My big catch today...

[will76]

Any people here like to fish?

Decided to take the day off and relax a little, take a fishing trip. Did pretty good today.





It was 3 of us, we caught 55 Speckled Trout and 1 Red Fish. The trout averaged about 2-3 pounds each, the Red Fish was about 8 pounds. Will be eating fish a little bit later, nothing like fresh fried fish for dinner

If you fish and have pictures of what you catch, post'em!

I played with my Trouser Trout today!!

I love to fish. I'm heading to Tennessee next month to fish with my dad for the month while my son is on summer break. I can't wait. It's sooo relaxing. I will take some pics for sure.

Here are a few pics from my last trip to the lake in Tennessee.

I'm supposed to go deep sea fishing next weekend here off the island as well. I'm hoping to get some fish!

I don't see any oil on those fish, looks like Fletch must have got it all.

it seems that you are bored. No fish yet perhaps?

[Coup]

Did you check them for oil?

[Konda]

You guys know you can just buy the fish at the market right? Saves a lot of time !!

Haha, you're definitely not into fishing...

[lazycash]

Do I need to send these guys out to teach you how to catch some Gar?

Yeah, thank goodness for Fletch, because no one else was able to hang in there for the oil clean up last year, so if not for him there would have been oil everywhere.

No thanks, I don't want to take BadDog and his brother fishing.

It was a short trip, I was back home by 2. Catching fish is fun, but being out on the water and the boat ride is relaxing and fun as well. As far as buying them, it would have cost me 5x more to buy them then what it cost me to catch them, so that's cool too... more fish for me.

I didn't know Baddog fished.

This is the first pike I ever caught and my first fish of the season.



On sunday I went for Carp and caught 3 or 4. Most were between 22-34". No pics. It was raining.

I took my goldfish for a walk last weekend. We had fun...

Boats are moneypits as well so i can't see it being cheaper.

The scent of white trash is strong in this thread.

I guess I've been lucky. A couple hundred a year in general maintenance, no major problems or repairs since I bought the boat almost 10 years ago. You pay to launch it (or in my case a boat slip to keep it) and fuel to run it. When we take it out who ever goes chips in for some of the cost for fuel, bait or buys lunch. That's it really. No money pit here. I've seen people drop a lot more on their bikes or other hobbies.

cool picture, where did you catch it ?

[B.Barnato]

nice pics in here, as someone who has never ever fished before, does it make a difference to the experience and serenity if it is from a boat or land?

also do you smash the fish on the head or let it die in the air?

I think I might be too pusy to do that

[2intense]

very nice

I personally think the boat ride, serenity, being out in nature in most cases with no one else around, piece and quite is 1/2 of the experience, the other half is the competition and fun going into catching fish, then there is always eating them too. Fish are put into an ice chest where they die on their own. No clubbin them over the head like a seal LOL.

Here are some scenic pictures I dug up from previous fishing trips:

Day break over the marsh, with a shrimping boat in the background picking up his net:


Out in the gulf with a line of thunderstorms blowing through, that produced a small water spout very close to an oil rig:


One of the bigger fish I have caught, about a 20 pound Red Fish:

Here's a couple from a Nicaragua trip a couple of years ago (in San Juan Del Sur)...

I used to be a commercial fisherman, before the recession...

Looks like a nice day will! Enjoy!

[pornguy]

Went fishing here with a friend and got a 35lb sail fish.

[wig]

70lbs grouper I shot spearfishing a week or so ago.



Smaller Grouper caught using a down rigger.



45lbs Snapper caught on a down rigger.

I love to fish / spearfish. I used to fly fish for Red Fish a lot in Texas. Those are some nice ones posted!

[alias]

Sweet wig.

[alias]

Are you spearfishing from a boat or while diving?

The 3 F's. If it flies, floats or fucks, your better of renting it!

We usually sell our catch to the local restaurants. Last week we shot 500lbs of grouper, 200lbs of snapper and 100lbs of snook. Sale price whole is about $0.80 to $1.50 a pound depending on the type of fish.

It almost always pays for all our gas, ice, food and drinks, and usually we'll take a 100lbs to my friends restaurant where we trade that for a a kick ass dinner and a few bottles of wine!

[WebairGerard]

Time to do some fishing here too! Nice catch!

We free dive from a boat. Normally, there is a current so we locate our spot, drop a buoy to mark it, we take the boat up current and jump in.

We basically ease towards the buoy and then make our descent as the current brings us to the spot (structure of some sort; wreck, rock croppings, etc). One guy stays on the boat and we take turns.

Sounds awesome. Easy to move around with just fins, snorkel and weights if you want.

It's a lot of fun. I try to move around with effort as little as possible so I burn as little Oxygen as possible.

Two gentle kicks gets me to 15 ft where I am buoyant and have equalized, and then two more send me into a free fall. I just plane out depending on the location or my limitations and wait.

Fish are kind of curious and will check you out by swimming at you and then turning (bam).

Or if there is a current, they are always swimming into the current so you'll meet them head on and when they see you they turn (bam again).

[TondaB]

Jealous! I love fishing and haven't been in many years.

[will76]

cool pics, lets get some more

[dyna mo]

who gets to eat the red fish?

[wig]

Will, do you ever eat the cheek out of the red fish?

[maccsta]

I love fishing nearly as much as drinking and fucking!

[wig]

How about the size of this snook?!?!!

[Bladewire]

I love fishing

[will76]

No, just fillet it, usually will blacken it. Sometimes leave the meat on the skin and put it on the pit like that. The trout I always fry and i just use the fillets.
