We usually go offshore a couple of times a year when the wind settles down.

[jjtroutkiller]

This is the boat that I use in the bays around here, I also have a go-devil type rig that I use up the river.

Man.... look at the size of the head on that errrrr...... fish. :lol: :lol:

your gonna be spoiled now, with a fish that size as the first it'll be hard to top.

[minner skinner]

specs

[Larry G]

Mrmak............ been there, done that, except we set the' tip ups' up and went back to the house to watch for them flag. 54" Northern Pike was the largest. Had to re cut the hole to get him out. I think I was somewhere around that same height! :roll:

[Larry G]

First 'big fish' caught with fishingtx jugs. 10.5 Blue. Caught in the fog!

[dpiper]

Hey Larry,

It looks like that fog is emanating from your ears. What gives?

[Larry G]

That was one nasty day. Took a picture of the CPR but ya couldn't hardly see the water, much less the fish.

[Larry G]

Opps guys, got this all messed up. Oh well, I'm an old salt. does that count for anything? :lol:

[Thin Water Tracker]

Nice blue Larry !

[dwaynez]

Nice Looking Fish there Larry

[dwaynez]

Here is a pic for the new members of a 42lb Flathead caught on R&R at Gibbons Creek by my Brother in Law. The bait was live perch.

[dwaynez]

A few pics of some hybrids caught at Conroe while fishing with Randy on The CatfishBoat.

[Gentleben]

That catfishboat will put you on some fish and not necessarily catfish, that is some good looking fish dewaynez

[flatcats]

earyyyyyy?

Great pics Dwayne. I'd love to hook up with Randy and bring those home.

Steve

[dwaynez]

Randy is excellent at what he does, he puts you on fish and makes it fun. We had a blast on that trip we pulled in hybrids and white bass left and right. We caught lots of cats as well. Believe it or not all of those hybrids, whites, and cats were caught on chicken liver in 22ft of water.

[flatcats]

I didn't know a hybrid would hit cut bait except on a rare occaision.

[JACKALOPE]

Hibreds will eat liver, beef hearts and shad.
Earry??what's earry??

[JACKALOPE]

Hibreds will eat liver, beef hearts and shad.
Earry??what's earry??

[dwaynez]

They were going after the liver in a feeding frenzy, Randy has had good success when on a R&R trip for cats those whites and hybrids will come through and eat liver like it was a plump little shad. They hit aggresively and by the time the run was over everyone had tired arms from pulling them in left and right.

[flatcats]

Bubba "earyyyyy" It just was a stray word on Ben's post before he caught it and removed it.
Hey Bubba while I have you here, PM me would you please sir?

Dwayne, we have cherokee hybrids here so next time I get the chance I'll give what you said a go myself.

Ben, Neosporin is really good and all, but that really looked like it needed a stitch or two. Has a DR. seen it yet?

Steve

[dwaynez]

Steve
Good luck with the hybrids, man that frenzy we went through was amazing we caught 60+ that were keepers betweent the hybrids and the whites and threw back another 40 or so that were just under sized. The biggest hybrid went 11lbs, but several were 4-5lb range and 1` 6lber. The whites were all hefty in the 2lb+ range.

[dwaynez]

A word of advice to anyone who gets a cut or injury while on the water a simple fix that is temporary is to use super glue it will close up small wounds until you can get in to see a dr. If it is not a major injury the super glue will act like a liquid band-aid and keep you from bleeding.

[flatcats]

I'm on so many blood thinners that an injury on the water scares me to death. I didn't know you could do that with superglue. I have a spare tube and I think I'll just slip it in my tackle box next to the bandaids. Nice tip Dwayne, thanks.

Steve

[dwaynez]

Well I picked it up from a friend that plays football and he said the athletic trainers will use super glue to fix cuts and minor injuries, seems to act just like a band-aid.

I have used it for a long time when bowling. I used to bowl tournaments all the time and bowled as many as 300 games a week when preparing for tournaments. I bowled 5 nights a week in leagues as well in the past but now I only bowl one night a week. The wear and tear on your thumb is brutal so the way to toughen up the skin and repair cuts and tears is with superglue or stuff they call new skin. It is like liquid superglue that you put over the wound and it will seal it up real good.

When bowling a marathon tournament which consisted of 30 games straight my thumb took a beating so i used the new skin and placed a small cloth patch over the wound, then you light it on fire with a cigarette lighter to seal it completely, the stuff is flamable. It will seal up and keep your cut from reopening.

It is not a permanent fix, but it is a quick fix that will keep you from bleeding until you can get to shore if needed.

[dwaynez]

Ouch!!!

I don't think I will be trying that anytime soon.

[mrmakAUCTIONEER]

BOWLING??? mmmm must be gettin all tore up on the elbows and knees slidin on all them hardwood floors. never heard of any one cuttin themselves bowling har har, good one bro

[dwaynez]

LOL

The cuts mainly happen on the fingers and the thumb due to wear and tear from lifting on the ball to generate a hook. I throw a large hook and it takes a toll on the fingers and thumb.

A quick fix for swelling that I learned from bowling is to take a potato and cut a hole in the center large enough to put your thumb in. Let your thumb sit for a while and the potato will draw out the swelling.

[Thin Water Tracker]

D. even the Doc's are using it a lot I. A friend of mine got hit by a five foot black tip this past summer and they gave him 8 stitches and used super glue on six other hole the thing left in his hand. In fact the holes that they used the super glue on did a lot better than the one they stitched. He said if he had a choice next time somethhing like that happen we would have them all glue if he could. I hopes it wont be on a shark bite again he has been fishing them for 20 year and that was the first time he had been hit.

