i hae been catfishing sence i could hold a fishing pole! so im kinda a pro…but even pros can learn new things…try to includ it all my box is pretty big!

I have been fishing a few times but always used other people’s equipment. However, I recently went to Wal-Mart and purchased a rod and reel, round container of hooks, round container of split shot weights, and a 6 pack of bobbers.

I fish in the morning from 7:30-11:00 or at night from 6:00-8:30 in a small (55 acre) lake in WV. I mostly catch bluegill, sunfish, and yellow perch. There are the occasional catfish when I drag along the bottom, and some small and large mouth bass.

I usually just fish with live worms from Wal-Mart but I’m wanting to start a tackle box with some artificial lures. Can anyone give me some ideas what types of baits and lures to fill my tackle box with? If you could give me some links to places online where I can buy them it would be great too.

Well, I am fairly new at fishing so I wanted to know what should I have in a fresh water tackle box. I usually fish for crappies, bluegill, bass, common carp, and catfish. I am buying all of these supplies at wal-mart. What should I buy? I only have a small budget of about 13 dollars so I need cheap things. Please also include some fake bait.Thank You!

I’m a little frustrated with yahoo.

How come there are no items for people who love to fish?

I don’t see no fishing poles, tackle boxes or fishing clothing/gear at all.

Please be aware that fishing is a sport.

Right now with spring around the corner, all I can think of is fishing.

Please add these items.

Those are the fish that the lake I’m living on is stocked with. I have never fished before but when I can walk 15 feet from the RV to the water I feel like I should take advantage of it, I just don’t know where to start.

i like largemouth and catfish

Which of the 3 following fishing situations would you rather be in and why? Which one will make you happier?

1) The evening is cold and windy. There’s also an off and on rain going on. Fish aren’t cooperating. You work hard around the lake for 3 hours and managed to get 2 light hits. Those 2 hits produced one dinky 1/2lb and one 4 pound largemouth bass. Everyone else on the lake skunked.

2) It’s a clear, somewhat windy night. It was a little chilly but not cold. You’re around a harbor and the sea was rather calm. There were tons of baitfish very close to shore. Seals were cruising along the shore feasting on those baitfish and they’re within casting distance. You’re uncomfortable about the situation but stayed and fished anyway. You got many bumps in the first 1/2 hour but didn’t catch anything. Then, the bite was wide open for the next 2 1/2 hours. You catch a fish with almost every single cast none stop. When a cast didn’t produce any fish, you will still feel bumps. You lost count of the fish you caught but all fish caught were small. They were tuna bait sized mackerels between 6 and 10 inches long.

3) It was very early in the morning. It was cold and the ground was wet. Your toes were numb due to the cold and the moisture on the ground and you’re bait fishing. You missed your first fish because you weren’t expecting it; the bait barely hit the water and you were organizing your tackle box. You re-baited, casted the rig out and looked down to light a cigarette. You missed the fish again because you were looking down and lighting a cigarette. Then nothing happened for over an hour and you were still cold even after the sun came up. You fished for over two hours before you must leave. Your target specie was common carp but you didn’t catch any. Instead, you managed to land a 6lb goldfish (koi) during that 2+ hours.
Seals usually won’t attack unless provoked. The biggest problem with seals is that they scare most big fish in the area away. They will also eat fish bodies off your line and/or stringers and leave you fish heads as souvenirs. If you happen to hook up an adult seal, it will spool you most of the time.
If you hadn’t guessed, these were my recent personal fishing experiences which took place no more than 2 weeks before the question was asked. Personally, I am more pleased with situation #1 because I was able to beat the skunk in a lake with high fishing pressure under some undesirable conditions. Situation #2 was a gamble that paid off. Situation #3 was 2 mess up’s within 10 minutes after hitting the water; the day could’ve been better.

There really isn’t no right or wrong answer for this question and I think all answers are great. I will pick Fisher_King’s answer because he mentioned seals and he got 4 thumbs up.
