So how many of you are into fishing? What do you fish for and how often do you go? Any tips for how to get the monster of your choice, lures, bait, flies? Feel free to throw in a fishing story or two as well.

What was your best or worst experience while out fishing?

Figures you'd drop the fishing argument by pointing out grammatical mistakes. Typical for a wannabe.

I like the stories that start with "You're not going to believe this " or " Let me tell ya about the one that got away ".

I like to fish for Crappie, Largemouth Bass, DAMN, I just like to fish, period.

I love to fish, don't go as often as I'd like. Not a big game fisherman like Bwana but this pic is what started my fishing fever, I'm maybe 4 when it was taken.

Last October the mrs and I spent a week in Cabo. She and I rented a 31 foot bertram with "Got Caught" fishing charters. I caught 40 lb
mahi mahi/dorado. It took dam near 15 minutes to real it into the boat. I was completely shot by the time it got to the boat. We only saw one blue marlin dammit and we could not get it to bite any of our live bait. We caught some of those yellow finned tuna also. The next night we went down to the marina area and looked at the flags up on the back of the boat, the same boat we were on caught three blue marlin the day after we were on it

..... It was very very enjoyable trip. I'm trying to talk my wife into going again. We stayed at the Fiesta Americana resort. It was a first class place just several miles east of Cabo. Did you go to Cabo Wabo? We had GREAT FOOD at that place of Sammy's. We just missed his annual b-day party by two nights. Next time we go I will make sure we're there for Sammy's b-day. They say its a BLAST.

You can eat some great food at Cabo in all the nice rest.

I can't beleave this thread was started today.
I just got back to my office. A buddy of mine and I
just picked up some new gear at the local Walmart
for going to Canada in June. We took a very long extended noon hour and got our rigs ready to go.

We're going to Canada using "Excellent Adventures"
out of Ear Falls, Ontario. That outfitter really has its shit togeather.
Two years ago we had lots of good luck using the old tried and true
Blakemore roadrunner with northern underbelly. Little Joe Spinners worked well too with Northern underbelly.

I really like to catch crappie. Heck, nothing wrong with
big Blue Gills either. Catch a mess of them and fryem up.

If I catch a bass its just out of pure luck

C.H. If you don't mind, hook me up with the guys web page if he has one. I have wanted to go to Canada for years piking and am thinking about doing it this summer. Finding a good guide or captain makes or breaks the trip.

I went to Canada several years ago and had a great trip. Caught walleye and northern all day long. Reeled in several big ones too. I went to Anderson's Lodge at Siox lookout, On. Spent most of my time on Lac Seul.
You might try them. Lodge was ok, food was good, guide was good and the fishing was great.

To be honest, if I'm out fishing with my brother and friends, I could give two shits about the lodge as long as the fishing is good and the guide isn't a stiff. I did a king salmon trip in Alaska 3 years ago and the guide was a tool. The guy even had a bunch of Bronco crap hanging all over his office. On the trip, he didn't deliver what he had said and I wouldn't give him all his money. It about came down to a scrap, but he backed down and we drove to Homer and salyed the Halibut.

Bass, catfish and saltwater fishing is fun but there is nothing like fooling a trout into taking a fly then reeling him in on a fly rod.

Yeah, but you have to admit Captain Tom was gem and had a pair.

Hell he would stay out there when the seas got nasty so we could catch one more hawg while every other swing'n dick captain's were headed back to shore.
