I know a guy who carries a small inflatable boat in a backpack and has exclusive access to some awesome fishing.
I'm too old and out of shape for that shit...

On my first open water dive our group went to the New River. It was hike in only for miles.

At about 50ft we ran into a small school of catfish. They were huge. I guess they were 6ft or more long and had heads as big as a beach ball. It was cool watching them swim in and out of the crevices of the river bank.

When we surfaced we happened to see a guy fishing from a small boat. It looked similar to this

There was not much room for him to sit in.

The guy asked "Where are the big ones?" I had to laugh. All I could think of was if he caught any of the ones we saw he would have one hell of a ride.

You're not telling me new tricks, ever walked around the shore with a fly reel and wait for one leap out of the grass and hook himself up for bait?

I was talking about catching bass on plastic frogs but yes I've hooked plenty of big bull frogs for eating using flys.

Cool man I rock those plastics but keep a eye open for the antiques. Ive read some lure books that are hitting like 1200$ . Still one at a familiar gas station never asked the owner if I could buy

My dad actually has a couple boxes of his grandfathers lures. Might be some gold in there.

Meh. Never come across anybody here. Its an isolated pond that's a bitch to get to. And even if you do there's no fishing the shore. Too over grown. I gotta work pretty hard to get my kayak in there. That being said, It's some autos I'm not even sure i wanna grow. If someone were to happen upon them I won't be hurting.

Southern Ohio has this type of pond fishing. Old reclaimed coal mining property. Long walk (2+ miles) (no veh) to hundreds of ponds with brush grown up tight to water's edge. I've seen pics of guys using some type of hauler for kayaks that looked pretty practical. But there are access roads. They also use those inflatable inner tube type setups. Some of the biggest LM bass in the state.

Ya just gotta clear a path to the water...

I had to get up early today for a doctors appointment in the next town over. Communist health care has me shopping around to try and cut down the wait times down a few months. I couldn't sleep in time so I just got shitfaced wasted. It also cured all my ills so I don't need to go to the doctor anymore. It's a win win.

Ha that screen image alone reminded me of Robert redfords newer flick Think it was called lost at sea. reminded me of you. Also my good ole boy golden retriever recognizes his name Robert Redford,, Jeremiah Johnson , He's also known as "what's up dude" and The big lebowski, also The boss, and other shit but he's smart like that

I used to kyak fish and we have Nantucket sleigh rides around here.. I've been pulled for over an hour its a blast until the cut back and wrap you up in the paddles and well your best to just cut the line at that point.. I retired yak fishing because its fucking nuts when the stripper season opens up a Buncha yahoos running kyaks over and shooting seals with shotguns its just mayhem as it draws the great whites in for a free meal

I'm in central Ohio. I've fished the southern side of the state a lot. Also try to get to lake Erie at least once a year for walleye.
Edit....my buddy has 50 acres a few hours south of columbus that we hunt and fish all the time.

Awe, so cute! I love Alf and the kitty cat is so cute!! I bet she loves to get scratched and petted and purrs a lot. She looks so sweet!

Stripper season? Damn, where do I sign up?

As for shooting seals, you go to jail in these parts for stuff like that unless you're Alaskan Native.

We had a dubbed version of ALF (was actually funnier than the original), I remember him always trying to hypnotize the house cat, Lucky.
You are no longer a cat, you are now a hotdog!.

I don't get why people shoot animals. Imagine them just walking around having a nice time, then BAM, some arsehole with too much time on his hands shoots you.

 

[Dr.Amber Trichome]

I am not a hunter myself but I know a lot of people that are really into it. I think it’s a thing that’s passed down in family’s like a bonding thing. Dragging dead animal parts out of the forest seems like a lot of work and people get injured all the time lifting and hauling the carcasses. My coworker hunts and she just had twins and they are already getting dressed up in little hunting outfits.

Everyone should kill something they're going to eat at least once, preferably as a kid. It can give a deeper respect for both animals and your food. I know too many people who disassociate animals from food and treat it like any other disposable commodity. When you realize something gave it's life so you could survive, you think twice about just discarding it.

Plus the smell of disemboweling it, that's nice too.

I agree, it is very important to understand the full cost of what you are eating and what it paid for your survival.
