I know that with the new format we are supposed to post pictures on “Show off you catch” topic, but a good forum friend of old time PondBossers has asked me to continue the Fishin’ 2012 thread :
“george is there a fishing 2012? I like looking at your fish growing”
I like to see his fish growing as well!
Any objections - if so moderators please delete.
George

Just for you Sunil - from the past .... grin

The 'Fishing 20__" threads are iconic, Hef!

But how could you start the thread without some pictures??!!

Sorry George, but no ice fishing pics this year at our ponds due to the awesomely warm weather. But last week we caught some amberjacks, tuna, and wahoo while fishing down in Venice:






The rest of the pics can be seen at Nate's Fishing Blog Offshore Fishing Report Venice, LA

Nate, have you eaten some of each yet? My fav is Wahoo, followed closely by fresh Bluefin.

Those Wahoo swim pretty quick, don't they? wink

We ate tuna for lunch today and it far exceeded my expectations! We ate amberjack for dinner and it met my expectations cause I eat amberjack somewhat frequently, but it just wasnt fair to the amberjack after eating the tuna first! its amazing at how fast the wahoo swim compared to any other fish!!

James, Venice is my new favorite place to fish! Pretty much any saltwater species you could ever want to target!!

George, I think flyfishing the rigs would be the funnest form of flyfishing on the planet by far!! Its amazing at how many fish there are by those rigs from the top of the water column all the way down to the bottom! Someone needs to invent a freshwater oil rig fish attractor simulator pond version.

Nate, PM before next trip - You can land a big fish on a 12wt fly rod quicker than a boat rod. The fish is fighing the rod - not the fisherman.
No bottom feeders on fly rods tho - just Wahoo - Kings - Dolphin....

You and James are making me jealous! grin

Kings were everywhere and were a nuisance, so were the sharks!
James, we were out about 20 miles from shore, but there are rigs much closer.

I have found that the best cure for seasickness is line jlaving(leaving) the reel. Yeah, I screwed up(fat fingered the keys) and Ken caught it.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

jlaving: (Scandhoovian/North American: yall ving.), re: "ya'll leaving." Translation of Scandanahoovian decedents living in Texas and Oklahoma, meaning, "it is leaving." Equates to the word "ralph" in most of US and Canada.

I spent much of my 20's and early 30's sailing the seven seas, and spending many of my younger years on inland lakes, like Lake Superior. Sometimes that term lent itself to stomach contents. Sometimes it referred to line on a reel.

If you are prone to this malady, definitely don't have any alcohol the night before. Don't have coffee or fruit juice with breakfast. Make your breakfast bland and absorbing. Have some oatmeal with just a little sugar, but with no milk or cream. Have several soda crackers, or several pieces of semi-burnt toast. Make sure you take your Dramamine.

Don't go inside or below decks. Keep your eyes on the horizon, not the deck rail or a spot on the deck. Don't lie down. Catch a fish.

If you do feel you have the blue-water flu, use the rail, and not the deck or the "head."

Tyhjentää,

Ken

I am so glad I don't get sea sick. From seeing many who have, it doesn't look like any kind of fun. My wife usually doesn't, but got it bad on a whale watching trip on our honey moon. 15+ foot seas and a boat that'll do 30+ mph through those seas was taking its toll on almost everyone on that boat though.

I've been sea sick before and it is miserable. I have it narrowed down to Inboard Diesel Engines and mid sized boats with cabins make me more susceptible to getting sick. also taking all the precautions Ken and Dave mentioned above!

Ventured out on likely the last ice of the year. While I was popping holes and my buddy was cleaning them up, I asked him to check the ice thickness which he stated was "around 3-4". Satisfied, I began setting up a few BG rods when I accidently dropped a waxie in the hole. I bent down to retrieve and thought I'd check the thickness for myself. My heart was in my throat when I measured no more than 1.75"! No where to go at that point, and it was clear first ice since our last thaw, so we stuck it out rather close to shore and sitting in our sleds. Suppose he knew there was no way I'd head out on the ice knowing how thin it was. Not smart, but glad we stayed as I stuck the two largest SMB to date. 16" and 15.25" Mamas - one on teardrop/waxie and the other on minnow rig meant for YP and HC.

Certainly not this year. Typically we'll see 6-9" for at least 3-4 weeks in NE, although the past 4-5 years we've seen up over 20" and ice around for 8-10 weeks. Been a very warm Winter, just like the rest of the country.

Beautiful Smallie TJ! You're dressed like it was cold out or something!

n8ly, yes diesel fumes get nasty, especially if the injectors have a lot of hours on them and it's running a bit rich. I got to learn to dislike boats that drifted stern first and got to know the fleet in San Diego well enough to know what boats to stay off of.

Also, if getting sick on the boat, try and remember what side is the downwind side. Bouncy seas, diesel fumes and fishing at night is about the worst combination that I can think of, especially when I haven't been out on a boat all year. I'd take an anti-seasickness pill or wear a patch for the first day or two and I'd be fine the rest of the year as long as I went out at least once a month.

The crew wasn't happy with a buddy from Oklahoma. He came out to visit and we went on a 2 day trip. He got seasick, and used the sink in the cabin for a depository. Not good!!
