    Details: Smallmouth Bass

    Well, this winter has been making it difficult to fish... Snow. High water. Bitter cold. But i've got to say, it is pretty damn beautiful. The ice was just thick ...more enough to walk on, just to mess around

    Details: Hybrid Striped Bass with a $$$

    Just finished my rebuild on my PENN Surfmaster No.250... Can't wait to get it out in the salt! They dont make em like that anymore!

      Nice, I kept mine with 20lb mono
    2. john c 0
      I would have kept it, but that was one of the only problems, the previous owner neglected to oil it and the metal tips got ground down to where the spool wobbled. ...more Im about to load it with 80# braid @Cowboy713
    3. Chris Skinner 0
      Nice, I actually still have the plastic Bakelite spool in mine, haven't gotten around to ordering an aluminum one yet
    4. john c 0

      I think up that way people might call them peach blossom fish.
    2. Brandon Booth 0
      We have them down here in Texas. They are called Moon Jellies.

    Tooth i found walking on the beach in the obx, had it positively id'd as a great white... I'm stoked

    1. john c 0
      It couldve been a megladon tooth where i am too, but it was not fossilized enough to be that old, so the shark guy at the aquarium said it was a great white @fishinmike390
    2. Michael Enach 0
      What beach? If it was on the gulf it could have been a megladon tooth

    Details: Atlantic Croaker with a squid/shrimp/bloodworm/sand fleas/menhaden/

    Just got back from a week of surf fishing in the outerbanks, good water clarity and tons of fish, but extremely heavy grass, so hard to hold bottom. The days it ...more was light enough, couldnt get through

    1. john c 0
      But, ive got to say, if you have the time to fillet somewhere around 200 of the buggers, it makes a heck of a fish fry
    2. john c 0
      The croaker to get a big pull
    3. john c 0
      The baby croaker. Filleted what seemed like 1637483 of the little buggers. Had quite the fish fry

    Techniques? Rigging? Tips?

    1. Chris Skinner 0
      In that case, you should do great with a kite rig off the pier or beach
    2. john c 0
      Its the exact opposite here, which is a blessing AND a curse @cowboy713
    3. Chris Skinner 0
      The problem is (at least on the TX coast) that the wind blows into shore 99% of the time
