5 Dollar Fishing Game

Do I still set the hook on ocean fish? The species he listed include albacore, blues, bluefin tuna, bonita, cudas, grouper, jacks, kings, sharks, spanish, stripers and tarpon.

Well, the guide does this for his job and if I want the total experience with as much fish as possible, I may bring my spinning gear. I'm comfortable with it. I'll bring the BC too in case I feel froggy. Regardless I'll stick to what he says the day of. :-)

Thanks choosy and John!!! I am pumped. Dramamine will be available if needed for sure. :-) I will definitely have pics.

I've been a bass fisherman through and thorough since 2011. Tried the deep sea thing about 3 years ago here in NC. Trip was 3 hours on the boat to get to the spot. 2 hours to fish. And 3 hours to get back with the boat. Me and the three guys I went with got sea sick (all but one actually). So Father's Day weekend this year June 20th we are trying the in shore fishing trip in NC. Guide said it is on a 24 foot boat. Will be me and three friends and the guide. The guide said there will be plenty of room. He said he uses spinning gear and baits just like bass fishing baits. He doesn't have any bait casters but we can bring our own. He said this is the case because not everyone can use them efficiently. He said there are mackerels, shark, blues, and other cool species. He sai sea sickness is almost not possible as it is very calm. He said at any point during the 50 mile trip we are 5-10 minutes from a marina. As opposed to the 6 hours of travel and only about 2 hours of fishing with the deep sea, he said we will be at the spot to start in about 10 minutes and have 8 hours of true fishing. Basically 6:30a-2:30p fishing. So my question is this. Is it possible to get skunked out there? Also how many fish can we expect to catch?

Shackleford Banks is one of the spots we are hitting. He said we will use poppers, plugs, jigs, and live bait and other lures too. On the deep sea trip the people on the boat caught about 20-30 fish each in about a 2 hour fishing time. We will be out fishing for 8 hours. I just want to make sure we are catching a bunch. The possibility is always there to get skunked but hopefully a whole lot less of a chance in our cicrumstance. :-)

WIN!!!!

IBTL!!!!!!

You are spot on. :-)

Thanks guys!!! I wanted to be sure so I am glad I got her checked out. :-)

Hey guys, I had it checked out. All normal. The motor is from the late 80's early 90's and he said often the discharge point won't be the only place to lose water from. As long as the mechanics of the motor are staying dry and the water pump is circulating the water then I am good to go. Also the compression test was perfect!!! :-)

So sorry. Keep us posted. Scum people in this world. I hope and pray you get some resolve. Insurance is good to have but it still hurts. As mentioned check eBay and other local sites also!!!!!!

Great stories!!!! Love them guys!!

My Johnson 70 two stroke may have a boo boo. I had this boat about 3 months now. Been a great motor for my 16 foot Cajun. I was running it with earmuffs in driveway today. Friend noticed it had water from pee hole which is normal. But also had water coming from the upper and lower part of outboard motor. About one foot above the prop. Kinda where the upper and lower meet. I think it's done it since I had it and never knew it was bad. He said it may be the "case". If it is, how much to fix and is it worth a new motor?? Boat all else is great. Love my little 1989 beast lol. She needs some help though. I probably won't put it on the water until fixed. Good idea? Can this problem worsen? Or is it like an oil leak in a car except this is water and will still cool the motor?

I saw a guy with a 2000'ish model Cadillac Seville towing a Triton bass boat. Nice caddy all polished up with white wall tires. Young guy about 30. Said it was his grandfather's car and he got it when he passed away. Put a trailer hitch on it and used the car. Said it can tow like 3,000lbs. His set up was perfect he said. You all ever see any vehicles that surprised you tugging a bass boat behind it?? This guy towed in style and luxury. ;-)

Oh yeah. Good stuff too. :-)

I like the American Killers. The movie Lake of Blood was terrible. Lol

I'm pumped!!!

Yes. Not a replica. :-)

Frog bite is a few weeks away here in NC! Nice fish man!

Nicely done! Thanks man! ;-)

Woot! Woot!

Water temps here in NC have been in the low 60's. Tomorrow am is supposed to be about 30!!!! Then the temps warm up to about 60 and then the normal 60's and 70's during the week. Overnight also may dip in the high 20's tonight. Question is how much will the lake temp be affected? Should I still through my usual minnows that worked all last week and spinners?
