Comment on Favorite types of fish to cook? by admin

Fish over poultry or meat any day! I eat fish about 2-3 times a week, mainly because some of my family members kinda dislike fish. Grilled or baked salmon, dory, or cod. yum! If all you’re fishing for is pan fish, you might want to add some jig heads and twister tails. A few slip bobbers might be nice for fishing in deeper water.

You might also want to get a small variety of Rapala type lures for the bass………some of the smaller ones. They come in many shapes and sizes. I’d get some for varying depths, and a couple of jointed ones as well.

Comment on Any Sacramento river anglers here? by Cali-Angler

if you got the time i’ve heard if you get up to Redding and fish right below the dam where the river begins. Lot’s of salmon and trout fishing. Now for stripers myfavorite spots to bank fish for striper was the deep water port at Stockton and where the American river joins the Sacramento. I’ve had great luck with live bullheads, ghost shrimp, sardines and tube worms, but my favorite bait is a live Sacramento pike about 7 to 12 inches long.

large-mouth bass tackle set up. Hit the local Wal-Mart for 7″ plastic worms (Power Worms) and good colors are Pumkinseed and greens reds or blacks all work good. I use Light line 4 to 6 lb test no weight just the worm. now to fish any more but if you try this plastic worm hook-up you will catch some fish also you will want to use a #1 bass hook they are bigger than the hooks you have now but don’t let the size throw you to hook up the worm stick the hook through the head of the worm and pull it down than twist it back around towards the worm sticking the barb in the bottom of the worm near the tail remember to use a slow retrieval and you will catch fish if you can not get the hook right ask someone to show you how to do a Texas hook-up

Now for a good Tackle box set up!

Your uncle is a lucky man because that cabin is on one of the best fishing lakes in the US. It is well noted for it’s population of almost all the different varieties of game fish. Bass, crappie, stripers.bream, catfish, bar fish, etc. It’s a must for you two to get on the water and go fishing.

If I can’t have my favorites mollusks I’d go with Salmon (prefer smoked in sushi!) or Tuna seared and blacked on outside but rare on inside or a plain ol’ cod or whitefish fillet like at Capt D’s or a fish n chip stand.I love seafood – especially clams, crab, scallops, and shrimp/prawns, all steamed. My favorite ocean fish are salmon, cod, and halibut. Freshwater fish in my area is limited to trout.

I am primarily a catfish angler and there are some monster flathead (yellow cats) and blue cats in that lake. Hook one of them and you’re in for a ride. Have fun & catch a mess. It’s known as one of the best Bass lakes in the country. Loads of Crappie, Catfish, Bluegill (and other sunfish species), Drum (freshwater), Grinnel (Bowfin), Gar, Carp…(most any freshwater species you expect to find in a Southern reservoir)…etc. This lake is very large, be prepared for East Texas weather, notorious for fast moving storms often accompanied by high winds, rough water, lightning, etc.

It’s just hard to believe your uncle is not sharing the information about the great fishing there…

Comment on Tennessee River Bow Fishing Carp by Jeff

I bet bow fishing is harder than u think its hard and fun. I often wondered about sea bow fishing?
Or how deep the arrow will go in the water before it becomes un-deadly?

He should just ditch the reel and go for a actual fishing arrow and cable so its easy to just pull them in by hand if they are truly trash fish. Got to give this guy credit and he is inspiring knowing he is doing everything with one hand when I can hardly do it with two.

It still will be hot here, so whatever you do be hydrated. You can visit Gatorland, the zoo, and maybe cypress gardens is great and it is cheap and you cant forget the lines are like 5-10 minuets!!! it has a water park as well that you can get into free with normal admission to the theme park it is in polk county, but you could stay in a hotel near buy the cypress lake, which is where the park is. check out their web site, gardens.com. you can probably go to a snorkeling shop and get a lesson, but the most important thing to do in Florida, is relax by the beach!
