Lets talk about fishing
I'm opening this thread to anyone that likes fishing. Tell us about your favorite kind of fishing? Do you prefer lakes, rivers, streams, oceans or just good old fashioned ponds? What kind of rod and reel do you prefer to use? Would you rather fish from a boat or from the shore? These and other like questions can and should be posted here. I'm interested in learning about all kinds of fishing techniques. What works for you, what doesn't? Ok, I think ya'll get my drift.

Fishing...
I love it. I have a marlin and dolphin mounted and hanging on my wall that I caught off Ocean City, Maryland.
I would love to travel one day to Venezuala (sp?) for sailfish, or Hawaii for shark. The only problem I have is the rolling waves make me so sea sick. No matter what I take, I get sick - but I still go. I always tell Rosie that I want to buy and live off a fishing boat in the Caribbean. Then I could fish and snorkel for fresh seafood everyday. What a life. |
aaaaaawwww a thread right up my ally. I grew up fishing on the deep sea boats out in San Diego,on the pacific ocean.I at one time had a 16 foot Thunderbird cathedral hull open bow boat with bait tank and fish finder.I love ocean fishing more than lake or pond fishing. There is nothing like having a great fight on your line with 50-60 pound test when you hit up a tuna.I have a custom made rod with open face reel for ocean fishing. I also have a Shakespeare light weight spinning reel combo for lake and pond fishing. I have two tackle boxes, one for ocean fishing and one for fresh water fishing.I'm looking forward to fishing down in the gulf when i move down there. My Lady White Tigress actually took me to baytown and showed me around where i saw a couple of guys fishing with a net in knee deep water with all these fish they caught,and got me itching to go fishing LOL. I have fished here at the lake and caught and released in my pond on my property.I also like to feed them and ducks LOL. I watched a couple with their child catching blue crabs with a piece of chicken on a string and thought I would like to do that also. I have been land locked for so long i can't wait to get to the ocean.As far as bait goes, i mainly use shrimp when im lake fishing. On the ocean i use squid,shrimp,anchovies.Mainly in San Diego we used anchovies and squid.
Great thread...........Thanks TIMBER |
Timber,
You said it! A yellowfin tuna is awesome to reel in! It took me close to 3 hours to reel in a 45 pound tuna on a deep sea trip. It just kept diving. Up and down we fought. In the end, I won. It was good eating I was told. I don't eat fish, but I grill it and smoke it for others to eat. |

I don't mind fishing off a ocean pier either like Ocean Beach in SD or in Port Arandis (sp)on the gulf.My Lady being fair skinned redhead has to stay out of the sun so maybe this might be a guy thing? TIMBER |

I went out on a 3 day fishing trip out of Ensenada and loved it .Being a Mexican fishing boat our cook, Captain and crew loved to show us the fish, even cooking our catch if we wanted.Talk about authentic food.I really loved growing up in San Diego with being able to drive and not have to worry about what they do now a days in baja with troops and drug dealers and their wars going on there. Really shame. but back to the thread.sorry for the derail TIMBER |

I'm in Stillwater and I think meeting in Arkansas for fishing would be great. No boat towing except to a fishing hole. I mean, I travel to Austin when I want to and can hang with my friends there. Someone there always manages to have a place to stay for most of us that ask early enough. |
We might have to have our lady's that don't want to go fishing have a day without us.........southern Ca huh? Im originally from San Diego and go back every once in a while. thats how I met up with Oiler again for a Christmas party there, Now he's down here living in austin LOL

I cannot stand watching the fishing boats offshore netting. It really is just a sign of the times I guess. Every shoreman and fisherman are so very desperate for a catch that they are going farther and farther offshore to net in the Atlantic.
Some of the watermen that I have spoken to are so very supersticious. They think it is a sign of the end of time. That the fish are heading farther out to sea because of the continents falling into the sea. Their thinking - not mine. Have any of you guys watched the movie "Perfect Storm"? It was back on tv last week. |
I loved fishing for Croaker and Red Fish in Texas - but I won't eat anything from the ocean and not many lakes anymore. So I haven't been fishing in forever. I do love sport fishing - catch and release....

