    I’m currently refinishing (sanding and staining) our deck.  I rather be fishing in Portugal even if I wasn’t catching anything.  🙂

        Got out early on Lake Waconia today before it got nuts (it got nuts anyhow). Caught a good number of fish and my first walleye of the year.
        Glad to get back on the water.

              @jordanscollected those are excellent cooked in a smoker stuffed with crab meat. Those are nice sized fish.

                Thanks guys! I’m taking my nephew on Tuesday to Waconia again. Hopefully more pics to come.

                @Filthy all catch and release today, but that walleye would have been great as you suggested.

                Get castin!!!!

                        I have just booked a week here Blue Fin Tuna fishing in September.  Covid, if you fuck this up, I will be beyond gutted…..

                          I'm so envious Giles. That looks amazing. I hope it stays on course for you.

                            Dont be.  I've probably done 150 hours Bass fishing (Sea Bass) so far this year, and have had 2 fish  :o

                                    That's actually quite small for Morocco…..The rod I had bought for the trip is a "Big Tuna 73 - Japan Special", it will cope with BFT to 200kgs....Now, of course, I won't be able to, but that's not really the point  🙂 🙂 🙂

                                      On a rig like that, do you use braided or steel line?

                                        PE10 Braid.  About 120lbs BS.

                                        Steel is a no-go, we are casting poppers to the fish at distance (not trolling lures), need the flexibility of braid.  Not even sure if you can cast a steel line from a fixed spool….

                                          I just assumed they would be at trolling depths (50-100 feet), or jigging.  Top water would be insane fun!  Especially using poppers.

                                          Other that shore fishing, I’ve never fished ocean.
