Who's ready for a little fishing?

Well, my 13 year old daughter seems to have passed me in fishing skills. She has some uncanny ability that I don't know where it comes from. She's ahead of me for keepers for the year by 2 so far. On Sunday evening we went out for some twilight bass fishing. She had two nice ones and I had none. She talked me into trying a spot because she wanted me to catch one too. Isn't that what the dad is supposed to do for the kid?
Carbinette: "cast in just past the no swimming sign"
Me: "ok, ok."
Carbinette: "that's to far, bring it back a few feet until I tell you to stop. That's it."
Me (thinking I'm humoring her): "I got one".
I pulled out a nice one too. Like I said, she has a knack.

In the picture she is checking her bait. You can see the worm hanging on the hook.
 
Yeah, we had a great time. She has been pesting me to hit the stocked trout stream one more time just in case a few a still left. She also want back to the river for catfish. She'd go twice a week if I'd take her. My boy doesn't have the patience for a lot of fishing. He's my target shooting partner.
 
I'm heading up to my buddies cabin this weekend to do a little fishing. This will be my first time out since we ice fished over the winter. I hope to get something photo worthy. :D

That's pretty cool.

I've really never fishing anything other than the small lakes here in MI. I did do a little walleye fishing on Lake Erie a while back but that is the closest I've been to big waters. I'd love to try some deep sea fishing someday.
 
hell I caught that little thing in a canal behind my fathers place...... but yes going deep sea fishing is an experience!


My first time out deep sea... and this is what I grab...

 
It looked enough like a Marlin that I looked it up. They are in the same family. That must have been some 45 minutes.
 
Has anyone tried/own a baitcasting reel? What's the trick to making it perform? What kind of fishing is it best for? What lures work well with it?

I just got a diawa reel. It seems the heavier the lure the better the cast.
 
You mean the kind that tangle up in a bird's nest every time no matter what I do?

Yeah, I've tried those... :evil:

Yep...that'd be the one.... :oops:
 
There's one sit'n in the corner of my garage right now, still tangled up from the last time I tried to use it about five years ago. I'm all about open face spinning reels...
 
I actually had good luck casting underhand, but every time I cast over hand it splashed into the water 5 feet in front of me. So....I used a heavy lure and cast sideways and it went out about 20 feet.
I was using a heavy lead weight in the yard and could put it where ever I wanted to, but then using it on the water was a different story. It took almost 30-40 casts before I got the hang of it.
