How do you get the "Fishy" taste out of trout?
TyeeTanic replied to Speedy's topic in Fish & Game Recipes
I put it into a ziplock (unfrozen) at least 24h before I want to cook, and add chopped garlic, chopped onion, parsley, olive oil (couple of teaspoons), fish seasoning (of you're liking ... or you can just use salt, black pepper, dill, oregano), squeeze of lemon, a squirt of balsamic vinegar ... and then top it up so the fish is fully submerged with a good white wine (pinot grigio is good). Shake it up to mix the contents and let that baby soak for 24h. I then transfer the fish onto a cedar plank to cook ... and I keep basting with that "broth in the bag" every say 10 min ... especially closer to the end. Once finished, add a few thin slices of butter to melt over the fish and enjoy. -
Agreed. Bogo grip on a rope, as quickly as possible (keep photo time to a minimum ... 1 to 2 shots at most), troll with them hanging off the back. Go back to your normal fishing stuff. Once you see them shaking their heads, release boco grip, and most of the time, if their gills haven't been damaged ... they are good to go.

I think for a charter captain ... the only way it works is if you love what you are doing. Because you aren't going to get rich being a charter captain.

Braided wire is the way to go ... 30lb, 7 strand is good enough. It cuts through the fleas. You can take your chances with 30lb braid, but there will come a time where it will become unusable due to fleas. Never use mono ... you won't be able to put enough line on the reel (you want minimum 700 ft, preferably 1000 ft). Some days you need to set them deep and you'll have 300 ft out just trolling ... and then a salmon hits and takes another 300 ft. Mono stretches WAY too much, and you won't be able to pop the dipsey if you need to retrieve the line.

Early season, leadcore ... 5 color, 8 color. Mid to late season, 300' and 500' copper.

Wow, awesome video. Seems like you have it pretty nailed down.

Adding snap weights to copper.
TyeeTanic replied to VooDoo's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
NOTHING. I used to add drop weights onto my mono line to get some depth for trolling shallow in early season ... 1 oz, 2 oz, 3 oz does nothing to counter the drag ... you need much heavier to do anything ... then it becomes akward trying to hang all that weight on the line ... so the solution is TORPEDO DIVERS. Torpedo Diver – Angling Sports Cuda is 12 oz ... and the profile reducing the drag. You can attach using an OR16 clip (not on the copper ... you'll need to put it on the leader, or on a braid section). If you don't have downspeed and depth (Fishhawk) ... then just attach it all together with tackle but without the hook ... and go out and see where it bottoms out at 2 mph. Start with adding the cuda dive depth to the copper dive depth, and work your way in shallower until you hit bottom. -
Braid does attract fleas, at least the 30 lb stuff does ... you won't be happy with that in the middle of summer. I don't have experience on using 65 lb ... I believe I read that if the braid diameter is big enough, it helps with fleas ... just don't recall at what size. The other idea is to use 40lb mono ... fleas won't stick. Now, the issue will be line stretch, and elasticity, but perhaps this heavy gauge line and a short length of it to simply get around your storage requirements could be okay. You'll need to test it to see if it works. Now the question you ask is about the knot ... for braid you could use an albright knot, for mono I'd think you'd need a barrel swivel ... and then you have to worry about your top line guide ... whether you don't damage it ... twillie tip would help a lot. Anyhow, it's a good question ... it's not a simple solution, some trial and error required.

Sliders getting stuck on leader connection?
TyeeTanic replied to Car-Lee514's topic in Finger Lakes Discussion
Yup, large snap swivel to connect slider to the main line ... all you need that snap swivel to do is stop at the main line lure ... it can be fairly big to still do that! -
Ahhh, too bad doesn't ship to Canada!

I've tried everything ... when it gets into the "middle" of that eissenglass ... forget it. Plexus will only take care of a tarnished surface ... but if the material is going through the thickness of it, it won't do anything. It happens, especially if water sits on it ... and the only thing you can do is replace the eissenglass.
-
Black, don't get caught on the gimmicks ... I used to, then I removed that variable, by spray painting all my dipseys black.

I'd want a deep copper, 500'. I'd say 250' or 300' and 500' if you only want 2 rods.

Troll into wind or with it?
TyeeTanic replied to troutman10's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
with the wind is going to be easier I suppose, but you'll need to be able to control speed, which may be difficult if the wind is hectic. -
Impossible to say any words that will provide enough support to help you deal with this loss. This is very close to the hearts of many people, on and off this forum. One of my best-friends lost his wife to breast cancer (spread to liver) just a few months ago. It hurts. I pray for you, that God will provide you with strength during these trying times.

You'll need to research this, but i did do some king fishing in NC (close to SC boarder) ... it was incredible man! Hopefully June is a good time for them ... I believe my trip, which was over 20 years ago, was in mid-summer.

Flordia fishing charters? 2/14/23 Report
TyeeTanic replied to reeltrout's topic in Open Lake Discussion
The Gulf is VERY shallow, which means warmer water. You have to go really offshore to get into some really big game fish. Now, February water will be colder, so I've seen on occasion people catching smaller tuna, or wahoo. I've caught a 15 lb Amberjack ... that was a nice fight, but it was a few days after a huge storm, and that's what brought them in. I'd say you have to be pretty lucky to get one of these types of larger fish. Typically what is caught is red snapper, hog fish, grouper (check whether season is open for grouper) ... smaller fish are what you get ... around the 2 lb to 5 lb mark. It's more volume than fighting. The most fun I've had on the Gulf is booking a charter that took us to a sunken ship, and we fished Goliath Grouper (catch and release). What I've always missed, due to not being there at the right time, is Tarpon fishing. From what I recall, in the Sarasota area ... May is the best month. -
The info comes from the Associated Press ... but I can't figure out how to get the link ... it just shows as a summary on my Google Search. This one results ... but I see that the Dems here have 50 votes, but that includes 2 independent parties (which I assume are leaning Democrats). So I think that is where the Associated Press says it's actually 48 for the Dems, 2 Independent, 49 for Republicans and 1 vote for the VP (Dem). See here (to reiterate, look at the notes below the 50 count for the Dems ... it includes 2 independent seats).
