Live in Tx, fish on the weekends at Lake Alan Henry about 3 times a month. Usually crappie and bass.. Not hard core about it but use it to relax and chill.
anyone do any fishing?

live bait and a sinker
I think 8-10lbs test would be better.
Also fly fishing is some pretentious ass shit.
Go ahead and go out and spend thousands of dollars on gear and have some yokel in shorts and an old pair of shoes with a six foot spinning rod and a Rooster Tail out fish you.
what the fuck
i see u alarik
you didn't catch it, you reeled it in.
If you aren't holding the pole when the fish bites, it isn't fishing.
I fish once a year, for one kind of fish, and only on one lake. Walleye on Lake of the Woods, Ontario. After fishing there, I can't get myself to go fishing anywhere else on some teeny round podunk lake.
Heaven on earth
Can see my trolling motor at the bottom

uh OK
tell me you have no rod holders on your boat and your trolling motor is not used for trolling (I'm sure you only troll in threads and use the motor for lure casting exclusively)
but nice looking place, fishing is the best

trolling, ugly stik's, live bait.....NOT FISHING.
you ever catch any musky on LoTW Vawlk? Walleye are some tasty fish, they stock a few very deep reservoirs in NJ here with them. I don't target them spefically as I fish mostly for bass and the occasional pike but if i get one of those by mistake he's going in the livewell lol. But other than 'eyes and stocked trout (which will pretty much die in NJ because of summer water temps in all but a very very few rivers and lakes) i'm strictly catch and release.

I hope you're doing some muskie fishing too, walleye is hard
or bluegills too

I do have rod holders, but they are only used when moving from place to place. I never fish unless the rod is in my hand. The "trolling motor" is more of a positioning device. With walleye, a few feet can mean the difference of an epic day and not catching a thing. And with the wind blowing 20 most days, you need to be able to stay on the hot spot, thus a "trolling" motor.
I don't try for muskies but I go for fish that the pikes like to eat so occasionally we come across one. My biggest is 36". My brother sort-of caught a 55". 45 minute fight to find out that the muskie was holding on to the 16" walleye that he had initially caught. Right as I got the tape measure up to it, it let go, rolled over and disappeared. Both fish were caught on 6lb test with light action rods. The fear of losing a big one is a major rush and a huge possibility when a 20lb fish is pulling on your leaderless 6lb line.
Muskie fishing is some expensive shit. We go up to eat walleye so we go out and catch our dinner each day. If you know what you are doing and know how walleye react on the lake you fish, they aren't that hard. It has been many years since I have come back without the boat's limit. But then again I have 30+ years experience fishing that part of LoTW.I hope you're doing some muskie fishing too, walleye is hard or bluegills too

first boat I had was an old 14' wooden boat with a 6hp evinrude. Then I went got a 14' lund with an old 18 johnson. Then a 16' lund with a 35 evinrude. Replaced the 35 and got a 50 evinrude. Now I have a 17.5' SeaRay with a 115 Mercury.
20hp is fine for smaller lakes. When I had the 18hp, I wouldn't go much more than 8-10 miles away. Now, I average 20-30 miles per day and that would be rough in a 20hp. Plus, on bigger lakes where you may have a few miles of open water, it gets pretty rough when the wind kicks up.
