FISHING THREAD... pics wanted!

pics of how I have my set up with a few fish pictures. Other than the tower with the rocket launchers, I can take everything off the boat easily, everything is on a track system or removable base, so you can separate pleasure from fishing! LOL

Now THAT is some good eating! (but you're cheating. that is not your Sea Ray you are on)
What you be talking about Willis? Not sure what you mean by not my sea ray, that is absolutely my boat????

Comment intended for The Bill Collector, not you True North...

Great pics BTW!
 
Nice Set up TRUE NORTH. Sorry BLASTER for not crediting you on the flounder - looks like Bill Collector and you chase the same species. There's a fun Youtube video to watch fishing for flounder with Bacon in a kayak!:
 
Great thread! I continue to look for a '04-'09 280 Sundancer that I can make work for salmon fishing out of Grand Haven. I prefer flush mount rod holders like I have on my 270 AJ, but due to the battery switches on the port side, the only option (I think) is to go with the track system.
I too would be curious to see if anyone else has retrofitted a 280 DA for fishing...I love the lay out/seating of these boats!
 
OK reviving an old thread to show off dead fish pictures. I had the best day salmon fishing on Georgian Bay in years. I was out for about 2 or 3 hrs and they were on fire. We can only use one rod per person on G. Bay and I was solo this AM. So no big spreads. Just one rod with a flasher and home cut sardine cut bait. I filled the cooler with 3 and then C&R for a couple more. Several on that didn’t make it to the boat. Cool sunny morning.

THe big one was just under 20, then about 15 and 12. Made a big pot of salmon chowder (with sweet corn) for dinner, vacuum sealed/froze a batch and the rest are hitting the smoker in about an hour. Decided to skip today, but will go out tomorrow AM again. This is the time of year that they are staging in specific areas and one is nice and close to our marina. Only problem is that its not a huge area. Maybe 1.5miles by 3 or 4. So it gets crowded with boats. Hopefully tomorrow’s rain/wind will keep the little guys off the water and leave some space for me.
 
First time I have seen this post. Didn't realize there was others on this forum that shared a passion for fishing. Although a bit of an ugly duckling, our boat spends a large part of it's time on the water doing just that. We picked up a 13.5' inflatable jet boat that we will be pulling behind the Sea Ray to extend our range from sea into some of the many wild rivers along the BC coast. Heading out this weekend with them both for 5 days to check it out. Hopefully get into some wild steelhead and find a moose for the freezer. Here's a few picks of some of the critters we like to harvest.

Wow!! Which was more difficult to crank up, that cod or the butt ?

I posted this on another thread, but I only had an opportunity to fish once this year and it was on my buddy’s Amberjack. Unfortunately mine had issues most of the Summer.
These aren’t big, but they tasted great. In MN/WI we say, “Good eaters”, when they’re not that big. ;)

Both put up a pretty good scrap but the halibuts generally more. We normally target them at depths from about 225-350'. The larger halibut will usually pull you back down to the bottom 2 or 3 times before bringing them to the surface.
In BC we have a size restriction of 133 cm for sport fisherman. Only the females grow above that length so are returned for breeding stock. The one in the pic was bang on the 133. Probably about 70 lbs or so. We released 3 this year that were too big to keep. Two of them were obvious enough to not leave the water. It can get pretty interesting hanging over the side of the boat while releasing an upset one that's over 100 lbs.

Those are the best size Lake Trout to eat. Nice and mild and not as fatty/oily as the "greasers" as we call them down here. When I get them over 5lbs or so, they go on the smoker or cedar planked like salmon.
