Fishing. Let's see your work.....

Buddy of mine hooked a 400+ lb. Yellowfin and lost it at the Revillagigedo Archipelago in Mexico. Tommy Rothrie was the skipper and told us about it on an albacore trip. Another buddy fought a 130+ bigeye and lost it to a hammerhead=we had a sashima snack from the head and "ears" (One guy always brings wasabi and ginger).

 

I caught and released 3 Golden Shiners about eight inches long. I may throw out a catfish rod tonight.

 

Guess who got up at 5am?

 

$12.99 a pound!

 

OMG!
I am really bad at trout fishing, how do you all do it? For the most part I am fishing stocked trout and try the trout dough but no dice.

 

More aggressive in moving water? Throw a 3/8ths ounce Rooster Tail.

 

I tell there are guys out there, nobody will be catching anything, and they will limit out.

 

These were just swimming around in WVa yesterday.

 

I need a Brookie to complete my Trout Slam event. And I know right where a Tiger Trout is laying.

 

It could be something simple like, a mealworm/power bait combo? You should reel in a foot or two to tease the fish. Or like an earthworm on the jig, or try a trout magnet with a float and just let it sit there.

 

When I caught my Golden Trout, it would not bite anything. So I jigged a trout magnet in front of him and it was like magic!

 

I have fried trout magnet power bait and worms and nothing seems to work
Not sure if there are any wild trouts nearby I can fish for here (I am in Boston). That might be my next thing to try.

the funny thing is I catch bass pretty easily. Of course it’s in summer and they are generally more aggressive fish that trout. But I consider myself pretty good at bass fishing, just the trout that get the better of me.

 

These fish are like piranha. You just have to find one that’s biting. Remember if you can see them they don’t bite. Usually. And some of the native streams you have to take your barb off and no bait, we have those here can’t keep them.

 

I always preferred Zeke's over Power Bait (Garlic Cheese) for trout in a lake. Try fingering a salmon egg (or cluster) VERY slowly across a pool. Z-Rays have always worked (if you can find them anymore) and I've had good luck with heavy Kastmasters in lakes (to get out where it's deep). Gold on hazy days; silver on bright days.

I've fished antique cane rods with flies the last few years but fished with my great-nephews and had forgotten how much fun spinning rods with lures are!

 

So jealous!

 

Everytime I go out I throw a shrimp on the line and then sit back and try to catch a buzz. Caught one everytime

 

What Pompano or something?

 

What you don’t see is the temp. My boot started melting it was like 96 degrees in the sunbeam there.

 

No, a buzz. Alcohol or wacky tobaccy the easiest. There's other options. Only problem is when the reel starts screaming. Then you have to actually do something besides sit back and enjoy

 

Check out this “Kyped” out male Rainbow!

 

I miss fishing. I used to go out atleast once a week. Now I'm lucky to get out twice a year.

 

Get your steps in AND get fed.

 

I’ld like to thank Berkley, Johnny Morris, Tica, vanish line, could not of done it without my landing net magnetized to my back.

 

I caught a 19 inch Rainbow!2pound 7 ounce.

 

It was like hand-to-hand combat.

 

Next to a ten inch rainbow.it’s been years since I’ve landed one this big. It ties my biggest which was 19 inches.

 

I named him “Walter”.https://youtu.be/j_h8C_rCbgU

 

Look how pink the meat is. It has some kind of growth by its jaw.

 

Took me over forty five years of trout fishing to catch this guy.
This might be the best tasting trout I’ve ever ate.
