yeah, those are Buffs, they're getting pretty popular here for sun protection. I don't care how much sun screen you use, the sun's reflection off the water kicks yer ass.

yeah, the sun off the water on a white boat during a cloudless day is brutal.

the Cobia are running up here...

I am going to kill this year spearfishing. No salmon in NorCal? No sweat. Time to nail some rockfish....

48-52F in the water and plenty of kelp. My mouth is just watering thinking about it right now.

Almost forgot about this thread.

Been out twice so far this year. Didn't get any ice over the winter.
My bud caught this Golden trout yesterday. About 5lbs. Really insane colors on it.
Got me a little LM. And a new ride to tow the boat. Lot more building to do on the 80 yet.

Michingan steel! My friend Brian with the first one of the day. We hooked about 8, landed 4, also caught about 10 suckers.

Yooper - Nice steel! Funny twist on your sig line too!

Yooper what is that glove thing on your left hand?... Just curious.

Junk · 05-07-08, 07:25 PM

Had my boy out only for about an hour tonight due to the pollen bothering his eyes so much. At 6 he's finally at the point where he's comfortable tossing 'em out there with the spinning setup, setting the hook and reeling them in all by himself. Only thing dad needs to do now is take pics, provide the snack, and keep him entertained when they're not biting.

All 3 were 1-1/2 to 2-1/2lb with the one in the pic coming in right at 2lb.

He had a cut on his hand and the glove was to keep the bandage on "Dad, I'm not going home yet, just give me a big band-aid"

That's not me, I was behind the camera.

It's a fish handling glove. It allows you to get a good grip without squeezing super hard and protects their slime layer, so you can more easily release them unharmed. The net in the picture is also designed to be very gentle to the fish. We carefully release all the steelhead we catch as they are wild and somewhat endangered up here.

yooper · 05-07-08, 08:46 PM

Junk those pics rock hard. Keep taking them, photos like that are golden later in life for both of you.

I hope to get the daughters out fishing some time soon...

I tried to hold it as close to the camera as possible.

We caught those little fish all day long. Nothing big but probably 100 or so small ones.

Ah i thought it might be something like that i've just never seen one that looked like that before. The ones i've seen are big and floppy and akward. Beautiful fish by the way.

I don't have any kids to take fishing so I did the next best thing. I took my dad fishing this last weekend.

We caught 4 others on Saturday about 3 Lbs each but I forgot to take a pic before I cleaned them. First pic is Sunday's catch and second pic is yesterday's catch. More than half of these were caught on rod and reel. We caught about 20 more that were too small to keep.

My dad will be 65 in a couple of months. We had a blast, and now I have a freezer full of catfish fillets.
