Boaman, awesome pictures! Do you catch any Tuna around those rigs? We get the fattest trout on our coastline during the winter. The weather has been so bad I have yet to be able to catch a nice one over my record of 24". I especially like that Bull red you caught!

Thanks!


Those rigs are just in the bay. I have offshore pics, just gotta dig em up. I gave up offshore fishing a few years ago. Just got to be too much time, wear on the old bones and too much $$.


I mostly fished for grouper, snapper, cobia, etc.... Ill find some pics.

Nice trout Boaman! I love fishing around rigs. Never know what you're gonna catch. That kayak fishing looks like a lotta fun. I need to try that for sure.

Thanks, all reds over about 24" are released...dont like to eat em bigger than that. That one was 36-38ish. We got one just over 40" on the wall that my wife caught on our 5th anniversary...(7years ago). We tried to release but caught it on light line and in a strong current so it wouldnt revive.


Decided to mount it as a momento....Ill get a pic of it too if yall want.

We release them too after that size. 18 - 24 are the best for eating. Although with the 20 inch minimum now, good eating reds can be hard to come by. But nothing like the fight of a red over 30. They are insane.

Nice Kings, I love Kingfishing season when they're all over out there. I bring out my Snook rod, which is a 7ft Carrot Stix and a 40pt Quantum Cabo for the reel, and I catch Bonito and Kings ALL day. When we go out deep sea fishing, I bring that pole on the boat, and people ask, "Is that your sabiki rod?" I say hahahah, "I'm catching Kings with this buddy" they laugh and don't believe that I can reel in a 4ft kingfish on a Snook set up. I've proved them wrong everytime. I am a light tackle junkie. I catch Snook on a Gloomis made for bass, and a 10pt Catalyst, 10pt!! The drag is like 2lbs haha. I caught my first 40inch Snook on it this last Spring.
