#339179 2017 Florida March Break

Posted by MuskieBait on 22 March 2017 - 01:38 PM

Atlantic Spadefish (Chaetodipterus faber) - not a new lifer, but always cool to catch. We helped George to finally knock this lifer off the list!

Leopard Searobin (Prionotus scitulus) - Species #714

Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) - Species #715!!!

IMG_1433_post.jpg

Over two days of fishing, with a total of 16 hours fished and over 12km hiked, I lost three bigger Blacktips to the rocky reefs before finally landing this little 3 feet adolescent. Our flight was at 7:30am the next morning and this was literally the second last bait we can soak for these sharks on our very last evening in Florida.

Little guy got bitten by a larger shark in the recent past. I flip some of my pictures (ie, first photo above)...so the left side was the bitten side.

#338070 Ice Auger Rodeo

Posted by the11fisherman on 26 December 2016 - 10:08 AM

If they were to start a competition where you ad to try to stay on an ice auger, how many of you would enter if there were a decent about of prize money?

This video just about made me cry laughing.

#336709 Trolling!!

Posted by Stanley18dc on 29 September 2016 - 07:56 PM

Try trolling smaller lip lures, shad rap etc through weeds in 6 to 8 ft of water. If rod bends rip it trough the weeds and clear any weeds or enjoy fighting a fish. Works for walleye at dusk (witching hour).

#335576 Any one finance a boat from a private sale

Posted by Hucho Hucho on 25 August 2016 - 08:03 AM

Yes do not buy if you can not afford it. Don't forget you have to insure boa,t store it, winterize it, and maintenance is not cheap. Boat owner celebrates twice.

first time when they buy it and second time when they sell it. :)

#334624 What fish do you usually keep to cook?

Posted by fishfreek on 30 July 2016 - 05:32 PM

I love walleye, especially when your kids are getting them instead of you. They always taste better.a1d836c96c45fb032ae932f74cc36840.jpg

#334505 Muskie or pike?

Posted by MuskieBait on 21 July 2016 - 05:48 PM

Musky, and hope you didn't keep it


In certain zones, that is considered a keeper Musky. It looks better than 40" and should be over most of the size limits for Musky.

But your sentiment is well taken. If you are uncertain of the species, the right course of action is to release the fish.

#334587 Microfishing IDs

Posted by DSmith on 29 July 2016 - 12:50 AM

Had a fun day of micro fishing in a local southern ontario creek.  Caught about 10 different species using really tiny hooks.  Caught the smallest fish I ever have caught. I realize some of these pics might not be good enough to ID.

 

Here's the album of some of them:  http://imgur.com/a/VQbQ1

 

I am hoping some of you can help me with IDs.

 

Lets start with the ones I am sure about:

 

1. Longnose Dace

 

2.LogPerch

 

3.River Chub (90% confidence on this one)

 

 

4.the next two pics I am not sure what it is.  As it turns out a lot of tiny fish really look alike!   The photo tank is 4 inches long.

 

5. the next two pics I am guessing it is a very tiny spotfin shiner due to the very faint spot on its dorsal fin.

 

6.A tiny female creek chub(?)  I thought maybe a blacknose dace when I was one site, but now looking at the pics, the mouth doesn't look right.  This is definitely the tiniest fish I have ever caught.

 

 

Any insights would be appreciated!

 

thanks

#334469 Lackluster Lure Luck

Posted by Bassman45 on 19 July 2016 - 03:41 PM

Yup, just picked a bunch up at dollarama and broke down to purchase decent Mepps spinners :).  A lot of liquidation places selling fishing stuff too will have a look this week.  Going to Pinehurst camping this weekend, LG mouth in that lake I've read!
