Get Baked and Go Fishing

[Mizzafishkilla]

I love fishing, too, so I thought I'd add a few pics of some recent exploits...
There's a shot of a bunch of albacore on the deck of a charter boat.
Another on a day of "chasing" raxor and steamer clams.
A nice 20 lb Humboldt squid.
And a few steelhead.

Living in the Pac NW can be a drag with a bit much rain aver a long winter, but it's hard to find a better place in the lower 48 for the variety and abundance of fish. It's possible to catch a 30 pound chinook salmon, a 10 lb steelhead, and a 200 lb sturgen in the same day.

Hey joe fresh nice to see you in the thread. LBH... funny name, lets hope he finds his way into our thread then, sounds like our kind of guy indeed



Ive been trying to find full length fishing tv shows, but it seems the online community is keener on watching Friends and whathaveyounot then watching some exiting fishing videos. This video was kind of cool, salmon fishing on Iceland from some English tv program with underwater footage of the take. Unfortunately its just an 8 minute youtube clip.

I'd love to hear from anyone with experience fishing in Alaska. A relative moved there recently and I'll be spending two or three weeks there sometime between April and August. Also pretty stoked to check out the arctic bud scene!

 

[arcticsun]

hey oldschoolsmoker... im not in alaska, but im in the arctic so conditions are similar here as in alaska.


In april the red meat fish (salmon trout etc) is likely to still be in the ocean, gathering at the river outlets and preparing to go upstream. Depending on the latitude, the fish will start going upriver in june. The best fishing month is august where i am, the rivers are full of searun trout and salmon at that time. Im only guessing that it would be similar in Alaska.


Ocean fishing is a year round activity in the far north, Cod and halibut spawn in the winter, the months with the letter R in them are the best for cod and halibut, september through april that is... Big halibut moves into shallow water during the spawning season.


Hope you have fun

Went out with Kryptonite and FLDankster and had a blast. Krypto done good when FLDankster handed him the rod with a 40+lb Amberjack and needless to say he didn't want another, these monsters will make ya think your arms are falling off. We loaded the boat with Red Snapper, Amberjacks and Yellow Tail Snapper. Last pic is of a 55lb Kingfish my son landed, almost took him off the boat.

the salmon run in BC this year was awesome!!!

my abu garcia spin caster and shimano calcutta bait caster did not let me down one bit!!

my buddy and I slayed sockey, chum, spring, and coho. it was my first time fishing in BC and I was not let down one bit. i kept the roe for the river and preserved it myself. smoked salmon, candied salmon, grilled salmon, baked salmon, fried salmon!!

I still have and have had soo much salmon this year !! It was the best run in a long time!

 

[jagdog3]

Love to fish...been fishing bass tournaments for at least 20 years,love the competition.

 

[michael68]

I could fish all day everyday.

I wanna try my hand at baitcasting for bass or some trout fly fishing.

Right now I'm into light spin fishing. Good ole' G. Loomis, fishing in the Eastern Sierras with some plastics and jigs.

 

[motaco]

the rules r that the bass has to be over 12 inches, cuz once they get bigger than that they no longer lay/pollinate eggs.

Actually you've got that backwards. What it is is that they don't want you to take a fish under 12 inches because they HAVEN'T spawned yet. Once they reach a certain size they will spawn. The logic is to let each fish reproduce itself before you eat it. So if you take one under the limit you have taken a fish that has not reproduced itself yet. A larger fish has had a chance to breed.

The most progressive ideas are slot limits. You can keep 2-3 fish over 12 inches and over another certain size you have to release. That way fish have a chance to breed, and trophies have a chance to grow, and you can still get some nice fillets.

I know a decent bit about this stuff but unfortunately occasionally I catch flack from hippies for it. Some people just think their own opinions are better than wild life management experts with thousands of dollars of research behind them.

 

[tennesseetoker]

just got back from a nice fire and a long day of fishing couldn't of been a better day. I catch and release almost all my fish. Nothin like the smell of a nice cedar burnin fire and satisfied feeling of catchin fish almost like nothin else in the world could ever seem more right than that exact moment in time.
