I've only been out fishing a couple of times when I was in Australia, which I enjoyed, nothing more relaxing that sitting on a boat all day, drinking beer and then eating your catch in the evening. I caught Australian bass one day and yellowbellies the other.

We used to go fish a lot when I was younger but we were never after anything in particular.
Definitely love fishing. I typically go for Walleye or Bass. But lets me honest. If the fishing day isn't going so well we'll take whatever we can catch...hahaha
Well obviously not crappie or any other nasty bottom feeder.

I have never been deep sea fishing. I have fished a few piers in the gulf of mexico but mostly freshwater fishing for me.
That was a big deal when I was a kid to fish all day and fry our catch over a campfire at night.
Crappie are not bottom feeders to my experience. Now catfish are another story. I have never fished waters with walleye but I have heard they are tasty. I have actually caught carp just for the sport.

Nah, that was just on a little boat on a lake. Would like to go deep sea fishing sometime though, some of my friends have been a few times but I've just never got around to it.
I like fishing with artificial instead of live bait mostly. I have drowned a few crickets over the years. Nothing like dropping a cricket in a bluegill bed using a flyrod.
I'm not sure how my balance & stomach would hold-up going out very far.:eek

We used to go with my grandfather and his cane poles. We rarely caught anything but it was an adventure for us. He used to take my brother down to Lake Okeechobee and fish for weeks. When they got back, they'd have a big fish fry and invite the neighborhood.
EEK I meant carp...I think I typed crappie cuz you did and wasn't thinking when I typed.
No problem. :24: I was thinking maybe Northern Crappie were different.
I really got bit by the flyfishing bug recently because my place I was going was hard to fish any other way.
Ohh you fly fish.
Bryan's granpa makes his own lures... he make a horse fly one once, with a very small wooden horse on the lure he carved. :24:
Ohh you fly fish.
I have never tried flytying. With my eyesight it would be a challenge without a real good set-up with magnifier.
I own 6 flyrods & reels.
2-#4 set-ups
3-#6 set-ups
1-#8 set-up

You lost me
The weight line the rod & reel are designed to use.
Ahh gotcha. I just put bait on the hook and whip it in the water hope I catch something.
Extend to my knowledge, although I do know how to gut and fillet a fish
