      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

                  Popped out this morning.  Had my first Bass of the season.  No pic. But my mate had a couple too…..

                    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.

                                  That coastline is beautiful and scary looking at the same time.  Hope you and Paula are enjoying Portugal!

                                    2oz lures does the trick

                                      Boy @Giles, this lure really can catch fish!
                                      My nephew and I caught 5 bass, 1 perch, 1 bluegill and 1 northern.
                                      Temps have been in the upper 90’s for the last week so it was really hard to find the fish and they were deep in search of cool water.

                                        Me, on the other hand, spent every morning in Portugal fishing hard from 7ish to 9ish for zippo/nada/fuck-all/nothing.....

                                        Will go back, unfinished business.....
