All I'm saying is that it would've made a sick hat....

Read through some old posts and browse some categories. We also welcome you to write any articles that you may feel important to be here on the site. Soon enough, the sharks will return and we'll be back to normal, whether new or not.

Freshwater Shore Fishing Reports / Re: Its about time
« on: May 01, 2024, 08:08:23 PM »BTW, it still looks a bit chilly up there.
Yep! Weather has been pretty touch and go, it snowed about a week ago for a day, it's been raining on and off and in the 30s-50s since. Looks like I'll get a week of 70s coming up here though!

Freshwater Shore Fishing Reports / Its about time
« on: April 29, 2024, 08:41:54 PM »
I finally got some time away from school and soccer, finished midterms last week, and got a long weekend for it. I got invited to a friend's lake house in Eden Prairie for the weekend and packed the couple of rods I had with me. I set my "non-fishing" buddies up with night crawlers and a split shot. The Bluegill bite was wide open. Determined to catch something to make the long drive worthwhile, I worked a 5in glide bait all over the banks and docks. I kept after this for 2 days without a bite, fishing through the rain, and finally, in the last hour, I stuck my first Northern Pike! Not the biggest but still pretty happy I can finally add this to the species list #102

Thanks! It's definitely going haha with all the damn lakes and rivers frozen, I'm contemplating taking up ice fishing if I can find the time. I'll be back in Cali for a bit in the second week of march. Hopefully, I'll see you on the sand!

Dang! I feel like I've been lacking on the stats for 2023 with all these sick breakdowns. I finally broke the 100 species mark on my life list in California, the more notable additions from 2023 (or at least the ones I remember) include salty stripers, a butterfly ray, blue shark, SoCal anadromous steelhead, and some proper native trout from the sierras. Ended up spending as much time catching snakes and reading about herpetology as I did fishing. It was a bit of a change of pace from previous years, but I'm happy to report that I've added 25 native species to my snake life list (out of about 40 native to CA) and 35 total between California, Montana, and Minnesota. It's well below freezing at school right now, so I've got plenty of motivation to get back and add some more this spring! I also fell short on the LBSF side of things, had some epic multi-fish thresher days on the kayak but the 7 gills are calling, it's been too long. I'd also like to finally get my legal WSB from the surf or yak, bastards been eluding me for far too long, 2023 was the year of endless shorts and almosts for me. I'm hoping 2024 will be more fruitful.

Any of those 1000 lakes close enough to your uni to fish?
There's more than a few! I'm also playing soccer for the school and the D3 commitment plus academics have kept me from taking advantage, I'm hoping I'll be able to make some time before it all freezes over.

We found them! Started early with lines in the water by 6:30am, ended up with 2 bats on the sand for Ventura County. The first one measuring 35" and the second being 34.5" both on casted squid. Super stoked we were able to put qualifying fish on the sand.

Works got me on 6 days a week and with my luck the 7th day is either overtime or foul weather so not much fishing the last month. Hoping to have something postable soon haha
