      I prefer the fresh grilled tuna steaks over smoked tuna.  The guy who makes it smokes the tuna and then adds some mayo and fresh cut bell peppers and onions and most people eat it on crackers.  Seems like a waste of good, fresh tuna to me.

        The UK government has issued a list of countries that we can visit and not have to quarantine upon our return.  In the main, the countries on the list won't let us in (Australia, New Zealand…) or we can't get to (Ascension Island), or can't really be bothered visiting (The Falkland Islands), so the only one that is actually accessible and sensible is Portugal.

        So yesterday we booked a small villa on the Algarve coast, where the Bass fishing (oh, and the walking Paula) is amazing.

        Will be there in 4 weeks.

        Some of the best fishing spots are extremely gnarly, so I have just put titanium carbide tipped studs into my wading boots.

          Finally got the boat and the lines wet.
          Lost 2 expensive lures to northern and had the largest bass spot the hook.

          Man I missed fishing.

          My nephew Saalim will be costarring in most of my fishing adventures. He can catch 1 fish in 6 hours and grin from ear to ear the entire time. The perfect fishing partner.

              been going out for Weakfish lately. they’ve been missing from our fishery for a long time. catching one used to be like seeing a unicorn. but they were back in numbers this year. here one of the many “unicorns” i caught. we were fishing g what is refered as a tombolo. it’s where waves meet after an island splits them. it leaves a bar that has deep water on both sides. we stand on the bar in waist deep moving water and fish either side or wherever the hell the wind allows.

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                Cool.  I am about to go out and fist a shingle spit.  I'm hoping to find some current around the end of it.  So far. zero Bass for me this year (the season appears to be about a month late)…

                  @Matty123 that is a great looking fish. Good eating? And what is the size of that specimen?

                    i let this fellow go but he was about 25 inches long. i have never eaten them as this was my first encounter with them. but a friend kept one and he said it was fantastic. it’s in the grunt family of fish and grunt are delicious!

                    Maybe so. Maybe not

                              Is there a storm forecasted (red sky in the morning)?  What a great way to spend a morning (friends and fishing).

                                  My boss has a cabin on the north shore of Lake Superior near Lutsen, MN. He took us all up to stay for a team building/work trip. Why was I the only one who brought a fishing rod? No catches on day 1, but I’ll put some time in today too if I get a chance. Fishing for salmon, steelhead, trout, etc.

                                        I'm on the South Western tip of Portugal with Paula, the coastline is amazing, but I've yet to catch…...It's a steep learning curve, never having fished like this before....All balls out on outcrops as far out as you can get, There's a 4-6 foot swell running and I'm regularly being dunked by rogue waves (I am wearing a life vest)....

                                          really beautiful @Giles even if you don't catch anything. Lake Superior didn't provide me any fish. I bet casting into that wind is just great too. Have fun and get swept away by the beauty, not the waves.
