Any fisherman or fisherwoman here?

Besides video games, whiskey and beer, fishing is one of my favorite things to do. Anybody else love to fish or have any good fishing stories? It's ok if you add a foot to the size of the one you caught.

I can't say I have ever been! Xx

You should try it out. It is relaxing, fun and exciting all at the same time.

I don't have the patience, looks stunning though Xx

Not a huge fisher, but I have been a time or two. I used to fish on the open ocean down in Florida with my dad, brother and family friends and it was great. I caught the biggest one (usually a snapper) a couple of times. Haven't been fishing in a couple of years now, though.

There we go! Thats what I was looking for! Nice catch bro! I would love to catch something like that round here.
I mainly catch bass and sometimes a good size catfish.

we dont get bass here , there are catfish tho never fished for them though
we get sea bass but im not much into sea fishing
you do get pike in north america , you guys call them northern pike or muskys i think , maybe there is somewhere near you you might catch one
i wish i could get out fishing more but work and kids dictate otherwise lol

yea we got alot of muskies around here and i need to see what kinda bait to get for them. they have teeth don't they?

yeh they have a good set of razor sharp teeth .
you need to use wire trace on on your leeder as they will bite through mono and braid like a hot knife through butter . also a set of pliers for unhooking .

bait wise , you have endless options , they will take a huge variety of lures . i use rapalas and savage gear soft 4play lures , 19cm is a good size .

and you can also dead bait using makrel , trout , any small ish fish , live baiting is banned in scotland but im sure it will be ok where yoou are and again any small fish you can catch in the same water way as the pike live will make a exellent live bait and you can fish it under a appropriate sized float or free line it . hope thats some help to you mate

My Hubby is a MAD Keen Fisherman......... he could (and does) talk about fishing and boats for A G E S We always have a good supply of fish in the freezer.

Can't say i have tried

Me, my husband Tony, Jethro our staffy and a pal Peter who is an absolutely mad keen fisherman went for a week to Esperance, Western Australia. Peter dragged us along fishing everyday, and caught quite a few salmon in the process. The second photo is Tony.

Wow, I want a holiday! x

Beautiful photos Vanessa!!! Thanks for sharing. I bet that was alot of fun. For your husband at least.

I don't but my son has started fishing this year and this is what he taken photo's off so far..............
6lb common small fish but lovely common

7lb common

9lb 14oz Mirror

Mike ....Esperance has some of the best beaches in Australia.. I love walking along them , but the actual fishing doesn't do a thing for me. But yeah Tony enjoyed it though !!

Nice! Already quite the angler he is, Anne!

He's learning alot of his friend who's been fishing for over a year now and his best catch is 19lbs something. Actually he is just getting ready to go night fishing with his friend and he's gone.......................

He's doing better than me. lol My biggest so far this year is 10 pounds.

He loves doing it, plus i like him doing as it keeps him off the streets and out of trouble. Usually 4 of them go but Ryan and his friend Ben who caught the 19lbs take fishing seriously and get annoyed at the others as they tend to mess around like boys do, the age we're talking about is 13 to 15 ( my son is 14)

Yes, fishing is serious business.

I used to love night fishing beers in a nice warm night you cant beat it.

night fishing in scotland consists of a few beers and a savage attack from the midges

the amonth of bites we got from the river trent is a joke but we did find a really good spot once we got plenty of fish and only got bite once or twice but we end up getting in trouble

midges = mosquitos? yea, theyre bad here too. some people die from them.

they not killers over here but they can leave big lumps on your arms you have to see my mate they come up like tennis balls when i get bit they only like spots

My oh used to fish in one of the royal parks (can't remember which one) and caught a whopping great pike, the biggest ever at that time.

I went fishing a couple of times, but I found it incredibly boring. I ended up knocking back cans of cider & tripping my then boyfriend up (by accident) and he fell in! He didn't seem to think it was as funny as I found it!

it can be broing but when you pulling fish out all night is pretty good.. you had to see our keep bag in the morning bailiff was well shock

in 1 night the amount of fish we got was shocking here, we had a number of river carp, about 50 odd breams we lost count of ells

bream


river carp


nasty eels (the ones around here are about a foot long )

Cool. Haven't seen eels around here. Do you eat those?

Sounds like some of the rivers here. I think some have sewage or did have sewage run off in them.
