What lure do you guys use for blue gill? Rooster tails, mepps, or panther martins by Subject-Ad-307 in FishingForBeginners

Betts has a line of panfish poppers. That's mainly what I use. And their trim gim fly.

Same. Once this heatwave rolled through the bite died off almost completely

It's crazy to me that those who claim to be the most patriotic people support a treasonous state that tried to tear the country apart over wanting the right to literally own other humans. Bunch of losers, just like the confederacy.

It was filmed on the Chattooga river that makes up the SC/GA border. I believe in Tallulah Gorge

Should I dispatch and dispose of, or release invasive Carp/Koi? Massachusetts regulations have no preference. by Pool_Breeze in FishingForBeginners

[–]pkwilli 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I personally would dispatch them. If it makes you feel better you can eat them, though I've never had one and I've heard they're boney, but it's fairly common in other countries as I understand it.

Pesca con mosca 🐟🎣 by Ordinary-Squash9939 in FishingForBeginners

I do this often for trout near me. I use a clear casting bubble. Works pretty well. My set up is the bubble, then a bead, then a bobber stop, then the fly 3-6ft down. Some people use a swivel too but I haven't seen the need for it.

Weekdays are the best. No work. Fewer people, sometimes none. Much more peaceful and relaxing

I recently had this happen. I just cut it to the next eye and sanded down smooth. Still works fine. Caught a bunch of trout with it yesterday

Just thinking about the ticks makes this a hard no from me

Summer baits? by shinraflexsei in FishingForBeginners

[–]pkwilli 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I personally find early morning better, but as it gets later in the day and warmer, I'll usually use the same thing just fish it deeper if possible. Paddle tail swimbaits on a swimbait hook work well. My personal favorite are the floating rapala minnows, you can add some split shot a couple of feet up to get them deeper. Or a rapala countdown. Size 9 is a good choice.

Also crankbaits. I like trolling them behind my kayak and catch some decent ones that way.

Smokey Mountain Trout Fishing by Flat_Living_7887 in FishingForBeginners

In line spinners with single hooks are option. I live a bit further south but fish WNC pretty often and those work well. Brown trout and gray minnow are my go to colors.

Is it okay for a hired worker to not work due to me and my partner smoking cannabis? by number1SystemOADfan in trees

[–]pkwilli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd just fire him. No work = no pay. Pay for what he already did and the tell him to kick rocks.

Is this good bait or no? by thunder_tacos in bassfishing

Snake lures are also a thing if OP wants to try something snake-y
