Nice looking pics - I especially like your boat.

Cool stuff.

The Ohono was the best tasting fish I've ever ate but we ate so much of that fish we had to go out for Hamburgers the last day.
We ended up giving 20lbs to the gardener, man did he get stoked!!!

well caught about 5 fish today 1 cutthroat trout about 8 inches or so but skinny, and the rest sqau fish, i took a pic of one sqau cuz it was the biggest ive ever seen i kill all sqau on site, they are shit fish and are not even supposed to be in our river and they eat salmon eggs. i released the trout cuz it was a cutthroat and not many are left here in the river and he was skinny, but he had some cool colors his fins were orange and the bottom of his neck was as well. i took a pic of him but my phone cam doesnt show how bright the orange was.

That's awesome bro! Very nice ...
I'm a big fan of going for cut throat. When I lived in Utah, you couldn't talk to anyone that fished without hearing about how great the cut throat fly fishing was. Google 'Cut Throat Fishing in Uinta Mountains, Utah' ... It's world class fly fishing there and you can get guided tours up to ponds where it will be just you and BIG FISH to give you a hell of a fight. But ya, when you mentioned the fishing AND crabbing I was sold. Even if we met up and headed over to the coast to do a guided one. I've done multi-group deep sea fishing in Coos Bay and went out 10 mi back when I was younger and it was a blast. Lots of snapper, ling cod, yellowfish, ... Good eating, that's for sure!
Although a guided salmon or halibut trip would be sick! Salmon has to be my favorite fish BY FAR. Favorite way to eat it is sashimi grade straight up.
Great post brotha!

well today i was fishing in the rogue river all day off the banks and using salmon roe fishing for steely, and well at the end of the day i hooked one it was about a 5 min fight cuz he swam right to me for some reason but any way he was right next to me in the water he was a good 2 ft or more and 15 pounds at the least he was jumping and he was such a nice silver color i was so excited well i realed him as much as i could then leaned over to grab the line and bring him in and then he jumped out the water and snap my fuckin line snapped some how, i think it rubbed against a rock or something, cuz i was using 20 lb test. it pissed me off so bad for about 5 mins and then i started to get sad and very frustrated that i didnt land him, i wish i had a net or a buddy who was theri to help get him in im still pretty mad right now even though it happend about 2 hours ago i just cant seem to let it go, but all well i hooked one witch is a god sign i am getting better at how to catch them and the fall run hasnt even really began, in another few weeks their should be alot of them here and i will prevail. this is no lie or fish tail either, i wish i landed him and had a pic, if i did get him i would me firing up my smoker inthe next few days after the meat soaked in the brine mix

i used to go out all the time for ling, the biggest one i had was 40 pounds and about 3 ft long but i no longer have the pic, we had alot of color full rock fish as well. and ya i think a guided salmon trip would be the funnest and best eating i love smoked fish i never really had it any other way that i really like. i would like to go on a guide that goes down the rouge river and it last 4 days and 3 nights and you camp out at night then get back on the water and it goes all the way to the coast but that shit is like 1700 dollars theri is some good prices on river guides here for salmon and steely some are as low as 150 for a full day for 2 people, im saving up to try to go on one.
and the post i just posted is the one i wanted you to see so hope you come back

That's why I think we should go for our own boat. Ya, a guided tour will know where to go and have all the highest tech fish finders, ... But is that really what fishing is about? That's kinda cheating in my book haha I say we look into a boat rental which would be very cheap. Lots are $100-150/half-day or something + Gas, and then you just gotta put a debit/credit down for a deposit incase anything happens. If we split that cost I think it'd be worth it. I'd wanna smoke too, so that'd suck being with the guides and not being allowed to do that, ya know?
And ya, if you keep catching those small fish maybe you can toss some in the freezer and instead of smoking, save them to toss in a crab cage in the future? That's perfect sized bait.

ya a boeat to have as your own would be the shit, and most of teh guides here are in drift boats and dont use fish finders or anything, but ya i consider that cheating to. i mainly want to go withone to learn all the stuff i can and get some monster fish. i didnt even know they had boat rentals like that, im gonna look up on it when i have some time. and ya i would want to smoke to even thoug i cant cuz my probation, i am still legal but my po wont allow it, if youre a legal card holder and we were ona guide i would just light up a blunt or joint what ever you smoke and see what happins, he couldnt do much if your legal to smoke its not near as bad as cigs. it would be kinda disrespectful though. and i will keep all my fish heads and insides for the purpose of crabbing, i want to smoke my trout though, i can always go out and catch sqaw though i can catch those every cast if i wanted to and we could throw those in the pots let them sit out for a few days and get real stinky smellin
man i wish i could smoke it would be pretty cool to meet you and blaze a fat blunt filled with some hash

I cant find the rest of my fish pics. Plan on some fishing this month though maybe i can get some new ones up. This is a carp i caught def not close to the biggest. I got it inside a canal and that random black guy in the pics asked to take a pic with me and he ended up buying it. LOLView attachment 1217672

Yea man Idk those catfish were caught outta the Ohio river and ya can't eat them due to the chemical ratio in the river and the size of the fish. I stocked them into a pond and so I can catch em again.

Went fishin at a new spot today, first time in a WHILE I've been able to go. Just smallmouths and perch but it was nice to go down to the creek and chill for a while. Would have pics but the little bitty bastards could flip out of my hands so easy, I never could grap by phone and snap one lol.
