jasonking+FollowHow do I catch something bigger?🐟I’m always reeling in little guys—fun, but not exactly satisfying. Any tips on landing bigger fish? Change bait, location, or just luck? #fishing #fishingtips #bigfishhunt #Anglers21Share
jasonking+FollowSpinnerbaits work for everyone except meEveryone swears by spinnerbaits - "just cast and reel, they always work!" But after decades of fishing them, I can count my catches on two hands. They're supposed to be foolproof: cover any depth, snake through cover, rip through weeds. So why do I keep getting skunked while everyone else is slaying? 🤷♂️ #fishing #spinnerbait #Anglers811Share
dsmith+FollowAre carp actually smarter than bass?I’ve been bass fishing for years, and I’ve had plenty of them strike while making full eye contact with me. But carp? Never once. That’s got me wondering—are carp actually the smarter fish? They’re cautious, unpredictable, and make you work for every bite. Honestly, outsmarting one feels way more rewarding. What do you all think—are carp underrated in terms of intelligence and challenge? #fishing #CarpFishing #Anglers88Share
jasonking+FollowHow do y'all fish every day without burning out? Love fishing but just thinking about loading gear and driving somewhere distant makes me exhausted. How do you daily anglers keep the motivation up? #fishing #FishingLife #Anglers #Outdoors 3319Share
jasonking+FollowBig catch day - what do you do with excess fish? Fellow anglers, when you have a huge day and catch more fish than you can eat, how do you handle it? My freezer's about to overflow! #fishing #bigcatch #Anglers 1010Share
jasonking+Follow😩 hooked myself… with a barbed hookAnyone else using barbed hooks ever get snagged by their own gear? Happened to me today—hooked myself real good. Still stings. Tell me I’m not the only one! #fishing #fishingfails #hookaccidents #anglers3325Share
fisherchad+FollowBaitcaster truth: your thumb is your best friendSo I was helping a buddy pick his first baitcaster yesterday and realized how much misinformation is out there. Here's the real deal: Small baitcasters work best with 1/4-1/2 oz lures. Anything lighter? Just grab a spinning reel - it'll cast way further and save you headaches. All those fancy digital features? Skip 'em. Your thumb + basic braking is all you need. Yeah, you'll get bird's nests at first, but that's how we all learned. The old-timers only had their thumb and caught plenty of fish. I keep my spinning rod for guests now - less time untangling, more time fishing! 😅 What's your take? Team baitcaster or spinning for light lures? #fishing #BaitcasterTips #FishingAdvice #Anglers287Share
fisherchad+FollowPlease don’t talk to me when I’m fishing 😑Went out this morning hoping for some peace and quiet, but sure enough—every time I fish, someone comes over with the usual: “Any bites?” “Been here long?” “No work today?” I get it, they mean well, but for me, fishing is my one quiet escape from the world. Anyone else get annoyed by this kind of small talk on the water, or am I just being antisocial? #fishing #FishingLife #Anglers10323Share
kdiaz+FollowGear doesn't catch fish - knowledge does! 🎣Fishing has become way too much of a show-off sport. Everyone's obsessing over who has the "better" setup - baitcasters vs spinning, fly vs conventional, expensive rods vs budget gear. Here's the truth: I've seen people catch fish on basic setups while gear snobs with $2000 rigs get skunked. Why? Because they spend more time arguing about equipment than learning fish behavior, feeding patterns, and where fish actually are. Sure, baitcasters cast further but risk bird nests. Spinning reels are more forgiving. But honestly? Use whatever you're comfortable with and focus on understanding the fish instead. Are you catching fish? That's all that matters. Your reel won't be the reason you succeed - your knowledge will. #fishing #FishingTips #Anglers #baitcastervsspinner4913Share
