Thread: Fishing season is upon us!

Y'know, I enjoy crab. But I've never much cared to catch 'em. No real sport in it I guess, too easy to catch.

I prefer synthetics to live bait or things like squid. And I'd rather hook a fish than a crab. They're delicious, but I view them as bait thieving nuisances. I'd rather hook a small throw-back fish than a crab. But those were all any of us caught. Well, better luck next time.

Come on out to Oregon, I'll introduce you to Crab that will hook you for life, it's all in the boil.

When I was a deckhand we use to drop a big Monkey fist of line with some herring wrapped in the center off the boat or pier, get our nightly clean up and next day prep done, pull up the line and BAM dinner.
Lived up in Washington on Whidbey Island and had a buddy that lived about 300 yds from one of the bays. During crab season...every night pulling our 5 crab limit. I love crab but it got to the point that I got tired of shelling. Did go about 3 weeks with crab in some form or fashion nightly.

I wish somebody would catch some fish and put the dang pictures in this thread.

Haha! Maybe this weekend if weather and such permit. I wasnt feeling up to it last weekend, but I'm getting the itch.

Fish stories are hard to pass off with pictures!

Not with a good photo app. ,,,,,

Here is one I caught in a small pond with a fly on a 12'9' Tenkara Rod two weeks ago. Released.
