i don't know how many people on here are into fishing but its the summer time so i know a few of you atleast gotta throw out a pole every once in a while. so i felt like starting a thread on fishing. mainly bass fishing but any kind will do. post pictures and discuss what you use and whats good at your local ponds/lakes.

Click for larger image caught on lake george about two years ago. biggest smallmouth i've ever seen in person. and i hooked up a little ways north up the lake in between two islands where a rock met the surface in the middle. smallmouths love those rocks. caught with 4inch senko i recall.

i get sea sick too, that time wasn't bad but i went again last year and it was brutal, we hardly caught anything either, not fun at all

i've hauled out stripers that big with a fly rod though, that's the fun thing to do, i stood on the beach in provincetown harbor with my uncle and we were pulling out massive stripers close to shore with saltwater rods

c-c-claim thread, turn to face the claim.   C-c-claim thread!  - Journey's post on NS

anyway, yeah I fish.  Out with a knee injury this spring, so I've been fly fishing most days.  Just got a fat 15 stocked rainbow trout today, really fun.  Going up to maine camping/fishing in  few weeks, Anyone on NS fish the Kennebago?  Only been fly fishing a year and a half, but been doing saltwater alll my life. 

Mostly inshore saltwater for bass, blues and fluke, with the occasional schoolie bluefin or albie.  Been cod fishing offshore on party boats a few times, but very poor fishing for everyone on board.  Very hit or miss.  And I'd like to try stripers on a fly.  My dad has a 22 footer center console, so ideal for it. 

I have a picture (print) of me at 14 with a 32 pound striper and it pretty much dwarfs me, of course I had a grin ear to ear.  I'll try to upload somehow. 

Hopefully working on a commercial trawler this summer too.

didn't mean your post so much as the entire thread.  No, I quoted because I want to start salt water fly fishing, not on a ball busting agenda.

That sounds cool, it's been years since I was out on a deep sea boat. Sucks though I'll be down there surf fishing and camping the following weekend in DE. I'll post pics if I get anything good. Should be lake fishing in the ADKS in about 2 weeks, so hopefully I'll have some luck up there too.


Just ignore the stupid color swap setting I had on the cam. The fish still looks good though.

My biggest fish i ever caught was a 52lb wahoo in cancun, ive been fishing alot this summer, and have been catching loads of bass, went today in the pouring rain, caught one small bass, and one like 2 and a half pounder using a jersey rig, ill have to find the pic of the 7 1/2 pound bass and scan it onto my computer

Claim: i won largest large mouth bass at a fishing contest and have a trophy to prove it, though our lake is shit. Also i caught 60+ rockies in under 4 hrs when i was like 10, they were all under 8 inches though, our lake is like that...so many rock bass, and they are all so small and so easy to catch off the dock.
