Many congrats…

@No.88:

Caught this Dorado on a handline, offshore Angola. These are great fun to catch, as they don't half put up a fight! I think it weighed in at +/-25lbs. The fillets were rubbed with Cajun spices, & blackened on the hot-plate within 45 mins of pulling it out the water. I've yet to encounter a better tasting fish than the Dorado, (aka Mahi Mahi/Dolphin Fish/Lampuka).

that's friggin awesome.

Giant Trevally, Maldives…

Lovely little outfit you have there.  I'm having to invest heavily in the GT trip.  Anything less than bomb-proof (and that really means I'll only trust the best Japanese tackle) will just get smoked......Have some kit to pick up in May and some more probably in November...

[RedStripe]

sounds like proper fishing! I will get there one day I hope

On the subject of GT lures I remembered this link I got from somewhere - 3d printing them

Nice read! Interesting. We were supposed to go sea trout fishing today, but last night got a little out of hand so nobody made it haha.. Hopefully on monday.

Edit: Between myself and my three mates, we didn't have a single bite (or even a nibble..) in roughly four hours today. At least it was sunny!

Hand made and painted in France….

Had my first go at LRF last week. Weymouth Old Harbour

Still no sea trout this season, being super unlucky.. At least I'll offer a few snaps of my hunting grounds.

[Giles]

Last night I had my first beach session of the season.  10:30 - 04:30.

1 small Starry Smooth Hound  (expected at this time of the year)
1 small Codling (unexpected for this time of year)

No pics, as it was pissing down, windy and uncomfortable.

Not exactly an unfettered success….

For me today:

1 quite big gar pike
1 small cod
2 lost sea trouts.. It's a love/hate thing when they jump, it's awesome but the risk of losing the fish is greater.

There was a fucking seal ruining our fishing today, but kinda fun watching it eat all my trout..

[Giles]

I love the look of where you fish @Peter

Cleaned my fishing 2014 album and found this one to share. My daughter. It was her 6 year old birthday last summer.
West norwegian coast. In the mountains. Her 2 first trout! She was so proud!

So do I, @Giles ! It's right by the Öresundsbron (Öresund bridge), connecting Malmö to Copenhagen. It's a popular fishing spot, but we were completely alone today. Well, apart from the seal..

Lovely picture @hajduk - I've never caught a brown trout.

[Giles]

Dang, of corse it is.  I used to go over it a lot when I had business in Malmo…..If my memory serves me correctly, I'd fly into Copenhagen and catch the train to Malmo, does that make sense....?

Yes, makes total sense! We've got an airport as well, but really, we kinda treat Kastrup as our own. It's only a 20 min train ride.
