Universal freshwater fishing line?

Freshwater-Fishing-line

Universal freshwater fishing line? I will be fishing in freshwater rivers, many small ponds, and lakes very clear, to muddy/mossy, from 1- 50 feet deep. I will be targeting a variety of fish from- pan fish, bass, carp, catfish, and probably Gar. I will be using everything from live crickets to large crank baits. I will at different times be using spinning, casting, and spin casting reels. I will be fishing on bottom, using bobbers, trolling, and casting at different times. I just want one line to do all these jobs and I don’t care if it is the ultimate choice for every application. I know how to choose the thickness/test.

Thanks

Large pond Bass fishing advice

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
Hey all new to the site and had a question for you pond/small lake owners or regular fishers. I live on a 2 – 3 acre lake that is shaped like a “P” in North Texas. Let me describe the pond. It is shallow and a little more then 3 feet around the edges and 6-15 in the deepest part of the lake. The water clarity is low with plenty of algae, so about 2 feet visibility at best. The bottom is dark, blackish leaves that coat all of the bottom. There is zero vegitation that I know of in the water. But there are loads of sunfish, some crappie, an shad, and lots of 5-10lbs catfish. I know there are largemouth bass in the water because I caught one on a small rubber shad. I have also been told be several neighbors that they have seen or caught some bigger 3-5lb bass in the past.

Now with this information, as the water warms, what lure should I be using? I have tried several different color jigs (red, blue/black, white, silver) without success. I have tried shallow running crank baits and some rattle trap lures without success.  Any advice would sure be appreciated.- Thanks Mike

Walleye Fishing or bust?

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010
Evening CupidFish anglers. I got the weekend off and i’ll be heading to lake in (upstate) New York fishing for walleye. So my question for some walleye fishing fanatics like me is- its not a very deep lake but its one of the best in the country for walleye. The best place to catch them is supposed to be near these two islands in the middle of the lake and its about-30 ft deep. I went there last week and there was tons of people fishing there and they were catching them like crazy, but didn’t have any luck and was jigging and had a worm at the end of the jig. Any tips on how to catch these walleye? What bait is best? Should i use deep diving crank baits or troll with a spinner or keep jigging? I need techniques and tips. Also, any one who has every fished Oneida lake in New York any tips or hot spots? Thanks!
