I hooked another 20lb Asian Carp on my ultra lite a few days ago. Good fun fight. Took me a while to get it in with the 8lb line.
No pics this time, it was right before work so I didn't even pull his smelly ass out of the water. |

You're in Pensacola, no shit?
That's the EXACT town I've chose to move to long ago based on size (50k or so, right?) and other factors... down on the panhandle where the oceans just as beautiful, the beach culture just as prevalent... and the prices much cheaper. |

Some kids a way down from me a while ago were hitting them with bow fishing rigs from a bridge a while back, it was really impressive... those shit fish are HUGE, its a real shame they aren't worth eating. Lotta meat on a fish that size. |

I have wanted to fish off the coast for years. I would love to live in Florida. Not sure why I haven't done it yet. |

I think I might head out in the am and hit the Kansas river to see if I can get one last big one. |

Finalizing an ice fishing trip with the fella's for early Feb up in the Kawarthas (2 hours North/East of Toronto). Haven't fished the ice since I was quite young. Any advice out there? I was at Bass Pro today but didn't have time to pick the brains of the staff so I just grabbed a couple lures - vertical jig and a sinker.
Cheers. |

So I've started working with a fluke, and we just hit prime for Bass in SoFlo.
Wore them them F out this morning. Feels like I caught one every 2nd cast with a couple of 3 lbers. I'm using a lighter set up than usual so the fights are intense. My retrieval skill with a fish on the line is night and day form last year, when i would still get excited and just drag the fish in. I think i could get a larger bass in on 6lb test. The lunker Bass is the last fresh water fish this guy has left to tackle, and I will tell you as a man with shit load of experience, he is one hell of a hunt. Hard, hard fish to catch. Very smart to be a stupid ass fish. I have a good feeling he's coming in soon. I'll of course post pics. |

Going on a winter Texoma striper trip next week. Chance of rain last I looked but low wind and decent temperatures. We're going for two days with a mix of striper and blue cats.

I've caught more fish 10 min into a light rain than at any other time. Not bad right after either. |

20% chance for the Friday and a 60% chance for the Saturday. I don't mind a light rain. I'm more concerned with the 10-20mph projected winds.

What did the five fingers say to the face? They say: "from east bite least, from west bite best" I saw high wind, pack it in. maybe the winds will only kick when the rain is falling hard. good luck, bro. |

I mostly fly fish for trout in very clear water. Yeah, rainy days are usually the best. A slight wind doesn't hurt either, although it makes casting very difficult. The wind/rain surface disturbance does a good job of making the fisherman less visible.

Hides the flaws in your lures as well.
