Fishing.

Post by songsmith »

I'm ready.

So, where's everybody going? I still haven't learned to fly-fish, a goal of mine, and didn't get my trout stamp, but I'm considering it. I'll be in Florida next week, and I'd like to do some surf-fishing there, I'll let you all know how it goes.
I can't wait... another month or so, and the smallies wake up enough for me to catch 'em!--->JMS

Me and Dusty (singer in 'vent') are probably going fly fishing several times this year. you're welcome to come, I've got an extra rod.

but nothing planned for the first day, show the night before. but I usually get two or three times a week to fish before, during, and after work :)

I still need to get my license and trout stamp; probably will do so this week.

I typically don't go out on the first day of trout because of the crowds. I might be out the second day, though, and due to my changed work schedule, I expect to be out and hitting the lakes and rivers much more frequently this year.

If I make it to the Outer Banks this summer, I plan to use a day to fish off the Avalon pier.

I haven't fished in years. Even when I did, I didn't fish but once in a blue moon. But I would like to actually fish a couple times this year, assuming it comes down to it. When does fishing season start?

Man, I can't wait for the season to open. Might go for a drive tomorrow to SE parts. Knock the winter dust off and see what else I need for the year.

You know, witch, I was specifically waiting for you to say that! :lol:

JP, your job status means you'll have time to kayak on the weekends... Crystal and I go every single weekend, and we have an extra kayak. I showed them smallmouth bass what-fer last year, banner year, and I expect the same this year if we get adequate rain.

As for trout fishing, I have my father-in-laws gear, he's pretty much completely blind now, and can't use it. It's all vintage stuff, but he assures me it's pretty good. I'd like to be able to tell him I used it before he passes on. I just have to learn what I'm doing, so I don't mess it up.--->JMS

I'd love to go fishing this year, if I can find the time. We could have a RP Fishing trip!

I organized one a few years ago, and I'd be happy to try again. No political talk, though. I fish to escape that. :lol: --->JMS

I've been out on the little J about 5 times so far catching browns and even a few smallies on wooly buggers. Stocked trout are a blast. When else can you have 100+ fish days? I just got a new canoe, so I'm down for Raystown branch float trip/BBQ. Let's do it this summer!!!

I just go to my chiropractor's farm pond...it's huge, filled with bluegills and some nice largemouth (a 4 and 5 pounder I've caught there).
Best part...private property, and no license needed!!

Sweeeeeet. I love farm ponds, they warm up faster, and you can catch fish much earlier. Plus, if it's kinda remote, they don't get fed by people, so they're ALWAYS hungry. You toss practically anything in the water, and they EXPLODE on it. I love that shyte. I fished a pond near Carrolltown once, chockful of 4-pounders just aching to bite something... what a great day of fishing, I wish there had been a kid there to help catch fish, they'd have been hooked on fishing for life.---->JMS
