Finally got to go offshore and do some fishing yesterday. Lost a nice cobia in the morning, after a long fight, which really pissed me off. It got rough, so I started trolling... got the cuda first, and then a couple dolphin. Theres not much better than some deep fried dolphin nuggets 
Where are you guys at with some fish pictures? Airjockie!
Here a couple highlights from some freshwater fishing i did this week...
nice healthy 3lb bass
This is a mayan cichlid, one of the many exotic species you may catch in south fl, they fight very hard on ultralight tackle and are pretty damn mean. This one was one of the biggest i have caught for sure. At least 2lbs.
this one was slightly smaller, but really pretty
Also, check out the monster jack my friend caught right off the seawall at work the other day!

Those are some nice looking fish Clayton!
What kind of rig / bait / tackle are you using?
I'll be hitting up the Potomac River to troll for striper this weekend, hopefully I see some action. Probably will troll for a couple of hours and if nothing will post up and bottom fish for croaker / cats.
Supposed to be beautiful this weekend !

since I left cars...and if anyone knows what a fishing rod's price is....well.....
I went to the extreme on a few set-ups.
Orvis Helios 2 8-weight 9' Fly Rod, with 2 Orvis Mirage LA V's. One gold and one black. All three lines for sink rates.
Shimano Trevala rods, around 3 of them. One with a shimano Baitrunner 8000, one with a shimano stradic 5000FJ, one with a Daiwa LD40.
About 15 other rods and reels set-up.....
rigs and bait very.... from tube and worm, to plugs, lures, and flies.
Today's fish was a 30" striper on a top water plug. My first top water plug fish over 14"....it was fun.

I do have extra kayaks and equipment.... just hit me up when your able to go out from 8am to 2 pm....
I went down to the cowlitz river yesterday. Lots of little jack king's and trout. No keepers.
After Sunday i went and spent $150 on fly gear getting my stuff back up to date so i can go hit some of these guys on my 8' 4-5 weight fly rod. I can wait!
If your feeling adventurous i hear the springers are running pretty good around dessert air on the Columbia
Nice! I've never fly fished. I'd like to learn how. I'm just learning the basic plunking, plugging, jigging and side drifting techniques for regular salmon/steelhead now.
Yeah that's what I heard. And up at skykomish they're pretty consistent.
this thing looks pretty cool, i know theres a couple of kayak fisherman here
