    I'm a lurker but I have a hard time with Ness really saying that...?

    Peacock Bass were fun on Oahu.

    Blacktips are easy from the shore. The problem is people. Cape San Blas or St George sound in Florida are good places to fish and it is away from people. The darn flies with orange on them hurt though. Big hook and chicken thighs should provide some fun. A 3-foot blacktip on a medium weight bass rod is a blast.

    Back in the early seventies I would be invited to the McDonnel Douglas Fishing club, Gravois arm I believe, maybe Bogue Creek. We could see the bottom past 10' in most places. I noticed a couple of times that a small barge would come by and spray the water for squiters. No bugs, no frogs. There is also a high BOD (biological oxygen demand) on that water. It's not as healthy as some want to promote.

    This is a good thread.

    I learned that technique as a young teen south of Hardin, Il on Otter Creek. An ole timer taught me how to do that while I spent a couple of weeks at Grandma's stilt cabin in the summer. BB guns and fish, I was in heaven.

    How about when you make a reservation in a hotel for a car race 6 months in advance and the hotel call 3 months later and says the rate tripled so take it or leave it.

    I get the jet boat right to use the rivers. However, I'm hearing impaired and a few years ago while facing upstream and fishing the Meramec upriver from the Dry Fork confluence I was hit by a jet boat and suffered 3 broken ribs. Try hiking cardiac after that. All jet boaters are not A- Holes but some of them give the rest of you a bad reputation. The rivers and streams are for everyone, boaters, waders and floaters.

    As far as I'm concerned Wrench is right. Mecury is like Trane heating and cooling equipment. They don't give a **** about the customer. "We have your money now, just go away"

    Potassium and phosphorus will always be high around here and there is no way to remove it. It's not much of a problem. What is the Cation Exchange Capacity number (cec)? It's and indicator of how easily your soil will change ph. Google it and you'll learn a lot about how to try and change the ph. It's long process and you don't want to add sulfur with plants in the ground because it may bur them. Yes, compost will deny nitrogen to your plants.

    Thats just about what we use in the surf. Most of the time I'll use a short wire leader.

    What kind of gear and tackle? I can do about any weight spinning rod and up to 8 wt fly.

    For me the thrill is doing it and maybe catching. I don't need to prove anything to anyone. The thrill has been had when you reel the fish in. Be gentle and let it go in the water.

    I agree with all of the above. Steel only if needed. Circle hooks rule and everything eats shrimp. Do not surf fish with a Zip lock bag of shrimp in your swim suit.

    What's Cooking?

    BLUEWATER replied to ness's topic in Food

    OK, I'm in on this one. I'm a long time lurker and retired Marine AKA Devil Dog. I keep in touch with other Marines and I need details on this recipe.

    Does the spring runoff show up as a blue line on a USGS map?

    I was told may years ago by an old timer that the best thing parents can do with their their kids is to hunt, fish and camp. Just saying because its so true. keep it up buddy.
