  1. So far the the beautiful surfing weather combined with very strong riptides have made it impossible to do any surf fishing at all. But yesterday my son and I went on a charter. It was on a 25 foot open boat called “God’s Gift”,with local fisherman named Jason. For 4 hours he shared his experience and laid back good attitude with us. He took us to a small island with strong currents running around it. We trolled at about 6 knots with surface lures over a rocky bottom. We ended up with a few black tuna,a Jack trevalle and 5 Mahi-mahi’s. A mahi-mahi is like a steam train hitting the lure and they are fighters, they must be killed before boating them because they will trash everything in the boat. We also caught a few brown boobies which kept on dive bombing the lures. All in all a great day.
  2. After having spent a day in San Jose we flew to Tambor in mini puddle jumper and from there on we continued to Malpais over dirt roads in a rented Toyota Land Cruiser. Our house is right on the beach about fifty yards away from the surf. So far family obligations have prevented me from escaping with rod and reel in hand, this afternoon looks like I will hit a local fishing village and try my luck on its pier.Later this week I will hit the waves with a local charter. They’ve told me that the mahi-mahi is inshore and they showed me a few 5 foot Mathis that they were cleaning. I will keep you guys updated. Cornelis.
  3. If they are serious about that, they would have radiated all the stocked fish in order to render them sterile. The fact that they did not do this is a sign that they do not care about inhibiting fertility in introduced species.
  4. Did it help create natural reproduction?
  5. You've got a pm.
  6. It sure looks like you enjoyed. It must have been the trip of a lifetime.

    for sale : usa Longshaft Suzuki 9.9 kicker

    I did buy it from Money Shot. It is just too heavy to put on a bracket and trailer with it. You might say that the buying was compulsive and buyers remorse set in. I will have to sell it and get an 8 horse Tohatsu instead. That Suzuki is worth every cent I paid for it and then some, but it was the wrong choice for me.

  9. What I do not like about gun ownership in the USA is the lack of sensible safety measures. Where I come from (Israel) we had a system where every gun owner would have to come to a shooting range once a year. We had a refresher on all the safety rules and then we had to practice our skills. Before firing a single shot the instructor inspected every single gun brought to the range for cleanliness and proper working order. Then we had to fire at least 12 bullets to make sure that we still knew what to do. At the end of this short course the gun permits were renewed by the instructor. If you did not participate in these classes your gun permit would be revoked and your gun would be confiscated. In order to get it back you would have to go through the new gun owners course which was much longer than the refresher. This system is based on the army setup where every person coming up for reserve duty has to be reacquainted with the weapons they are supposed to use.

  16. You are completely right. I stopped reading too early.
  17. I am very interested,but I need to know if it is a short shaft or a long shaft.
  18. It says: " it means that if you want a residential hunting license in Minnesota ". In my eyes that means that if you are a North Dakota resident, you should get an out of state (non resident) Minnesota permit. not a residential one.You cannot claim residence in 2 states
  19. The whole thing is an effort to weaken and discredit our democratic system in order to discourage pro democracy movements in their own countries Wherever they can sow discord they will in order to weaken us and thereby their own internal opposition groups. Dems and GOP should stand united against this effort to divide us. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  20. I can see your conflict,but as long as we cannot produce enough energy by using solar and wind we must make do with the next best solution. The plant went from coal fired to gas and biomass and although that is less than ideal it is better than coal or oil. Would you rather have had a few giant wind mills on the floating island in the middle of Seneca Lake?
  21. This was not a democratic party supported ad, although that is what some questionable groups would want you to believe. The ad was probably paid for by Russia or China or North Korea.
  22. Hobies can be outfitted with outriggers. I used one in Hawaii for surf fishing, it was very stable and next to impossible to flip over. That might be a good safety measure in cold weather. The kits go for less than $200 which makes it a great investment
  23. wire gets you deeper with less line
