GO FOR IT!! GeezSakes!:winky:

Going to :dogwalking: At least he loves me....

That would be kool. Maybe in the future we can get several together for a trip!

I was all set to go. Then threw my back out. Now i have to wait.

wolfy the best fishing IMO is in the rain or just after a big rain. I have been known to fish in my kayak in the rain but dont do this is its lightening! lol

anyone here really really good at fly fishing and doesnt live super far? I really want to learn this. Then I want to go upstate new york and fly fish. anyone fly fish up there?

I started fly fishing early last year, but wouldn't say I'm good at it. I want to learn more. I like fly fishing from my kayak too.

I'm not sure how flying fishing from a kayak would be since you need that full body action. In my kayak tho I can pretty much drop my line wherever I want it.

There was a resort not far from me that offers lessons but the whole course was really expensive. I think a nice group, a few coolers and tents then someone willing to teach us.

I would definitely be up for something like that! If we could get an idea of who is seriously interested and general locations of everyone, we could organize it and pick a centrally located spot.

Im interested but need to plan. I was actually thinking of going up around the finger lakes, upstate NY, which isnt close but I have been wanting to fish there a long time. I use to live in the Adirondacks, in a village by lake george. There were amazing streams and plenty of trout but no one to show me. Now I did catch a big ass lake trout as long as my forearm but thats not the same.

In the southern tier of NY there are tons of waterfalls, streams, camping, you name it. To be honest if it was so cold so long I,d move backl to NYS in a heartbeat,

Sachita.. if you ever want to come this way and fish, just let Me know. This area is well known for it's rainbow trout and our season opens April 1st. The whole area where I live is known for it's fishing.. and we have people that come from Canada, and gosh a whole lot of states around us. If you decide to venture this way.. I can send you some links.. and also host you.. and show you around if you would like.

I would be up for it too. If anyone wants to plan something up this way (upstate NY - Finger Lakes region)... .just let Me know. There is some awesome fishing as well as camping, etc up here.

I would really love that. My birthday is the first part of May. I would love to camp up that way and fish. Just send them to me in email and I'll plan. Need to make sure my critters are cared for. Maybe there are a few people up that way that want to get together for some fishing?

So you know how to fly fish? omg what an invitation!

But seriously, I so miss that area. It would be great to go up. As I was saying in chat, I went up last oct to finger lakes for the wine festivals but could only stay a few days. The water was just too damn cold. I love waltkins glen but I cant say NY has my favorite wines. The vineyards all along Seneca lake were amazing.

Yeah and we were talking about a camping area called Buttermilk Falls outside Ithaca... very very nice and Ithaca has amazing gorges, waterfalls and some nice pubs too! :)

have you ever heard of noodling? do people really do that shit? have you?

Until I moved to Oklahoma, I never heard of it. Mindy's son used to do it with a friend of his. Personally, I like my fingers, hands and arms and won't poke around where I can't see something.

Used to work with a Doctor that did it all the time! He caught some that weighed as much as 40 lbs.

I've seen pics of bigger ones....so big that they'd carry people down a ways from where they started.


Good thing the doc could fix himself up if need be.

I trust the Gorton's Fisherman! http://panthor.files.wordpress.com/2..._fisherman.jpg

That is all.

Oxymoron... A TRUE fishing tale. lol
 

Hi everyone, glad to see I'm not the only fishing freak on the site, although I prefer salt to fresh water fishing (the stuff ppl throw in the canals and lakes here in Miami will probably end up giving us mutated, bubble gum chewing, cross eyed fish! lol) Anyhoo, last time I went fishing, I hooked a small cubera snapper, and as I was reeling him in, ho-hum, I looked down to see how much more I had to reel. The fish was about four feet away, when out of the deep came a snook bigger around than my thigh with it's mouth open and thinking "cubera hordevours" to itself, when it chomped on the little cubera. Ho-hum became YEEEEHAAAAA as the line stripped from my reel (lucky for me I had twenty five pound test line on there!). I fought that sucker for about fifteeen minutes, finally landed him, and when I got home and gutted the snook, there was the little cubera, half torn up, the hook that had hooked HIM was imbedded in the SNOOKS gut. Almost a twofer. lol I gave the cubera to my cat and ate the snook myself.
We've been having a real good run of Spanish Mackarel, Red Snapper and Spotted Sea Trout for these past few months. I missed all of last month because of surgery, but hope to be out and catching my limit again soon. Good luck to all you happy anglers out there! :)

cool idea! thank you!

Blade I think this is a great idea for anyone unsure of their casting skills.

I like you have little patience when someone gets hung up in anything and I have to stop what I'm doing to help. The easiest thing to do is cut the line, reset and don't bother the others your fishing with. You can always go back later and tug away, if you lost a good lure.

Thats how my daddy taught me.

OMG I have had to cut so many nice lures from getting hung up and I'm very good at casting. Sometimes the wind grabs it, the drag is loose or you just miss your swing. OR you snap something under water.

Does anyone have Ollies close? I was there the other day and picked up some nice lures. They also had nice rods and reels for 20 bucks. A lot of nice stuff cheap and if it gets caught or breaks you're not out a bunch of money.

Good to see there are others that enjoy fishing. I have to say that I enjoy the outdoors, fresh air, beautiful scenery but it's the only time that my brain is not going 100 miles an hour. I'm just focused on that one moment... I live in NW Ark and fish rivers, lakes from a boat. Trout fishing in one river, small mouth in another.. Mostly bass/striper fishing in the lakes.
