    FISHING VENT, or what the heck happened to my life?

    "Necessity is the mother of invention." If you want it bad enough you can find a way to make it happen. It is just whether or not you have the will to find that way seperates those who reach their goals from those who do not. Also, You can spend your time wishing it where, or invest your...

    FISHING VENT, or what the heck happened to my life?

    MTS, I really hope real life doesn't get in the way of your dreams. Also, please watch how you word things. You are not and will not be "better" than anybody else.

    FISHING VENT, or what the heck happened to my life?

    I feel your pain. I am 31 and married with 3 kids. Fishing for me now is something that happens every once in while. Used to fish everyday. I have been working in the fishing guide industry in Alaska since I was 13. Last couple of years have been tough being away from Alaska fishing, but my...

    Largemouth bass taking?

    Look into your regs for your state and area. Please don't go out and break the law. The law breakers are the ones that actually make the laws more harsh for everybody else. Don't weigh your options by how much a fine might be. Trust me it is not worth it. That fish and game violation may...

    Largemouth bass taking?

    Just because you never got in trouble doesn't mean it is right to do it. The students that I teach try to use this excuse all the time.

    Buffalo Bayou & Lake Corpus Christi -- Freshwater Prawns

    I have definately seen M. carcinus in the local fish shops, can't say that I've seen it the Buff, but I don't go looking for them either. Sounds like a great project. Hope you have success!

    FISHING SEASON 2K10!!!!!!

    Man I gotta tell you... Every update you give I'm finding myself rooting for Dennis. As much as he fishes with you one would think he'd pick up some tips. Poor guy, maybe we should make some Team Dennis shirts and his luck will improve.

    Food For An Oscar

    Tetra sticks suck because of the mess. I use ken's and hikari as well as the treat of worms, crickets, some crawfish. They also like peas. Remember to vary the diet a bit.

    Guilty?

    I don't think you should be feeling guilty. But you should be making it up by either chipping in some cash for the bill or doing some extra chores. As a parent of teens, the extra chores will be very much appreciated.

    how old?

    6 or 7 with a gold fish bowl. i would catch stickelbacks from the pond across the street to stock it. Also had a goldfish that lived in an old mcdonalds jackolantern box (remember those). First real tank was at 13 and was a 20g and started with a few tiger barbs, a gourami, a couple neons and...

    Any FIN cutters out there?

    Even if I was filty rich I wouldn't spend 5k on a single fish. I can't think of a fish out there that I would enjoy having enough to drop that sorta money on. I would most definatley build huge habitats and have some monsters like the 50k gallon tank apman has, but rich or not 5k is 5k. Rich...

    Any FIN cutters out there?

    I agree with fin chopping being like docking ears, not a big fan. If the fish is alive and healthy just let it be. If you can't stand it, find it an owner who will. As for it being a 5 grand prized fish.... wow, wouldn't even ever think about buying something like that even if I had that kind...

    Fishing lakes with a salty pole?

    I agree the cheeks are great. Salmon nuggets. I like to split the head then salt and bake it. Don't forget the eye balls. No kidding, those are real nice.

    Oscar in 55 gallon

    Why do you think they require a 5 footer? I mean I agree that bigger is always better, but a 100 gallon tank for a single oscar.

    For Gator Gar keepers, Kinda makes you mad

    Our body kills a ton of potential invaders every day. Yes, single celled organisims and viruses can kill us, be will sure do kill a lot more of them. And we have large screen tvs.

    Oscar in 55 gallon

    You can do a single oscar in a 55. It is not ideal and needs a lot of work. You won't be able to have any other tankmates in there when the fish is larger. If you are serious about an oscar go for a 75 or look at a smaller fish.

    Spider Wire - Stealth Braid

    I've been fishing once or twice :). Braid is not garbage, you may just not know how to effectively use it. You have problems with fluoro? You know it goes on the reel right? Mono is great but there are many different levels of quality and old used mono of any quality is crap.

    Spider Wire - Stealth Braid

    try using a mono or floro leader. Braid has its uses and mono has some as well. Most fishing is done well with mono. Fishing deep (over 80 feet)mono is not practical as it stretches far to much. and serious fisherman don't need to change out the their spool every weekend, just take care of...
