There are worse things to do than takin the boat out, drinking some beer and catching a few speckled trout.

Them's good eatin'!

Oh man, I'm so jealous. I love fishing. Nice looking fish you got there.

It was right about the limit, but we were releasin em yesterday.

Lotta fun...Looks like it might be a weekly deal, as long as the weather holds.

good times, I haven't been fishing in years

Man, I miss fishin. A cold beer for sun-up and dragging reds into the boat= heaven.

I went fishing last year for the first time in nearly a decade. I successfully caught two Smallmouth Bass. I do the Catch Photo Release method, since I don't actually like eating fish. I would mount a master angler on my wall though if I ever caught one.

I really like bigger game fishing like Tarpon. But yeah it's a good excuse to drink beer and hang out.

Like you need an excuse.

true.

i dont have the patience for fishing. my dad liked to go fishing all the time and he would wake me up at the crack of dawn to head out on the ocean or some mountain lake to freeze my ass. good times.

That's when the fishing itself is exciting...but yesterday it was 78 degrees, the water was calm, my boy has a CD player on the boat (New Truckers and Without A Net were played) and we just drank some beer and forgot about our troubles.

It's like TBurge said: ain't nothin better than puttin boats on the water.

I caught a 3.5 foot long wahoo on my honeymoon. Should've kept the fish and thrown my husband back.

Damn, I want to go out on a boat now. Stupid work.

You should fish the Grand Isle Tarpon Rodeo at least once before you die. Nothing like it on earth.

When/where?

I'm thinking Grand Isle, at some time.

Grand Isle, LA ( 1 1/2 hour south of New Orleans). Last weekend in July. People come from all over. Way more decadent then Mardi Gras without the tourist. I've seen stuff in public there that I can't repeat on a message board. I don't know how it we'll be post-Katriana because it took a beating. It's one of the oldest rodeos in America and I think the largest Tarpon rodeo in the world.

Damn, that could be an interesting birthday trip for me...Let's revisit as it gets closer.

QUICK! Someone get a hold of ayah and let her know we've finally got a thread that turned into a fish fest!!!

np: The Libertines - "Vertigo"

Fishing is one of those things I absolutely love but rarely get to do. One of the best ways to spend a Saturday if you ask me.

I live within walking distance of a small urban lake. I keep thinking I'm gonna give it a try for fishing. It's not much but why not. I wouldn't eat anything caught out of it. I miss the good midwest fishing for bass and bluegill. But first, I need to finish my thesis.

I used to fish when I was little.

We lived on a pond and my brothers and I would, honest to goodness, walk down with our poles barefoot and sporting rolled up jeans (should have been overalls).

We once caught a fish with a bunch of holes in it.

I'm pretty sure you could if you tried.

at age ten i went with a friend to visit her family in the country--yeah, indiana. i caught a fish and screamed like a baby and threw the whole deal into the lake. first and last time ever.

i'd rather go sailing.
