Fishing

I LOVE me some Fishing

Beaufort SC has access to some of the best salt, brackish, and freswater fishing in the country!

My favorite is Spottail Bass (or to outsiders...Redfish), Spotted trout are VERY plentiful during the colder months, and are Delicious!

Nearby Combahee river is loaded with largemouth and crappie, and if you want them, catfish.

mid summer is SHRIMPIN season. with some time left over for catchin blue crabs. damn.... now I'm hungry

I love to hit the local streams for trout (rainbow, brown, cutthroat, and brook) with a fly-rod. I do not get to do this nearly enough

I always have a cigar while walking/wading the stream. This is probably the only activity where I light up the larger smokes- churchills etc. They get slobbery and soft by the time I am finished, but last upwards of a couple hours. I smoked one of those big ass Jeroboam cigars the last time I went and nearly got through the whole thing

i love fishing. one of the few things i look forward to in the summer. i dont even care if we don't catch anything sometimes. its nice to get out to some fresh air and calm water.
i go at least every other wknd with my dad. he goes almost everyday but i work long hrs in the summer.
this year his buddy is buyin a boat so im pretty excited. should be a nice one.

here are some pics from a trip out last season.

This is the 150# Thresher Shark we cought this summer. It was our first shark. Took about 45 minutes to get in. One thing I find amazing about sharks is, it took 2 12 gauge slugs to the head, was still alived. Tied it backwards to the boat in the water and dragged it for a good 10 minutes, and when we pulled him on the boat he still had some life left. By the way Im 2nd from the right in the picture. The 2 hour ride back in 90 degree weather on a 22 foot center console is the culprit of the "zombie" look we all have. Anyone else have pictures of their catch. I love seeing peoples catch and hearing fishing stories.

Here's where I go at Badin Lake, NC a couple times a year. Only accessable by boat. .. .. ..

The North Myrtle Beach fishing hole. The inlet at Cherry Grove. About time to start getting back out there. .. ..

that is a beautiful location in NC
I know all about the "only accessible by boat" thing, very little in beaufort is accessible from the bank, worth fishing anyway.
What are you frying up in the last pic?

I hope that's Fish

That would be catfish. Love fresh catfish sandwiches. Coated in hot seafood breader and fried up right on the bank. Couple of the guys are good hunters too. We eat pretty damn good.

I do love to go fishing but I am one of the worst fisherman ever. I hardly ever catch anything, I have terrible luck and probably no skill. I plan to take it up again someday, I have a buddy who's a frequent fisherman so maybe he can show me what I've been doing wrong all my life.
