Do any of you gentlemen fish?

 

[Liar]

Brown trout and mackerel at the summer house. Because it's there, and it's tasty.

Occasionally, I drown the odd maggot in the local canal for Perch, Bream, Tench, etc..

Bout damn time we had a fishin' thread, catfish, large mouth bass, and crappie.

Is water wet?

Crappie in the spring and fall, mostly catfish the rest of the year.

A little perch jerking with the grandkids when they get the bug.

You need to try redfish on a fly rod. Talk about putting a zing in a reel.

 

[Dragonlipz]

Indeed I do: Trout in the mountain rivers (Bumblebee Creek is my favorite); Salmon along the coastal waters and bigger fish north of Vancouver Island.....

I just cleaned and fileted a Redfish. They taste pretty good. But theyre bigger than I wanna fool with. I like small bass and panfish.

All our Salmon are off season this year. I'd like to catch the Shad season this spring, but it's hard to figure out when they are running.

On a fly rod they are really fun to catch, even if they are boney.

 

[TE999]

I catch Tilapia, Salmon, Flounder, Sea Bass and Tuna...the guy behind the counter tosses it to me after wrapping it.

 

[SeaCat]

I go after plenty of fish. Sometimes with a rod and reel and sometimes with a speargun.

One of my absolute favorite snacks is freshly caught Spanish Mackeral fileted on the boat as soon as it is pulled on board. Filet it, thin slice it and rinse with Sea Water. A little dab of roughly ground Horseradish, roll it up and pop it into your mouth. (The only time I will eat raw fish.)

As for what I'm fishing for, it depends on where I am.

New England?
Tautag
Stripers
Blues
Flounder

Down here?
Grouper
Snapper
Flatheads (A type of Catfish)
Flounder

Hi Cat...I speared a nice sized Grouper while diving for Lobster off Chub Quay (Key), in the Bahama's, but two Barricuda decided to challenge for the catch....my lady friend said she never saw someone jump straight up out of the water into a dingy before.

It's amazing how fast one can move when inspired isn't it?

The first time I ever saw a shark while diving was during my dive classes. I think I did a Jesus move, (Walking on water) even though I was wearing full cold water gear. My instructor almost drowned because he was laughing so hard. (It was a Spiny Dogfish.)

After diving for more than 15 years even Barracuda don't bother me over much. I treat them with respect just as I do the sharks. (It all depends on what kind of Barracuda I'm dealing with. Lessor are no problem while the Greater can be a problem at times.) Then again I understand that when I hit the water I'm no longer at the top of the food chain.

Now if you want something to get your heart pumping be visiting a wreck and have a Jewfish give you a visit. I had this happen on a wreck off Boynton Beach last year. I was poking around inside the wreck of a Coal Barge when a Jewfish roughly the size of a V.W. Bug came in to visit. (They are knicknamed thumpers because they slam their gills when they feel threatened. You can feel this thumping through the water.) It was truly impressive even though they are not aggresive.

After paying New York State 30 dollars for the right to fish on my ancestral land... Northern Pike and Muske when I'm serious, bass and trout when I'm joking around.

Adrenaline, it's a helluva drug.

 

[jomar]

A yearly golf and deep sea weekend with the guys.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I'm gonna invest in a cane pole; I dont think there's any better fishing...unless its using a cast net to catch Snook at night when the game wardens are home.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

Not as much as I used to, but retirement is coming...

Here, Pike and Bass mostly; summer surfcasting for whatever comes - Blues and Spanish Mackerel..

 

[Verdad]

My uncle was a fishing fanatic; as kids, cousins and I sometimes went with him on his boat.

My fishing career ended about the first time I actually caught something, though. A live fish that has to be taken in hand and taken off the hook—eeeeeeek! Entirely too much for a city girl.

Cleaning fish didn't come all that naturally either (not to mention octopuses & co.!) but I became adept at that because there's so much yummy fish-y stuff I love to cook.

 

[jomar]

Sometimes the hook spoils the point of tossing a line in the water.

 

[D_K_Moon]

I haven't fished since I left Kodiak, AK. I got spoiled there. I still go "fishing" in that I paddle around in my canoe. Instead of a rod and reel, I take a camera. I get almost as much enjoyment, and half the aggravation.

 

[soflabbwlvr]

Not as much as I used to. For years I fished for sea trout out of Flamingo in Everglades National Park. Dolphin, yellowtail, and blackfin tuna offshore. Caught a sailfish once. Sometimes I pull up under a bridge in the Keys and fish for mangrove snapper. Pompano, sheepshead, and even flounder in the intercoastal.
