I just started bass fishing last year. Have gone all out and have started entering tournaments. So far so good. Best off all I'm having fun.... My question.. I have 2 spin casting reel. I'm thinking of purchasing a baitcasting reel. I was wondering two things. 1. What are the advantages of such a reel? 2. Are the big dollar reels better and easier to use than a $100 reel? Thanks

Read Answer This weekend I was fishing in a sailfish tournament. I used two daisy chain teasers and hooks that some guy from a fishing store recomended me. I did caught any sailfish. Why? I think that the hooks were two small and we reeled in the ballyhoo I saw that they were half eaten. The fish missed by centimeters. Do you know any tactics or anything that will help me in the future?

Read Answer I went fishing today and caught a fish that was quite interesting. I really didn’t think too much of it until I told my wife and she stated my wheels turning. I’d like some help finding out what it was. Here is a description:

Sandy brown in color with black spots. Very small cartilage like teeth. Seemly no structure to body, firm skin but jelly like inside (seemed to have no bones). No dorsal fin. Very small caudal fin. Very small pelvic fins. Here is the kicker; it had 3 eyes in the shape of a triangle. The primary 2 eyes were way down by the snout and the 3rd was about 2 ½ inches above the first two forming a triangle. And yes, I saw the membranes moving across all 3 so I know it wasn’t my imagination.

I was on the fishing pier in St. Petersburg Florida fishing in salt water using nothing but cut up squid… The more I think of it I was pretty stupid for not going and buying a camera and snapping a couple of pictures.

Can anyone help???

I saw one of your articles on here, and in CO Magazine on Redfish.. Are they still biting in North Florida this time of year and if so, will artificials work well on them now? Thanks for your help.
