Incredible trip. Thanks for sharing. My GF was in Alaska on a cruise in August. Neighbor planned a trip with her husband. He passed away unexpected and the neighbor did the trip with the ladies from their pickle ball group.]]> Wed, 21 Oct 2026 12:40:16 EDT https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860982#Post1860982 https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860952#Post1860952 Buck

Nice mix of trout. The spawn was on bringing fish up to the dam. A great trip.]]> Sun, 18 Oct 2026 08:40:47 EDT https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860952#Post1860952 https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860836#Post1860836 Buck

That is a beauty, fishing the mangroves at high tide is lots of fun.
They are great eating but you have to skin them. I have been told that cooking with the skin on creates an off taste but I do not know from personal experience since I have never caught a legal snook within the tight possession size. I have caught some real over-sized monsters at the end of the north jetty at Sebastian Inlet and some under-sized snook up in NSB but never a keeper. Congratulations.]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2026 09:54:53 EDT https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860836#Post1860836 https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860844#Post1860844 Jeremiah G

Of all the places I have fished. Florida - live bait is crucial at many times. I have had days throwing lures with action all around me, but no hook ups. Switch to live bait, live shrimp or mullet and plenty of action. I highly recommend using a cast net for mullet, pilchards, etc.]]> Thu, 01 Oct 2026 10:31:28 EDT https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860844#Post1860844 https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860766#Post1860766 tommy

That big one might have scared all the rest of them away. LOL. Nice fish.]]> Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:56:25 EDT https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860766#Post1860766 https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860658#Post1860658 PeteB

While fishing/camping at Barton's Cove in MA, I ran into a little weather on the water. Unfortunately, I didn't run into many fish. Only a 6" smallie over 2+ days.

I've never fished Lake America,
I don't even know where it is.
We fished Lake Ontario.]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2026 09:36:44 EDT https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860669#Post1860669 https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860368#Post1860368 Jim Curto

Greetings Mates. I am looking for any recommendations for charters or info out of Scituate MA during the week of August 10-15. Offshore Sharks or Tuna or Combo and/or Inshore Bass or mixed bag. I will be there on a family vacation staying north of the Lighthouse, so I will be surf fishing at night on the beach and around the docks and with my Coast Guard pals if I can find them. I’m looking at booking a 6-man charter and would love to see the young men cranking sharks all day however, there are only three strong young men and the older me and I am good with watching the show/helping mate. I am up for anything, especially a fluke run out to The Banks if anyone knows anything about that. Either way, let me know what you know or advise. Thanks, Jim C.]]> Tue, 21 Jul 2026 19:15:57 EDT https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860368#Post1860368 https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860302#Post1860302 Buck

Whitefish are delicious eating. When I used to go on my annual spring fishing trip to Quebec for walleye and pike the lakes we fished had decent populations of whitefish so if fishing got slow mid-day we would switch to small spinners or maribou streamers and catch lake whitefish for dinner.
Lake whitefish are a big commercial industry on the Great Lakes along with yellow perch and walleye. One of the best fish to smoke. Best as a fish fry for a shore lunch. Better eating than trout.]]> Thu, 09 Jul 2026 11:08:06 EDT https://www.ctfisherman.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/1860302#Post1860302
