RacerxV6 Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Well there was no bite on yesterday. The only thing I could muster was a hybrid thankfully it covered my bare torso!!! Meanwhile my daughter and her boy friend enjoyed a quick splash while I attempted to free line some herring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may also know that this decision has led to oh, so many hillarious learnings (lost engines, forgotten plugs, plugs in the wrong holes, half sinkings, etc). All of these mistakes he has taken in stride and owned, and his stated goal is to end up on the qualified captain instagram page so that he can say he has made every possible mistake. I am proud of him even while I shake my head. Yesterday, he and I decided to buddy-boat, hitting different parts of the river in our boats with the idea that we would call the other if we found a good bite. Obviously, I assumed it would be me calling him. Halfway through the day, my phone rings. He is calling, not because he found fish, but because he literally cannot fit anymore fish into his live well and needs to put some in mine. Having only managed a few flounder, I was sufficiently humbled, but not so much that I didn’t steal his spot to put my other son on a decent fish. You a killing it!!! Great catches and hell of a feast! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post THE OUTLAW Posted June 13, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 We towed them , complete strangers, from , South of Rodgers , to the ramp . Outdoor Resorts. They broke down at 10:30 , and they had a stick , with a shirt, for a flag. Said dozens of boats went by but no one stopped. 👎🏻 We saw them at 2:30 , after blasting the snook. Got back to ramp at 8:30 , so my math is a little flawed . I have been on both ends , of that long rope. Weather it is the beginning , of your trip , or the end , we as Gladesmen have the responsibility to not look the other way . 🇺🇸🏴☠️ 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the fishing was so good beforehand. The 70 year-old woman was obviously not someone to be cautious about. However, the following story happened on a quiet weekday on the lake we frequent, near the ramp where we launch. Long story short - an older couple on their pontoon stopped to help a young couple thrown from their jet-ski in distress. When brought onboard the pontoon the jet-ski guy (crazed, on drugs, or demonic) attacks and beats the older, smaller man and his wife continually until the older man grabs his gun and shoots the jet-ski guy in self defense. The aggressor died on the pontoon. It was ruled a justified kill. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10649259/Teen-jet-skier-shot-dead-Lake-Keowee-Good-Samaritan.html https://www.thestate.com/news/state/south-carolina/article259617314.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds of that happening are slim - and we should always try to be helpful and kind to others. Just be careful. Two of my favorite lines in the movie Jeremiah Johnson are: Watch your Top Knot.

mxf255 Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 My family went with some friends to the Destin area for our annual beach trip. The seaweed/algae was bad for the first half of the week but gradually cleared up (no boat, only fishing from the beach). I was able to get the line tight a few times. The best part was that my daughter was pumped to hang out with dad and see the fish that I caught. Here are the fish I have pictures of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenbone Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 2 seasoned young anglers. Ryland and Brady boated and released pair 29’s and kept 27” for the grille 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shallowminded6 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 Spent the week in Cape Coral. Got to sneak out for about 2-3hrs of fishing and found a nice Snook and a decent Mangrove(not pictured). Took my 3y/o out who falls asleep almost as soon as my 140 starts and slept for about 30min into my first spot(all he wants its for me to castnet fish). Which explains the second pic which is a remake of a fishing Weekend At Bernies. (Cooler is a 65qt yeti 30 5/8”) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 That’s awesome! My kids always loved the bait in the live well and the rubber lures that stick to the console and slowly roll down. Entertained them for hours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whichwaysup Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Buddy and I double boated up to the Pamlico sound chasing a tip we had gotten from another friend. Paid off pretty well! Biggest striper was 32 (my son’s), but also got a 28, 26, 24, and 21. Managed 3 trout, bunch of flounder, and some (future) bull reds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Troy Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 I have a price on my head but not my fishing as of yet. I will go broke but not crazy sitting home. I will admit to saving all the back bones and throats. Fish stock is good and so is the fish spread. No waste and the catfish behind the cleaning table are pissed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do the fish stock thing too, it makes for a mean mean soup base! Tell me more about the heads and throats and the fish dip - you just throw the carcasses on the smoker then pick them clean? Had never thought of that, but would be a far sight better than tossing all that rib meat I always feel bad about throwing away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Capt Obvious Posted June 23, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Not exactly the catch that I would normally brag about (the fish not the woman) except that this one came on the very first cast that was made out of our new to us Redfisher. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
