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 #FishingTips619Share
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 146Share
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 1515Share
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 #Anglers911Share
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 #Anglers53Share
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 #anglers37Share
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
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 #anglers3326Share
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 #Anglers10625Share
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
