kdiaz+FollowWait, you can't use that perch as bait everywhere? 🎣Last summer in PA, I was getting skunked on bass until my kid caught a tiny yellow perch. On a whim, I threw it back out as live bait and BOOM - 3-pound smallmouth! Spent the rest of the trip crushing bass with live perch. Plot twist: I just learned this trick is actually illegal in states like Minnesota. You can keep 20 perch to eat, but can't use even one as bait. Wild, right? Always assumed if you could catch it, you could use it. What's the weirdest fishing rule you've discovered in your state? #fishing #bassfishing #livebait #fishingtips #outdoors 2210Share

fisherchad+Followlipless crankbait secrets that catch more bassBeen throwing lipless cranks for years and these three techniques cover almost every situation you'll face: 1️⃣ Basic Retrieve (1-8 feet) Steady retrieve with occasional twitches. Keep it just off the bottom. Use 1/4 oz in super shallow, 1/2 oz deeper. Perfect for flats and gradual banks. 2️⃣ Yo-Yoing (8-20 feet) Let it sink to bottom, rip it up, let it fall again. Repeat all the way back. Great around points and drop-offs where bass are chasing bait. 1/2 oz works best. 3️⃣ Ripping Through Grass Steady retrieve over submerged vegetation, then rip hard when it gets stuck. Most bites come as it breaks free or falls back down. Red baits dominate in pre-spawn. Each technique targets different depths and situations. Master all three and you'll catch bass year-round. #fishing #liplesscrankbait #bassfishing #fishingtips120Share
fisherchad+FollowReal worms still work best for meTried all the artificial worms and crappie nibbles out there. They work sometimes, but real worms just flat out catch more fish. Some days fish will bite a bare hook, other days nothing works - that's just fishing for you. Keep live worms cool and moist (not wet!), feed them shredded lettuce or crushed leaves. The "no refrigeration" types last way longer too. #fishing #livebait #wormfishing #fishingtips11Share
jasonking+FollowBeen knocking on doors for fishing spotsSpent last weekend asking farmers for creek access. Got three yes's! 😊 Tried asking about their stocked ponds though... total strikeouts. They guard those like Fort Knox. Then discovered bridge crossings are usually public land. Been fishing there legally without permission! What's your success rate asking landowners? 🤔 #fishing #fishingtips #creekfishing #Outdoors00Share
jeffreyhester+FollowSand crabs: The secret to sea bass success?Nothing beats seeing a first-timer land her limit of white sea bass and then reel in the only two bluefin tuna of the day—especially when she’s up against seasoned pros!

kdiaz+FollowThe only braid-to-leader knots I actually useBeen tying braid to leader for two decades now, and I've probably tried every knot out there. Lost my share of fish to bad connections early on - we've all been there, right? These days I stick to just three knots that cover 99% of my fishing situations: 1️⃣ FG Knot - Yeah, it looks intimidating on YouTube but trust me, spend an evening practicing and you'll wonder why you waited so long. Slides through guides beautifully and I've never had one fail. 2️⃣ Alberto Knot - My saltwater go-to for heavier setups. Super reliable but you absolutely must cinch it down hard. Don't baby it. 3️⃣ Double Uni - For lighter freshwater stuff when I need something quick. Not the strongest but gets the job done for panfish and smaller bass. Honestly, master these three and you're set. No need to overcomplicate things with fancy new knots every season. What's your favorite braid connection? #fishing #braidknots #fishingtips110Share
