Fishing...or any outdoor activity

I love to fish and just be out on the ocean. Greatest place ever. I used to live in Naples, Florida and that is all we did. Here's some pics. The first is a Tarpon my buddy and I caught at the tip of Caxambas Pass on Marco Island. It weighed aproximatley 70-80lbs. We caught 9 and hooked into aproximately 27 tarpon in 3 days of fishing for just a couple hours after work. Probably some of the best fishing I have ever done. The second is a 520lb(FORMULA derived: multiply the square of the girth in inches by the length in inches and divide by 800) Jewfish caught 2 miles off Gordon Pass.

I went to a different wreck a few weeks later with my buddy and I about 24 miles to the southwest and we hooked up with a Jewfish we could not get up on 100Lb class tackle. We finally unhooked the anchor line caught a spanish mackerel and shackled the anchor line to a hook and hooked up the spanish mack and dropped it down. Instantly this thing swallows it and we cleated it off to the starboard side port cleat and put the boat in gear and pulled it out of his hole, almost tearing the cleat from it's foundation in the process. When we hauled it up we had to get in the water to measure it. It was almost 7 feet long and almost as big around. It had a girth of 5'10". It was definately the biggest Jewfish we had ever seen. We put our masks on and revived it and snorkled around for awhile. The wreck is in 43 feet of water but it has a releif of almost 35 feet, and it is amazing how alive the goddamn ocean is. There were Barracuda in the afternoon that would rise to the surface and they'd be stacked like lumber, you could walk across 'em. Now I'm just rambling, god I love that place, cannot wait until I get back...

thats a pretty massive fish lol

damn big fish

i love fishing man definatly one of my hobbies.

i love to fish myself, going on a little fishing/camping/canoeing trip over spring break, should be a good time. I got me a 57 pounder when we went to the virgin islands. It was intense. An alltime great experience really

I loves me some fishing. I'm here around cocoa fl myself. Don't have a boat so I mostly do some wade fishing around the IRL and ML near titusville. Been thinking about getting a cano or kayak for the no motor zone around port canaveral. I've waded out into it a bit, but not got to any of the good spots around there yet.

Holy Crap...

I love fishing, me and my old man still go in the spring/summer. I like fishing at work when im not busy. I also have a boat for fishing and just enjoying myself in, but im not a sea person. Mine stays on the rivers of Norfolk. Mainly the Bure/Ant/Thurn.

i love fishing.... nothing better then sitting out there, all peaceful, just watching the water and shit, waiting to feel that tug on your line... man i love it....

biggest thing i ever caught was like a 10lb striped drum, wasn't even in deep water or anything... and the funny shit is THERE WASN'T ANY BAIT ON THE HOOK! just threw the line out, you know to make sure it was casting right and everything... and i was reelin it back in to bait up and start.. and i get this massive hit on my line and i'm like "goddamnit! another fucking snag!" everytime i get snagged i yank the line immediately, hoping the line will losen up before it really sets in on whatever i'ts hooked on... and i start reeling it in, and it's coming in, but i'm feeling alot of resistance.. i'm thinking i hooked a log or something....

lol, it's on this beach type place (it was our secret fishing spot, no boats, no jet skis, no body around, but some dumb fucks started going out there and dumping trash so they closed it up for good ... FUCKERS!) and i'm reeling it in, and then as it gets to the waters edge i notice it's shiny as hell... i'm like... that looks like a ....fish? lol i freaked out.. i caught a massive fish (for the area we fish in, shit you're lucky if you catch a 5 lb catfish there) and i didn't even have any bait on the hook......

I mostly go freshwater fishing but my uncle lives on the coast of north carolina. I've caught some mahi mahi(dolphin), king mackarel, baracudda, flounder, wahoo. There's more but i forget them all.

Mostly largemouth bass, perch, and sunfish/bluegill around here. Lots of salmon and steelhead too.

