Q: If you could only fish one lure in 2015....
...what would that lure be? It can be multiple colors and sizes, but only one style lure! What would you want to fish with?
dougjohnson@KawikaAfelin Nice! Seems like you're figuring out how to fish well given the regulations and having a good time still...seems like a lot of fun!
GoPro Fishing: Powerbait with Gerald Swindle and Shaye Baker
Bassmaster fisherman Shaye Baker went out with
Athlete Gerald Swindle for some awesome powerbait fishing! Never have I been more thankful that GoPro has taken an interest in making some sick fishing videos. We all know how awesome fishing is; with these videos everyone else can see it too!!
Beautiful Brook Trout (?) Pattern
I'm not sure what this is, but a few people seemed to think it's maybe an Arctic Char not a Brook Trout. Anyways, it's not my catch, just found this and thought it was so nice looking I had to share it. Pretty great, right? I'd love to catch some of these.
redridergirlUm I believe it is a Brook Trout! Compare with these two sites and see what you think? http://www.nps.gov/shen/naturescience/brook-trout.htm If you look under Wikipedia and under Artic Char and Brook Trout you will see the classification True Chat. Both the Artic Char and Brook Trout fall under that category. Looking at the colors I feel it looks like a real Brook Trout to me but it depends on where it was caught I guess! Do we have any idea where it was caught? State wise?
Fish Arrow Camera Slams Asian Carp
Sometimes, when people go after Asian Carp, it doesn't seem very skillful: whacking then with bats or racquets. This, however, is a whole different skill level! This takes serious aim, and he nails it! Best part of all, he's got a camera on there.
Fishing Community: Hello from the Moderator
Hey everybody!
I've noticed we have had a lot of new members lately (welcome...ha). So I thought I'd say hello and welcome!
My name is Doug, and I'm the currently fishing community moderator. I'm mostly a crappie and bass fisherman, but I do try out some other types. I hope to catch my biggest bass ever next year, and also learn to fish on the fly. Also, maybe get myself into a kayak since @yakwithalan keeps telling me how awesome it is, and @TheWoz has inspired me, too!
My hope for our community is to teach each other more about this great way of life! I think we all have some cool knowledge to share and comment, so we better share it with each other. And, I hope that we can all make some new angler friends.
So, hello! I've been the moderator here since October, and the three months before that it was our good friend @mcgraffy, who still helps me out. My period will be over at the end of the month, but I hope to continue on, or to help the next moderator as community staff!
Why don't we all introduce ourselves? Post a card about who you are, what you like to fish, and what you want to talk about! Let's all start talking more fishing. We know we don't want to focus on work, anyways :)
The Solution to Invasive Species
We all know that there has to be a way to get invasive species out of our water, or we risk losing all other species of fish, but we haven't found a way to do this yet. This might be the solution, right?!
Or maybe it's a bit overkill...
(on a side note, this tank/boat is pretty awesome! a It's a "single 120 mm unmanned mortar turret currently being developed by Patria Weapons System Oy PWS in Finland." Pretty cool, if you ask me!)
