salt water fishing

any of you gentelmen fishing salt water- or the intracoastal

YEP! middle Tx coast.ICW/Bays/Little surf...cva34

Yep. Mangrove backcountry and the flats on the gulf coast of florida

CVA-- USS Oriskany (CV/CVA-34) --- yes?

Marine here 1958/1962 com eng

i think i enjoy fishing the grass flats most of all -- love those red drum-and sea trout

Flats and backwater for me :beer:

Offshore and inshore and jetty hoppin for me


Going tonight to see how the stripers are doing

I've fished from the Pamlico Sound at the NC OBX, to the Santee River Delta.
Grew up fishing Little River Inlet, Cherry Grove, and the ICW from Little River to Sunset Beach, NC. I suck at freshwater fishing....I can't even catch a bream half the time. But when it comes to saltwater, I'm pretty good at what I do!

We surf fish for big sharks a few times a year. Wish I lived closer to the ocean because I would do it all the time if I could.

All saltwater here, my inshore consists of stalking the flats in the st. pete area for reds,snook, trout, flounder, or anthing else that bites....mostly live bait sight casting. Offshore for gag grouper, snapper, reef donkeys, etc, but my true passion is billfish......nothing like blue marlin. Hey one of you guys had the pleasure of serving on the Mighty O......My dad was on that ship when they flew the first sorties in 64.....I have a really cool yearbook from his first tour of nam from that timeframe.

64-- seems the Marines were flying F4 phantoms- cource i got out in 62 so they may have changed by then-

btw where is CVA64 the mighty O

Well I wont bust your chops too much for being along for the ride......but in all seriousness thank you very much for your service. I also served in the Navy for 6 years with an honorable discharge. One of the bucket list to do's will be to dive the Mighty O and video her for my father. He served as the flight ops yeoman two tours in Viet Nam. The history channel has a great documentary on the history all the way to the sinking of the Mighty O.

well we did need the ride- and a taxi is a taxi -

a fitting end to a great ship- not more shots fired in anger- i salute the ship and all the men who served on her- Semper Fi

I fish out of Monterey Bay, Calf. Fish for Rock fish, Halibut, Salmon & my favorite White Sea Bass.

mid coast texas 99% saltwater...i think cva34 knows what im talkin about!

We've been having some REALLY nice days on the water this past week, fishing for trout, here's our most recent video:

LOL, be sure to watch it toward the end, my girlfriend has a nice one hooked up, but it got off the hook, listen to her comment :LOL2:

I felt bad for her, I know the feeling, lost quite a few nice ones myself, but, there's always tomorrow!
