Used to use them a lot years ago. Haven't used them recently since I found lures I like better. However, they're a great little lure that just about anything will hit.

Check out "raWr Fishing" on YouTube. He's super into BFS and has a lot of good videos on rods and reels. He's also a member here so hopefully he'll chime in.

Not 100% sure, but looks like a Alosa mediocris to me.

Not sure how many people here microfish, but it's something I enjoy and something I've been wanting to do more of recently. I went to a local canal and fished a Trout Magnet for a few hours and kept...

Make sure you do the same thing with flathead catfish and green sunfish. Both are also illegal to release in NJ.

Thanks for the advice so far. I just looked at the river is running 3x more water than normal for this time of year. With the hurricane that might roll through this weekend I'm sure it'll only go up....

A bunch of people have actually told me this over the last couple years. Quite frankly I'm a bit intimidated by it. The set ups and rigging seems way more complex.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting theory on the lure size relating to why the fish bite it, makes sense. Also, I ordered some Crappie Magnets last week and I'm waiting for them to come in. I'm...

The beetle spin used to be my go to lure for panfish. Then around May or June of this year I discovered the Trout Magnet and that thing has taken over. Over the last half year I'd say that if I'm...

Honestly, I've never found any difference between these colors when it comes to action. I usually go with natural colors like the black and dark green or golden color in clearer water and then the...

The Trout Magnet is great. You won't be disappointed. I've got a lot of videos on using them. Here's one of the better ones. Also those jig heads you posted will be good too, but only in the smaller...

Thank you. That's what I hear and see from pictures. Now I just hope the fish cooperate those days.

Greetings all. I will be going up to the Suwannee River in Live Oak for the first time in late December with a few friends. All of us fish regularly, but none of us have ever fished the Suwannee or...

Nice redbreast!

Went to this lesser known lake near my house that I've only been to once before. It has very thick grasses all around the shoreline which makes fishing impossible. Thankfully it also have these two...

Went out with the trusty Trout Magnet for a couple of hours on a local lake. Ended up with some decent bluegills, a handful of young of the year largemouth bass, and one beautiful redear sunfish....

Never fished 'em, but would love to try them.

On these hot summer days where making hundreds of casts can be draining, I like to just make a handful of casts and dunk some live shiners. You never know what you'll get in these South Florida...

Make less casts all over the river and make more casts in better locations. Look for slower moving water off to the sides of the main current. Look for eddys and areas that are protected by big rocks.

That's a fatty. Nice!

Redbreast sunfish

Yes. If you're going to get rid of the stickies because they got too big, the only logical option is to create a place where this won't happen again. A subforum will allow for individual threads...

It has an elongated but oval opercular flap, thin blue lines below the eye, elongated body, and a yellow/orange/red breast. All of those are characteristics of a redbreast sunfish. This fish has zero...

Very pale and oddly colored redbreast sunfish.

To answer your question in the title, use worms. If you drop worms in the water and don't get any bites, there are no fish there. For your second question I would look for deeper water and use larger...

Nice. Is that little bat in the last picture used to kill the fish?

"Good" is a relative term. You'll be able to catch them in those canals in the early fall, but you won't do nearly as well as you would during the winter and early spring.

The Sahara and Nasci are the exact same reel in almost every aspect. The literal only difference is that the Nasci has water seals which is designed for use in saltwater. Outside of the seals there...

Went out to an urban pond I used to fish a lot in college. Back then it was over run with tons of tiny bullheads. Now it seems like there are more bluegills in there, but it seems like there are...

Thanks for the link. Those Presso rods look real nice, but at around $250 for the cheaper one and $500 for the more expensive one, I'll wait to see some reviews first. Too bad about no reel in the...