I'm in, where do I sign up and when do we start making plans? BTW, niceguy says there's a place to go floating out your way, which means there's a river. River fishing can be fun. Quote:

AC, I'm a northerner, can you tell me what Croaker and Red Fish are? Those names aren't familiar to me. |
Arkansas... The Natural State!

Hey Wolfy! We have almost 10,000 miles of rivers & streams, and over 600,000 acres of lakes! Many of them are in and around my (central AR) area, but it's also great that I can drive anywhere in the state is less than 3 hours! You'll find some of the best fishing, boating, and whitewater rafting here! :) We should definitely plan a BF fishing/canoeing weekend! I'm sure Jack and G would love it too! :D |

I say, lets do it, but can it be a BFP weekend? BTW, if this is what it takes to get you to post more, we all need to keep writing in here. |
fishin???
"PERK" |
Oh! I'm feeling right at home! But I'll tell y'all, this is the first year since I don't know when - decades I reckon that I haven't bought a fishing license! What a busy year. I'm ready to do some fishing!!!!!!!
~~~shark~~~~~~~~~ |
In April I moved here to Oregon..
I live on a lake the lake has rainbow trout and bass.. I was so lucky to be given a canoe ( thank you Sir! ) and gets some bass fishing done ... I don't like rainbow trout fishing as much as it requires sitting still ... lol I do however love to eat them! |

Hey again Wolfy, Sorry it's taken me a while to get back in here. It's hard to find time to get online between playing softball 3-4 nights, league bowling one night, and marathon training! I'm also in the middle of a major house re-model! :freak: After I get home, eat dinner, then do a few things around the house, it ends up being 3am and my brain isn't working so well! :tiredcomputer: A Planet weekend on the water sounds great! I don't fish anymore, but just being on the water makes me happy! :dance2: I'll leave the fishing to y'all while I go hit the rapids! :titantic: |

Dee, didn't you live on a lake before you moved? Lucky you, living on a lake. |

Fishing is still great for this weather in our neck of the woods, but rapids is way to cold for now. When the winter passes and the weather improves, we'll have to make a plan. I'm good for coming to Arkansas whenever. |
Great thread! I was raised in Alaska so I mostly fished for Salmon. However, in the spring it was usually for grayling, rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden. Then came King Salmon season which is truly a blast and really can wear you out when you catch those big boys. My biggest King was 75lbs and it took about 1.5 hours to land him.
As a kid we spent countless hours in wading in the river fishing and the cold water never seem to bother us a bit. We mostly used our own cured salmon row as bait or dare devil lures. My father taught me how to make our own sinkers and lots of other little fishing tricks. I now live in Minnesota. The land of 10,000 lakes and you would think I would fish more but I really dont. I think Ive fished maybe 5 times living here. I also think growing up salmon fishing can spoil you because there is nothing like the fight of a good size salmon on. What I think I really would enjoy though is Deep sea fishing. That is definitely something I have on my "to do" list. |
anyone here like to go noodling?

Fishing has always been a big part of my life. When I was growing up in St. Augustine, the only seafood we ate was whatever we caught. I especially love surf fishing..:shark:

I know people who have, but I, after reading about it, think it could be dangerous to poke around and put your hand where you can't see what may grab it. |

What is surf fishing? |

I lived one year in MN and probably fished with my friends there at least a dozen times. Northerns and Walleye are another massive fish and MN is full of them. |

I just have to say that every time I see this thread title, I think it says "Let's talk about fisTing" :|
Whew...thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Now back to your regularly scheduled (or unscheduled) programming... |
I like fishing. I don't like touching the worms though.
I don't have a problem with those little fishies - but worms? ew. Mare and I did quite a bit of fishing this past summer, but didn't catch a thing. We made a killing with crabbing though. I don't even eat fish with the exception of fish sticks and tuna, lol, but I find fishing itself very therapeutic. I just love being near the water. We are hoping to get a boat in the very near future and take our fishing trips to the next level. I'm just hoping to avoid this ---> :shark: cause that would be my kind of luck, lol. |
