Lets talk fishing

In the local news, they said people are using drones to take their lines way out far from shore and protesters complain because the lines then break and tangle turtles flippers.

Just...why?
Fuckin fish like everyone else, or get a boat lol.
 
It wasn't terrible. I smoked it and ate it with crackers and cheese. Pike isn't bad. Smaller ones are better though.

And thanks! That was just a day where the bite was non-stop. Lucky day.

How do you cook/eat those guys and what do they taste similar to?

I'm allergic to fish, so I'm a catch and release guy. Johnny darters only get about 2.5 inches, there wouldn't be much to eat.
I do more watching of how small fish, like darters and minnows, act in small fingers off a river than fishing tbh.

This kind of observation definitely helps understanding of lure fishing.

Take that knowledge and tie on a fluke.

for future big catches always support the fish with two hands, never use their gill plate as I think theres literally like a 50% mortatilty rate when doing that. With Sturgeon, its even higher. If they are toothy a pair of plastic fish grips from rapala work best, those metal ones just fuck the mouths of the fish up and have very little surface area. Sometimes overhandling can break the jaw of a big fish and not allow it to feed after. Gotta keep the sportfish happy so they make more babies for ya to catch lol

Bet it took ya at least a solid 10-30 minutes to get that thing in, on light tackle I can imagine the insanity lol

Fluoro, braid, mono what’s everyone running?
I use braid for freshwater. 100lb braid with a top shot of 100lb mono for salt. I’ve never used fluorocarbon. Anyone use it?

tbh theres almost nothing besides tuna trolling on the west coast that requires that heavy line and big game and big shark fishing on the east coast

I caught my pb halibut at 30 inches on a zebco dock demon with the 4lb zebco mono that would break more often than not when cinching down your knot. Took 30 minutes to get it in and gaff it lol, this was shore fishing though. I think I got the 30 in dock demon too

But flouro is good for certain appclaitons, like running a leader to main line. I've used that for bass fioshing with like 12lb floro to 8 lb mono and floro is basically invisble in the water and it sinks. Sometimes when I'm fishing light tackle the mono doesn't work well with what I'm fishing so I have to carolina rig or run a fish finder rig to keep my bait/lure down where with floro you wont have that issue. Its also extremely abrasion resistant, like I had a hard time trying to cut through some like 4-6lb seagar floro because its some good shit and its floro. floro also has no give, same with braid, and mono allows you a lot of extra leeway fighting bigger fish because they can stretch the line, bend your rod, and fight your drag.

I've done the same thing trout fishing when I coudlnt afford to own more than two rods, I would literalyl run a 10 ft bigwater ugly stik, with 20 lb main line, run that to a swivel, and ran 4lb floro as my leader and caught limits all the time with that while everyone was looking at me like i'm a retard. Go figure, there were actually times the fish were in the middle of this pond size lake we fished and only I could acess them with a 4 oz weight and a rod big enough to catch moby dick.

Some fish dont care about floro as they dont sight fish, they use their senses like that lateral line and other things to detect prey.

Like the go to out here for catching sturgeon from shore , slot size is 20-30lb test. If you want to be able to fight something bigger than you gotta upsize, but I think the fight is the best part of fishing

All the majority of fishing I do is shark fish lol. Tx coast for life. Ty on the flouro info though.

It also is kind of wirey while being plastic if that also makes any sense. If I was youI'd be using 20% stronger floro as my leader, that is if you aren't already using wire for leader. Problem with floro is it burns itself as the knot cinches down so you ahve to lube it like palomar knot, but because of this a 100% strength knot like a palomor or some others will break at 70% of the lb test for that line, so you have to take that into account. But when used right sometimes it can make a huge difference, like 4lb mono vs 4lb floro, with trout, I noticed getting a lot mroe action when I was rocking floro for my leader but they are heavily depedent on sight in most enviorments. The guy your going for are like 50/50 i imagine lol

let me guess your rockking like 10/0 penn senator or something lol?

We had finished that one off before the photo.
Only one I kept that day, but ya be gentle when doing catch and release.
With catfish I let all above 5lbs go usually so they can be the super breeders. Plus the younger ones taste better.

It took about 20 min to get to close enough to net that pike. Fun ass fight. All the drift wood near shore added to the challenge.
