Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Surf Tractors (7/6)
« on: July 06, 2014, 02:32:37 PM »
Well, I was planning on taking the boat out, but needed to work on some content for the forum instead.  I'm going live this week and need to get things in order.

I met Josh in the morning, but already had a bunch of fish before he got there.  I went 2 for 2 on legal leopard sharks back to back and got hits on every cast for the next 5 hours.

The second Leo. (the first was almost a carbon copy)


The baits were getting torn up, but for some reason I couldn't stick them.


Then the run of shovelnose happened..  I caught 3 with 2 being monsters, but lost quite a bit more.  Here is the biggy of the day.


Not bad knowing I should have had over 10 fish, but getting 5 quality ones to stick was good enough. 
Time to prep the boat for an after work Tuesday trip with Sasquatch.

To be continued..

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / Go Big...or Go Home... (6/29)

I gave myself for a chance at a WSB....   Could it be???



Crap....  This repeated itself twice today.  The culprit.



Not a ghost...  but sort of related being a bat....

I went home without a ghost, but I did get my blood pumping on those two bats.  For a second there, I was fooled.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Firework Bycatch (7/4)
« on: July 05, 2014, 05:03:24 PM »
Steve and I headed out at O' dark thirty on the Fourth of July to beat the crowds.  I got to the beach at 4:15 and Steve was there soon after. 
We fished pretty hard when Steve looked to have a nice Leo on the line.  He grabbed the rod, but never got the hook really set into the fish's mouth.  About 2 hours later, I had a screamer!  It was most likely a bat ray from the way it was running, but I too couldn't get the hook set properly in it's mouth.  Damn it!

Finally Steve gets a decent hit, but there was not much fight to it. Funny how a really nice bass like this doesn't have much muscle when fighting our 40# long rods.  :D

Steve and the nice calico to salvage our trip.


The idiot beacons were strong today and we called it quits after having the typical showing of swimmers on our lines.

Happy Fourth everyone.

Classifieds / 10' Bass Hound
« on: June 25, 2014, 10:07:42 PM »
My buddy is selling his 10' Bass Hound. Includes FF, Trolling Motor & Battery. Has Live well, Running Lights and all equipment required for the boat. Asking $800 or best offer.

Message me and I'll give you Dave's number. Perfect boat for local lakes and bay. He is not tech savvy, so asked if I could get the word out for him.

Thanks.

I've "used" up my fair share of rods.  By the looks of some of your rods, you have too!

No kidding.  Now only if he could finish his blog for the website, I'll be really happy.

So that's where Willis and Josh were fishing!  lol.  I think he gave me some phony location via text, unless he was not fishing with you.

I would have been there, but it has been a crazy 24hrs.  It was fun seeing my buddy off last night though.  Too bad I took all of his money and didn't even feel bad about it.  ;D

I have Thursday off to watch Hannah and take her fishing.  She actually wants to go to the beach, so I might have to set up some rods for us somewhere.  I probably should fish the surf tonight since I do not have to get up early tomorrow.

Food & Recipe / Lobster and more Lobster
« on: June 24, 2014, 07:25:13 AM »
Well after getting some bugs on opening night, I decided to do something other than steaming them... well I guess I did with a little twist.

First things first... pull some fresh veggies from the garden.


The first thing I did was cut and de-vein the tails.
After a fresh rinse and pat dry, I brushed olive oil inside and out of the tails.  I spiced it up with Old Bay, Garlic, Salt and Pepper and added green onion and a lemon wedge.

I poured a little white wine in the bottom of pan to steam the lobster.


I covered with aluminum foil and put it in the smoker grill (no wood chips yet) under a medium heat for about 30 minutes.

Once the meat looked cooked, I uncovered the pan and threw wet applewood on the coals and let it smoke for about 10 minutes before pulling it off the grill.

just the right amount of SMOKE!  Yumm!


The next day I was ready for a lunch-time lobster roll.

I steamed a tail and cut it up into big chunks and added a little salt and pepper.
I made and mixed it with a white sauce and pico de gallo for a little change.
Cut a hard roll and put in aged swiss and fresh green lettuce and VOILA!  It was as awesome as it looks in the pic!  :lol:
 

Now I need some more lobster!  :P
