The catfish in our rivers will turn their heads into the current and just swim in the opposite direction and not come up till you crank em to the surface. They can pull like a damn tractor
It's an all day trolling thing......As long as it ain't no 4-5 hour boat trip to go fish for them i'm down
How far do you guys have to go out(average) to get them?
Our Flathead cats get huge. A 44 pounder was caught in the Apalachicola River, and there have been some caught in Alabama and Georgia almost twice as big. Most of the small towns around here have a Flathead Tourney now.
How's the bluefin fishing on the west coast?
about the same, some years are good some not so good. A lot of the san diego boats go down to Mexico after yellow fin tuna..
The biggest I know of caught around here in eastern n.c. was a 47 pounder caught several years ago below a lock and dam by a kid fishing with chicken livers. Catfish love rotten chicken livers just because they smell so bad
That's pretty much what sturgeon do. But they are usually way bigger though
Atlantic blue fin are big money fish off our coast. The Japanese pay big money for fatty tuna.
Way,way bigger!That's pretty much what sturgeon do. But they are usually way bigger though
Thats some bucket list shit right there!
The fishing offshore is great but you better be prepared for a wild ride out sometimes!
Our blue fin fishing is good but all so dependent on cooler water temps. We have big bluefin like you guys but we have Deepwater where as you guys hook them in a couple hundred feet of water and chase them down. The rods out here just get emptied.
At last years blue rock turny the biggest marlin was almost 900lbs and was disqualified because one of the mAates didn't have the proper liscence. A couple hundred thousand lost because of a liscence.Thats some bucket list shit right there!
That and actually landing a blue marlin. Fished for them a few times, but no luck
Our El Nino of 93 when our lakes were over flowing they were kicking out 10 fish cat fish limits over 250 pounds . 70 - 80 pound blue catfish were the norm . Lakes Hodges kicked out a 110 pound Blue.
Sailfish?......Acapulco....back when you could vacation in Mexico...Thats some bucket list shit right there!

I fished for them a few times out of kona hawaii. They've got lots of granders there over the years.
They only come up and bite when the rivers turns the lakes over to chocolate mud . You fish them at the river entrance to the lake in the current in about 5 ft of water.
