“I’ve fished all types, trout and bass especially. Caught a couple of catfish of some size as well. I joined a group here on the west coast of lady anglers for a time. They were mostly sea fishers, and although I love to fish the sea, volume isn’t the only draw for me as it was for them. Also love to crab a bit and we’re preparing for a turkey hunt pretty soon.”
Hey freeper friends, Hi Heels sound like one of us!!!!
HH, ya’ll have some BIG bass in the reservoirs out your way. In fact, a few years ago a guy caught, and fileted (I believe) what could have been a new world record (I remember reading something about that). Those Florida strain bass they’ve stocked in reservoirs in California are producing monsters!!!
And you are blessed with some awesome trout fisheries too.
Which species of turkeys will you hunt? There are four in the U.S. I have shot at two eastern WTs but not hit one yet (Shhh, don’t reveal to any criminals my horrible shooting skills LOL). I have several friends who have the Grand Slam, harvested all four species, one who has done it several times.
If you are interested, some of us outdoor freepers will ping you on natural resource, hunting, fishing threads.
I live on a big lake here in Tennessee. All these absent homeowners from up north come here on holiday weekends, and you there’s NO WAY I’d fish this lake on these weekends.
Just cooked a brisket and am going to go outside now and kick back. Good to hear from you HH.
ROFL!!!!!!!!
That's what hubby cooked today! He did some cross between Texas and North (or was it South) Carolina BBQ with it.
Whatever he did with it, it is OUTSTANDING!
Nice to meet you, HH! Any friend of GA’s is a friend of mine. :)
I love to fish, too, but don’t have as much time for it these days. Back in the day, we spent a lot of time on the lakes catching Crappie, Walleye, Pumpkin Seed and Yellow Perch when my boys were younger. I never have caught anything really big aside from a Small Mouth Bass which was within 1/4” of being legal. Dang! That shore was a perty fish, LOL!
Husband has two charters scheduled for this summer for himself and his clients on Lake Michigan. They always have a blast, and the industry REALLY needs the bookings these days.
He’s been fishing in Mexico (off of Puerto Vallarta) and that was awesome. He brought back the catch and took it to a local restaurant that would cook up your catch for the day. Never had a tastier dinner in all of my life. :) (Mahi Mahi)
We were up on the central coast and driving by the Hearst Castle of all things when we spotted several Rio Grande Turkeys sitting in the middle of the field. It was all I could do to keep my better half on the road.
I’d love to be pinged to fishing/hunting threads. Count me in and add cowboy_code as well. Happy Independence Day!
