So, with that much experience at baiting I declare you a master.

I had the opportunity to be part of a group that caught and released a 150lb tarpon.

First test run of my boat, decided to drop a line.
Caught three bull reds.

My first keeper trout was 27" and a hair under 7lbs.

I like surf fishing except for the sharks. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

Surely getting stuck twice is not in the cards haha
If you kayak fish you can get good fish at house canals all over gtown. Nice and quiet at night fishing the green and flood lights. Easy limits most of the time and avoid hardheads using lures for that kind of fishing. Have been doing it twice a week for the last 4 yrs and it's a blast!

My personal record for patients is near 2 hours to land a ling that swallowed a fish just hooked. Biggest problem was onlookers who came over to provide moral support and a convenient place for Mr Fish to break off.

I have a house on Tiki, there nowhere for the public to launch on the island. We get a lot of kayakers fishing around our lights at night.

A lot of Red's and Sand trout. Just wish people wouldn't tie up to our docks.
