Nice catch...........................

Nice job pornbroker!

Count me in the I Love Fishing Club! Don't get out as often as I used to, but fishing is great! Nothing more relaxing ... well nothing at least that you can do by yourself or with the guys heheh. I fish for Lake Trout, Bass, Pike, Pickerel primarily.

Did some fishing in Fla last time I was there, cleaned up on some snapper.

1. Samson Fish - excellent fighting fish (hence the name), not so good on the plate.

2. Australian Jewfish - one of the best eating fish available here.

Yea Beavis, I'm into it big time. Caught over 40 kingfish last weekend in a tournament. Just did'nt get the smoker. A captain I know won the tourny with a 38lb. king. It was a big money tourny. He won a Contender, Yamaha OB, with a loadmaster trailer plus $20,000. He also put in for the calcutta and won another $45,000. He was a happy man when his fish held out for the win. I'll be in another this weekend but it does'nt pay as much. The tarpon have shown up so after King season I'll be catching my fair share near the Skyway which is almost as good as Boca Grande.

Count me in, I take the boat out every weekend in Central Florida and go after those reds and spotted trouts, mackerals, sheepshead, mangrove snapper, flounder, drum...

I got into shrimping this year too at night, and its awesome.

Yo Tazbo,

Thats awesome............I like drifting for kingfish over here on the east coast of Fla. and I love Tarpon fishing....


I usually go to the Keys for the Tarpon...


Never went to west coast of Fla..yet...............

Last time I went to the little concrete tackle shop at the pier in Pacifica and looked at the faded polaroids taped to the window, there was still one of me from 1994 holding a 41lb striped bass I hauled in off the end, the largest ever taken there.

Almost got it stolen from me at the last minute. The pier is tall, 20ft or 30ft above the water, so once you've brought the fish to the surface you have to get a guy to position a crab net just underwater so you can guide the fish over net and get it hauled up. There were hundreds of people on the pier that day watching me... no one else had a fish on.. and just as I managed to get that 40lb bass in positioned over the net, I'll be damned if a sea lion burst out of the water, slap the shit out of my fish, and try to eat it off of my hook. It slapped the fish away from the 'net and stunned for me. This time the sea lion stayed on the surface as it turned to make its second attempt at eating the fish, so I've got one eye on it, and the other on 40lbs of wriggling bass I'm trying to get into a small net 30 feet below.

I ended up filleting the fish on the pier and splitting it with the dude who handled the crab net, because he yanked it out of the water probably 1/10th of a second before the seal lion would have grabbed my fish.

SO you like the fighting fish and not the eating fish. Rocki loves to go for the dolphins, she would fish with ya :-)

You got some monster down riggers huh?

Yea Lee, I wanted to do some shrimping this year but I never had the chance. It is fun as hell. I go to a bridge in melbourne during the full moon in March. They just flow through and scoop them up with your net. Boy you can pull in some monster shrimp there.

Yea Beavis, we drift for them or slow troll live baits. Last year during the big tourny we lost a 50lb king to a cuda at the boat. We would have won easy. Nobody said a fuckin word all the way to the weigh-in we were so sick.

I love fisting... I mean fishing.

I live in a fairly rural area surrounded by a lot of lakes and rivers. Im not a real good fisherman.... but its so enjoyable to kick back in nature, have a few beers and do some fishing.

The big fatty king salmon are on their spring run here, and I am going out on Wed. to catch the big one baby, it has been waiting for me....would love to catch a tarpon thow.. will they still be catchable in Aug before or after the internext?

Fishing was on the news yesterday because they have apparently discovered that fish do actually feel pain so it could lead to all the animal rights people tryig to get fishing banned as a sport...

:helpme

melbournes beautiful... haven't been there in over 10 years. last time i was there i got to witness hundreds, if not thousands of baby sea turtles leave their nest and head out to sea. one of the coolest experiences i've ever had.

heh, I was the same when I caught that bass. I don't think I'd actually caught anything significant in 2-3 weeks of all day fishing leading up to that day.

There was a regular group of guys who'd meet down at the end of the Pier in late summer. They'd bring their Hibachi's, coolers full of beer, steaks, deck chairs, gas heaters, all kinds of shit.. just hanging out and getting drunk and enjoying the ocean.

