Your persistence will pay off.
Pretty good things happening on the boats.
Hang in there!
You fucking rock Dorthy....Carry on....
Personally, I think a....“Dorthy’s Fish Forum for Tards” would be a kick ass place where fuck-tards and hook-tards could discuss the latest hot fishing honey holes they come across.....if the site can spare the “bandwidth” of course....
Shrimping hasn't been so hot either, especially down near Matagorda, and the oyster beds didn't fare well. Just starting to come back, and here we are in another hurricane season, dang it. I like the wee scavengers of the ocean, myself.
I've been out a few times on deep-sea fishing expeditions, but have always been impressed with DM's seashore abilities. Reel 'em in, hon!
Weather events like Harvey are Mother Nature's way of cleaning things up.
I was in the Chandeleur Islands on a 4 day excursion. We came in on Thursday. Katrina hit Saturday I think it was so she was blowing right up our ass. We caught tons of fish. The islands took a big hit but they always come back. It's good to have a standby hobby for when things are recovering...You know, like knitting.
Great fishing up here in Missouri
I luv fishing too miss dm
Bull Reds Are My Favorite They Work Me Out Like Billy Blanks On VHS.. They Just Caught Another Big Jaws On San Luis Pass.. Fuck That All That Work For That I Would Be Pissed lmao..Sharks Are Gay Nobody Has Time For That.. It's Like An Aggressive Tard In Your Inbox..

Every True Fisherman Knows Right Before A Storm Is The Best Time To Fish..

I'm Glad Other Areas Of The Ocean Have Experienced A Downfall At Least I Know I'm Not Just Imagining Things.. I Go Every Chance I Get You Should Try It
To elaborate-
I know you like the shore but...
Been killing trout, ling and snapper fairly close off the boat.
Water is warm!
Guilty as charged! Lmao ^^^^

I saw that some dudes caught an 8' 6" Tiger shark at SLP, that is bad ass! That would be way more fun than catching a few little trout or reds to me. Everyone has their favorites though.
On another Chandeleur trip we had some guys join us from Minnesota. All they wanted to fish for was sharks. We were like, man, you've got all these specks and reds and you want to fish for fucking sharks? Their explanation made sense. They said, we're from the land of 10000 lakes, everyone up there knows how to catch fish and lots of them. I can come back with pictures of stringers full of fish and it would mean nothing to my friends. I come back with a picture of a shark and I'm a man among men. Perception.
Incidentally they caught a nice 6' black tip the first morning. The boat's cook had that thing filleted and grilled by lunch time. Damn good eating.
Ahhh yes. We dont have saltwater fishing lol
Don't get me wrong, trout and reds are damn good eating and nothing beats flounder in my book but I love the rush I get when that clicker is screaming and the rod is bouncing with something that you know is huge. Plus you can just sit back and drink some cold beer and smoke a nice cigar while you're waiting!
Now that’s some funny shit right there.....
I have a few buddies from up north I’ve taken out on a charter who basically said and wanted the same thing. They are a lot of fun to catch though. I snagged a 5’ black tip a few years back off shore....bastard put up a helluva fight but filleted up into some nice thick steaks that were great on the grill.
I wouldn't stick my hand near them either, we just cut the hook and it falls out of their mouth. It's easy to crimp a new one on the leader. And you get to keep all your fingers that way.
Well dorthy at least getting anything is better than reeling in a stingray... Thats happened more times then i can count from the shore.... But im thinking maybe shrimp isnt the best bait for galveston...lol
True that or an eel or a dog fish I'm cutting my line lmao.. It all depends where you fish at and how you have your leader set up.. I know I don't like asians but I've seen some nice setups and those bastards will get there and drop there line and hook like 4 fish at once.. I want to push them in the water lmao..
Lmao my motto is pictures or it didn't happen.. A few times I've kicked myself in the ass because my phone died and I couldn't get a picture..
People are always amazed by sharks and I'm like no thanks especially when you catch them so close to the shore that's when I think of all the times I fished in the surf at night and it's scary.. I'm more scared of stingray's I had a friend get stung 2 times once he was fishing at night in the surf Alone with no reception he almost lost his foot it was pretty bad..
I honestly just like fishing I feel like a little girl in the toy section at Walmart idk plus I get to talk shit to the guys when I catch bigger fish than them haha..
And that’s what it’s all about D....hunting and fishing have been ingrained in our DNA since the dawn of time....None of us would be here without it. Nothing clears my head more from life’s stress than to take off on a 2-3 day fishing/camping trip at the lake all alone. Cleaning and preparing the fish you just pulled out of the water as your heating up the grease on the side.....nothing more primal and beautiful than that.....
i'm not a big fisherman, but anyone ever thought of net-fishing the bayous? i live by Brays Bayou and there are a ton of fish there, some very good eating, i've heard. the guys i usually see are always fly fishing-way too technical for me-but i can't see why net fishing wouldn't yield a huge take. anyone have any ideas, or why that wouldn't work?
i know Dorthy is referring to shore salt-water fishing, but at least i'm on the topic of fishing lol.
Ever try wade fishing in the surf? free line a croaker on a #4 khale hook for trout. The fight is great 12lb test. Bigger bait - bigger fish. Reds/stingrays/catfish are bottom eaters and eat dead bait. Live bait is the trick
Love fishing in the surf for trout. Thing is - the water has to be damn near perfect. Trout are sight feeders - if the water is dirty, you're better off trying for reds.

The water really doesn’t have to be perfect clear in the surf. You just need current and bait. If the grout really depended on the water to be clear then they would starve to death in grown waters. I’ve fished in 2ft swells with the water doo doo Brown and still caught. Those waves will beat you up but when you have the trout fever it doesn’t matter!
Now I just perfer the swells to be 1ft and have current in the water. I usually cruise up and down the sea wall looking for bait action.
Catching these predators in their environment just makes it all worth it.
Fishing rollover and catching trout with mirrorlure is an awesome experience. Wade fishing the mouth of the pass for gator trouts is fishing at another level of excitement
Damn. i wanna see. you know which code or agency?
and why, btw? could feed the homeless with all that fish.
off topic, but i saw a sea turtle in Braes (Brays) Bayou. i was trolling it thinking it was a man-hole cover or something similar. i was like, "If you're a sea turtle, jus swim away." i went down to get a better look, and the damn thing swam away right before my eyes. never seen a man-hole cover do that..

Nets are legal only for taking bait.
But the water is always dirty lol and they still catch them but I've only seen them catch them at night under lights using lures.

Dude do you talk just to talk ? You have no idea about fishing so can you put a cork in it..
Gator Trout is a speckled trout 28inch or longer. These are the big boys that people aim to catch for tournaments
