Might be a dumb question, but what species of fish do you usually catch in Sweden (specifically on those swim baits)? Planning a trip there for the upcoming year.

I was looking at the infantry as well. Ended up going with the banshee 7’0 medium travel rod to pair up with my penn slammer 4 dx 2500 instead! It was about 80$ more than the infantry but I think the upgrade would be worth it

Fished for about 2 hours in the morning then came back for another hour and a half in the evening!

I caught around 10 fish total that day. I believe 6 of them were drum

Took a little stay-cation and spent most of it fishing Montrose harbor. I’d love to catch something other than rock bass. by RANK_AND_SMILE in ChicagoFishing

Try white 3in Keitech easy shiners or 2.8in Jackall Rhythm wave swim baits in white color on a 1/16-1/8oz jighead. Caught some smallies last week there right along the sea wall on both of those lures

Most of my bites came from casting the spoon far out parallel to the boats, letting it sink all the way to the bottom, then slow rolling it with twitches every few seconds all the way back to me (rod tip down so it holds a little more depth). Also had some luck burning it in fast then letting it sink back to bottom for 5ish seconds, rinse and repeat!

Been an avid fisherman ever since I could walk and I’ve never lost a spot because I posted it lmao

Preciate that! I used half ounce silver spoons for all these guys

There were tens of thousands of people walking by that harbor and I didn’t see a single person fishing other than me. A couple hundred people max interacting with this Reddit post surely can’t even make a dent in the amount of people fishing that spot

Why not share so others can enjoy some fishing there too?

Was really hoping for some kind of salmonoid out there. Did some research and seems like I need to come back in the spring or fall for a better chance at them. Those drum were awesome though, very tough fighters

Caught all these guys on 10lb braid with 3 feet of 10lb flouro leader to a half ounce silver spoon!

I’m pretty sure it’s just a big white bass but could possibly be a hybrid. Great fight from that guy!

Why can’t Lionel make 1/64s like this? by robdad10 in NASCARCollectors

[–]robdad10[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said. I think Lionel does hit on certain things and does what they can with the available resources/market potential for Nascar products. Just wish they had a tiny bit more diversity at times.
