What did you use to get the antlers off of that fish/what kind of fish has antlers?

I dont see a crab.

Also FYI, if you boil a crab it's not fresh it's literally cooked (boiled)

I refuse to touch a fish...yuck

U obviously grew up in the midwest and don't understand crabbing culture/terninology.

Why don't u stick to things u actually know about like eating unmarbled raw meat.

Thanks.

I just bought a sweet new fishing cart. Not only for fishing, but also for just general beach use. I just test loaded it and it easily fit 2 large coolers, 3 beach chairs, an umbrella, sand spikes, 8 rod holders (a few of which will be used for the bait basket / cutting board and my sand flea rake), and my tackle box. Although not fully loaded with ice, beer, bait, fish, food, etc the thing weighs next to nothing. Stoked. I think I'm gonna head out to the surf early Saturday morning. Hopefully catch a nice sunrise and some dinner. At which point I'll update the "what are you eating" thread with some legit fish cooking.

Oh man, I can relate to the sand flea rake. I've done that before in Vero Beach with a guy that sold them. The 5 gallons buckets get heavy after a while.

Use to love it as a kid, it’s a great past time. I have done find memories fishing as a kid. It feels like it’s a relic of a hobby in these busy connected times.

I keep reading this thread title at a glance as "Any of you into fisting?"

This thread would be waaaay longer if that’s what it said...

We go fishing on Lake Michigan once every 1-2 years out of Leland, MI. In the past we used to catch mostly Salmon, but for the last 3-4 years it seems like its all Lake trout.



Here's what we caught on the last trip in September, 2 big trouts, 1 pathetic little Salmon, and 2 Cisco's which I've never seen before this year (wasn't a fan).

Didn't get the chance to go as much as I wanted too this past year. But I'm hoping to get out in the next few weeks.

So I took my shiny new beach cart out on its maiden voyage yesterday morning. Oh my God, that thing is an absolute dream. I had it loaded with so much gear, and there was practically zero resistance dragging it across the sand. I was a little apprehensive dropping $300 on a cart, but worth every penny.

I think surf fishing might be my new thing. Sit there, drink some beer, and take in the beautiful view. When the water warms up take some swimming breaks and fuck around in the waves. There were a few people swimming yesterday, probably Canadians or some shit. Way too cold for me right now, although I did wade in a few times to cast a little further. Gonna pick up a new surf rod and reel soon so I can have 3 out.

Caught a handful of whiting that were keeper size. Filleted them, seasoned with some Tony C's, and pan fried in some butter and lemon juice. Also got one pompano, but too small to keep. Beautiful fish though.

My new 12' surf rod and reel arrived today. And I am sad. Going to spool it up and stare at it sitting in the corner of my office until my spot is open again. Timing sucks, because the pompano run is starting soon, if it hasn't already.

The best kayak launch spots close to good fishing areas are also closed, so inshore salt is screwed as well.

Aw man! That's a bitch!

 

[nvanprooyen]

Found an open beach to surf fish this am, plenty of social distancing for those of you who may want to pile on. No one was within 100 feet of me.

Bite sucked, only a few small whiting, and a saltwater cat, but it was good to get out of the house.

I don't get out anywhere near as much as I'd like to these days. But I mostly bass fish with the occasional rockfish outing. There is a bridge here between MD and VA that underneath it has some decent shore rockfishing. Mostly though, our shores produce croakers(hard heads)
We do crab all the time though and Snakehead is very popular here. They go out at night and shine a lamp on the surface of the water and when the snakehead rise, they shoot it with a cross-bow. I have personally never been but I have watched them from my inlaws pier many times.
I would love to catch a tuna and a shark.
I used to go in the outer banks when we vacationed there. Those were some good outings.

Reviving this thread so I can stop talking about kayaking in the Trump thread. I almost got skunked today, minus a few small mangrove snapper and saltwater cats.

So I did what I said in the other thread, found an island in the mangroves, pulled up, drank some beer and casually fished. One of my buddies I hadn't seen in awhile showed up, so it was great just hanging out and catching up on the water.

@botfly10 , you said you loved that shit so here you go. There was a nice cut to the right of here that dropped off into deeper water. Tide was outgoing, so this bend should have held some decent fish, but I guess it just wasn't my day...
