Johnsfolly Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Love hearing about goal setting and their completion. Pretty cool accomplishment for such a young girl. https://www.bangordailynews.com/2024/09/04/outdoors/fishing/young-girl-reaches-goal-many-experienced-fishermen-have-not-joam40zk0w/ BilletHead, Daryk Campbell Sr, nomolites and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netboy Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Those ribbonfish used to make great trolling baits for kingfish off the Texas coast. The bigger, the better. We rigged them with a 2-hook rig and slow trolled. Many times, the kings would come up under them and clear the water by 10 feet on the strike. It was pretty exciting.

I have seen lots of articles about using and rigging ribbonfish for king mackerel. Would like to try it some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnsfolly Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 #17 Lifer for 2024 - Oriental Weatherfish. Thought that this would fall under a swamp species but caught it in a clear stream in the middle of town in NJ. #18 Lifer - Banded Sunfish. This one is a swamp fish species. Caught in the Pinelands of NJ. Still plugging away at my 2024 goals😉😁. Did fish for skipjacks but no luck. Not sure if I will have another chance at them this year. Still might get a sauger in WV if I can get out there before year's end. Daryk Campbell Sr, snagged in outlet 3, Terrierman and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnsfolly Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Last week I caught and met my total lifer goal of 19 lifers for 2024 with this brook stickleback that I caught in Colorado. I still have some time to get a few more species by the end of the year. snagged in outlet 3, Daryk Campbell Sr, Quillback and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 Great job! Johnsfolly 1 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
