Some questions on some fishing stuff. Again. Please help? So I've been asking a lot of questions about many of the same things, just gonna pile together a bunch. Please help me with as many as you can. 1. The Zebco Bite Alert spinning combo, I know the technology on the bite alert is cheap, but how does the pole and reel itself handle? 2. The Ugly Stik spinning combo, I know the rod is AMAZING! but i've heard the reel on the combo isn't very good, any truth behind this? 3. What techniques/ lures or bait are good for small and large mouth bass, carp, catfish, and lake trout? 4. Is Berkley triline big game 10-12lb line a good multi purpose fishing line for those fish? Combined with a good rod and reel combo that is. 5. Has anyone used a Browning Fishing Stalker spinning combo? They look ok but how does it handle? Please answer as many of these as you can, it'll be greatly appreciated THANKS
AK. I'm 15 yeah I'm on a low budget. Sorry i have school to go to i can't center my life around fishing. Was just asking for some help on rods and things because I'm new to fishing. Relax. And thanks to the rest who actually answered i appreciate it.
Um,, no I'm not new to it just don't have the best equipment and am on a low budget thanks though. I use Rapala Firetiger Dives-to crankbaits and Huskey jerks with Suffix 10lb line. Just a horrible pole and reel.
you're obviously just learning about fishing. just go ahead and get you a simple Zebco 404 and a white H&H spinnerbait. that's what i grew up learning how to use. and they rod and reel hold up fine for a beginner. don't dive in with special spinning reels and definately not baitcasters untill you've been fishing for a while. and a spinner bait is a simple bait to use. just cast it and reel it in. and H&H spinnerbaits are made with a smaller profile than other spinner baits, have rubber skirts, and just plain look more like the same size food source for pretty much every predator fish whether it's bass, bream, or crappie and they just plain catch fish. good to use and grow and learn more about fish habits and cover and they come with a double hook that hangs on to fish much better and moves with the fish so it is not going to up and throw the bait like they doe with regular spinner baits a lot.
The Flathead Catfish feed primarily on live fish and the best baits to use are live baits; shad, chub and others. However lures that imitate live fish will also be successful if used correctly. Occasionally cut or prepared baits will be productive. The Flathead is far more predatory than most other catfish and are primarily hunters. At night they will feed in the shallows and hunt in groups with a particular liking of bass, shad, crayfish and they also feed on other catfish. Due to their reputation as a game fish and their culinary qualities they have been introduced throughout the US and in many areas are now regarded as an invasive species destroying large populations of the local fish.
The different species of catfish have different tastes and preferences, but the big three Catfish of the USA use the same range of senses to track down their prey. All catfish rely heavily on their very keen sense of smell to locate food, particularly if the water is cloudy as in times of flood etc. But they are not totally reliant on scent (in fact the Flathead catfish does prefer to use sight where possible). They also use the sensory cells in their whiskers to search the mud for food. They will use their acute hearing to spot food, but mainly use this sense to detect danger.
Catfish are more active after nightfall in searching for food and will feed at all depths. They search the shallows for food something they never do during the day. In the day they remain in the deeper waters hiding in secluded dens and lairs in bank holes, undercut banks, fallen trees and large rock obstructions, but they will still feed if presented with an easy meal.
The Blue Catfish will eat a much wider variety of foods and are more reliant on their sense of smell for locating food. So you can use cut baits and stink baits to catch the big Blues who will be feeding at most times but normally on the bed of deeper waters though they will move up when they scent food. They take most fish and aquatic insects regardless of size, but are a very wary fish.
The Channel Catfish is the true omnivore and will eat almost anything it can get in its mouth. They eat insects, larvae, crayfish, molluscs, crustaceans, worms, fish dead or alive and even fruit and berries. They search the bed of the water for food the majority of the time but are far more active at night. Scavengers they eat carrion although it is not their food of choice. The Channel is the most common catfish and is the one that you normally find in the smaller ponds and creeks.
Probably the most challenging decision you need to make before catfishing is which of that bewildering array of catfishing baits should you use. Firstly discover what species of catfish is prevalent in the water you intend to fish, if you have a choice make sure you decide which fish you want to catch. Ensure that you are fully aware of the habits of your intended capture. Here I have tried to answer the questions so that you can make the right decision.
