its becoming the best time of the year to fish. bass are starting to bed up for spawning and are becoming ripe for the picking.

caught today not on a bed though

Lake Camanche

[fffffut]

fuck fishing

why you gotta go rip up a fishes shit for no reason?

[chantheman]

guys gotta eat

If you are into catch-and-release, it's very humane and sporting. The fun doesn't only lie in fighting the fish to the boat/shore -- but finding where they are, what they're biting and why.

I've always wanted to try deep sea fishing.

I vote sufu split costs on a game fishing sesh & try to cop some marlin or swordfish.

bigass feast after.

[chantheman]

done marlin fishing once in costa rica...unsuccessful. traveled out hella far too. if that boat broke down we were fucked.

I went deep sea fishing for the first time a couple weeks ago, shit was fun as fuck! We went out for 3/4 day with about 20 people on the boat and caught 19 yellowfins, a ton of rockfish and a few halibut. Two days later the same boat with different peeps went out and caught 115 yellows! I've lived in San Diego my whole life and never knew what I was missing out on. We're already planning another one for next month.

And can anyone give advice on a good saltwater fishing rod/reel setup? I rented a rod for my first time out but wanna buy my own since rentals cost $15 and I plan on going out many more times. What's a good site to buy gear from?

Here's a pic of my friend with a yellow he caught:

What's a good site to buy gear from?

If you're just getting into it, I'd suggest Cabela's. They stock an incredibly large amount of gear and rod + reed packs (of pretty good quality) for beginners and experts alike.

yesterday at berryessa. storm front coming in to nor cal so the weather was nice but the fish werent biting. caught most of the fish off beds

[haploid]

What were you using? I hear both ultra-finesse and reaction-type baits work in the beds. Unfortunately the water is really cloudy in the lakes near me so sight-casting to the beds is really tough.

[chantheman]

reaction wont work.

you want to toss grubs or worms in there to piss off the bed fish

[chantheman]

you need no ripple/wind and clear water. so the stars have to be aligned to bed fish plus the 2 month spring window for spawning. its all about timing

How the Cobra Lily traps insects is a ballet for Trout Fishing

in America, a ballet to be performed at the University of

California at Los Angeles.

The plant is beside me here on the back porch.

It died a few days after I bought it at Woolworth's. That

was months ago, during the presidential election of nineteen

hundred and sixty.

I buried the plant in an empty Metrecal can.

The side of the can says, "Metrecal Dietary for Weight

Control, " and below that reads, "Ingredients: Non-fat milk

solids, soya flour, whole milk solids, sucrose, starch, corn

oil, coconut oil, yeast, imitation vanilla, " but the can's only

a graveyard now for a Cobra Lily that has turned dry and

brown and has black freckles.

As a kind of funeral wreath, there is a red, white and

blue button sticking in the plant and the words on it say, "I'm

for Nixon."

The main energy for the ballet comes from a description

of the Cobra Lily. The description could be used as a welcome

mat on the front porch of hell or to conduct an orchestra

of mortuaries with ice-cold woodwinds or be an atomic

mailman in the pines, in the pines where the sun never shines.

"Nature has endowed the Cobra Lily with the means of

catching its own food. The forked tongue is covered with

honey glands which attract the insects upon which it feeds.

Once inside the hood, downward pointing hairs prevent the

insect from crawling out. The digestive liquids are found in

the base of the plant.

"The supposition that it is necessary to feed the Cobra

Lily a piece of hamburger or an insect daily is erroneous. "

I hope the dancers do a good job of it, they hold our

imagination in there feet, dancing in Los Angles for Trout

Fishing in America.

bed fishing on the california delta. got to get the advantage anyway you can

o 5 pounder, its been a couple years since i caught one of you

[fallen angels]

i might be going to Fiji with my boss next month for work. Last year when she was there, the staff at the property caught this:

250 pounds, cod i think. they ate some, and donated the whole thing to a local hospital.

chantheman, are you pro? Or are those amateur tournaments that you're fishing in?

[chantheman]

im just fun fishing. my dad use to fish tournaments back in the 80's and did quite well. didnt have the money saved up back then to try and take it national. pretty risky esp when i was just born and my parents were first married. he had sponsors from a lot of lure companies, g-loomis and skeeter. even patented a spinnerbait that he ended up giving to diawa for product and his name on the package, supposedly big in japan but i never saw the lure when i went there (not the smartest business move). should have asked for a penny from every bait made instead or something.

Went on a 1/2 day with some buddies last week and landed a nice 15 lb. halibut, along with some white seabass, rockfish and sculpin.

[skistar]

I got really into fly fishing last year so that's all I've really been doing lately. All my pictures are on my old phone, I'll try to dig up some nice cutthroat!

this is from last year deep sea fishing in the Indian Ocean, 115 lb Yellow Fin tuna, thing was massive and delicious. Took 4 of us 30-45 minutes, but they cut it up for us right on the beach!

[chantheman]
