So how many of you have a real passion for fishing? Or just enjoy to fish? I'm starting a company that will include clothing/accessories/rods/misc. that is specifically for those who fish. I'll be making a bunch of freebie shirts to give away, and was wondering how many of you might want one. If you don't fish, but know someone who does, I'll give you one for them.
Happy Holidays every1

Which is generally thought to be because it's kind of hard to do in the summer.
Sorry TO - couldn't resist:D

Most my pics are of wife and kids with fish, since most of them are afraid to use a digital camera :lol
I have gone ice fishing many many times...in Montana and growing up in Minnesota. My wife and I caught 16 2 lb.+ trout in 45 minutes once, fishing on one of the mountain lakes where our property resided in Montana, in 1992. I'd have to scan that photo (Don't have a scanner, will get one some day, then you're going to be flooded with old pictures! Some of me with hair! ;) )

Well sir...A sound fishermen eh???? My boat is docked in Bridgeport...Been doing the blue tourny for five years now. Too bad your not around this season, blue's and strippers hitting like crazy in the area. I just wish I had a bigger boat so I could make it out to the race without dying

I got a kayak a couple weeks ago. It's a Hobie Mirage Outback set up for fishing. Anyone have any tips on rigging a kayak? I put a sonar on it already.
-
yeah CAV, i lived on the north shore of long island for about 10 years, in the Northport area. was stationed there in the CG. spent many many a day and night fishing in the Sound for all manner of fish. like i said though, i am primarily a freshwater guy.
long island sound personal bests-
19lb 3oz Blue
28lb 12oz Stripper
13lb 10oz Blackfish
87 strippers (all schoolies) in 1 day
i have really fond memories of fishing in the Sound. some pretty sketchy ones too; like the time i paddled out off Eatons Neck point in a 10ft dingy to drift for Blues and got sunk in a freak squall =)
-
Speaking of stripers. Lake Pleasant is 25 miles north of Phoenix and the stripers have been crazy for the past few months.
People have caught over 50 an hour at times using frozen anchovies, mosty. There is no limit on them, because officials want to control them...........they made it into the lake from the Colorado river a few years ago.
Some have been over 25 pounds.

I enjoy fishing, can't ever seem to catch anything unless I'm on a boat then, and then it's only in freshwater lakes. Of the 15 or so hours I've spent deep sea fishing in the gulf I've only caught 3 red snapper that were too small.
That's my story, good luck on the new business.
-
I live for fishing. I fush for steelhead when it cools down around here. Then go ice fishing on the lake if/when it freezes over. In the summer our lake is quickly becoming one of the top lakes in the world for bass and walleye. When we cant get out on a boat we fish for carp in the streams and rivers because sometimes you get a good fight out of them and their big.
-
I hear carp are delicious smoked... I just can't seem to get them to stay lit though?
-
We dont eat any bottom feeders out of the lake. The NYS guide says only eat one fish a month out of the lake.
-
Yea, I know, its pretty freakin sad that your not supposed to eat fresh fish thanks to all the PCB's and Mercury and god knows what else. Most of what I eat comes out of the Mississippi, it's still damn delicious but I don't eat too much of it.
-
If it tastes good, eat it.

We eat steelheads in the fall. Thats it. Perch from lakes up in the mountains.

You could kill two birds with one stone.
Take trhe Li'l lady out on the ocean and get one of those tube type things that people ride on beind the boat.
Get one shaped like a seal and place a pack of chum and some hooks underneith. and do some great white fishing :D

That's a pretty cool boat. How do you like it? Do you like the drive system/ How much was it?
-
lol dred, thats almost at the conspiracy level.
Nah, she's ok, lets me go fishin 90% of the time i want to. :)

Thanks.
I have had it out three times now on lake Pleasant ( a big lake here) and really like it. The drive system is great. I'm still figuring out how best to stow everything, but it has plenty of room on board.
You could easily peddle that thing for hours with little effort and maintain about 2-3 mph ( checked w a gps last week). The fastest I have gone by just the drive system was about 6-7mph.
It's stable enough to stand up in and it's not to big that I can't load it on top of my lifted Jeep by myself.
So far I have added a compass, color Fish finder/sonar, and small nav lights.
The thing cost about $1700.00.
I'm taking it camping/fishing for 2 days this weekend. I might post some pics of it with all my gear on board if anyone is interested.

Theres a spot on the Ohio River in Louisville that I can consistently catch 20 to 40 pound catfish.
I fish, but catch and release. I'm also an advanced scuba diver through NAUI. Its a bigger rush for me to dive and observe fish than it is to catch them.
Now with my experience as a fisherman, ability as a diver, and knowledge as an up & coming Fish and Wildlife biologist, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I can *outfish* anyone here on this board.
Some guys are good at sports, others at picking up women. I'm just a natural fisherman.

If you were fishing near me and I noticed that you were out-fishing me, I would attack you.

That's amazing. I've been paddling for 20 years and can hold about 5 mph for any distance at my best. I'm far from my top form but still...
Very cool system; looks like fun.

You can't beat Rocky Mountain trout. Best fish is still walleye, haven't had any of that in years though...

Wahoo

fly fish an awful lot.
Caught a few good sized browns this summer.

from my back yard I catch large mouth bass, peacock bass (which was introduced from south america and not really a bass but a cyclid. they fight pretty well for a fresh water species though), snook, gar and bream. I prefer salt water fishing though. I like yellow tail, red, mutton or mangrove snapper the best. after that I like king makarel and dolphin. I like sword but usually release them. for fun I like fly fishing the flats for permit, bone and tarpon. my favorite is hogfish but you have to go into the water and spear those so it doesn't really count as fishing in the strictest sense.
we eat lots of fish around here. on the average twice per week. I've been eating freshly caught fish my whole life. when I lived in massachusetts we used to occassionally fish boston harbor for flounder while we were working. a simple hand line with a bell tied to it. if anyone heard the bell they hauled the sucker up and dumped it into an igloo, re-baited the hook and tossed it back in. by lunch time there was usually enough flounder for an almost free lunch for a few guys. we grilled them on a steel plate with an acetylene torch as the heat source. someone was always thoughtful enough to run to the deli for fixings and sodas while the fish were grilling up. Tip O'Neil the then speaker of the house stopped by the east boston ship yard where we were to collect his accolades for the big navy contract he landed and had a few bites with us once, he struck me as a real earthy guy. he earned my admiration and I could see why he was so well loved by the people in his district.
anyways I don't know when the health liability thing will kick in. those fish from boston harbor lived in some nasty water and they tasted mighty fine. we ate those at least once a week for the few years I was up there.
