Fishing?

I love fishing. Been fishing since I could hold a rod. I fish both fresh and salt water. More salt than fresh. Here are a few catches from last summer.

I love to fish but do almost all of it from a kayak. I love fishing in the Gulf as well as river and waterway fishing here in southwest Florida. Last Saturday I caught two salt water Trout that were almost 30" That is my personal best.

If I wasn't building the chicken coop for my wife, I'd be fishin'. I usually go out and fish all night on my pontoon. Here's my large fish web page: Lizard's James River Catfish
I'm part of a national catfish club and also the local rep for Virginia.

Also if you haven't figured it out.....that's why my user name is "River Lizard"....I'm on the river all the time and I use to raise quite a few lizards about 5 years ago.
 
Were headed out to Smith Mountain lake for some night catfishing tonight so.....If we get any biggun's I'll post a pic here.

We love to fish. My hubby and I fished in local tournaments for several years together. We fished Phillpott Lake, Bugs Island, Smith Mountain Lake, and my favorite is Leesville Lake where I won my first tournament. We took lunker and most pounds that day.

I have different fish then you guys lol but here is my prize winner, hubby was proud to say the least! I had to sit down on the floor of the boat and brace myself against the side to get this baby in!!! Saltwater fish are so much smarter than fresh it's not even funny!!!

Try to ignore the bad hair and bikini lol and always wear sunblock, I had the WORST sunburn EVER after this trip!!! I forgot I was closer to the equator and the rays are different here... Yikes, it hurt so bad!!!

Not sure about lake fishin' for catfish but on the James the spawn is going on so it's not really worth fishin' right now, the only thing you'll catch is males and usually they're not that large. It's one of the main reasons I'm not fishing right now. But once the three week of June rolls around, I'll be back out there every weekend night fishin' until cold weather arrives.