Funny how groups like that develop their own little culture. After I caught that bass I was treated like fucking royalty for weeks on end. When I walked down the pier people would point me out to their non-regular friends, I'd hear "Thats the guy who got the bass!" behind my back, I didn't have to pay for beer anymore, people would offer me their chairs, pester me for fishing advice, all kinds of stuff.

Funny shit :)

SO you like the fighting fish and not the eating fish.;

Yeah, I love the fight!!!!

Tarpon is my favorite sport fish, they pull the boat around for
a half hour & jump like 10 feet into the air..............


But I also love snook & they are great to eat.....

Do fish smoke weed? it will help their pain from the hooks, if you want to appease the animal groups, just be sure to get the fish stoned before you cut it's head off to clean it!! see that is not to hard.

Snook nuggets, yum yum. the season just ended today, shit!

MMMmmmm....Sturgeon, now that is a fish

Those sturgeon are huge...............


Mostly up North like Wisconsin an states like that, I think........

I've been fishing trout since I was a kid....always go up to Colorado, great times

Done alot of shrimping there when I was kid with family in Merritt Island.

Fishing - Can't wait to take my 3 year old out and let him reel in a few.

Florida is Paradise :)

I fish/Shrimp on East Coast. Got to tow the little boat about 40 miles to the launch.

The shrimp in the bait stores are getting real small, can't wait until the finger mullet run again, or the plywogs grow up to be some nice minnows. Our bait stores buy their shrimp from the Gulf, go figure, yet most people shrimp on the East.

Want to catch a few more pompano before the waters get to warm, last week water temp was 78.2. Only caught a 21 inch Spanish Mackeral.

Yes, taking a kid fishing is a great way to spend the day. The kids have fun when they catch anything, even the junk fish. Get them into it when they are young and there is a good chance they will fish and have fun the rest of there lives.

Nice Mako!!

Did it jump???? I heard that they sometimes jump, what a site
that must be.....

I catch them year round here in Oregon...no bones only good white meat knda like a halibut texture..... man now I have to go to lunch...... could be the bowl I just smoked thow too....

Yea Rome's I know we need to get out there. We need to get the big man to take us in his 50 ft. Viking. The sharks are in big time right now and they will be here until late October. You know I dont go shark fishing in my little 16ft. Carolina skiff. Hell we could catch a shark thats as big as the boat and I dont want to do that at night. Hell the 8 ft. hammerhead i caught a couple of weeks ago could have fucked the boat up. I could hook us up on a shark charter with my buddy capt. trav. Round the boys up and I'll set it up whenever you want to go. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yea Lee the shrimp are small here now too. At least the whitebait, greenbacks, and pilchards are here so we can catch our own bait now. Nothing like squeezing a few whitebaits and throwing them along the mangroves to chum up thye monster snook out of the groves. You should see the water boil when you chum up the reds and snook in the mangroves. Once you get them poping the chum you just throw you bait in the middle and hold on.

No doubt TazBo you are on them with that chum mix.

Have not seen the pilchards yet, the little mangroves love them but they are one hit bait banging bait fish.

Where do you hook your pilchard? They rip off like tissue paper.

I hook them through the nostrils. You have to cast them gently.
I usually freeline with them but if I feel like I'm spooking the fish I stay a little further out and use a popping cork to add some weight for a longer cast. I cant think of the name of the new cork I use but it is awesome.

That would be a great weekend. Inshore, offshore, and the partying at night. Does'nt get much better than that.

Where ya get the new cork you like? What do you like abot it?

I have never caught a snook yet, had them on the line but never boated...

What kind of tackle you use? Rods, reels, line, hooks?

Where abouts in Colorado do you go? My family owns property in Fairplay... I love going to Eleven Mile or Terryall Res. Have not been in a while... time to go again.

I live in Denver :)

Any tackle store on the coast should have them. It's is a regular cork bobber but it slides on a piece of metal leader so when you go to hook the fish you pull the line straight to the fish instead of against the bobber then the fish. I have lost so many fish when trying to hook them pulling against the poppin cork. I wish I could remember the name. I'll find out tonight and post it tomorrow. It really makes a difference. I mainly use Penn spinning reels with star rods or Ugly sticks. How close is Sabastian Inlet from you. That place is loaded with Snook. When the bite is on there you can catch one after the other. I know they are there right now.
