kdiaz+FollowAnyone tried corn as bait? It actually works! 🌽Heard people talking about using fresh corn for summer fishing, so I decided to give it a shot this weekend. And it actually worked! Not sure if I just got lucky or if corn is really that effective, but I'm definitely happy with the results! Sometimes the simplest baits are the best ones. Has anyone else had success with corn? #fishing #CornBait #FishingBait #FishingTips14065Share

jasonking+Followwhy bananas are banned from fishing boats 🍌⛵Ever heard “no bananas on the boat”? It’s hands-down the most stubborn superstition in fishing. I once saw a captain toss a Banana Boat sunscreen overboard like it was cursed 😅 — only to realize it was the only sunblock onboard. No one really knows why bananas are bad luck, but ask any old-timer and they’ll swear by it. Even the word banana can set off alarms! Anyone else still follow this rule, or think it’s total nonsense? #fishing #boatsuperstitions #fishinglife #outdoors5565Share
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 00Share
jasonking+Followwhen the fish won't bite, catch the bait 😁Slow day on the water? I’ve started catching my own live bait when the bite’s off—and honestly, it’s just as fun. Way more action, and you feel like you're working for it. Anyone else do this? #fishing #fishinglife #outdoors 52Share
fisherchad+FollowLost a monster bass? 3 gear checks I now ALWAYS doFor years I couldn’t figure out why my hookups failed—felt the bite, fought hard, then snap or gone. Turns out, it wasn’t bad luck. It was a mix of tiny mistakes adding up. Here are 3 fixes that changed the game for me: 1️⃣ Dull hooks are dream killers! I now check hook points before EVERY trip. Modern premium hooks might be razor-sharp out of the box, but they dull quickly after contact with rocks or wood. A $5 file takes seconds to use and saves massive disappointment. 2️⃣ Always inspect braid for damage. My lost bass? Frayed line I ignored after a snag earlier. The first 10-20 feet coming off your reel is most vulnerable - look for light-colored spots or tiny frays. 3️⃣ Store reels with loose drags. Keeping tension on those internal components creates stuttering drags that fail when you need them most. Been there? What’s the one small habit that saved your catch rate? #fishing #fishingtips #bassfishinglife 51Share
fisherchad+FollowSwitched from trebles to inlines - never going backUsed to swear by trebles until I got one stuck in my thumb—never again. I’ve switched to inline hooks and haven’t noticed a drop in hookups. Plus, they’re easier to unhook fish (and myself). Also, ditch the swivel—it kills topwater action. Braid’s great for dragging through weeds, but pair it with a mono leader and tie direct. Oh, and give the fish a second before setting the hook—I missed bites for years until I learned that. Anyone still using snaps without swivels? #fishing #FishingGear #TopwaterTips110Share
kdiaz+FollowFishing doesn't have to break the bankStarted with a cane pole and crickets as a kid, catching just as many fish as folks with fancy gear. 20 years later, I still keep it simple with my Ugly Stik and basic spinner. A perfectly optimized setup won't guarantee better catches - it's about patience and knowing the water. Do you guys think simpler setups still hold up these days? #fishing #SimpleFishing #FishingTips #Outdoors 40Share
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 1415Share
