Fisherman?

anyone in here do much fishing?
Tomorrow day is opening day for the majority of creeks / lakes around here in California.
I can't wait!

i love to fish the Illinois river is 1 minute away from my house i may not be the best at it but fishing is relaxing

Can we call you "John the Fisherman"?

I fish literally every day that permits during the summer. I've had my license for two weeks and have yet to take one cast, though. Since I typically work nights a majority of my fishing is done after dark.

my dad is a huge bass fisherman he does some of the local tournaments and such. I dont like sitting there waiting, i would rather take one of the boats water skiing lol

I do some fishing here and there.

Love it. Everyone should get that feeling of reeling in a 5 lb bass.

flyfishing, trout, salmon, deep sea...you name it I have the gear and do it...

I usually take my 10' livingston or float tube out and hit the lakes flyfishing..

last year caught 37 fish in 3 hours a week after the opener

good luck and keep the line tight Johnny

Hells yeah! Just bought my **** for this summer last weekend. I'm all about some fishing...

Too busy...and I know why...Muahahahahahaha.

I found this park here in Tulsa right on the River. Cliffs, rock climbing, bouldering rapelling and tons of great spots for fishing and campfires, best part is it's only 10 minutes from my apartment.

Cool summer story, pickerel lake MN gotta cabin on it and had 2 5-6 pound bass living in a nest right off the end of my dock. With friends help grabbed a net and some goggles and herded one inside the shallows (prolly 2 ft deep) under my dock and slid the net under the sand.. brought the net up right from under the bass and of course!!! the bass was too long for the width of the 1 hand net!! tail hit one end and head hit the other. bounced so hard it went out of the water a bit and swam away didnt get close to it since....

you need to get your butt down here and I'll take you creek fishing.
You have ultralight tackle? (4-6 lb line, and ultralight rod and reel?)

I went fishing saturday on Paradise lake and got skunked, and almost didn't make it back to the trailer (lake only allows electric trolling motors, and there was a ton of wind, battery was just about dead by the time we put it on the shore to go get the truck... it was a close one!

Nice, the largest Bass I've ever caught was a 3 pounder, that was a big honker of a fish. I figured it weighed about 10 pounds while I was fighting it. Reeling it in from about 30 feet, fighting back and forth it kept jumping out of the water like a dolphin having a seizure I loved that day.

where I fish you don't really need waders.
however if you ever get down this way definitely look into deer creek (elam campground off of hwy 32) or if you're really into fly fishing hat creek is amazing!

Shoreline fishing here in HI is great. Except that it's slowly starting to get "over fished" if you know what I mean... But I guess it doesn't matter once you dunk your line and grab an ice cold beer.

Dont have to go into school til noon this week so i went fishing at the lake today before hand lol
