Let me add if you men ever try to troll like were all doing down south here for crappie . Walmart has those Bandit plug's . Get the 300 series plug's . They say they run 10 to 15 feet deep . Then I use 10 pound test yellow line for my reel where I can see it . Then when you go to put them out check and make sure the new plug is running strate . If not bend the little ring that's made to the plug where the line goes one way or another . Keep doing that until it runs right .
Now once you have your boat up to speed ( around 1.8mph) let out 150 yard's of line ,put rod in fish holder and kick back . I was going to go but something came up . I got to go do .

Good stuff Flench.

What boat setup do you have?

Are you fishing at Pickwick?

A 45lb halibut is no big deal up there. Probably why he was apologizing. The ones we caught off Unimak were around that size and we caught several that day, but that was 33 years ago. :old:

The limit you were allowed to bring back in filets were one 50lb box/person.  You're also only allowed 1 halibut/day per the law.  We would catch our limit of them quick (maybe half an hour to an hour of fishing) and then go back to salmon, which are (IMO) much more fun to catch.  They make crazy runs, jumping all over the place and will dart up and hit the bait at the boat.  You almost figure eight for them like they're a pike.  Halibut fishing is pretty boring in contrast.  You jig the bottom over and over again, have something hit it, occasionally pulling down, and by the time you've got it up 60' or so it's basically like dragging up a lifeless rock.  I guess it could be different with a huge one, but I wasn't impressed with them compared with salmon, pound for pound.  I'm really looking forward to bigger salmon next August :aok

No , I use too fish Pickwick a lot when I lived in Memphis but I moved 60 mile's south to Enid Lake . The lake holds the world record Crappie and it take's me 5 minutes to get to the boat ramp now . The new world record well be coming out of this lake again just any day now . Their was a size limit put on them 10 year's ago and some nice 4 to 4 and a half ponders coming out of the lake now .

Oh forgot : I'm running a spider-line set up .

For those fishing this weekend, I hope your next poo errrrrrr, good luck. :D
Quick update, finally got the wife to agree to change her car up, as a result of that, I'm in line for a 16ft aluminium bass boat - a friend here is selling, comes with storage, 50hp outboard, 47 pound trolling motor on the front, fish finder, trailer etc etc etc - which is nice. Pics once I get my sticky fingers on it.


Wurz (very jealous of bailey right now, that place looks awesome, and I have my UK Beach fishing gear here getting covered in cobwebs :cry)

Surf fishing was really slow (almost non existant) but we gave it our best every day we were out.....and saw some of the best sunrises in recent memories...

Figured since i was down, i wanted to charter a boat and get the kids (Madison and Jay 13yrold twins) out on the water, and fluke fishing in that boat i posted earlier is overkill.....think F22 Raptor vs The Wright flyer  

We went out with Capt Brett Taylor of Reel Reaction Sportfishing, on his beautiful 23ft Parker (must have one!!! absolutely amazing boat). Ocean temps were great, and the bite was good as well. We ended the day with 4 keeper fluke (all in the 22 to 24" range) and 9 or 10 keeper Seabass (one was 19" caught by my wonderful daughter)Jay had the biggest fluke at 25" and 6lbs) All the keepers were in the 4 to 6lb range.

We also had a bunch of throwbacks, but they all seemed to be around 17" (17 1/2 is legal keeper in NJ waters  :bhead) but it got the kids lines tight, and there were smiles all around......Bait of choice were peanuts and squid for the kids....I bucktailed the entire time with a SeaRobin colored bucktail with a makeral strip, or squid.... We had a great time, and the kids had an absolute blast on the boat!! Was nice to see the kids retain what myself and my buddie Capt Carl taught them when we go out with him, that its always a good idea to keep the bait moving.... Jay looked at the captain and said "whats easier to find, a diamond ring just sitting on the ground....or the ring someone is waving in your face... The capt just smiled and remarked that it was nice having kids out that really new what they were doing.

We had a little pool on the boat going, which was the person that caught the biggest fish could pick a chore for the other 2 to complete for the top hooker.......Needless to say with Jay catching the biggest Fluke, and Madi catching the biggest seabass......My day today will be spent cleaning Jays room....and washing Madisons Bike......fricken little turds   :lol
 
Yours truly trying to lay the fish out flat so the Capt could get a shot of the bucktail in the fishes mouth...he wanted it for the guy that makes them for him, to let him know they work


Jays 6 lbr


The crew


Not a bad days work


As for the Tuna fishing, sadly the boat blew a water pump, and limping out 50miles offshore on one engine is not a great idea.....Headed out this coming weekend tho for a 48hr slam fest...the Bluefins are biting hard
