either on land or in a boat.I sold my jon boat,so I'm stuck with land fishing for now.

I do the catfish and crappie thing

and really enjoy catches some snapping turtles. yum yum

My Dad and son love fishing around these parts, but I miss digging for clams on the coast, although I do join them once in a while, mostly crappie, bass, perch, with the ocassional catfish..

and found a crawdaddy spot..catchin crawdaddies one of my favorite things to do because I know steamin 'em comes next..mmmmm

se0sea I also like to fish any kind prefer fresh water but I have been Marlin Fishing one time Cabo San Lucas Mexico for Striped Marlin but I would rather Fly Fish just learning how at 65yrs.

Sully,I want to learn to flyfish. in 2-3 years,we're moving to NC and I am dying to get some trout.

Amvet,dont forget to "burp"those crawdaddys first.YUM! and I love clams too,especially raw.

Billy, had my share of catfish,but havent caught a crappie yet.been all largemouth bass. biggest one was just under 9 pounds from the shoreline at my friends lake. she was delish! LOL

keep 'em comin folks!

a good ole mess of crappie fillets you just can't beat, taste far better than ole mr largemouth.

can't beat cajun crawfish either, big pot of them and some beer makes for a great saturday afternoon

se0sea I have been watching people Flyfish all my life went talked to a guy here where I live and he has been taking me out you can also Pan Fish with a fly rod and we we do have some great Trout here Cutthrout, Rainbow and some German Brown .

Billy I like to fish for Catfish too we have a few out here but not like back in your part of the Country.The only Big River out here is the Colorado but they say they have big Catfish in some of the Man made Lakes.

I hear that crappies are awesome! damn,never caught one.

this is awesome! we got fishermen here! been fishin since my grand dad took me at pelican harbor in miami beach.million dollar homes there now though.kicked us out after a while and went to the causeways bridges.well,cant go there no more either.
miami sux nowadays.

se0sea I think I posted about getting in trouble putting two pr longhandles and my coveralls and my wadders on and going Flyfishing I tried to tell my Daugher-inlaw the fish don't know its winter almost like Ice fishing. Cutthroat and some Pan will bite in the winter.

O'sea. Dude, I live in Mich. fish and hunt all the time. Salmon, steelhead, browns in fall and spring. Bluegills, perch, walleye, and pike, in winter and summer. Also whitefish, sturgeon, musky, bass ( both kinds), and brookies. I have always heard that fishing the canals in south Fla. was a rush. I would like to connect people in Fla. and maybe swap fishing trips. Also like to flyfish, for everything!

Head up to Winterhaven if you get the chance, some great Crappie fishing there. Course you Fla Boys call them (Specs) A very good friend of mine is from there and every year when he went home on leave he would bring back a cooler full. We have some great crappie fishing up here as well

Dude! You have got to go to Rodman Reservoir, near Palatka, in the spring and go bass fishing! I went last year and caught 2 over 8 lbs!

Got to fish Rodman once and it was great, just glad I was with a friend from around there that new the water it can get a bit hairy

Starlin,love the taste of cold water fish.the meat is sweet.
as far as our canals here,if its brackish water,(salt mixed with fresh) you can bring up some snook. best eating and very restricted.everything here has a limit. also,cant wait til lobster season opens.

splavman,nice catch there! wish I had some pics to share.there burried in a drawer somewhere here.LOL

Billy,winterhaven is close to where my folks live.(lake wales)lake kissimee has good fishing over there.we call them specs or crappies. a good fishin trip is lake okechobee or lake walk-in-water.

starlinI have old Shipmate who lives in Minnesota wanted me to come up and fish with him we don't have Waleye,N Pike or Muskie down here I have fished about everything else at least fresh water.

Sparky I saw your location what part of Mo. are you at I was out there a couple of yrs.caught some nice Smallmouth ,Crappies,30 lbs Flathead Cats but no Largemouth they said to go over to Lake Ozark never made it.
