i think you'd like something w/a flat bottom better. at least until you get used to fishing out of it.

Then on the free end of the 1 foot piece of line, tie directly to the spoon. It will spin freely but wont twist your line. You can tie a snap swivel directly to the line and then clip it to the spoon. Lots of people do this, but I think finicky trout get bothered by the snap swivel. Just me tho.
This reminds me...you need to learn some fishing knots for monofilament line. If you try to tie a standard square knot or something the knot will either slip or the line will cut through itself.

The most useful for connecting the line to a hook or lure is the Trilene Knot.

I bought an outrigger for my canoe. It was a under $200. Fits right behind the rear paddler seat. makes the canoe totally stable. It is great for lake fishin.

In your frigid waters, a belly boat will likely have you buying waders as well, which is going to get expensive (though if you get into fishing in Colorado, you may want waders eventually anyway). I'd look into a kayak over a canoe, unless you're looking to take multiple people fishing with you.

You don't need anything special to crappie fish, just grab you a few dozen minnows and go get em

I could only go for a few hours (8am to noon) had to come back home and nap so I can work tonite, but the fishing was not good today but the weather was and on top of that I don't have to beg the wife to go with me all I gotta say is lets go fishing and she is ready to go. :thumb:

The white bass run is on here. Sadly, I'm leaving town for my Spring Break (actually not that sad, since I'm going to Palm Beach).

R8RFAN 03-15-2012 02:38 PM
Also if you are gonna crappie fish get some aberdeen style hooks and a pair of needle nose pliers to put in your pocket...
http://www.basspro.com/Gamakatsu-Cra...ct/15834/55463

Aberdeen hooks have a longer shaft (like me) and it's easier to remove from the fish mouth unless they gut swallow it.

If they have the hook in a vital area and you don't want to keep the fish and he isn't bleeding, cut the line and let the fish go, sometimes they will live.

Yup, My wife is competitive when it comes to fishing, she always wants to catch the biggest or the most and talks trash when she does, I spend most of my time putting her on the spots to catch them...

Thunderstorm rolling thru now so if I had been out there I would be wet

This time of year is brutal for fishing here in the KC area. Weather is great, but water temp just isn't there yet. I'm sellin my boat, so I'm gonna do more canoeing this year

Nice! I wish I had a kayak down there. Access for wading with a fly rod is always a pain in the ass, and it always seems like the fish are somewhere I can't reach.

Havent even watched it yet... but thats batshit nuts, talk about extreme fishing, Jeremy Wade would crap his pants & so would i, its almost hard to believe.

The best i can do is hunt gar in the illinois & mississippi river, which i'm now committed to doing this year after watching Swamp People last night, reminds me of summers trotlining as a kid, a very athletic fighting fish.

Easy 6 03-16-2012 08:23 PM
Incredible footage, its like whale fishing in the kind of tiny boats ancient people used, and it incredibly light gear they're using to do this... its amazing that it never turns for a leaping stab at its tormentor.

Its like the load was light enough that it thought it could outpull the pursuer, never turning to face it, and he was able to slowly ride it down like a one man pack of wolves... hauling it out by hand for the photo-op... pure awesome.

Man, I went deep sea fishing in Hawaii last November and I wanted a marlin soooo bad. No luck though - we only caught 1 skipjack and 1 ahi tuna.

It was delicious too!

Well. Scratch that idea.
Engineering Counterpart went out to the river to have a look at lunch, he came back saying it was less than a foot from spilling out over the access road out there and it’s done nothing but continue rising since then.

I'm going down April 6th & 7th for bass. The water should be 55+ by then, hopefully.

I went out to my mom's pond last Friday and caught 44 in about 3 hours. It's cheating, fishing a farm pond with zero pressure, but it doesn't make it any less fun. Nothing but dinks the first two hours, took a break and then came back near sundown and pulled in probably 50 lbs worth of fish in an hour.

Trout. I really don't go downstream far enough to get into the smallies. I usually do the Blue Ribbon water that starts up where the trout park ends.

We do the same thing on the Niangua. Was down there earlier this month and I caught around 29 trout in a couple of days. No need to go into Bennett Park when the fishing is that good in the river.

How is the Niangua? I have some family about an hour north of there...when we go visit and I get bored, I think I'll take a trip down and go fishing one day.

I like it. We fish from just outside the park down the river to the boat ramp. Usually just kill them on power bait.

Is power bait allowed there? I know that where I go on the current it's hard artificials and flies only. No soft plastics, no power bait, and no live bait.

There is a zone in Bennett Springs State Park that allows power bait and live bait.

I was talking about fishing in the river though. Just outside of and down stream from where the springs dump into the Niangua. Anything goes there.

I hit the river Friday night with a bucket full of perch but only had one good strike right after sunset.
Otherwise we sat there till midnight with only a few taps here and there, nothing big enough to take the bait.

That’s a very similar rig to what I’m cat fishing with too.

Yea boog, if you know how to clean and prepare gar I’d be interested in that too. I had it once when I was a kid, good fish meat from what I can remember but I never saw how it was prepared.

Yep, he obviously has heavy gear but still it tests him at every turn, an awesome example of one man fishing alone.

You've surely caught many gar, whats your best tip, live bait on a bobber a few feet below topwater?

edit- above, below who really knows?
