Post your Fishing Pics!

Daughter just texted me “we gone”!! Flat calm not a breeze to be had anywhere and she is blasting offshore!!!

Snapper and what ever else filets today!!!
Fixin to break the jetties

 

It’s nice to have a friend that commercial fishes. The daughter and a couple of her friends go out catch snapper he gets free labor. They caught 300 pounds of Snapper and as they were unloading it people were buying filets. Somehow a nice bag of filets makes it back to my house. He’s a good friend and an old fishing buddy.

Daughter never takes any pictures offshore she says they are much to busy catching fish!! They left late 7:30ish and was back by around noon. Flat calm so they could run hooked up. The two friends that our daughter asked to go had never been offshore before so she said they had a fun time and caught Snapper for their first time. There was another boat that saw them and they did not like the fact that they were catching all those fish but our friend has to call it in every trip and he has a transponder on the boats. All fish/ poundage is accounted for and reported, it a huge deal about sustainability and all that. The Texas DNR sometimes meet the boats and actually sits there and makes sure numbers reported are the same that come off the boats.

 

Avets and Accurates…. Two of my favorites!

 

Avets and that’s my daughters 6/0 Jigging Master PE6 Power Spell a Japanese reel (unbelievable drag system) dang kid has some nice things (big Avets) stuff that was not even around back in the day. I wish I had some of her stuff when we use to fish!

Where????


What tackle do y’all use on them boats?

 

Looks like the guy behind you is hooked up too.

 

He was... we got 47 on that 2 day trip for 17 anglers. 19 over 100lbs one other over 200lbs. my cow was the biggest.

 

The boat the Tomahawk out of Fishermans Landing in San Diego. I was on 150# metered braid w150# mono top shot using a 400g knife jig on a 200lb mono leader. same setup for both BFTs that trip.

 

What reel??

You were loaded for monsters!

 

I like Penn reels. This was a Fathom II 60 2spd

 

Nice!!

I’ll take a picture of a line splicer holder I have made. I splice most of my daughter’s lines for her and a couple others for their boat rods.

 

Sent you a PM

 

My son caught this 6lb fattie last evening. Took two hands for him to hold it. His largest bass to date.

 

That’s worth bragging about!!!

 

Left my phone on shore, but pulled in a couple nice dorados out of Loreto, B.C.S. a few days ago. Nothing earth shattering, but they tasted good…

Had a nice marlin chasing our feathers, but couldn’t get him to play.

 

Got a decent hold over on a rainbow trout spoon. high mountain lake in AZ

 

Nothing crazy but the 8 year old has been slaying the bass this year. 3 year old hooked and reeled his first in yesterday on the river and did not disappoint!

 

Outstanding!!!! YAY!!! Great fish yall

 

The bigger one just before this, got away as I was trying to grab him.

I wasn't expecting to be targetting Channel Catfish, but the Carolina Rig for goldeye and smaller cats, was getting washed away in the current. I was using light tackle (12lb rod and 10lb test), no net.

Was super fun as both ran the drag on full (Penn Battle II 2000, braid) and each gave a 5-10min fight.

Released immeidately.

 

Here is that gal that make cakes, this time she did a Mako

 

This was sent to me. What is left of a monster Mako. They said the head weighed 100kg. This was a monster so the shark or sharks had to be awfully big to eat this thing!!! There are die giants out there for sure! Yes Mako is delicious,,,,, to other sharks too evidently.

 

What bit that mako in half? A Meg?
Huge tunas. But I love when you see a kid with his fish,they are the future of fishing.

 

This is around Windmill Point at the mouth of the Rappahannock, Chesapeake Bay.

7/21, day after a storm. Chesapeake Bay was like a lake! I didn't expect a hot bite due to the storm but fishing as amazing.

I was after Spanish Mackerel. Other were chumming for Cobia and seemed to be catching as well. Signs of life everywhere, baitballs, schools of fish, birds. It was an amazing day. Caught all I wanted, size between 19 and 23 inches, kept 5, lost a couple and threw one back. Then moved to slow troll for Cobia on way back but no luck with them.

 

likely Orcas IMHO

 

stingrays are back in season, they put up a good fight

 

60+ miles East of Wellfleet last weekend no tuna tons of whales and bait.
Came across 1 mile long of bait and 100' thick don't know how wide but tons of it.

 

Hit the Canyons the next day and bagged one yellow fin.
