Naturalhoosier Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Went fishing with the FIL today. No keepers but amongst the two of us at least a dozen short fluke and even more sea robins (bastages). A skate as well. Sucks there were no keepers but the action was fun. mamasa, HoosierAloha and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote
Popular Post Old Friend Posted July 28, 2021 Popular Post Posted July 28, 2021 Took my just graduated oldest son (headed to Ball State to play baseball) to Key West over the past weekend. Fished 2 days. First day, drop fishing over a reef and backwater for tarpon. ~ 50 mangrove and yellow tail snapper; most a couple of pounds. Kept 16 and ate them 3 hours later. Blackened and incredible. Struck out on tarpon (my dream fish, which I learned are really just giant carp....I was crushed. Not this mystery monster I'd hoped for) but saw a bunch; which was cool. Finicky f*ckers. Next day, deep water trolling and caught 6 mahi. 5 keepers (20-24", 7-8 pounds) and even MORE delicious. Highly recommend it.

Josh Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 I just landed a ten pound bass. No pic so use my integrity lol I was using 6 pound line where a beast was swirling. Dude hit it hard and snapped it instantly. I grabbed a pole with 8 pound line (my heaviest line) and threw back when wham! Dude hit again. I fought him, and as I lifted him up over my seawall the line popped. That means 10 pounds, right?? Midnight fishing is hot in my backyard Naturalhoosier, Rico and ALASKA HOOSIER 3 Quote

Rico Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Nothing like drinking while fishing... HoosierAloha, Naturalhoosier, ALASKA HOOSIER and 2 others 4 1 Quote
Dave from Dayton Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Do you drink when you fish or fish when you drink? Lots of lake weed messing with fishing near banks at Indian Lake OH. Zebra mussels have removed the algae but resulted in weed problems. Oh well...lots of bluegill, some big catfish, some Kolsh, and some Old Tub bourbon... Others get saugeyes and bass. 115 Hp moves the 20' pontoon boat enough to pull skiers...believe it or not. Not good for beginners, though. Wife skis slalom as does daughter. But weeds on this shallow 5000 acre lake are a drag...literally. Better than algae imho...as an environmental engineer...They will have 2 weed cutters next year...and say there is a way to knock down some of the weeds that the OEPA and ODNR will approve.
