i was just curious. is there anyone else that is into fishing like i am. i live 5 minutes from the atchafalya basin, and 30 minutes( by boat ) from the gulf of mexico. so i can bass fish or fish saltwater anytime i want. is really one of the few things i can do with both my boys that they both enjoy. they are 8yrs diffrence in age.
-
I love to go fishing, but for any decent fishing around here you need to travel at least an hour sometimes more. It is a desert after all ya know. I really enjoy fly fishing, and so do a couple of the other guys here at work.
-
i did some fly fishing when i lived in colorado. but mostly just bass now.
-
Bass fishing is fun too
-
you need to come to the swamp and do some fishing. that is open to the rest of you too.
-
I used to love to fish when I was a kid.
Now the only fishing I do is for my olive at the bottom of my martini or the lime in my corona.
-
I caught this one olive that had to be at least a 20 pounder!
-
hahaha noner , if you ever get down this way we have to go have a drink. although i will probably be laughing to much to drink it. haha
-
It's funny, I used to live in one of the best fly fishing places in California, if not the US, but I've never done it. I used to fish with my Grandpa and a couple of my friends, but I never really go into it. Though, I'll spend weeks climbing around a mountain to find something to shoot.
-
sounds like we need to get some fishing hats with the logo. hahahahahaha
-
I live right in the foothills of the Rockies here in Colorado and have not been fishing since 1989 off Catalina Island.
Now that I have kids, it would be a great activity. What's the best way to break into it? I was thinking of getting the whole scoop from a local sporting goods place. Or I also thought of joining one of them beginner fishing trips where they supply the poles and instruction and all that. I realize it's not brain surgery, but I'd like to get a good "leg up" if you know what I mean.
Any advice?
-
finding a group would be a good idea. when i started fly fishing my best friend and i just bought rods and headed to the headwaters of the arkansas. and taught ourselves. i was working at walmart with an older gentleman who was an avid fly fisherman. he took me under his wing when he found out i had started to like it. but hey, just go get some rods and reel and take the young'uns. worst case is you don't catch much. but at least the kids will have a new hobby. and they spent the day with dad, which could give mom the day off from the rest of you. damn i sounded like dr. phil. scary.
-
Thanks, Paul. Come to think of it, I actually have a couple buddies that go fishing a lot....I could just say, "what should I buy and when will you take me?"
-
that is usually how i do it. lol
-
When I was younger, we used to go hand fishing. I never caught anything, but some friends caught some pretty big catfish. One caught a muskrat. He didn't hang on to it long though.
Mostly it was an excuse to drink beer (for me anyway).

noodlein' ? screw that you can lose extremities like that.

Always a good excuse to have a beer or 2... dozen....which reminds me of a funny Foxworthy joke:
"You know yer a redneck when yer too drunk to fish"
-
HA HA HA BEEN THERE!!!!!!!!
-
Me Too!!!
Last time I went fishing...1989...Catalina Island. It was a dropline tourney in little outboards. Started hittin' the hard stuff first thing in the morning. Don't remember coming back to the dock...or the awards ceremony at the local Pizza place....or where I got those nasty warts on my.....
Ok, I lied about the warts.....THANK GOD!!!
-
my best friend and i tend to do that every time we go without the kids. haven't done that in awhile though. need to cal him. it is time for a good nightfishing trip.
-

That's always a possibility!

Yeah, that's the only reason I went fishing with friends in HS.

It's got to be done....I was just watching the outdoor channel....showed a dad and his sons donning the waders and goin' fly fishing. :@`
-
think i am gonna try to take my yungest fishing when i get home. if it ever quits raining.
-
I grew up fishing the bar pits , lakes , oxbows and of course the big river in and around Natchez on the MS and LA side and the Gulf . Now I fish out here in CA mostly saltwater with a little delta and lake fishing from time to time.
I'm lucky to know a few guys with boats that I go out with fairly regularly..

You bet, as a teacher I live in the U.P. of Michigan during May-August, fish for walleye all day long and troll the bars all night long. Best walleye, salmon, and northern fishing around.
-
mmmmmmmmmmm.....salmon......the other......I won't say it......gotta keep it clean

We've taken vacation in the U.P. a couple of times. I love it there, mostly because so few people, as well as the beauty there. Didn't go fishing there but wanted to.
For years where I lived, there was no good fishing anywhere near so I quit. Moved here a couple of years ago and plenty of good lakes around as well as the rivers up near Lake Erie. I took up flyfishing a year ago. With everything frozen this winter, I have taken up flytying as well.

Know what you mean ChallengeMe about the beauty, shame you didn't get to fish. We're planning a pilgrimage to Tony Pacos in Toledo and are going to do some fishing in Lake Erie this late spring, maybe even catch a Mudhens game. There are some beautiful areas of Ohio too especially in the east.

i was talking to noner a few days ago and realized how good i have it for fishing. one of the best fisheries is at my front door (literally) and the gulf is a short 30 minute boat ride away. i have some of the country's best fishing (freshwater and saltwater) at my disposal. yet i bitch when i don't get to go everyweekend. maybe i should just be happy that i actually could fish everyday, to some extent.

Ditto, while I can't fish every day, i have three straight months of prime fishing time/weather for the north and with my house on the water, its right out my back door. good to have a reminder how good some of us have it.

burke...when i lived in La. i didnt realize it either.. SELA is better than SWLA though for fishin..your closer to venice!
i live on the chesapeake bay and its a fantastic fishery also...fishing year round...doormat size flounder,cobia,huge black drum, then you have striper season..and being in a striper blitz is something that will ruin any other fishing for ya lol the water BOILS with fish splashing the surface..kinda like a tuna blitz too....you catch a fish on every cast! after a couple hours of fishin a blitz my forearms are burnt!
when the striper season in the bay ends in december i turn my attention to trophy Catfish on the James river....another fishery that has ruined it for me lol
here's one i caught last winter...35.5lbs and thats a baby on these waters...the Va. state record is 95lbs!! caught on the James river last march.

I don't see any issue with it...though I'll defer to my friends across the pond to make sure that doesn't mean something other than the literal translation.

the proper english term for cigs

If you're in America, why not call it a cig?
Sorry, I was just thinking about Baseball while eating a hot dog. Thinking about getting a slice of Apple Pie from the local diner. Better hop in my Chevrolet.
-
then why did you ask.
-
nevermind

When I went to Scotland with Team Schro for a golf trip, one of my brothers grew ill and had to be hospitalized for a few days. There were a couple of guys in the same wing with him and one of these guys asked the nurse, "Can I get a fag"? First off, that just sounded wrong! Secondly, how is it that you can light up in a hospital? No, I'm not making this up...Amazing stuff.
-
I was hanging out with some pilots of Emirates Air in NYC and they were talking about how we're (Americans) paranoid about cigs. Then proceeded to tell me that they chain smoke the whole time they are flying the planes. I couldn't believe it, but hten one of the hot flight attendants confirmed it.
-
Another story of my travels...
I was hanging with some British dudes in Japan and one of them dropped their cig. Then he said, thinking that it would throw me off, "It's been a while since I bent over for a fag." I had already heard the term before because I had a 5th grade teacher that referred to a cig as a fag once - about killed all of us 10 year olds from laughter.

It's not a term that I've ever heard, but I can't see anything wrong with it.
Sounds a bit daft though :D

Very nice Paulie!!!

My mate and myself like to consider ourselves good fisherman. However the fish don't seem to agree with us. They seem to think we are just feeding them.
