    Any Anglers/Fishermen on GFY ?

    I have been doing alot of saltwater fishing lately.
    I fish for everything and caught just about everything. Its something I can do even when i get old

    Anyone here from Tampa who likes fishing?

    Hey Roger,

    I LOVE saltwater fishing. As a matter of fact, I'm in the process of setting up sportsfisherman.com

    I'm taking a template designed for golf and editing it with fishing images. I get a lot of offers for the domain so I figured it was about time to put something up in my off time.

            Never been salt water fishing. Just moved here from Michigan though and have been fishing since I was a little kid.

                I just fish freshwater. Suppose it is a location issue. Lakes and rivers. I have done salt water but not enough to claim it as something I do. I really do like bass, salmon, trout, perch, catfish and such though.

                  Yeah, they've asked a time or two if I'd sell it. I'd rather hang on to it because of the potential and number of sports fishing magazines out there.

                  I put up a Joomla default installation and never did anything so it only had the default Joomla stuff - no mention of fishing at all and people were still signing up as members waiting for me to set the site up.

                        Nice California sheepshead there. I grew up fishing off the Central California coast in the beds, and out to about 400ft.


                        Since I moved to Texas, I've been having a blast catching Black & Red Drum, Speckled Trout, Blacktip Shark, Stingrays, etc.

                        I'm resolute in my plan to get out on a bluewater trip this summer, and fight some tuna/marlin though!

                        Here's a pic of my 50lb. black drum from last years black drum run.

                        50lbs. 47", on 30lb. mono, 9ft. uglystick,

                          Nice catch

                          Where is that? I grew up in Texas and have spent many many days fishing on the texas coast, mainly around Galveston and Corpus Christi.

                          I took the sheephead pic in the kelp beds off of Catalina Island last weekend. Its my favorite place to dive.

                                I caught that one at the Texas City Dike. I used to fish a lot of piers in the Galveston area, before Ike annihilated them. This spring I'll be working the jetties to try and do good.

                                Catalina is one gorgeous island too. I've fished around many of them, and walked around Anacapa. There's a really cool blowhole there.

                                                  Get after it...

                                                  After you get scuba certified, you can go for lobster

I built a network around fishing and hunting starting a decade ago that built up to 80k members and then sold it just 2 years ago. I also have a few domain (10 years old) that have skyrocketed in value to a high 6 figures, but I just can't let them go.

                                                            I would take that domain and and use the same concept as www.huntingreport.com. Fishing would be much bigger and trust me you'd make a small fortune.
                                                            Yeah, I think you're right. I've owned it since May of 1998 and know I've been less than forward thinking by not doing anything with it till now. The layout I have now on the site is perfect for what I'm wanting to do and there are tons of places in the template for advertisers and lengthy articles to push different fishing items/trips.

                                                            I'm over on iStockPhoto looking for images to transform the golf template to fishing now.

                                                                      Thats a dolphin I nabbed summer of 08 ... Mahi Mahi to you left coasters



                                                                      A pretty good day at the snapper hole in 08


                                                                      A mixed bag of red snapper, mangrove snapper and chicken dolphin


                                                                      Ashley may be petite but I'll lay money on her outfishing almost anyone on the board, she can throw a 12 foot cast net, gaff a fish that weighs as much as her and drive the boat home using only the compass...from 50 miles out


                                                                      a cooler FULL of red and mangrove snapper


                                                                      Tiffany is a pretty good angler too

If you're the adventures type I have spots on the Columbia river you can catch these " keepers" all days long on sand shrimp. Or hit the dam and catch monsters that are CR only.

                                                                            I just moved right near the Columbia, I've tubed donw and drank beer a few times in the summer. Guess I'm gonna have to get out fishing this summer!

                                                                                    Its not even remotely kin to a cat fish its a pelagic feeding primarily near the surface. The skin is more like that of a shArk but not nearly as rough. some people mistake them for sharks when they see them but a look at the tail fin quickly shows the difference.

                                                                                    Its the best eating fish I catch bar none we fish for them primarily ib the gulf from Indian pass west to destin

                                                                                            This Spring the Manta Rays will be migrating and the cobia will be right with them!

                                                                                            The Rays will be flying out of the water. So you can sight fish them fairly easy. Find the rays and you found cobia also.

                                                                                            A manta ray with a 20 foot wing span really sticks out above as well as below the water.

                                                                                            It's amazing to cruise along next to them and just watch them. Have a spinning rod handy with a jig, or even some squid or better yet a half of crab. That cobia will swim right out from under the ray and grab your bait, boom!, the fight is on.

                                                                                            Cobia love crabs, they will do anything for them. They also love structures in the open water as well as following these manta rays for food.

                                                                                            One month from now this will be going on right here. Only happens once a year like this.

                                                                                            I can take 3 people. But let me say first that the best day to do this is on days that have some good swells. It's easier to spot them when the ocean is not flat.

                                                                                            It's a fun ride but you have to hang on!

                                                                                            Here is a cobia cruising under a ray:
