My stepfather always likes to buy cheap boats and work on them himself. Often they don't work great all of the time. It wasn't as bad as this video, but we were in near that part of the inlet when the engine died and wouldn't start for several attempts. Made for many white knuckle moments with not only the waves but also being swept out into the ocean. That was the last time that I ever went on one of his boats.

No we were in Jupiter and went out of Jupiter inlet. I think Haulover is in Miami which is about 90 miles south of Jupiter.

Couple of photos from when we lived in FL. Been looking for them for a few years. Finally found the right box of photos a couple of months ago😁.Still my largest gag grouper. This wahoo was caught on a live herring about 4 miles out of Jupiter inlet. Still my largest fish.

I only work remote once or twice a month now but more so early on. In my division we have been about 85 to 90 % staffed on-site through this whole pandemic. Only a few can work effectively offsite but none are permanently remote workers.

I usually stopped fishing for smallmouth by the end of Oct. But was bank fishing small rivers and large creeks. Oct to April was my standard trout season. This was always my time to hit the Current river to fish for brown trout. I would go on Weds and most times have 3 to 4 river miles to myself especially on colder days. Last few years I would take at least a couple of trips to Bennett Springs for the C&R season and would also fish the Niangua below the park.

Nah - You still have plenty of years ahead of you to drag around gear. Fishing does wear you down a bit, but not like teenage daughter years which you may soon be traversing.

@Daryk Campbell Sr I don't have a boat, but when Livie is on her own in a few years, I will likely need someone to carry my rods when @JestersHK isn't available .

I miss having a good Asian market nearby. The poor one in town is now a Mexican market 😒
-
Nice memory Dave. I graduated two years ahead of you. I moved to NC from Connecticut after my graduation. Did a lot of spearfishing that summer 🙂
-
You going to tell us about carp fishing 🤔😉!
-
Kept it simple. Meatball parm subs. Homemade meatballs that were browned and into spaghetti sauce. Split some local sub rolls and toasted in oven then added and melted provolone cheese. Once melted added meatballs and sauce into the rolls. Served with Ceasars salad.

Looks delicious. That octopus looks tender.

Fishing rods have the same labels. Can't image eating a fishing rod🙄. But as you mentioned its driven by CA lawmakers.
-
Put in a $10 smallmouth tag and you'll have the money you need to boost that fishery.

Spent a few hours in intermittent rain and low temps with Livie. Fished a local creek targeting redbreast sunfish or perch. Saw no fish and had no bites. Moved to a pond that we will catch crappie, bluegill, and likely golden shiners later in the year. Only a few "nibbles" without and hooked fish😒. Did see a lot of fresh beaver sign.

Do this every year. Braised pork with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Rub was Asian 5 spice, garlic powder, smoke paprika, and brown sugar. Browned the rubbed pork and then white wine, chicken stock, whole garlic cloves and chucked yellow onion for braise. Added sauerkraut and caraway seeds after 2 hrs at 350. Cooked another 35 mins.

We did a variant with lobster tails, jumbo shrimp cocktail, and venison loin steaks for NYE. Side bernaise sauce and brown butter.. Also I made carrots with a maple ginger glaze. Livie made a trifle with chocolate and vanilla pudding with whipped cream separated into layers by ice ream sandwich wafers.

BowFUN! Chasing those swamp muskies!
-
Thankfully I didn't just take a drink of water when I opened this! That's hilarious!
-
Livie has been reading through them now. So funny. I had heard rumor that he was thinking about restarting the Far side, but I have not seen it happen.
-
Love the Far Side. Picked up three of the older compilation books right before Christmas. I thought I had them all but several have gone missing. Working now to replace those books.

Holy Cow that's a Big fish - Lake trout
Johnsfolly replied to Johnsfolly's topic in U.S.A. - South & West Regions
That's why I focus on micros. After them any 6 inch fish is a trophy .
