Here Fishy Fishy

Me thinks that's illegal.

On Topic: Ling are tied with Dorado as my favorite fish as the most enjoyable fish to both catch and eat.

The advantage Ling have is that big ones are just as delicious as meal-sized ones. Unlike so many other fish that loose quality with size including Dorado.

My pb Ling was over 50 lbs. Each filet was bigger than a brisket and the meat was milk white with the perfect sliceable texture. Sliced pieces looked like mozzarella cheese.

Fighting/landing that fish was a hoot. Setting the hook after free spooling out my bait was a moment I'll never forget. Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.

btw, i was chumming/scattering dice-sized squares of kingfish meat just before landing that one.

Me now thincks that was illegal. Originally Posted by GlobeSpotter

Its hard to beat fishing in general but to go fishing and catch fish with a sexy mamacita like Dorthy would be the ultimate ....... (hint,hint). Then after we catch our flounder we invite Yummie over for some fried flounder . One day ..... my dreams will come true.... Originally Posted by alto

I thought they were Poleish.

So a Texas slam isn't a hardhead, gafftop, and ladyfish.

Nothing like being able to fish on a Wednesday. Originally Posted by The2Dogs

Not much of a movie but I liked it because the setting, Banco Chinchorro, looked exactly like Playa del Carmen and Cozumel did the first time I went down there. 1963. Cancun did not exist. No airport or deep water harbor. I had never heard of the place until I got there; had set out hitchhiking from North Carolina and that's where the roads took me.

Anyways, the fishing with handlines was great, as was the spearfishing and you had to fend off the friggin' crocodiles to keep your catch. Exactly like in this movie.

Shit, now I sound like my old friend talking about shooting prairie chickens where Sharpstown is now. Alamar! Originally Posted by Don T. Lukbak

^^^Bow fishing is a blast!

Wait wait a minute , your gorgeous self worked on a tugboat ?? What the hell? I have worked out in the Gulf for over 25 years and never could be lucky to see someone like you on a tugboat or anywhere around me in the Gulf .
Oh I have a NET !!!! haha

Update.

Weather is good, with a slight wind.
16 trout--17" to 22"
11 flounder
5 Red's and 7 bull Red's on dead shrimp at the sunken ship.

Looking to be a good weekend. Originally Posted by australian_hell_yun

I like redfish but the problem is the best eating are the ones that fall under the slot.

I saw a photo in the paper or some place showing a bunch of red snapper and the caption called the redfish.....smh at the ignorance and lack of quality editors in the various media.

I Been Doing A lot Of Fishing Lately Since The Reds Are Running.. Who Likes To Fish & What Do You Like To Catch ? Where Are Some Of Your Favorite Spots ?

I tend to go at night but trying to find spots with lights are difficult.. The reds usually start biting around 7:30pm I've been catching myself staying till 1am because time seems to fly when. your catching fish after fish.. The other night I never thought croackers could ever get so big till I caught one about 11' long lol.. Originally Posted by Dorthy_Monroe

Just assume throw back a few lagers.
