Happy Saturday

May 4, 2024: Some of you, My people, are more creative than others, but everyone is creative in his own way and genre. Some of you have neglected your gift by being immersed in the stark reality of undesirable world conditions. Allow your creativity to be a place of solace and of allowing spiritual reality to kick in. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, says the Lord. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
 
My cousin lives in Cleveland and uses his rods. Loves them, he does a lot of flipping and cranking and always talks about how sensitive they are. I used to use All-Star many moons ago and absolutely loved them, especially their 7 6 flipping stick. Now they're garbage of course since Shakespeare bought them. But my cousin tells me nothing is like those customs he uses. I have to say though, my Kistlers are very light and very sensitive. Between you and him, I may have to try a Joe burns custom rod. Have you fished with a Kistler helium?
I have used a bunch and have settled on Dixie Custom’s out of LaFollette. I know the owner and he is a good person who makes a quality rod. I give them as presents and everyone loves his work. Would love to try out the gentlemen in Cleveland. I do a lot of ledge fishing. I love C-rig on a ledge. WoLudwig like to see what he offers there. is there a website?

When fishing for Rainbow Trout what bait do you use?

I usually try using RedWorms then if that doesn't work go to using Corn.
 
One thing I do have on my bucket list is to go deep sea fishing one time.

Any of you high rollers every done it?
Not a high roller. I went once back in 90's. Its super expensive.

There's two types a) fishing off the bottom **** - more tightly regulated. Snapper, etc.

b) fish for fun/trolling. Mahi, Jack, King Mack.

There are some that will chum to boat, grab S14 and throw something of this nature.

Back in college bought an epoxy wheel. Got somewhat decent at it. Now, that's not one of my flies. But, could tie surf candy, and epoxy heads over whip finish. Great for brown trout, spanish macks, or toothy critters.

As far as conventional tackle. Panther Martins. Remember fish see colors differently under water, or contrasts.

I like chartreuse, white, and brown with flecks. Or rainbow with flecks. IMG_6535.png
May want to get treble hooks.
 
Doesn't matter how far offshore. Just would like to experience the rush one time.
My understanding is that OBX is closest in proximity, ergo likely cheaper for charters IMG_6536.jpeg
For instance, in HHI we had an 10-18 mile ride one way . Also, fishing is prob better in OBX. Maybe look at Charter out of Ponce, Daytona. Red Snapper season would be 👍🏻

Thanks for information and help. May have to dip into retirement money and take a relaxing trip with my son, he loves fishing as much as I do.

Invol may know more. But my thoughts (based on my buddy, who's buddy's third house is in OBX 🙄) is to walk to docks and see if you can either tag along on a Charter for X amount, or, get a group together.

Good luck.

Every time I'm in the OBX and want to go out to fish there's rain. It never fails. Also that map of the gulf stream is slightly wrong. The stream follows the entire NA Atlantic Coast hits Iceland and the goes down to the UK and Hispania

I've been twice and won't do it again. We would drop baits straight down, hook up, and then crank up the fish as fast as possible so a shark wouldn't get it. Not a big deal until you crank up a 7ft shark and your arms feel dead. We also trolled some. That style of fishing just doesn't do anything for me. I absolutely love inshore saltwater fishing for reds, trout, and flounder...especially on my kayak. I think it's more rewarding and more relaxing than offshore fishing.
