I'm having a good year smallmouth bass fishing on the Susquehanna river in central Pennsylvania. I have discovered a hook specifically designed for drop shotting for small-mouth bass. I keep catching smallies in the 4-5 lb range with this rig.

I will share this rig with anyone that shares what is working for them.

Fishing is king, or should be, imo.

I'm really good at not catching smallmouth over here on the Lehigh/Delaware. I've since switched to lakes, and done a great job of catching underwhelming largemouth, and the occasional smallmouth. If you'd like my tips for small catches of trout and bass, and getting skunked by muskies, I'd be happy to share!

Fishing is fun, but by the time you buy a licence, bait, rods, reals, hooks, fishing line, lures, leaders, rent a boat, pay for gas and loose sleep (as one has to leave the house at 3am to be on the water when the sun comes up) , it's cheaper and easier to go to the fish market and buy fresh (and cleaned) fish for dinner.

Now if one has the time to grab a pole & tackle box and visit a nearby pond or lake for a few hours on a slow Saturday afternoon for a few hours of catch & release , then I say great.

I was practically raised with a fishing pole in my hand. I've caught just about every kind of fresh water fish there is, except a musky.
My biggest was a 34 inch 23 pound king salmon.
But bass (large and small mouth) are my favorites. Haven't caught a smally bigger then 3 and a half pounds yet, but mu bucket list is still waiting to fill that order.
I haven't fished in 3 years do to my back injury. It has taken the fun out of just about every thing. I'm hoping this surgery will bring back my ability/desire to resume fishing again.

I recommend you go fishing. I'm old, now. You need to listen to us old guys before we go geezer. We just barely know of which we speak before it's too late. 🤤

I have to say I've never understood catch and release.

Part of the reason for fishing is the coolness of cooking and eating your own catch.

Except for bullheads, of course. But then the rule should be catch-and-KILL.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
