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!

Comment by Jan Carter on July 6, 2019 at 12:40: Today was a good day Ron. We had a combined catch of 29 fish in 3 hours. He was using minnows and caught his first,second and third Bass ! A small mouth black bass, a striped and a spotted. Nothing big enough to bring home but somehow I can here the future fisherman "I caught my first Bass on lake Chatugue on an early morning fishing trip with Nana Jan"

Comment by Peter Creager on December 11, 2018 at 8:49: Ok, I just about heard it all now. I thought the WD/40 sprayed on cut live bait was strange. Until I tried it. Now its the old stuff not the WD/40 of today. The old stuff was made with fish oils. Now comes up this Slim Jims for Blues? Well considering how greasy they are, it might work. They are also salty , so that too might be attractive. Maybe if I use JacK Link , I can catch more classy fish, like flounder, or Stripers. Hell I will give Slimmy Jimmy a try next season. I cast lures so I guess I can put some on the trebles. ha ha
