You have a few neighbors in your state and on this site (owners included) that more than enjoy fishing......and me your neighbor to the west of your state. |
yesterday as i was cleaning out my sister's garage, I discovered my dad's old fishing pole and his tackle box. She said I could have it. I plan on doing some fishing this year...and to have him with me? Wow...
just a little story about dad and fishing. He and my mom and my big sister and brother who were babies then, were on the blanket while my dad fishes. He said he was going to the car to get some beer. My mom didnt want him to but he gave her the pole and said for her to fish. She didnt have a license and tried it from that angle. He said no one would be around and she would be ok. So he goes to the car for beer. When he comes back, there is the guy giving my mother a ticket...for fishing without a license... boy was my daddy in trouble for not just the beer!!! |
So here is my question...is there a way to fish without:
1 getting smelly? 2 touching the fish? 3 getting stuck with the hooky thingy? 4 a feller to help ya? |
Excellent... My cousin and I fish a lot together but I could seat 1-2 more people in the boat some time. Let me know. We fish the white river mostly for trout. We use lures called "little red river lures" and they work awesome. I just moved here last year, so I'm still getting to know the lakes.

Yes, you find someone kind enough to bait your hook, take the fish off and just let you relax. |

P, if you ever went fishing with me, I'd remove the fish for you. I'm used to doing that for those I've fished with that don't like to touch fish........ ........but they'll eat them. |

Ummmm I dont usually eat them LOL...I dont like fishy fish if that makes sense!! But thank you for the offer! |
yesterday I drove to Mount Rogers National Forest. There were trout fishermen in a few spots. I stopped and was chatting a guy up. While I stood there he nailed a few. He said he had caught 9 and 5 were shorts.
Now I have the bug! I'm going back camping and fishing. They were using rod and reels by the spillways. |
fishing is my preoccupation:thumbsup:

Fresh fish is rarely ever fishy. I'm spoiled when it comes to fish. I think there is a world of difference between fresh and even flash frozen. It all depends on the type of fish. Rainbow trout is white, clean tasting and really yummy if cooked right. Lake trout on the other hand tends to be larger and more fishy. Salt water fish it varies. Most people like sea bass and grouper, white flesh, deep water. You can also soak fillet fish in milk for a few hours to add fat and help remove fishy smell and taste. |
After I moved back to Ga. from Ohio I never got to fish. While in Ohio if the weather was warm I was on the lake before the sun was up good and stayed there until WELL after dark. I only went home to shower,sleep,and change clothes. When I got back to Ga the places that I grew up fishing were impossible for me to get to with my wheelchair. So for years my rods and reels sat and every once in a while I would take them own and dust them off just to feel them in my hands and bring back those memories of walking to my favoriet spot when I was youinger and then fishing off Jackson St. Peir in Ohio. Recent events brought some friends back into my life who are very supportive and while they recocnize my limitations they push me to do more and step outside the safty zones I have grown comfortable with. For the first time in about 6 years I went fishing at a spot they had found that had a dock a few other spots that were accessable to me. From the first sound of my baited hook hitting the water.... I felt like I was home. I hadn't felt so relaxed in years and have been several more times since fighting the urge to go daily. Next is the desire to be back out on a boat. I'm goin' to rent one before I take on the responcibility of buying one. Hopefully this will happen before the camping trip I'm goin' on in July. I wonder if they will have fishing there.....LOL. Yep I've definatly got the FEVER!
:awww: |

Wanted to share that a lot of the national and state parks - have public access that often includes docks, etc. Did a search online and found a link that might be of some help for you. Good luck! http://www.n-georgia.com/ada-access-atlanta.html :mountie::bucktooth: |

Who's been doing it?
Whatcha catching? |
Hiya Wolfy,
Well all of My gear is still in the car from the last outing with My niece. However, I have not been back yet. Sometimes Life intervenes. I am hoping to go soon.. perhaps with weekend. How about you? |
Haven't gone yet, but hope to soon ...
We have better luck crabbing than we do fishing. http://img1.visualizeus.com/thumbs/0...af93d549_h.jpg |
I haven't had a chance to go fishing yet. Thought I'd live vicariously through those that have. Just when I think I can go, it either rains (alright in Oklahoma it storms) or I'm 2 days mowing our football field of a yard or someone has me running errands. I think I need to get away for a weekend just so I can fish.

Fantastic post Ethan!! I'm glad you've got some friends to get you out there doing what you love to do!!!!!
Well, fishing thread pals, it's hot (high of 99 here for the next three days) (99 - in the shade!!!!!!) so this is the time I usually start doing night fishing mostly for catfish. My question is do y'all have a magic, special or favorite bait to catch catfish with? I've used chicken livers (wrapped in pantyhose), hotdogs, corn, stink bait, shrimp and nightcrawlers. Does anyone have a special trick they'd like to share? Thanks ~~~shark~~~~~~~~ |
