Catch of the day [Fishing]

[Giles]

Excellent - who caught dat?

[neph93]

Jesper got it on the hook, he needed a bit of help to get it in the boat. We’re guesstimating 20kg. The filets got spilt 50/50 with his mate and our share weighed 4kg.

Good boy…...

Fishing for schoolies on the housatonic
This is a striped bass.. Little guy. Let him go. These fish grow up to 75lbs out in the ocean

[Giles]

Nice…

[Matty123]

On a boat with the proper gear. you can get right on top of the HUGE schools and catch 100-200 of these. No joke. Up to 30” the schoolies are

When you know you have a problem…

Looks like @Giles problem is he has run out of flour to bake with….

Too many baits but no fish? Have you tried Gosport harbour? There are even fish in Venice Channels due to less boat travel there with Corona

[dinobarnesberlin]

@Giles looks like your praying at some kind of fishing lure shrine

[Giles]

Oh, I am…...Actually I am weighing and sorting my Bass lures by type....

We're not allowed to fish in the UK atm.  Which is a pisser as there is some good bass fishing 5 mins walk from here, and the Bass should be inshore now…..

The problem is you need a bigger room for lures

[Giles]

That's what I keep telling Paula, she won't listen.  So, I put this outside the room this morning…..(I don't think she's seen it yet)......That'll hold a few rods 

[steelworker]

or a body… ???

[dinobarnesberlin]

Boom

What type of bass?

[Matty123]

You converted all your plugs and poppers to single inline hook? That’s the best. Lose less fish that way.

[Giles]

Proper Bass…..

Some of my bass lures are rigged with in-line singles (I mainly fish with singles in the Tropics), but some are still rigged with trebles or a single and a treble....

[Matty123]

Looks like a big bronzino! Eat good?

Proper bass over here

I’m converting my poppers, darters and jigs to
Single hooks. Can use a bigger sharper hook than on a treble.
