Wolfy babe, I could take this quote so many places, but I'll be nice. Anyways, surf fishing is basically just fishing from the shoreline on the beach. Honestly, I'll fish anywhere.

I just have to say that every time I see this thread title, I think it says "Let's talk about fisTing"

Whew...thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Now back to your regularly scheduled (or unscheduled) programming...

I like fishing. I don't like touching the worms though.

I don't have a problem with those little fishies - but worms? ew.

Mare and I did quite a bit of fishing this past summer, but didn't catch a thing. We made a killing with crabbing though.

I don't even eat fish with the exception of fish sticks and tuna, lol, but I find fishing itself very therapeutic. I just love being near the water. We are hoping to get a boat in the very near future and take our fishing trips to the next level.
I'm just hoping to avoid this --->

cause that would be my kind of luck, lol.

I also think fishing is therapeutic. When I lived in Chicago, there used to be a place I'd go to a lot. It was a river where a man made dam was and I'd sit and fish for hours alone. No one to bother me, alone with my thoughts. Sometimes I'd go after a hard day of work just to wind down before I went home. River fishing can be fun because you never know what you'll catch.

As for the worms, I'd put them on a hook for you anytime, but I have a funny feeling Mare already does that.

The term must be an east coast thing because growing up in Chicago, we just called it fishing without a boat, lol.

Mare and I tried surf fishing when we were in Virginia. It's not easy and it's a bit of a pain in the ass. It's not quite the same as casting off of a pier. You are literally standing at the edge of a shoreline and casting out into the ocean. All I caught was a few shells and tons of seaweed.

Gotcha, I think I saw someone doing that in California once. Didn't know it had a specific name.

NJFemmie · 11-24-2009, 02:58 PM

Yes, Mare baits my hooks if we are using worms, lol. If we use fishies or squid, I can do that myself. She suggests I try fly fishing because I love casting the rod over and over and over and over *gasp* and over again ...

Hell, I don't even eat the stuff but I sure love playing with mah pole.

I'm the lazy, patient fisherman. I cast out, leave it and pay close attention to my line. Catfish like to play with the hook, so you have to bait it well and tease them once your line starts to move. Every now and then, I get a surprise and pull in a bass. I usually use a #2 hook, so the fish has to open up wide to suck it and the worm in. The exciting part is the yank and knowing the fish is secure on that hook as it fights with all it's might to stay in the water. When we catch enough fish, we have a fish fry.

You are so right. It's not easy, but I do love to feel the waves crash against me..

Dont wait til I retire, c'mon up ! The cabin is rustic, but the setting is gorgeous. And the general store is just a mile down the road...kind of a funky artsy little place.

Not sure if I could surf-fish...I'd probably be swept out to sea because I'm just that talented (snarking myself).

Duchess · 11-24-2009, 04:14 PM

I feel a road trip coming on..

Me, too......we got us an invite to a cabin on a river. Getting there at the moment is the problem. Should wait for warmer weather since we don't have to wait for Boots to retire.

Gawd, this made me laugh. Ok, Back on topic...

I love fishing ! I have a cabin on a river noted for its steelhead fishing. I've saved that pursuit for retirement...
But, for my annual fishing trek, my friend owns a charter company in Juneau and every year I head up for Salmon and Halibut fishing. The views going through Icy Strait are remarkable, and the fishing is just indescribable !

Dang, lucky you, a charter in Alaska for salmon fishing and a cabin on a river for retirement. What a nice way to enjoy retirement, catching steelhead.

Does that mean we'll have to wait until he retires to his cabin on a river?
