Fishing Thread !!!
« on: August 26, 2009, 12:26:16 AM »
 I've been doing a lot of fishing this year ( thankfully ). Anyone else getting out there and wetting a line? I'm lucky in that I'm less than an hour from four or five nice lakes plus there is a ton of local streams and ponds that hold fish.

 I need to get my fly rod out more though. I just never seem to think about grabbing it as I'm heading out. ???

I love to go fishing. I have been fishing since I was 3 and I love every minute of it. We have a 22 ft Mako center console fishing boat that we go out on at least twice a week. The target fish is striped bass. I also go freshwater fishing a lot too. Hell, I caught a MONSTER largemouth today on surface plugs!

I fly fished for years, brown trout. Rivers mostly and I loved it. Since moving to Norfolk where there is no fly fishing worth talking about, I've done a fair bit of pike fishing. Hope to be doing some this winter. It's all about relaxing and getting away from the phone  :)

Fishing is a blast! Half of the city i live in is water, with most parts of the city being almost completely surrounded by lakes with plenty of common shore to fish from, so i get to go at a moments notice, even when my dad is using the boat for a tourney.  And then when winter comes and there is 2 to 4 feet of ice on the lake...there's not many things better than pulling slab sunnies and crappies and large Northerns up through a hole in the ice. Bow-fishing for huge Carp when its hot out, or casting huge foot-long cranks, bucktail spinners, and Zara Spooks for Muskies.  Or watching your topwater get completely dominated, knocked around and finally devoured.  Even the thrill of hooking a fish that feels like the biggest fish of the day, a monster, but then when you get it in it's just the 1st smallmouth of the day and isn't even over 3 pounds (they are truly mean!). Or just throwing leach on a slip bobber and catching a few keeper walleyes. Getting up at the crack of dawn and breaking the water which looks exactly like glass, or reeling in a catfish at midnight.  Carrying an 80 pound canoe, and a months worth of gear on your back for a mile or more (usually several separate times) on a trial no more than a foot wide, preceding to your spot only to see a moose, deer, bear, or some other sweet wildlife bathing with in a cast from you, or watching the sunset behind sky scrapers in a major metropolitan  area as you are just slaying the fish (or not slaying, cuz in the end it really doesn't matter... you where there, in-line and on time) Yep, anyway you slice it, fishing is great. (Yes i enjoy fishing)

Looks like a great fishing trip.  I love fishing but haven't gone much since we had kids.  They are now at an age where I think I will start again in spring.

I'm pathetic. I live in the Ozarks. A hunters and fishermans dream and I haven't hunted or fished in years. Unless you count beer hunting. But even then I've slowed down tremendously.
