This is the longest few days that I have gone without fishing! With the winter weather moving into my area it might be a little while before I get to go again. What do you guys do when you are not fishing? I am making some videos, editing some photos that I took a week ago, and trying to figure out where my next fishing adventure will be once the weather lets up.

George Margitish that is good info. Thanks for sharing! I’m sitting around today trying different knots.

Mark Jonas very true my friend!

Thanks guys! I noticed the difference when I tied the knots. I even tied the fluorocarbon lead to the braid! It worked out well and caught several bass with no issues!

Believe it or not, but this is my first set up on spinning reel and baitcaster using braided line. I have always used mono but decided to try braided after watching some of the Straight Up Fishing videos. I lost 3 nice fish in 2026 due to me failing to tie a knot properly. (I think πŸ€”) I want to be better in 2026 so I’m trying the braided. I also tried using a crank bait yesterday that did surprisingly well. It was a day of trying new things for me!

Thanks everyone for the information! It helps to have input from other’s who have experience in what I am going to be doing! I will use all of the info that I have gotten from each of you! Thanks again!

Me, my brother and several neighborhood friends use to ride our bikes to our local lake to fish for catfish, bass, bluegill and perch. We would fish all day, come home and clean the fish, and I was the cook! I fried so much fish when I was a kid that I could do it with my eyes closed. Those were some of the best times!
