kdiaz+Followthe curse of the first cast is real😭This might sound crazy, but I swear the first cast curse is legit. A while back I landed a bass right off my first cast and thought, “today’s gonna be fire.” Guess what? That was the only bite all day. Since then, I’ve made it a habit to throw a "sacrificial cast" away from the target—just to shake off the bad luck. I know there’s no science behind it, but too many trips have played out this way to ignore. Anyone else believe in this or have your own fishing rituals you stick to? #fishing #firstcastcurse #fishingsuperstitions #Anglers236Share
fisherchad+Followfishing gear addiction is real and expensive 🎣💸Just realized how much gear I've hoarded over the years - from simple crappie rigs to serious offshore setups for amberjack. Started cheap at local lakes but man, once you go offshore the costs add up FAST. Boat payments, fuel, insurance, plus thousands in tackle... it's crazy expensive but so worth it. My biggest tip for newcomers? Get any kind of boat if you can swing it. Being stuck on crowded shorelines sucks compared to having the freedom to move spots. What's been your biggest fishing expense? Anyone else have a tackle addiction? 😅 #fishing #fishinglife #boatfishing #Anglers257Share
kdiaz+FollowAnyone tried 3d printed duckling lures?Saw someone online 3D printing duckling brood lures and I'm honestly impressed. The creativity in the fishing community never stops amazing me. Has anyone tried this yet? #fishing #3dprinting #fishinghacks #fishinglures #Anglers 61Share
kdiaz+FollowDo you have a fishing superstition?Call me crazy, but I NEVER hit the water without my lucky blue cap. It's stained, sun-faded, and my wife threatens to burn it weekly — but the fish know when I’m not wearing it! 🎣 I used to laugh at “lucky hats”... until I got skunked without mine. Truth is, most of us anglers have our rituals — penny tosses, food onboard, cleats pushed in. What’s yours? #fishing #fishingrituals #Anglers 10Share
dsmith+FollowFishing is only boring if you’re losingPeople who say fishing is boring probably never learned how to do it right. Once you understand patterns, technique, and timing—it gets addictive fast. Agree or disagree? #fishing #Anglers #Outdoors 156Share
kdiaz+FollowI have 500 lures but only use 5 😅Anyone else guilty of this? My tackle box is overflowing with gear but I keep reaching for the same trusty baits every trip. We're all gear hoarders who stick to what works! What's your go-to lure that never fails? #fishing #fishinggear #Anglers 2218Share
kdiaz+FollowWhy does everyone say summer bass fishing sucks? 🤔Seriously asking - most bass anglers I know dread summer season. Is it the heat? Bass going deep? Water temps? I'm genuinely curious what makes it so tough. #fishing #SummerFishing #Anglers #FishingTips825Share
jasonking+FollowI can't cast this spinning reel right 😩Just picked up a spinning reel and trying to get the hang of casting it right. Feels awkward and I’m not sure I’m doing it correctly. Any tips or tricks that helped you when starting out? #fishing #spinningreel #fishingtips #anglers59Share
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 #Anglers63Share
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 #Anglers89Share
