new young fisherman needs help

MICHAELSrnty — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 18:52:28 GMT

Hey guys,

I met a nice family who has an 11 year old son who has recently gotten hooked on fishing, he lives in Stuart Florida and fishes a nearby freshwater pond, but hasn't had much luck. I donated a lot of gear that we had lying around, but not much for freshwater. He is really excited, and they want to encourage his newfound love to keep him out of trouble in the future. Anyway I gave him all the advise I could on freshwater, river, and saltwater fishing and tackle to match and a number of spots to try. However I know way less about freshwater, and would like to increase his knowledge so that he gets really addicted, and the best way to do that is with shared experience. So I am asking for any help, you know, any tricks, knots, baits, spots to look for, presentation etc.

Please post ANYTHING that can help increase his chances, and make him look good in the process LOL. Thanks guys.

Has anybody tried out the new line of lures that rapala has came out with? X-Rap Shad, Subwalk, X-Rap Walk... If you have; What are your opinions. To me... i personally think these lures are the best so far and would be hard to duplicate by any other manufacturer. Subwalks are the best.

My son's 1st King and Cuda

sailfish1 — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 08:00:13 GMT

My son Henry, who's pic has been on this site a few times got to fish with his Uncle Taco on the "Hooked Up" out of Ft Lauderdale. Very slow down there off shore but did manage a few fish.

DOA, The Kingfish you see here was used the next a.m. to catch the Tarpon......

Heading out...Capt Henry

1st King

1st Cuda 47"

Tarpon next a.m. 80+lb'er caught on the Kingfish steaks....went 2 for 2 in an hour. Henry was tired from the day before so he didn't even want a rod in his hands.....

can you say mogan carp

frentals — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 21:05:26 GMT

okay well theres this lake in my community and this lake is so thick with carp it unbeleivable. I started off chumming with bread as the carp rose to the surface to feed ai lightly casted a chunk of bread on my free lined hook and i recommend using no wait because the bread floats and you can see the carp swallow the bait and it pretty frekin awesome. Well that show i got my second carp and my first was on a rapala x-rap orange, the third on a potato/ bread ball boiled and seasoned fished on bottom.

My First Smallmouth Bass

catch22jr — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 17:01:57 GMT

I waded at the Oneida lake dam the other day for my first small mouth. 4th cast , my first smallie, 2 1/4 pounder. These fish fight better than a 2 1/4 largemouth, IMO> :)

King Fish

faze2 — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 13:24:36 GMT

I'm new to the forums. But I thought I would share an experience some friends and I had over spring break.
First off, I'm from St. Pete FL and I'm 18. My friends that I go with are 17 and 15.
We like to fish at a wreck called the Betty Rose and the South County Reef, both are about 14 miles off shore.
The best day during Spring Break we caught 6 King Fish and 3 Nurse Sharks, the sharks were about 6ft-8ft.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v402/Salicious/fishing1.jpg[/IMG]
That is me and the second King I caught.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v402/Salicious/fishing2.jpg[/IMG]
That is one of my friends and the first king he caught.
[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v402/Salicious/fishing3.jpg[/IMG]
That is us bleeding them.

A bad picture of one of the sharks.

Sorry about the bad pictures they were taken from a phone.

Snook on Hook!

Wallie The Wally — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 10:21:06 GMT

Although this was many years ago, I intend to tell my story. It was about 8 PM, and our floodlights are on, while we are docked in Useppa Island Marina. While I was just dropping in my line, for fun, no bait just a bare hook, and then on my third drop, a huge STRIKE! Now at this time i'm only 7 years old. While i'm fighting this monster, it starts going under our boat, to cut the line under the prop, while I reach over, and finally pull it in. We weighed it in, a Whoppin' 36 lbs! And 46 Inches! Now this may seem unreal, but it was one heck of a fight!

Two weeks ago i went fishing in pine island sound . our live well was full of live pinfish and whitebait. We anchored behind one of the mangrove islands and started fishing. Very soon we were on the reds. Within 2 hours we had caught 60 reds the majority of them were over slot. we also happened to get 2 small snook and one jew fish. that was the best day of red fish fishing of my life!
