Good morning/afternoon/evening.

How are you bro

How are you bro

I'm doing pretty well, Other than having a mysterious clog in my sewer than only backs up when you've taken a shower. Almost think the pipes have a build up on the inside... I'll be pouring some stuff called "Clobber" down the drains this afternoon to see if I can cancel the plumber and save some cash.
A whole bottle of lye did nothing, maybe Clobber will, Since it's just slightly diluted sulfuric acid lol

@Weed Warrior @Jraven @trailanimal I noticed that back a ways you guys were talking about fishing for rockfish. As I'm sure you guys know, rockfish were and still are a salt water species. Here in Va, They have always been one of the great sport fish in the Chesapeake Bay until over fishing just about wiped them out......after 10-15 years of strictly enforced weight and slot limits, they are coming back strong.

Another thing they did was find out that rockfish could thrive in fresh water for their whole lives. After quite a bit of study, VA Fish and Wildlife stocked several of our large lake impoundments with them and within 10 years we had another great freshwater sport fish! It worked out well because they use a completely different part of the lakes than does the largemouth bass which is the other apex predator fish......Rockfish love the deep water and hunt shad the same way they do in the ocean.......they chase them into a compact ball and then blast through them, knocking out as many fish as they can. If you see water "boiling" out in the middle of the lake, get over there and cast a big minnow or shad plug right in the middle of the boil. If you are lucky you can tie into a rockfish weighing between 20-30lbs! Most rockfish are caught this way or by accident while fishing for another species. You haven't lived until you tie into a big rockfish with ultra light tackle that you were using to fish for crappie or bass!

Cool stuff!! Thanks for the info on the rockfish!!

I didn't know they could do fresh water. Do any of your species match mine? There are at least 10 different kinds here. They were in trouble for a while here the management got a little behind on them before they realized there was a problem...the commercial fishing was pretty unregulated previously.
We see the black ones doing the boil all the time pretty cool and those are the ones we catch incidently with the commercial salmon gear. I do know how to avoid them for the most part but I'll sometimes get one or two they are good eating

Talking fishing again? Excellent. Where I am they call’m stripers and are quite prevalent in one of the deeper lakes. We troll for them with spoons during the day and at night cast around the lighted docks with little curly tail jigs. My ex wife has the family record that pushed 10lbs. Some great times I tell ya!!

I’d love to catch a saltwater rockfish/striper some day. For now, Snook is on my agenda in the next few years.

She got the boat at divorce though but I ended up with the house!! Damn I miss that boat more than anything. :/
