fishingjojoman we pretty much always catch and release and foxbow no there arent any bigger fish where we live we are fishing in the smallest creek imaginable sry to dissapoint you once we go out to fastkillas lake we will get big fish 10-20 pounds
Even though they are small, i am quite sure they will be quite fun on light tackle !!! Once you start getting the biggies dont forget the pictures !!!! Jo
Wow ... You never fail to surprise me with all the big carps !!! Is it a comon place where alot of people go to to fish ??? Jo
No, not at all it's quite hard to get there and when it has rained it is even inpossible to get there, and there are these cows walking there which can be a real pain in the ass somethime.
In all the hours I have been fishing there I only have seen one human:P and it was a man walking it's dog.

Hey guys. First day of fishing season, so me and dad went to the river! I hooked into the largest chub I have EVER caught. It fought like an absolute donkey in the current lol. Was a great fight. The record chub is only something like 9lb, so I am dead chuffed with this one. What's even better is that it was bigger than dad's. First one's mine, second is dad's.
Woke up real early yesterday morning for a full day of fishing . It was totally worth it . Managed to get a few good size barramindi and lost the last "unknown" fish which made a mad dash to the other end of the pond even on a really tight drag and mange to shake the hook off . Any way here are the pics !!! Jo

Very nice sneaky !!!! What was it caught on ??? Fly ??? Jo
Nope. I caught it on 5 maggots on a size 14 hook. 4lb line. I was trotting with a centrepin, which means letting the current take it, and holding back occasionally to let the bait rise.. that's when they hit it.
4 POUND line ??? Now we're talking !!! Nice ... I'll believe if you said it ran like mad ! With the help of the current yea ! One of these days i will try fishing with 4 pounds too !!! Mono or braided ??? Jo

Yeah, you have to play it real carefully. You can't bully them around on that sorta line.
Hey guys ! Just came back from a kelong in malaysia . Its just a structure built in the middle of the sea using mainly wood . Well we dint get anything big but the small ones were equally fun . Enjoy !!!! Jo

Yes I use baitcasters.I think they are more durable for casting plugs and for baitfishing for bigger fish.The down side is they take a little more practice to use.
Hi JPS, I'm like Jaybird, I love conventionals. They are all I use. I do(did-before I got back into slingshots in a big way!) a lot of slop fishing (duckweed,Lily pads,Coontail etc.).You need a good stout rod and a strong reel to horse those bass out of those weeds before they go deep on you and get all tangled up in them. I have about 4 or 5 Ambassador 5500-C3's, a few old Childre Speed spools and for Surf Fishing I like My Ambassador 7000C. In the very early spring right after ice-out,I'll use a spinning reel to pitch very light line and small lures. Other then that,it's all baitcasters with me. I love em! Flatband
I am a bass fisherman and I fish bass tournaments alot at my local lake I am fishing one tomorrow. I will try to posts some pics of some nice bass soon. They grow 'em big here in Texas.

That is a great trout Rob! Can't say I have ever trout fished, down south here there aren't many trout fisherys. It doesn't really appeal to me though, I love course fishing . What size was that?
Been doing alot of fishing . I love late summer fishing! Roll on the winter and the pike!
nice carp on floating dog biscuit!
nicer carp on floating biscuit
a pb carp from my local pond on floating bread!
a pb chub from my local river on floating bread
Have fished my local pond since I was a lad, and never had anything larger that 2 pounds. So chuffed with it . That chub I have seen a few times in the shallows down at the river, but finally got it to take some freelined bread!
Nice one sneaky ! What do you do with the carps ? Heard that they are an alien species ... Are they ??? Must be real fun with lots of drag screaming ! Jo
Cheers guys, it was 15lb 6oz. Its a wild fish from a big loch I dont like fisherys for trout.
We dont have as much carp fishing up here in Scotland as down south but a 34lb one was taken in my local canal
I used to do allot of fly fishing then pike fished for few years then I got the bug for catching the big brown trout we call ferox trout. Some of the big trophy trout you have in the states are cracking Flatband with the big hook jaws.
With the talk of 4lb line I took this trout on 4lb line and a 4'8" featherlight rod. It weighed 12lb and took 45 minutes to land.