[dwaynez]

TWT

that would be scary to have a shark bite into you. The super glue thing works great because it will seal the wound and keep it together while it heals. Most Football players and basketball players use it when they take an elbow or a hit to the face. If you look at most players who get stitches and come back to the game they cover it with superglue to keep it protected and keep it from bleeding.

[Thin Water Tracker]

I'll I have to say I have been hit two time but both times they were small ones. three foot and two foot and only got a finger but both were to the bone. Needless to say I got a longer hook remover after the second one. Both time I didn;t know I was hit till we seen the blood.

[Gentleben]

I don't do sharks, the bite looks too ficsous.

[dwaynez]

TWT

I have seen a lot of fishing shows and talked to lots of people who say the bite is quick and you don't feel it at first because those teeth are so sharp.

I have been hit a few times by Alligator Gar, they pack a punch and have enough teeth to do some damage.

[dwaynez]

I know what you mean Ben, too many teeth for me and besides they can swim a lot faster than me.

[mrmakAUCTIONEER]

I don't do sharks, the bite looks too ficsous.

them under 4 footer is sure some good eatin in steaks. :shock: :oops: :!:

[dwaynez]

MrMak
that is one of my goals this year is to catch a shark. I have never fished for them, but I plan on getting down to the coast and catching a few this year.

[dpiper]

So much for the Salty Pics.

[mrmakAUCTIONEER]

trick to catchin em is dont put em in da boat kinda like puttin a scratchin cat inna box and shakin im up before opening it. them sharks chase ya in da boat. If yer gonna keep em trick is shoot on the outside of the boat. if yer gonna release em trick is cut im loose, while its hangin on the outside of the boat.trick to cleanin em is pull the knife blade upwords from inside of the skin out. pretty good trick tryin to carve a slice across that good boot hide from the outside. they have one backbone and carlidge, no small bones, 1 inch thick steaks, pan fried er barbeQed. pretty good eatin.

[dwaynez]

LOL

Piper that is true, the pics seem to be missing.

[dwaynez]

MrMak

sounds good. I fished out of Galveston a few years back adn everyone on our boat was catching tuna and snapper. The other boat that was in shallow water was pulling in sand sharps and black tip sharks left and right. I watched them fillet the sharts at the pier and they fillet them like you mentioned and cut them into steaked sections.

[Thin Water Tracker]

There is a trick to cleaning and cooking shark. The meat will start going bad soon as you put it on ice and in some cases before that if not cleaned right. And if you ever had shark that was cleaned wrong you'll never want shark on your plate again. Sharks is ok fried but the best way I found was on the pit. It's holds up good to the open pit. In a way they are like the catfish of the sea. they clean up what other wont eat. Every year a lot of people waste them by killing them and leave them on the beach front or floating out the sea. It a shame that they have been knocked down to the numbers they have been. but this was due mainly by the fin boat from overseas.

[dwaynez]

I have had shark steaks before and they were excellent cooked on a plank board with some good seasoning.

TWT
do you have any info on the proper cleaning methods to keep the meat tasting good, if so could you post for the rest of us?

[htwndug]

Here is a nice red caught in Baffin Bay june of 05.

[Larry G]

A word of advice to anyone who gets a cut or injury while on the water a simple fix that is temporary is to use super glue it will close up small wounds until you can get in to see a dr. If it is not a major injury the super glue will act like a liquid band-aid and keep you from bleeding.

Ever hear of Vibrio? Let me explain.

The bacteria is more concentrated in places that receive little tidal flow, such as shallow ponds and lakes connected to a bay. The bacteria also likes brackish water, where salt and fresh water mix. What it doesn't survive well in is salty water such as that in the Gulf, or bay areas that receive good tidal flow. That's not to say the bacteria won't be found in these areas, it just won't be as concentrated.

V. vulnificus not only enters the body through cuts or punctures from infected surfaces, raw or inadequately cooked seafood on which it is present can also cause a problem. Even healthy people can suffer from gastroenteritis if they eat seafood contaminated with this organism. For those with liver disease, it is fatal 50% of the time.

People in high risk groups, including the elderly, those with impaired liver function, diabetes, or who use immunosuppressive drugs or steroids, or on chemo, are particularly susceptible to infection from v. vulnificus. Since alcohol impairs the liver's ability to fight infection, that too should be considered a risk factor, particularly if consumed while on the water.

The suggested approach preventing an infection is to generously clean any wound (A wound includes a rash or blister, say from waders or shoes.) with hydrogen peroxide and/or apply an anti-bacterial ointment, such as a triple antibiotic cream. It's a very good idea to have these two items available while on the water so there is no delay in treatment.

Once in the body and an infection takes hold, the organism spreads very rapidly and can double in numbers in a matter of every 20 to 30 minutes. Doctors advise seeking immediate medical attention if symptoms of a spreading infection such as expanding redness, fever and pain occur. If you develop these symptoms that means not waiting until morning to see if it gets better.

The season for V. vulnificus infections begins in earnest when bay waters start to warm. On the Gulf coast, this will begin in March and usually peak by mid-October.

Anyone growing up on the Gulf coast probably remembers being told that saltwater was good for healing open wounds. Football practice always meant bloody knees and elbows so it was a good reason to go swimming or wadefishing at every opportunity. I don't know if it made any difference as far as healing goes, but I sure wouldn't try it anymore. I keep a small bottle of antibacterial soap and Peroxide in the boat. I would never want to use superglue to close an open wound in the boat. If it's bad enough to superglue it shut, better just get to the first aid cabinet and get that thing cleaned. Keep a close eye on it for redness and swelling. If it gets bad, get to the doctor for a blood culture.trap bacteria inside a wound. Nothing beats a clean towel and pressure to stop bleeding.
