On The Rocks Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Although not a fly fishing related goal....I achieved something I'm proud of. My fist Marlin. 85" White Marlin. Was down in the DR last week. I'm still overwhelmed with how amazing the ocean and the animals that live in it are, and the feeling I get when I catch and release one of them. I got away from SW fly fishing for the better part of a decade, and late last year I decided it was way too long so the surfcasting gear is getting a little rest this year. I dusted off some books from my library (Stripers & Streamers, Fly Fishing the Surf, Striper Moon, etc) and have been re-reading them and wondering how I let it go this long that I haven't fly fished. My 2019 goal is already underway....put the time in, and get back into SW fly fishing. I cant wait to knock off the rust and start casting soon. flyangler and The Graveyard Shift 2 Jersey Shore Surfcasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCH Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I started 2018 with two modest goals: to catch a brook trout, and to (finally) catch a fish on a wooly bugger. I achieved the latter in the spring - my first pickerel, to boot. I never caught a brook trout, but in fairness, I didn't go trout fishing. This year, I'll keep the brook trout on my list and add one more: catch a fish on a fly I tied.

Interesting the number involving TH gear, lines or techniques. @HillTop I was at the Container Store today and thought this reisenthel Nestbasket could make an interesting stripping basket, if you like them deep. Flexible, almost collapsible, but will maintain shape. All plastic construction makes it SW safe. Shape makes it appropriate for front or side positioning. For $13, add a belt, some zip ties at bottom, maybe a couple drain holes and it’s ready to go. Handles probably have to go, or held in downward position with some Velcro. Tom You can’t be serious. The ocean will have much fun with that basket at your expense. oly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUFly Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 -hoping to get into some Albies and redfish in NC. My last few trips have been affected by the weather. Hoping to do a trip late September. -catch some trout...I live near some pretty good trout waters, but haven't fished for trout in years. -catch a larger smallmouth...my biggest is around 4lbs, but I know there are bigger ones where I fish -gator bluefish...can never seem to reach them when they're around, and they never showed up where I fish in Jersey last year. -fish as much as possible without pissing the wife off too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
