Besides that, I have a small arsenal of stuff. My favorite is whatever is working that day.

mostly i just use salmon eggs or corn
but whatever they are hitting on that day is the best
i try not to get attached to a lure because i lose em like nobody's business

Puns!
But yes, fishing rocks and it is the only time I ever do realtalk with my dad. Hopefully go soon! So relaxing!
'cause i'm like CL there. i've likely left a good college education wrapped around many a stump.

it's also the most likely to get hung up.

Rig is weedless style like the bottom of this picture.

Saltwater I usually use shrimp.
Favorite will always be topwater plugs though. Nothing beats a largemouth coming up on a topwater.

Jokes on me I have a fractured elbow on my reeling arm.

I've always used live bait.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
or little bundles of chicken liver in a piece of cut-up nylon stocking if we're trying to get some catfish.
The biggest I ever caught was a foot long smallmouth bass that I had mounted and put on my wall because hey that's what you do with fish you don't throw back, right
Well, other than eating them I mean

My favorite fishing is perch fishing.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
its run by a couple of old hippies who do nothing but fly fish all day
its pretty sweet
Some summer days on Lake Erie you couldn't keep a line in the water more than few seconds and you'd fill a paint bucket up with 90 perch in like an hour. It's not as good as it used to be though. Also lots of little fish is a lot more work to get them in the fryer.
Also, I need to get back out there and do some deep sea or off-shore fishing. It's been a loooooong time.
If I'm using bait offshore on reefs, I'll use squid, octopus or prawns and I'll usually go for snapper, dhufish and cobia. If I'm fishing onshore, it's usually mussels, prawns and squid for bait going for skippy, herring, taylor again, mulloway and whiting
Luckily, the west coast of Australia is not super over-fished so you can still catch good fish not far from major cities and towns
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

I can't wait!
He's already caught a fish bigger than 99% of fish I've caught on his Diego rod (24-26" Catfish)
edit: Dalton, that was my favorite lure for years.
Not that anyone ever looks cool in a fishing vest, but it's all relative I guess.

and maybe it was 18" not 24"
damnable photographic evidence
also of note is my terrible widows peak =/
This changes next get together.
I REALLY REALLY wanted to go fishing this last time, but no.
I say we go hit some appalachia streams this fall Ed.

"Think of it as Evolution in Action"

Be careful of some of those Appalachia folk. They'll rape your city-boy mouth, kill ya', and then they'll skin yer hide off to make a banjo.

My grandparents favorite thing is a fishing camp they lease out in the middle of nowhere south louisiana. It was built by oil speculators in the 70's and has caught every hurricane in the mouth since then.
I've been there a few times.
It's... it's interesting. Lotta snakes. Lotta alligators.
Behind it is a federal wildlife preserve. And in front is a shallow alligator-laden canal. The only access is by boat. No electricity, no running water. A 15 minute boat ride from both salt and fresh water fishing spots.
They stay there days at a time. I don't think I inherited the genes necessary to tolerate this more than once or twice in a lifetime.

this is where i want to go.
because next dirty souf, catfish courtbouillon.
and again, i will need to buy a pot.

I guess I am just too domesticated.
I mean. It was alright. But 36 hours was pretty much my limit. I was like "uhh, I'd like to take a shower today, thanks".
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
just scooch over an alligator and a few water moccasins and grab a bath!
No running water, just an old well pump and a slapped together filtration set up so we wouldn't die of arsenic and lead poisoning from the frac water runoff from mining and drilling. The out house was fun at night. Take a lantern and your gun...just in case. Still, I caught tons of trout in the stream and shot a whole lot of wildlife to exert my human dominance over them, and then we ate the stuff.

My favorite fishing experience happened when I was 12. I went to Canada with my dad, uncle, grandpa and one of my grandpa's friends. We caught 1500 blue gills in 5 days, because there is no limit on them in Canada. We spent more time cleaning and packing the fish than we spent catching them.
