The fishing thread ( not about fish fertilizer)

[Jjgrow420]

I fished them a couple times in west palm. We used shrimp and small jigs. I cant fly fish worth a shit but they’re spooky
Worded poorly: i caught a couple, we weren’t targeting anything specificly. A guy from ma doesn’t care what he catches. Always blown away by the variety of fish down south

On my bucket list for sure.
One day

Planning on heading to Bermuda in Feb. or early May and hopefully will do some flats fishing and surf but only taking light spinning stuff. Any thoughts on what’s best for bones and hogfish (hear their tasty). I’ve fished there before but only for a hour or so, caught some little stuff but hoping to catch a few meals this time lol. I’m retired now so I’ll be going quite often and may even buy a small boat there.

If you're not fly fishing for bones I'd try live shrimp, or a light jig tipped w/ fresh shrimp tail. As for Hogs they like pretty much the same including sand flea's & very small crabs. BTW they are a bitch to get to bite, that's why people spear them.

Not from there not have I fished it but don't they fly fish for bonefish there?

Yes they do fly fish but also spinning. I’m ok with fly fishing but way better with regular stuff lol. I’ve got a crapload of lures and jigs but nothing geared for saltwater. Just ordered some gulp crabs, shrimp, and sand fleas, hope that covers it! I’ll post pics of trip when I get back.

Cant go wrong with that selection imo

I’m limited for stuff to take but will take fly gear next time and leave everything I take there. Daughter lives there so I plan on spending lots of time there …. Hopefully lol.

I’ve got that covered except for the jig heads as I read slider heads are the way to go but they are pricey little things. I’m also going to tie up a few jigs before I go but not expecting anything spectacular this time just scouting lol.

 

[buckaclark]

When you really want to go ,but you have the wrong size ball.But,the right size nut?

 

[bam0813]

Atleast the safeties look solid lol

 

[raratt]

They make a double ball hitch. Needs pinned though.

 

[bam0813]

Check the directionals for me

[bam0813]

He should be able to operate a boat just not the gas pump imo lmao

 

[buckaclark]

Guess he can operate the Ole wallet.

 

[GreatwhiteNorth]

Back when gas stations had attendants a buddy did the same in H/S.
He quit way before $500 but destroyed all the Styrofoam flotation in the boat.

 

[bam0813]

Poor bastard was probably out in the sun all day with a bad case of sea knee and muscle memory to the rod holders hahahaha probably thought it was waves hitting the side of the boat

 

[natureboygrower]

The vid is ridiculous. Gas all over the place and some dude pushing it around with a squeegee just to spread it out. No absorbent to be seen.

On my bucket list for sure.
One day

I’ve filled the bucket with some amazing trips. Mostly last minute cancelations that were hugely discounted. Alaska, Vancouver Island, Labrador, Ungava bay, and Guatemala (sailfish). But not a lot of inshore salt water stuff. I’m drilling through 18” of ice right now to wet a line. Looking forward to trying this spot .
