I know it's probably hard to tell or know for sure. I really need to get a scale, but how big would you estimate catfish is? If it helps any I'm 5' 4" and 122lbs. I'm just si excited lol

Saltwater One hour lure session PB

Just the one fish with two shots because it’s a current PB and why the hell wouldn’t I want to show it off. Caught on a white paddle tail in the harbour. Two fish hunting together the first strike was a miss where the fish darted from about 1m away and then from the shadows came this. My drag started screaming as it pulled towards the harbour gate to the left of me. I would say that’s an excellent result. Now to wake up in 4hrs to begin my day.

I have caught a lot of largemouth in Texas but never one like this (North West Arkansas) fought like a demon!

I'm not sure how many copies of this are floating around on the net. But I just wanted to share this just in case there are none. Instructions for the Tadpole Pocket Fisherman from 1977.

Caught this lil striped bass(southern Illinois) and the stripes are misaligned partway through. Just curious how common this is.

Night surf bite. This croaker wouldn’t stop making noise!

Sent a bait out into the dark on the surf rod and hooked into this solid white croaker (Pennahia argentata) here in Korea. The moment it cleared the water, that loud croaking sound started right up. Always a fun surprise during a night surf session. Tight lines everyone!

Saw a trout chase this, the kastmaster moved as if it was two dimensional. I could feel the disappointment from the fish as he sulked back into the weeds

What’s the one fishing gear you swear by and why!

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for ideas on what to get my husband for Christmas. We live in NW Florida/ panhandle and he fishes in the bay a lot and offshore fishing occasionally.

Mostly catches redfish, bass, snapper. Any suggestions for this type of fishing would be really appreciated.

It can be stocking stuffer ideas to something bigger. He’s got plenty of poles. Thanks.

Crestliner 1850 Bass Hawk - SureMount Gunnel Tracks

1 Upvotes

Anybody with a bass hawk or other Crestliner that has the SureMount gunnel track system? Looking to utilize it (if possible) for trolling equipment like Rod Trees and down riggers.

I've seen a couple blank "accessory plates" but is it feasible to use these for such techniques? I found RodTrees.com might have something based on some Youtube videos, but their website is dogshit.

Anyone with experience here?

Just a collapsible rod, worms, and a red bull after work. Was much needed.


r/Fishing • • 1d ago

Anyone ever try gizzard shad (or any other freshwater cut bait) for saltwater fishing? Planning on targeting sharks, redfish, and trout along the Texas coast next week.

Spent a couple hours at the local pond with a probably 1.5 inch rooster tail and did pretty good. Until the pond monster took my rooster. Not pictured, tree pound limb brim and discarded fishing line.
