Information

A group devoted to the Angler and the Angler at Heart.

If the topic has anything to do with fishing, this is the place to post. Tell us your fishing stories, talk about tackle old and new! What you like and what you don’t like.

Bought some new equipment and want to tell us about? We want to hear about it.

Thinking about buying a new pole and want to know it if it is worth the money? Ask up!

Do you collect fishing tackle? Show it off with pride!

Any type of angler with any skill level is welcome!

And as this is I Knife Collector, this is also a place to talk about the knives made, used and collected by anglers! We especially want to see your fishing knives -- in the tackle box, on display, or in action!

I was reading a discussion here about how pleased a member was with his purchase of a Dobyns rod. He commented that the only thing that bugged him was the placement of the hook keeper which…Continue

Comment by Jan Carter on September 9, 2015 at 14:18: I have never ice fished either. Sounds like your getting ready for it Tobias, anyone else?

Comment by Tobias Gibson on September 9, 2015 at 8:06: I hope to go ice fishing this year. I have never gone. My brother in law has been going the last two years. So far, all I've done is pick up an ice fishing rod/reel combo. I also plan on making a homemade jigging pole for which I've purchased a inline 1:1 reel. I've also bought some new 6 lb ice braid. Now all I need to do is hit the ice!

Anything you have to do to prep your gear?

Comment by Tobias Gibson on August 23, 2015 at 12:02: Here are my answers to the short survey

1) Would you rather go fishing for the day and reel in two dozen feisty non-keepers or spend the entire day with no bites and only reel in one big keeper?

I'd rather have a day of catching. Strangely it is the one big one that somehow makes up the bulk if the stories.

2) Which is more aggravating: Catching the big one on the first cast and then having nary a bite the rest of the day, of having little nibblers steal your bait all day only to finally land a just under the limit dude on your last cast?

The one big one ends up being the story but it is more exciting to get bites all day. I really hate it when nothing is biting. I guess I need to work on patience.

Comment by Jan Carter on August 21, 2015 at 20:35: I would rather spend the day catching, keepers or not so 2 dozen feisty smalls would be good with me

More aggravating to catch big first cast and nothing all day after that
