Fishing!

Those fights can take hours depending on the species of fish, the size of the fish, the size of the boat, the captain of the boat, and your gear.

I went sturgeon fishing when I lived in OR, and it took me nearly an hour and a half to land a 450 pound sturgeon. That was the greatest trip of my life.

I am so jealous. Pics?

All on my broken laptop, so not anymore.

Damn. That's a real shame. I'd like to see that fish. =/

I may go next year, so maybe I can catch one again.

When I was younger, I would go fishing quite a lot, and quite good at it. I still fish when I can now, but don't get to do it as much as I'd like to, unfortunately.

So do you guys prefer bait or tackle?

I use bait for deep sea fishing or fishing at the beach, and tackle for fresh water fishing.

Fishing brings back good childhood memories.

I haven't went fishing for over a year now and I miss it. I've been wanting to go for the past few months, but I don't have a fishing license so I can't. Since there's less than half a year now I guess I'll wait until 2013 to get one.... maybe.

I like to fish but it's not worth the 50 bucks plus report cards and tags. I usually fish off the pier in moro or capitola once a year and try to do a 2 day license for sturgeon in the Delta and abalone in the north.

I've always been a fan of using bait and only ever really used tackle when I ran out of bait or needed to catch more.

Ever heard of a Sabiki rig? It's a small rig with six hooks that have a small bit of decoration and glow underwater.

They're great for catching bait fish. There has yet to be a time when I put one in the water and don't bring anything up on it.

The only time I haven't used tackle was when I went catfish fishing and sturgeon fishing.

Can't fish with a lure with more then three hooks or a line pole with more then 3 hooks on it. Unless you sea fishing. There a setup Called a cali rig


It's just easier to buy a second pole tag and have a drag hook line and have a knife handy before the popo comes.

Two of my most recent catches.

Live bait always. I can't stand using tackle unless I'm applying bait to it.
Beautiful fish though. I'll post what I get in two days.

So I went fishing today and caught a small 5 inch catfish... that was it. As for the others that was with me they caught a lot more.

There was a lot of bites but I kept missing them D:D:D: At least I caught something :D

I take it that means you fish using a regular J hook rather than a circle hook?

Last time I was out fishing was 2004. At a fishing contest on Iceland. I won for smallest fish got 2 trophies and a nokia for it. I have a lot of people that are crazy about fishing in my family so it won't take long until they invite me.

I mainly use the sea striker rig aka old dominion rig.


Usually get some croakers, spot, and once in awhile sea mullet.
