While cleaning up dinner and putting dishes in the dishwasher, this metal ball with MEGA printed on both sides fell onto the floor with a ping noise. I have no idea where it could have come from or what it is!
Hello, looking for recommendations for a nice starter set up for a rod and reel that’s good for budget and is decent for shore and a little off shore stuff, medium weight. Lmk.
I caught this humongous stingray off the beach in Galveston with a little help and a large crowd.
Here’s a few from this weekend. Bite was pretty slow on Friday but Saturday was fun. Tried to land a couple sharks in the river but my leader let go each attempt. Indian River on the treasure coast. All inshore.
19” 2.5lb flounder, tons of speckled trout, pompano and spots
So earlier today I bought a shimano spheras SW10000 reel, and after unpacking it I found out that it's making a quiet but strange sound when spinning, it sounds like quiet knocks and clicks, and I don't know if this is okay or not, can anyone help me?
I’ve been trying to lure fish in the bay but I’m stuck on retrievals and how to work the bait. Right now I’m using jerk-baits and paddle tails with around a 3/4 oz. I caught a halibut with a 110 flash minnow but I’m still stuck on the technique. Any tips and recommendations for lures fishing inshore and also any recommendations for surf?
Trying to find summer reds and cetch my first keeper. Is deeper water better?
I want to maximize casting distance, so I would probably fill the reel more than i usually would. Is it too much or okay?
Generally I can't say anything without being flamed so I'm just gonna say blue fish from Dr suess book. I mean it's a fish
We went jigging for blackfins in key largo. Couldn’t find any and they seemed to be replaced by LARGE Bonita. However, big mutton’s were smashing the jigs off the bottom.
I live in the mid atlantic where the sun is made at us right now. Im not sure if im going fishing this weekend, but it made me wonder about fish habits in this heat, 4 or 5 days of 100+ degrees. How have you changed up technique when the weather is like this? Obviously drink water and find shade is possible, but im wondering about how you try to catch fish any different than usual if water temps start to rise.
We were 80 miles off Montauk, it’s 2AM… and some dude calls over the radio asking for a starlink equipped boat. Said he was having engine troubles.
There were probably 20+ boats out there, thankfully, not that anyone else responded though….
We responded. Got his numbers, we were about a mile away.
Anyway, the guy ran his new-to-him boat dry of diesel before switching tanks. Now, if anyone knows diesels, this is a big no no. You now need to have fuel on hand to fill the filter, etc, and probably have air in the line that needs to be purged in the process of priming the fuel system.
The owner/captain of the boat I was on is a very handy guy. He jumped on there, we stayed close so the starlink would work, and he used the web to find the purge screw, followed the process, and saved both boats a lot of time and hassle of a tow to 20 miles off, by getting her up and running.
I hate posts that end with a question as they sound like a commercial, but why the fuck doesn’t everyone have starlink?
In a sport where we’re often running $1M boats, what’s $250/mo?! An hour of fuel burn…?
Get starlink, get a friggen Garmin Inreach, have something to phone home with..
Thankfully it was a calm evening, but if it wasn’t, and we weren’t close by, they were drifting off into 3000+ ft of water in the shipping lanes.
Caught this Calico off Catalina yesterday. I’m new to fishing and he’s the biggest I’ve landed so I wanted to give him a measure. What’s the proper way to measure fish length? Thanks guys.
I'm just asking