Oh man, I LOVE to fish. And boat, and jetski, and tube, and cliff dive. I also love to hike, hunt, and bury family members.

fishing is fun... i only do river and lake fishing... and commercial fishing on a river(the government gave my tribe commercial fishing rights in a treaty) mostly just salmon and trout... one or 2 bass... but i reeled in a king salmon about 4 feet long... over the summer... i almost pulled out a shot gun to kill the thing so i could real it back in... needless to say... i was done fishing for that day... parts of the fish are still in my dads freezer i think....

ok... im not meaning to make you mad or anything... salmon are just a cannabis plant..(cannabis has many different strains) there are many different types of salmon... and i hate when some one says... lots of salmon, and steel heads to...because steel-heads are a salmon...

let's see....Is a steelhead a salmon or a trout?

The steelhead is a rainbow trout that migrates to sea as a juvenile and returns to fresh water as an adult to spawn. Unlike the Pacific salmon, the steelhead trout does not always die following spawning and may spawn more than once and return to the sea after each spawning.
from Salmon lesson---FAQs

What exactly is a Steelhead...is it a Salmon or a Trout?

Steelhead is a sea-run (anadromous) Trout that, unlike the Pacific Salmon, has the ability to return to spawn numerous times, although repeat spawning rates are fairly low. Steelhead are of either the Winter or Summer Run variety.
from Salmon and Steelhead FAQ



Sounds to me like you told me they were the same.
i could care less if you hate when someone calls two different fish by their true name.

thats like growing some big bud, northern lights...etc but saying eh its all just weed.

what your tribe doesnt have a casino so you have to commercial fish? :S4:

Fishing? Oh F Yeah! Growing up in Houston, I had the best of both worlds...fresh and saltwater. My dad had a 21' Sportcraft with 160hp Mercruiser in/out. Loved going 30+ miles out in the Gulf and catching King, Ling (Cobia), Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, and Amberjack.

As I got older, what I really enjoyed was wade fishing around San Louis Pass or driving down the beach at Bolivar looking for seagulls feeding or skitish baitfish. Fishing for Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Reds. I would have the truck packed-up the night before. Have the coffee set for 10 minutes before the alarm clock so it would be ready when I woke up. Fill up one of those huge insulated coffee mugs and hit the road. It was about a 1 hour drive from Houston and I would have the Rock blaring loud, puffing on a fatty rolling down the road at 4:00 A.M. Wade out into the water just as the sun was rising....nothing like it!

Now I live on a lake. The drive to the Gulf is about 2 1/2 hours now so I don't get to go as often as I would like. The plus is that I can walk outside and fish here anytime I get "the itch".

Any like-minded Texans between here and the coast that would like to plan a trip, get with me. I know how it is to go fishing with someone that needs constant attention (which is okay I guess...I don't mind teaching someone that REALLY want's to learn), but trust me....I am not that person. No babysitting required here....I DO know the sport.

Holla!

Those early morning trips are awesome. We would leave Naples at 3am, get to the tea table bridge right as sun was coming up with some live shrimp, crabs, or some poppers and absolutely hammer the baby tarpon and sometimes mommy would join in but we'd never get her in on 10lb tackle.

i like fishing too although the only things ive caught are eels and a small rainbow trout. they all tasted damn good though. ive taken up beachcasting now and the way i see it is that even if i catch sod all i've at least had a nice day out at the beach. i dont have any time for sport fishing myself, i want to eat what i catch and throw the stuff i dont want to eat back alive.

going out and throwing rocks at little boys riding bikes

where do you live? out there by the trinity river and shit or what? cuz i don't know of any other place there is a lake (and the lake over near there is manmade..)

i'd love to go fishin' but i woudln't have a way to hook up with you or anything.. so i'm kinda screwed...

Slipknot, I live on Lake Livingston. And I don't know why we couldn't get together for a trip. I would have to pass through Houston to get to Galveston. Even driving into Boliver from the East is pretty hassel-free for me.

If my calculations are correct, you would probably want to get with me around mid June anyway. I just had some LedaUno, Mandalla #1, and Sweet Sative Special break through the soil in the last couple of days ;)
