Bluelighters and Fishing?

I quite frequently let my friends use my gear while I was there with them, but...

Oh and it is a sin to let dust settle on any fishing equipment!!

Word to that!!!!!! The way I see it, if you're at all able, yet go more than 2 days in a row without fishing... YOU'RE FUCKING DOING IT WRONG!!!!!

:D =D :p %)

Have you fished Calaveras?? Do you know the wall I'm talking about??


Yes RED-DOG, I do know the wall. People call it the crappie wall but I used to see guys using those baloon floats and let them drift way out that channel trying to catch reds. I caught a few nice reds at calaveras. I don't fish there anymore. I catch more fish at Medina. It seems like there is nothing but talapia in calaveras anymore. You see those guys out there with casting nets pulling them in by the hundreds. Then they sell them to local restaurants.
You lived on Corian Springs? man that is just a few blocks from me. I'm on stahl rd and o'conner in a new gated subdivision they built in 1998. It's called the Villas at Spring Creek.
 
I used to love to fresh water bass fish. Due to a spine injury, it hurts to ride in a boat so I only go 1 or 2 times per year and prefer to stay on the shore. Drinking beer and riding in the boat with friends, was a big part of the experience.

I live 3 miles from one of the largest lakes in North Carolina. Soon as the weather gets warm I will give it a go.

Yeah I remember when they put those Talopia in that lake to help clean it up, they are an African fish that eat all the shit and muck dirty lakes develop. I used to use the balloon trick too.
Only went to Medina a few times.
Brauning lake was great for night fishing. I was out one night on that lake and I was bottom fishing with the radio playing Pink Floyd. When all of a sudden my fish finder started sounding like a pinball machine!! The screen was almost completely black and the water around me started to boil! (about the size of a football field) My girlfriends kid was with me and he was like, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??? I jumped up and said STIPPERS!!!
So I grabbed my rod with the spoon on it and drew back and casted out. As soon as my lure hit the water it went dead calm.
Weirdest thing I have ever seen!! But there were a shit load of fish there!!
Oh well too bad I don't live down there anymore, would love to hook up and catch a few fish with a fellow true fisherman.
 
Here's a nice one I caught last winter, 6 and a half pounds. He was released unharmed.

I'm in the same boat as you are. ----uh oh! hahahaha pardon the pun!

I have a severe back injury also. I have to take it real easy in my little fishing boat. Its just a 17 footer but it has a V-hull so its not too bad. My other boat is a 19 foot run about and it has a DEEP v-hull. that makes all the difference in the world. But I don't use that one for fishing. It is our summer boat that my wife and I drive around in and swim/party/chill out in. Too bad you don't live around here, we could putt-putt around real slow and catch a few.


............papa
 
me n my boys always smoke a few joints n go fishin out at a creek near where we live. good times, good times.

Actual picture of me and my fish. I just covered the face to protect my secret identity.
 
Thats a nice sized small mouth Pennywise. I laughed my ass off when I saw that picture. It really came out good!

I just looked up Plaice on wiki,.....man thats a cool looking fish. How big do they get? It says they are really good eating fish. I guess the closest thing we have here would be halibut. Halibut can get up to a couple of hundred pounds. I bet its a real chore to land one of those.
 
spring is here is south texas, that means fishing,fishing,fishing. for me anyway.
here's a picture of some crappie I caught last weekend. Fillet and release!
 
I love fishing,
I have twin 16yr old boys that I first started fishing with when they were 3 yrs old.
During Aug. and early Sept. I fish out in Puget Sound, Out of Everett. Which is roughly 30 miles north of Seattle. We fish for King, Silvers, Humpys which are salmon.
Then we fish for the same salmon from Sept. to Nov. in the rivers up here. Which is awesome. When the salmon are in you can walk across the river on there backs, thats how many are in the rivers.
You can can Hundreds of them jumping at one time.
The most Humpys (salmon 4 to 7 lbs) I caught in one day was 135 of them in about 8 hours.And that is no lie.

Then in the winter months we fish for Steelhead, Which are sea run raindow trout. That average from 5lbs to 25lbs, The average ones we catch are from 7 to 15 lbs. My biggest on was 23 lbs. That bitch ran me up and down the river for 20 min. before I got him to shore
So that is why my handle is sportfisher. Because I've been hooked on fishing forever..
Anyway that my fishing story
HAPPY FISHING


 
fishing kicks ass! im in oz on tha east coast n i wil get out off tha beach or in the river wheneva i get tha chance.... never been a huge boat person, the rivers r ok, the open ocean fucks wit me as soon as land dissapears.

Walleyes have finally turned on out here. I got 9 between 15" and 21" last night;)

Good to hear from you egor,.......I was thinking that you must be pretty busy with your season now. I'm going out tomorro even though its supposed to be a little windy. I can take it as long as its less than 20 mph. I was out a couple of weeks back and the wind was blowing pretty good and my poor dog got sea sick. he came crawling up to me along the gunnel and barfed on my foot.

I hope to catch a few nice crappie. I'm saving them up for our summer fish fry we have every year. Its a big party. Lots of fun.

I wish we had walleye in south texas. they look like fun to fish for.
 
^ The wind was blowing straight out of the north at 25-40 mph, but it concentrated the stocker rainbow fingerlings that were just stocked a few weeks ago right onto the rocks on the south shore we fished! We were throwing 2 1-3" rainbow trout crystal minnows on 4lb p-line fluorocarbon (my new favorite walleye line;)) parallel to the bank and just ripping them. Fish the windblown shore, get your back to it from a boat or just cast into it from shore; the windblown areas will almost always hold more feeding fish...
 
When I lived in Arkansas, my family lived on a duck hunting reservation that my dad was the caretaker of. We had a huge reservoir that was a drain for the Bayou Meto in southern AR. We fished crappie mostly, but my love is fighting a huge large mouth. Anybody can put on a hook and sinker and set the line in the water and wait, but bass fishing is a skill and a challenge. Now I live in Maryland and really just crab a lot though i have a friend who's offered to take me out into the Bay (Chesapeake of course)

Bass fishing is fun and challenging but there is something to be said about crappie fishing too. It takes knowlege and skill also.
