Post your Fishing Pics!

Can’t believe it has taken me until March for the first trip of the year. But my Dad’s boat was getting lots of new upgrades over winter after its first fishing season.

But at least the first trip was a great one! First fish of the day was this 39.5” Lingcod that I caught. (Also the biggest of the day)

I then proceeded to hook 4 additional lingcod before anyone else on board caught a single thing. My Dad always has a good laugh when this happens and can see how frustrated the guys are getting that I’m out fishing them.

All in all we limited on lingcod, almost limited on rock fish, and caught 38 Dungeness crab.

Winchester Bay, OR - March 12th, 2021

 

I see that Bubba knife , I just got a 9" and it's damn sharp. I can't wait to use it on a Trigger. great catch I could go for some of them Dungeness crab

 

my biggest salmon so far.

 

Cutthroats! Beautiful 1.5hr hike in after a somewhat rough double track to the trailhead.

 

Kokes from a trip on Blue Mesa in Colorado with the brother in law. Awesome trip, so fun.

 

Saw some bigger fish on the finder while in the canoe. Dropped a worm down to this guy and he took it!

 

My daughter's first red

 

Took my friend and his daughter out for Crappie. Her 1st catch was hoss

 

2017....... off the coast of Costa Rica, 120lb Pacific Sailfish.

 

Found a few pics from fishing trips in years past:



Bonus scenery pic of my first Toyota ever, towing my first boat.

 

Red Snapper

 

Hope they are in season, tasty fish. Great catch

 

Got out again this weekend. Near limit on lingcod and rock fish.

3/26/21 out of Charleston, OR







Plus, I bought myself a little 13.5’ boat yesterday.... (a 1960 Glasspar) for me and my sister to crab the bay and do some salmon and perch fishing when my Dad isn’t at the coast with his 23’ Hewes Craft. It’s perfect for us girls to handle on our own.

 

Opening weekend at Riggs Flat, we smashed it!!! Still super cold up at 9k in AZ so we called it a day early! I used a THomas bouyant rainbow spoon for all of my casts, tried a watermelon spoon but nothing would touch it. We’ve been to this lake before and know right where the honey hole is; anchor on top of it and cast out in any direction and pull one in.

 

Very nice! We went to Parker Canyon last week and didn't catch shit. Although, Parker is at 5,000' and kinda in between cold and warm fishing season right now. Had a great time camping though.

 

Did you read/hear about the new regs?! 4daily, but they are stocking big boys now! All over 1.5lbs supposedly. One guy on my fishing page said he did great down there recently(they just stocked the big boys there at Parker)
Parker can still get pretty damn cold with the wind and no real cover

 

I did see a posting of the new limit, doesn't bother me as I catch and release (love fishing, don't like eating fish). Probably didn't help that the lake was as crowded as I've ever seen it and the water level is about 10' down. Oh, yeah, it was windy as fuck.

 

40 Inch Red from our recent trip

 

The boxer and I caught some rainbows today! Could have limited out but my little cooler could only hold four of those guys. They are in brine now, smoking them tomorrow!

 

Super low lake levels for spring. But bite was still pretty good.

 

I've always had a fishing problem too....

 

dammmm!!! how big are those yellowfin?

 

Top left was 345#, middle 183#, left 203#, Wahoo 85#, Giant Squid in the 30's.

 

World Record RedEar . I've caught a few citation bluegill, this is a beast. Makes me want to travel to Lake Havasu



His pending world-record sunfish weighed in at 6.3 pounds and was 17 inches long with a girth of 20 inches.

 

Got into some mid to upper slot Reds. Caught and released 5 and kept 1. It was a blast fighting them on a trout rod with 10# braid. Drum measured 26"
Tackle used-
7' Bulls Bay Sniper rod (med/fast)
Florida Fishing Osprey Carbon Edtion spinning reel(3000) spooled with 10lb Florida Fishing braid
1/4 oz Custom G-EyeJig with Slam Shady Paddle.

Tight Lines!!!!!




The water was clear as Gin, almost to clear

 

awesome Ron. Just got the woman a kayak. Nothing fancy but might have to hit the bay and see what I can do with a fishing rod

 

Love g eye jigs! He lives right around the corner from me. Great company!
