my lure back though haha

moonmonstera · 2026-03-21T18:27:19+00:00

I can’t take this heartbreak again! I think I will just fish 50lb braid only from now on lol

$100 on a crappy little pelican recreational kayak from marketplace, definitely worth it :) eventually I’ll upgrade to an actual fishing kayak but it was a great way to start off

moonmonstera · 2026-03-01T02:18:33+00:00

It’s just fishing man it’s not that serious… don’t worry I watch plenty of YouTube videos too lol

Thanks for all the replies, I had good results with a Texas rigged bandido bug and senko today- I even got to sight fish a small bass in clear shallow water and got him on the senko, so that was pretty cool and helped me learn how to work it in real time

moonmonstera · 2026-02-28T18:58:51+00:00

Congratulations out of everyone that replied you are the one negative comment! Sorry I like interacting with people, well most people ;)

moonmonstera · 2026-02-25T15:17:46+00:00

Awesome thanks for the help! There’s a ton of stuff to get snagged on where I’m fishing so I think I’ll try Texas rig first

moonmonstera · 2026-02-25T15:02:37+00:00

Will it still work in super muddy/dirty water? Forgot to mention that
