I'm out on the water 3-4 times a week, although I often only have time to go to Wilson, or Timber Linn, because I work evenings, and sleep in during the morning. I'm working on getting my schedule back to being able to fish with the sunrise. I rarely get a full day off which would give me time...

I headed out today with the tips I've gotten on this forum to E.E. Wilson. I set up my line as described by several people, using a bobber with a worm dropped about 18 inches below. I got nibbles here and there but no dice. So I switched to Power Eggs, but didn't get anything with that. The guy...

I believe I have one or two similar to that style, I also keep an eye on the clearance bin at SW. Thank you guys for all the tips, it's much better than trying to figure it out myself!

No Title I mucked through the rain to EE Wilson today and stood in the downpour, losing worm after worm to little guys. I seem to have trouble setting my hook. But I eventually hooked one! Because he was so small and lip hooked I just released. I had many many bites but couldn't seem to land...

Thanks for all the tips! Payday today means I'll sneak a few more fishing items into my collection, and will probably hit E.E. Wilson for a minute tomorrow. I'll let y'all know how I turn out with a better tuned set-up. If you see the girl in blue cowboy boots falling in the mud give me a wave! :D

I don't own two rods, I fish on a tight budget unfortunately. But the general idea here seems to be to switch my weights to sliders, lose the powerbait, and lengthen my leader. I've heard trout will bite on garlicky marshmallows, any truth in that?

I live in Albany, so my go to spots are EE Wilson and Freeway lakes. I also hit Foster if I've got whole day. I'll grab some sliding sinkers next time I'm at Sportsmans. 3-4 feet seems like a huge leader that would be difficult to cast, I'm quite short so my cast sucks anyways. Maybe I'm...

No Title This is the set-up I'm using, but with split-shot sinkers instead of the bullet style.That's the only set-up I've ever learned, so maybe it's time for me to change it? As far as I can tell my hook floats fine, I get worried that any larger ball will stop the fish from trying to bite.

Hello everyone! I am new to this forum, but I have been fishing my whole life. As I kid I used to reel in fish after fish, and loved it! It seems that I have been down on my luck lately though. I haven't caught anything in over a year! I usually run Chartreuse Garlic Powerbait on a treble hook...
