Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / Re: Spring is Springing 4/21

Very cool indeed Jeremy, I really want to take our boat out.  Only problem is they'd need a crane to get me out of it, this knee thing sucks

I've said it before and I'll say it again, wish we had more fishing opportunities around my neck of the woods.

99% sure I spy it, without being able to find any replica photos online. It does fit perfectly there. RIP Ed.

I might have to try that (or see if I can inspire Alicia to try making it). That looks really good.

Also... That looks like a fish rising to take the bait... or possibly your lure...

BTW, if you find the Sea Pens, you'll find the halibut.  That was the greatest mystery I had for about 15 years or more.

Food & Recipe / Rockfish Cakes with a crab Topper

« Last post by Latimeria on April 21, 2024, 05:09:46 PM »

I needed to do something different with the Vermillion Rockfish on this cook, so made some mock crab cakes.    I topped it off with a pillow of real crab and got the thumbs up from the wifey!

The old wood worker that lived across the street passed not so long ago.  That was one old dude I loved talking to in the neighborhood since he was always tinkering with some type of wood projects while I was tinkering with my fishing ones.

The family gave me his old level from the early 1900's since they were wondering what to do with some of the stuff he had from the past 95 years.  My wife didn't like any of my suggestions, but I found a spot that almost look made for it.  Here's the "Where's Waldo" picture.

My wife literally couldn't find it and told me I was just teasing her.  Nope...

Totally thought he was gone.  It's a 5+ inch Bushynose Placo so by far the biggest fish in the tank.



I literally bought a Chinese Algae Eater to fill in the gap by the missing placo and boom...  Literally came out of hiding when he saw someone else eating his algae covered rocks...



Glad he's still alive and still in the tank.  I was ready to blame one of the 5 cats we have that don't mind getting wet.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Silver Hunt (4/21)

« Last post by Latimeria on April 21, 2024, 04:57:05 PM »

I was back and forth about getting the boat out but opted to just do some topwater fishing looking for some Corvina.



I kept hearing bells in the distance and pulled out the binos.  Antennae guy was catching what looked to be cartilaginous fish, but even with the good binos, I couldn't tell.



I moved to 3 separate locations and had two absolute blow ups on the spook, but the dummy totally missed.  I finally had one slurp at the plug, but it also missed. 

The bay was crowding up, so I switched to the swimbaits. 



I only managed 4 small bass and had to switch to a bigger weedless head when the wind kicked up.  That weed guard did its trick and kept me from burying the hook.  lol

Anyway, a quick fun run to the bay and back by 11:00 to get some yard work done.

Thanks for reading.
