Fishing 2017

[BOTS]

Nice one Willie!...bout time u got out and sunk a line!

 

[sotc]

No doubt, fishing is picking up but time is sparse

 

[Burnham]

Choices, choices...

 

[Limbrat]

Way to go Willie!

Choices, choices...

That's not helping me keep my nose to the grind stone...

Putting your knife on the whetstone is more fun. Were hoping for some tuna this trip but they eluded us. Mostly mangrove, red and vermillion snapper, along with king mackerel, red grouper, bar jacks, some big cudas and of course, sharks and more sharks.

 

[cory]

What kind it that shark. Do you cut the line near his mouth or a few feet away?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Oh, I'm sure they get up nice and close!

 

[FireFighterZero]

I think that qualifies as a "mess" of fish!

Nice work Ray.

Dont know if I mentioned this before, but a fellow from the big town over west stopped by and dropped off his NuCanoe Frontier 12 for me to try.

Very excited.

I reckon I will take it out to a little pond to the south tomorrow. Only going to get to 92 tomorrow, so a morning trip could be fun.

These dang things are very expensive, but it looks like they would be worth it.

Holds 650 pounds!

That looks cool http://www.kencocustoms.com/nucanoe...9bB2r_zj33o7oV68GYheeVxgtEpLiSW8coaAlNF8P8HAQ

Let us know how it goes.

Man, I just saw a vid about a kayak fisherman that was fishing off of Hawaii and left his foot dangling in the water. No good result came from that.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Saltwater bears???

 

[woodworkingboy]

Yes indeed.

 

[MasterBlaster]

They always go for the feet!

 

[FireFighterZero]

Saltwater bears???

Hahaha! The bastids!


Yes, Cory. I think this kayak will suit my needs perfectly.

The guy that loaned it to me said you cant tip it over. You can fall off but it does not tip.


Lots of guys get the long SUP paddle and fish standing up...never sitting to paddle.

Kinda sounds like the best of both worlds.

 

[cory]

Cool. I hope you get a kick out of it cuz there is definitely a kick to be had.

where does the outboard motor go on that?

 

[squisher]

Look closely. It goes at the back like any boat. Transom/motor mount.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Being a daft bastard......I learn I don't have a fishing license.



Or ice......or worms.......

 

[squisher]

Those things will be cheap compared to the canoe.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I am glad I remembered.

I think they can take all your shit if you don't have a license. Including a borrowed kayak.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Crikey!

 

[Limbrat]

What kind it that shark. Do you cut the line near his mouth or a few feet away?

Cory that's a dusky. We try to get our hooks back but if you don't have a wire leader they usually don't give you the chance. We use a de-hooker that works really well if you can get them up beside the boat.
Jim, maybe the fellow that dropped off the canoe will forget where he left it. That's a nice looking rig.

 

[cory]

A dehooker!?! Wow nice. Do you have to use special hooks for it to work?

 

[MasterBlaster]

There was a time, back in the day, when I coulda stood to dehooker myself.
