It’s super cool to me see other fishers from around the world and the different species we all target . That bigger fish I landed was actually a Flathead . I was targeting the smaller species you can see called yellowfin whiting and he smashed the small hook . I virtually walked him into the shallows without raising him out of the water then rode him in on a shore break wave onto the sand so the hook didn’t pull out . I’d love to try freshwater some day . All I’ve done is saltwater fish and fresh is a whole new worldGreat thread! I've been thinking about starting this one, so I'm very glad you did.
That looks like a great trip. The big one looks cod-ish, but the others are unfamiliar to me. They sure look tasty though.

Years back, I asked my father when he started taking me fishing. He looked at me like I was an idiot, like it was the most obvious, unnecessary question ever asked. "When you could walk" was his reply.
I don't remember a time in my life when I wasn't a fishing fool. Lakes, rivers, small creeks, anywhere that might have a chance of holding fish will grab my attention. I love ice fishing just as much as soft water fishing. While I'm always trying to up my personal bests, I can happily catch and release pan-fish all day long.
In my province, there is not a lot of water compared to either of our neighbors in BC or Saskatchewan, and we have a proportionally large ratio of people to water, so there are not a lot of harvest opportunities unless you get away from the large centers. One of the main influencing factors in my upcoming move is better access to fishing opportunities.
Looking forward to seeing where this thread goes.![]()
The little guys are dumb and aggressive, so much fun. Pike fishing from a belly boat is a blast. I recall one time letting out about 20 inches of line and just rotating in place with my rod extended and a spoon in the water. I had 3 small jack taking runs at it before nailing one.I wanna go catch some pike! Such dummies hehe!
Belly boat ?. No disrespect ........ oh ok maybe a bit but that looks hilarious . Can you mount a 5 horsepower to the back ?The little guys are dumb and aggressive, so much fun.

Once they get bigger than about 10 pounds though, pike start getting pretty smart. They are so strong and fast, too. I keep waiting to hook into a hawg from the belly boat so I can go water skiing.![]()
