So I moved to the Florida panhandle 18 months ago, after not fishing for almost 30 years after high school. I’m almost completely setup for saltwater fishing. Would a light/fast rod, 2500 reel with 10 lb braid and a 20 lb leader work? I also plan on using my bait caster with 20 lb braid and 30lb leader. Thanks in advance!!

Cooked up one of my favorite meals after a successful day on the water. Fresh largemouth bass, seasoned, fried until golden, then stacked with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and a little mayo. Hard to beat a fresh catch-to-table sandwich. 🎣🍔

Could I put camphor in my tackle box to prevent rust?

I've never used it myself, but I have heard of it used in toolboxes to prevent rust.

I'm a little worried about the smell effecting my tackle.

Has anyone tried this?

Husband is firefighter , they just got a boat and she wants to get him basics for fresh only fishing, no clue if he will love it. Can I please get some suggestions on gear? it’s about 300 acres lake, very open, bass, sunfish from wha I have seen.

thank you for your time!

Ts supposed to be good and I can’t catch nothin

I’m new to fresh water fishing, I’ve spent 35+ years on the ocean and am turning over a new leaf this summer. We plan on fishing small lakes in the north eastern United States for sunnies, bass, etc. which mid level rod and reel combos does everyone prefer? My budget is under $200. Thanks !!

If you guys are looking for a spot to fish in the houston area do NOT fish Bates M Allen park in Kendleton, TX the ponds there are over pressured and neglected by the park. The ponds have not been stocked in over 16 years please do not fish this pond.
