    Does the splash your lure makes scare fish away?

    Obvious question. Of course it'll scare some minnows away. But, here's what i'm talking about. Gave up on baitcasters. Lost over 500 yards of line to backlash in the 4 months i tried to use them. But, the thing i noticed when I was baitcasting was I would get less splash when a big spinnerbait...

    is slmon a 'pan-fish'?

    Panfish is a fish named after the method most people cook it by. Using a pan. Because they're flat, oblong fish, they fit easily into a frying pan. also, they look like pans. No, salmon is not a pan fish. A pan fish would be a fish with a round body like bluegill, green sunfish, pumpkin seed, ect.

    Would it be worth the challenge to take martial arts?

    Not to stay in shape, I'm in decent shape. At least i Consider a mile in 7 minutes and 2 miles in 16:30 is at least decent. But i mean for self defense. If there really is a time when i walk down that bad alleyway, would it be worth taking martial arts to defend myself?

    Is it the classic cast and retrieve? Or are you supposed to let it sink down, pull it up and leat it float back down? Or am i just missing something?

    Do you guys fish barbed or barbless?

    Always barbless for me. Recently, i have strayed towards barbed for bass because they just get too smart. I've had big bass fight, then suddenly swim towards me and do a headshake. Bam, lost fish. You're an idiot. think about that.

    Would switching from 20 lb test to 20lb braid affect my fishing?

    Using 50 lb trilene test. I have no idea what mono or flouro is, so i can't honestly tell you what it is. Lately, i've been eying a pack of powerbro braid lately. It looks a lot thinner. I mostly fish for bass in pretty murky water. However, occasionally i go trout fishing with the same reel.

    Can you fish for halibut by tightlining?

    Boat is gone, so i was just planning to use a chunk of salmon belly on a nice big treble hook and a pyramid sinker and just drop it off the pier. Is that alright? the water is about 20 feet deep maybe.

    Is it rude or impolite to just bleed fish into the lake around other people?

    Now, the lake allows you to clean fish into the water, as confirmed by multiple signs around the fishing area. Think is, even with anglers i think of as Pretty damn good who fish for food, they never bleed their catch. Just let it die on the stringer. Is it rude or something?

    so when you bleed fish...?

    Do you actually flip open a gill cover and slice a gill arch in half (what i've been doing after I stun them) Or do you slit that piece of flesh underneath the fish where the two gill plates meet. Also, is it worth bleeding bass? or should i just chill them?

    Why is it illegal to use gamefish parts as bait. Also, is it legal to kill fish where...

    ...you caught them in CO? I don't get why. Lets say you catch a nice bass, and clean it out. then why can't you randomly decide to use the guts as catfish bait? Also, if i catch something fishing in Colorado, can i bleed it into the lake or do i have to be home to do that?
