Lost The Big One!

I was out on Long Lake today in Kitsap County, screwing off for a couple hours on the fishing pier until 7 pm. I was concerned since it was pretty cool today and overcast but once I saw the bugs flying over the water I figured I'd start throwing my bass rig over by the lily pads at the mouth of the ...

RE:Getting Discourage

NO LONGER DISCOURAGED!!!!! :cheers: Yay!!!:cheers: I just caught a 14 1/2" Largemouth today! (Don't know how much it weighed due to the lack of owning a scale.) The thing was a beauty! I guess watching all those videos on youtube and the outdoors channel really do pay off. Thank you for all your sug...

Old Olympic Mooching Rod

My Grandma gave me an old Olympic 2080m Mooching Rod, 8', 2 pieces. Does anyone know what line this rod can handle? Would I be able to use it for saltwater pier fishing? Any info would be great!

RE:Getting Discourage

Well, bass may not like me but I went to my secret spot and landed a 19 inch cutthroat. This has gotten me pumped back up. I think I'll be heading up to Kitsap Lake later today. I'm just gonna be fishing from shore due to me having to be at a meeting. Anyone have any luck at either of the boat launc...

RE:Getting Discourage

Well... cause I'm stubborn... I went fishing today. Before heading out to the lake, I got a bunch of 6-8" worms with some of the offset hooks. Also got a couple plastic frogs and one frog that collapses when a fish bites on it, exposing two hooks. I had a much better day... much better meaning I had...

RE:Getting Discourage

I've caught several 4-5 inch Largemouth but nothing bigger than that. I mainly fish out of Horseshoe. I tried Long Lake yesterday but the wind was blowing my inflatable all over the place, even with my anchor down. It sucks too cause I'm just using oars so I can't get to alot of different places on ...

RE:Getting Discourage

I have a small inflatable boat. No trolling motor... just a couple of oars. I have an improvised anchor too... a 10lb weight on some rope. Should I try fishing the middle of the lake? I've read that bass tend to go deeper when it starts getting to the end of summer into autumn.

Getting Discourage

I'm almost addicted to this website and youtube looking at all the fishing videos and reports that I can find. However, when I try to put this knowledge to good use... nothing. If my life was dependant on catching fish for food... I would've been long dead by now. What's the deal? I have a few float...
