Catch of the day [Fishing]

[neph93]

I was thinking more about the weight of the line. Do you bait hooks or is the appearance and movement of the lure enough to get the fish going?

[Giles]

No bait, the appearance of the lure and the way it is retrieved is what does the business.  On that set up, I have 60lb braid mainline with a 130lb nylon leader.

Oh, man. That would've turned into a little sashimi snack preeeeetty frickin' quick if I'd have been there!

Om nom nom.

[Giles]

We had Tuna Sashimi that evening and Dorado Sashimi the following evening

As fresh as it can be… so jealous

[nurunuru]

Yeah, that sounds just fine 

Not much in the way of fine sashimi here in the middle of the North American continent, but I did go on a salmon fishing charter out in Lake Michigan a few years back.  When we got back to shore and the skipper was slicing and dicing, I asked him to cut a chunk off for me to chow down on.  Now that was some fine eatin'!

I’ve had this net for years. Never could figure out how to throw it. This was my buddies second toss. They are on the grill now.

Nice

You can take a rod out of my hand, but you can't stop me wishing I had.  Feeding Palometa a nice breakfast roll….

nice, @neph93

[Giles]

Nice, looking forward to joining in…..

@Giles:

Nice, looking forward to joining in…..

Me too.

This guy went back in but if we get two or three like this they are definitely worth taking care of and eating.

[Giles]

For completeness sake, I put this here.  One of the most amazing 30 minutes of fishing I have ever experienced with @neph93

Saltstraumen, incoming spring tide.  Wow, we lucked out…..

[Giles]

Then tonight, I fished my pond….

[neph93]

It was something else wasn’t it. Saltstraumen delivered for sure. And to think I was worried you’d be going home without a bite only five minutes before it kicked off [emoji1]

On another note, am I to understand that you stood in your own garden fly fishing for that tench today?!

[Giles]

Yes, but when i say I caught it on a fly, i mean I had a fly (a freshwater shrimp pattern) tied to the end of the line, which I presented on a tiny spinning rod.  It was like how I fished for Minnows as a child, but with an artificial as bait.

[neph93]

That is hysterical. I love it.
