In angling, how do you use a bait runner reel?
I am new to carp fishing, and want to know how to use a shimano bait runner reel that I have just aquired.
cast out, place rod on rod pod /bite alarm turn bait runner on then when fish take bait its free to run and take as much line as needed the tension can be set just like your drag when you pick up your rod either turn handle(bait runner will clip off ) or switch off and then reel in as normal with or with out fish
this is ideal for your bite alarm
tight lines

If you had to fish with a yahoo pro who would it be and where would you fish?
I know I asked this before but since more people will be coming on the hell with it
First of all I will take Chad and his family to visit Pheasants tail and we will be flyfishing with pigeons tails on our head.
While they are busy I will go fishing with givemename and FisherKing to check out the bikini contests in FL and bass/alligator fish all day
When they are asleep I will stop by Backwater Charlies place and fish/spear carp for the remainder of the night and well drive all the way down to visit Art. Before we fish we will pick up Brandon in Tequila Mexico for some good old whiskey and fish in the Pacific for a few days.Nathan S will tag along and bring binoculars and the tackle for fishing and checking out the scenary.
Art will drop us off at the airport and then will visit FishSteelhead and head out to the river to catch his lunkers that he has been saving us all year long
Josh and Trigger will distract them while I sneak away to fish with Injun. Well be heading to the Lousiana forest to catch crawdads and lunker catfish. Wormist and GrandMaster will drive us to Texas and will fish for some Bass with Texasjig.
By that time anyone else that I forgot to mention will find out and well all fish together.
If you ever get up around the Pacific Northwest BC to fish, these pristine waters have plenty to offer fresh or saltwater. Or perhaps just some info for fishin spots around Southeast Tx and La. my old hometown fishing spots. Been fishin all around this country.lol… 40yr exp Pacific Northwest guide
If I was fishing for catfish or carp, what is the best bait to use??
I heard hotdogs, is that true???
hey man, yea hot dogs work at times but it is slow. i only know about the catfish but i will give you what i know bout the ol kitty kitty fish. what i have found and use canstantly when fishing for the catfish is regular chicken livers. get you a tub of them and keep them cold. when you go out fishing take along a small cooler filled with ice and keep that tub in the ice. keeping them cold makes them stay stiff and allows them to stay on your hook better. it is best to use a trebble hook when fishing with livers. take out a liver and with a sharp knife quater the livers. most of the time livers are really big and you dont need all of it. put a piece of the liver on one of the hooks on the trebble hook and wrap the liver around the hook and press down on the liver to get the other two hooks into the liver. the way that i like to rig this up is to get a one ounce to 3 ounce weight all depending on how much the water is moving. tie the weight on the bottom of your line and about a foot above the weight tie a loop into your line. now from that loop tie on another peice of line from that loop about a foot long and tie the trebble hook onto the line. what this does is allow the weight anchor your line down to the floor of the pond or river or what ever you are fishing and lets the bait stay above the floor and not sink down into the mud. and it lets it float around a bit. man i hope this helps you out a bit good luck good fishin be safe and remember to share the experience
My son and i are going to scottsdale AZ in november and we want to do a little fishing,?
I have being looking on the web for possible locations, the urban ponds look as good as any to catch a few.
Where is a good pond local to scottsdale/paradise valley and what methods would catch us the most fish.We have to buy some tackle when we are there so what would be best for the area, we have a vacation condo so can leave the tackle there when we leave.
I like to catch carp and catfish and maybe snare a bass or two.
What other species are good to catch and release.
Have you look on google for a place to go fishing and you will have good luck on it too. Good luck to you o.k.
what baits should i use for summer carp fishing?
im looking for a summer baitr to catch big carp can any of you tell me a good bait ?
you can catch carp on most baits in summer boilies, pop ups, meat, corn, tiger nuts, particle baits, dog mixer, floating crust etc etc etc. try to find a bait you feel confident in and you will reap the benifits. i use mainline freezer boilies: assasin8 ,active8 and the grange red, i also rate the whole of the dynamite baits range, try floating bread or mixers on sunny days when carp are cruising i also use marshmallows and malteasers on the top( just dont get the munchies and eat them lol) there is no holy grail of bait just good and bad ones! bait is not the winning factor in big carp fishing but locating them is, carp have regular feeding routes they will take so dont just turn up and plonk yourself in a swim that looks good on the surface, take time to look for fish, look in weed beds for channels, rolling fish cleaning their gills out use a marker rod with just a lead on to find gravel bars and silt beds full or bloodworm if u need any help on rigs and tackle jusk ask, hope this helps good luck and tight lines.
Would the new Johnson Century reel stand any chance with carp?
I was thinking about buying the Johnson Century reel(If they have it in stock at wal-mart or K-Mart. No other fishing retailer close to me. And don’t have a credit card for cabelas, basspro, etc.) I know my dad has one, which was bought in the 1970′s and it can haul in the fish. I think that spincaster could hold 35-40 lb. fish. I was wondering, do the new Johnson Century’s have enough power to reel in carp?Also, do they sale the model at Wal or K-mart? Here’s the link to the reel…
