one of the biggest challenges I've come across is getting chinook to eat a fly....sometimes takes many days of skunk waiting for it all to come together.....when it does its pretty sweet.

I thought we were talking REAL FISH here. All fish caught out of Kaneohe, Oahu.

In order:

450 lb Blue Marlin

42 Bull Mahimahi

Full deck: Mahi, 2 ono (35 lbs), aku (skipjack), and shibi (juvenile ahi). We missed 4 marlin this day, which would have given us the clean sweep.

Last pic is for Hop: Hooked up to 45 lb white ulua (Giant Trevally) on Midway at the cargo pier.

Nice!

I can hear that ulua make that reel scream... Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

First pic...my seldom used Clacka

Second...eastern OR steelhead

third...lazy beer drinking Lower Columbia Springer fishing last week.

I caught and released all nates. All other caught in the boat were hatchery eaters! Nothing as good as the first spring chinook of the year. Gamie sat next to our boat watching as we brought the first native up. He said it was the biggest fish he'd seen that year, pushing 30-35 pounds. Hope that one makes it past the tribes nets and has babies.

Wow - rod & reel for squid?! I never considered that possibility. Squid = yummy.

[hop]

Yep! We rodded and reeled for squid every night for 4 months but never got the action like we did with these Dosidicus off of Baja. They fight HARD... between their wings and their water jets they can really move. Some of these guys took lots of 65# spectra off a full drag before I could stop them. Plus, they're cannibals, so often times we'd lose the hooked one to the rest of the group when we were bringing them in.

We never ate these big ones; they went straight into the science freezer after sampling. The little guys? Yeah, they taste gooooooood.

Here's a pic from when I lived in Seward back in the old days of 2002. This was probably the best job I've ever had; I was paid to drive a 28' boat around the Kenai Fjords National Park and look for and track killer whales. If I couldn't find KW's, I was supposed to look for humpbacks. If I couldn't find them (or once I was done with them, we didn't have to track them), I was supposed to count Steller sea lions. Once I did that, I fished until we ran out of fuel, which was usually after three days or so. I'd return to Seward, deal with data, and head back out a few days later. I caught a lot of nice silvers, lingcod, and black rockfish. Amazingly enough my luck did not hold for halibut and I never caught one from my boat.

Every evening we'd anchor up (preferred spots were Natoa Cove, Pony Cove, 3 Hole Bay, and that tiny little bay on the SW side of Glacier Island) and I'd grill up one of the fish I'd caught that day for dinner. Looks like that night was another silver! :)

We'd fill our fishboxes with glacial ice to keep the fishies fresh until we got back to port. Mmmmm.

Notice the lucky hat... it's the same one as the Alijos pics. Hmm...

How deep were you guys fishing?
I suppose Humbold just like all others tend to roam towards the surface at night.
Lights?
Jigs?

Every day two hours after sunset we'd turn on some pretty serious floodlights pointed at the water in order to attract little fishies for our prey field assessments. Our main targets were halobates (pelagic water-skimmer bugs), flying fish, halfbeaks, myctophids, squid, and the like. We also caught baby mahi, baby sailfish, bullet mackerel, pelagic triggers, and other fun stuff including olive ridley sea turtles, sea snakes, and the occasional storm petrel.

It was always useful to have someone jigging a bit deeper than the dipnets to dredge up the squid that were more boat-shy like the big Dosidicus. If I was doing the jigging I'd use my megabait jigs since they'd catch fish as well as squid, but most others used squid jigs only.

Here's the dipnet station. I velcro-d my camera to the end of a 7m gaff and put it on self-timer.

No crystal clear. It han't rained in a while and it takes a pretty good gully washer to muck it up. They are raising the flows every day, but not till noon so, The water doesnt reach the B or C sections till late evening. Low water =
much better dry fly fishing.

The fish seemed to be really dispersed throughout the river. There are a bunch of nice holes and runs that don't hold fish so its best to start by the second bridge crossing on N. Fk. Teanaway river road and keep pushing down. Really pretty river with Mt. Stuart looming in the distance.

Heading back up to that area for Kings in a couple weeks... but now we roll in his 18 foot Jet Drive River Sled :fm: Need rain and cooler temps please!

Nice Fish.

Let me know when you head up for Kings, I'll be up there too shore fishing w/a flyrod.

[flatNshallow]

We're going to the Big Man 10/6 & 10/7... the boat's full or I'd have ya join us. I'll give ya a holla - if you're on the Big Man we can hook up for lunch / beers (we run a grill of the side the boat in the fall... mmmm Brats n Beers!) If nothing else suds after fish.

ps - we use flyrods to chuck n duck for kings...

We released them D. Even my VASTLY larger bass than Sprite's. :)
Sprite has me beat on quantity. The girl's a fish magnet.
Oh yeah, the reel is pink...pole, rod,..as long as it's pink

[snowsprite]

I even have a pink and purple mepps-type spinner lure that perfectly matches the pole, but they don't seem to be striking it.

I swear these Vermont fish have no fashion sense at all!

[Vinman]

no picks to share but the browns are really starting to get hungry again in N. VT now that the water temps have dropped. Landed 6 decent sized(~12 inches) in about 1.5 hrs last night.

[snowsprite]

I have never caught a trout! :(

What are you using? Are you fishing lake or river? Any hints where to cast or what I can use? I am not fly-fishing, just that pink regular set-up.

I'm fishing in some of the rivers and brooks up here in N. VT. I'm using worms most of the time for trout, crude but effective. But they will hit spinners too.

I went out again this morning for about 2 hrs and caught another 4 or 5 browns all right around a foot long. I only took one pick and have not gotten it off the camera yet.

as for where to cast, you'll find brook trout in fast, clear cold water. Browns like deeper slower moving pools but will somtimes be in fast water.

look for spots where the fast water mellows into deep pools as well as overhanging banks.

[snowsprite]

Thanks for the info Vin! I cast some spinners into the river @ quechee gorge on Sunday. I could see two trout... one 8 inch and one 12 inch. I tried a mepps aglia, a rooster tail, one of those "joe's flys" a teeny silver castmaster, and a black fury w/ white feather tail.

They watched me cast, popped open a few brews, and laughed their trouty asses off at me. :rolleyes: Nothin!

What do I STINK? Ugh!!! I'm going to try again, but I thought I was hitting areas as you describe.

Consolation: I did catch an 18" largemouth bass on Saturday. That was the most huge-ass freshwater fish I ever caught! I was actually afraid to hold him by the lip, I thought he might kill me. ;) Anyway, it was very cool...and he was released back into the super secret location from which he came.

Didn't get a decent shot of him unfortunately, but it was the same size as the one Train07 is holding a few posts up from this.
:cool:

Well, it was super secret until you screamed across the entire lake about the monster you caught. I saw gapers on shore taking notes.

If you can see them, they can see you... trout are very skittish. Try some worms, like I said crude but effective.

a kick ass 20" cutthroat from a few weeks ago. The best part of catching this guy was the fact that we had to leave in 5 minutes when I hooked'em. The last 2 casts I had some hits on my indicator as I nymphed. They hadn't been rising at all prior to that. My buddy informed me we had to hike out of the canyon in 5 minutes so that he could get to work on time.

I quickly threw on the ugliest dry I had on my vest. I saw the pig come up and check it out but didn't take it. Next switched to a October Caddis, bam he slammed it.
