720life Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I F'n love fishin'........... Stupid squaw fish overpopulating Lake Pillsbury.... We have the squaw fish around here too :devil: They inhabit Mayfield lake here in WA as well. WDFW thought that If they put the so called tiger musky in there... <<<<(Not me) That they would eat the squaw. Not so much... The squaw fish will go up into the river and the musky wont :hmm: But those Tigers have to be 54 inches to keep! (from Mayfield lake anyways) Pretty awesome fish. Quote Link to comment

I've always wanted to fish for musky on mayfeild, I think it would be a blast. Quote Link to comment
720life Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 I've always wanted to fish for musky on mayfeild, I think it would be a blast. I KNOW RIGHT! Mayfield lake is like an hour drive from my house and I still haven't done it :hmm: I used to go up to Mayfield lake quite a bit and they are ALWAYS in the kids swimming area cause its the slowest warmest part of the lake :rofl: The cable leaders is what you need cause the teeth on those things are like pirhanna, they'll cut right through fishing line.

Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Only been ocean fishing once. Need to find pics of the red snapper we caught. Mostly I fish on our annual family reunion in Minnesota. Bass fishing is the best! Grandma's house on the lakefront nice lake down the road. Quote Link to comment
motavated Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Wow, this is relevant ! I've been in Oceanside for almost 8 years now and just went on a 3/4 day charter out of Dana Point last weekend for the first time. Kind of crappy day though... we found a good spot but a sea lion messed it all up and all downhill from there. Pot was won with a sheepshead at only about 8 ~9 pounds... was disappointed, tired, and pissed... didn't really pay attention to details. Definitely want to try again, maybe even with a higher-end charter... too many lines crossing on this last one. I work with some Marines who like to fish (ones who got me out on this last trip), but would be cool to include some Ratsuns ! Which boat was this? Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Found an underwater nikon at pawn shop for 99$. Should go back and buy it. No pics but I've been diving on the Pensacola pass west jetty for red snapper. Been seeing spadefish as big as trash can lids along with sheephead, jack, grouper, and a ton of reef fish. I'll try and get the camera before I go out next time. Don't like to pole fish as much as I used to. Spears and mask are the way to go. 1 Quote Link to comment

How do I get in on that? lol Quote Link to comment
Topher88 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Not the best trip but at least we didn't get skunked Took the bluefin to my sushi chef and he cut up the fish and prepared it in 4 amazing dishes.. It's awesome being friends with the owner of your favorite restaurant... We also took home a few big fillets. 2 Quote Link to comment

DatWifey Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 We haven't done a whole lot of fishing in the past few years, as life has been busy (I know, shitty excuse), but I grew up fishing at the lake that my parents' lake cabin is near in the mountains of NE WA for bass. My dad still fishes damn near daily from April through October up there. Pretty good size large mouth that I caught on a brief visit a few years ago.... of course the little neighbor kids were pretty stoked on it too And a nice one that my dad caught last summer And I haven't done a ton of fishing outside of lake-fishing, but did do a 4-month stint working at a fishing lodge as a fish-cutter, among other jobs, in SE AK back in the summer of 2002, and did a bit of salmon, ling cod and halibut fishing up there. And have gone out to the Strait with the hubby, my dad and brother to do a little salmon fishing as well. Brodster and I are hoping to make it out for another trip this September. And kind of a shitty resolution, but funny one..... Here's me teaching Brody how to clean fish in the road in front of my parents' lake cabin sometime around 2003 Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 O and VintageRice- Ya need to fish for the kings and dodge those humpys man, They are not worth a damn when compared to kings or cohos...Fighting them is not as much fun and eating them is not as good ;) But I wont deny that any fish on the end of a line is better then no fish :lol: If kings and Ho's were as ez as humpys I'd do it more! :) I enjoy silvers in the rivers after the humps zombie out. But you cant beat 45 minute limits on hard fighting salmon.(hard fighting compared to other fish not other salmon) Using nothing but a 1/4 jig. Great fun and I look forward to it ever two years! I cant wrap my head around these guys(no offence, I'm just not rich) that have a 30,000 alumacraft, two downriggers, sonar, big level wind rods reels, a huge flasher, 5 lb ball of lead and troll allllllll day long for one or two fish on 50lb line. Just not my cup of tea. I much prefer "hunting" fish in tight quarters on light gear in the river. Just gets me excited knowing that fish is RIGHT THERE and its up to me to get the right presentation and speed to make that sucker hit. FUN! Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 ^^ :thumbup: I fish for the fight.....and I love being outdoors. I usually use the lightest tackle possible for the situation.... Do all my lake fishing with an ultra-light.....no matter how big a fish I'm going for..... Quote Link to comment

Do all my lake fishing with an ultra-light.....no matter how big a fish I'm going for..... I love ultra light! Salmon or trout, Lakes or rivers I always use ultra light gear. I use 12lb line with a 10 lb leader for ALL my salmon fishing. I caught a quite a few 20 pounders and a couple 30s with that set-up. O and 10 foot ultra light rod. Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 O and 10 foot ultra light rod. Am I reading that correctly?? 10' ultra light?? where did you get this?? Oics? Quote Link to comment
svo521 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 I havent gone fishing in a while... but i have a 500 gallon aquaponics system full of Tilapia :-) Harvest time is soon! just waiting for them to spawn one more time. :-) and i think my method of harvest is gonna be one of them cheap disney poles just for fun hehe 1 Quote Link to comment
Son_of_a_Datsun_Guy Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Tilapia are good eatin'. I'm jealous. Quote Link to comment
720life Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Am I reading that correctly?? 10' ultra light?? where did you get this?? Oics? Yep sure are. I work in a sporting goods shop so I get to play around with all kinds of fishing gear and what-not. I had the medium light action Celio from Okuma and a customer came in with a broken eye on the bottom half of his ultra-light and wanted me to replace it. I told him it wouldn't be ready until the next day. He apparently HAD to fish that day So he bought a new pole and left the old one for me to throw out. I took the top half of his ultra-light and modified it to fit into the bottom half of my medium light making an ultra light with medium action spine (make sense?) It fishes like an ultra light but has a lil more power when you need it cause of the medium action bottom half. Its like 9' 9" or so, not quite 10' nor full Ultra Light but about as close to it as I could get with what I had. Theres me next to it. Im about 6'5" for some size comparison. Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Does Wallmart sell that spray paint that makes it look like you have hair?? Maybe in a light brown? beige maybe? Quote Link to comment
svo521 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 When i lived in CO we went to this place called Peltier lake.... could only hike in or horseback. 3.5 mile trail climbing 2000 ft. Full of cut throats. Saw a few bear cubs. Quote Link to comment
