The fishing activity out there is slower than summer creek in a dry canyon. So, I thought I’d try to get everybody pumped up with some of my popular video compilations. Hope you enjoy….if you’re like me…they’re fun to watch even if you’ve seen them before. TGIFF.
Little-known ciguatera infection switches victims’ sensations of hot and cold
Grouper, like this open-mouthed coral variety, are among reef fish known to harbor ciguatera, a fish-borne food illness that can cause strange symptoms such as a reversed sensation of hot and cold. Some patients also say they feel like their teeth are falling out — and the symptoms can linger for years. While ciguatera fish poisoning is largely unknown in most of the U.S., several recent cases have attracted growing concern, officials say.
“Whatever I touched, if it was hot, it would feel cold. If it was cold, it felt hot,” Schroeder recalled. “I couldn’t walk on the tile floor. It felt like it was burning me.”
There’s been some great trips out on the big river the past coupla months. I’ve got to fish with some people for the first time…and have got to see others catch their first sturgeon.
I’ve camped on an island in the CR for three days, ate great food and fished with great friends. I took afternoon naps after fishing and almost lost the Diamondback. I played a 10 foot fish from that same boat for twenty minutes and got to see that very same fish completely out of the water from a close distance while still on my rod.
I’ve seen some of the best osprey pictures taken I’ve ever seen and been the target of a angrily diving mother while anchored under her roost….on more than one occasion.
There’s also been many a blooper clip handled since this summer began in early June and I haven’t decided yet whether to save them for the next blooper reel or just roll them right in. We’ll see. Come on back around end of the week and I’ll have a movie put together.
My lovely wife has informed me she will be taking my tike and visiting the in laws in the Natti from August 13th to the 20th. During this time I would like to make up for lost fishing time that my family and business life has not afforded me as of late.
I’m thinking of a Deschutes trip to chase some steel and trout, but I am open to other ideas as well. I would really like to float though. Ping me here if any of you are down. Heller, Burge, Meskel let’s go do the float! Either from Pine Tree to Beavertail OR Mack’s to the Mouth. Could be a lot of fun!
Well, we all joke about it, but really, not much funny about taking 3 ounces in the grill. Especially when it lodges into your brain from your face.
Original story brought to you from Long Island New York.
MAN STRUCK AND KILLED BY LEAD FISHING WEIGHT
MELVILLE, N.Y. — A man fishing off Long Island is dead after a 3-ounce lead fishing weight attached to his pole struck him in the face and dug into his brain.
Relatives and a physician say Roosevelt resident Jaime (Hai-MEH) Chicas (CHEEK-ahs) died Tuesday from severe head trauma and herniation.
A neurologist at Nassau University Medical Center says the lead weight from Chicas’ fishing pole hit with “so much force that it kept going” and lodged in the back of his head.
Relatives say the 21-year-old was fishing with his brother-in-law and cousin at the west end of Jones Beach Friday when the accident happened.
Lead sinkers are commonly used by fishermen to sink lures more rapidly.
Now, that is some bizarre fishing news from the Associated Press, NY.~Can you imagine what one of our 8ouncers would do to a head?
With tribs low and valley temps high it has been time to hit the salt. Here are some photos from the last month or so. Lots of rocks, lings, cabbies, surf perch all delicious fish tacos!
The tuna has been great offshore. Fish have been a bit scattered this week, but still a handful of albies equals a lot of work. Sashimi day one and two-
Then flashed on day three and stretch a fourth,
and then on to the cans…
So this post is an assortment, of a few surf trips, Brookings with Sky-Bo, (first time offshore he hammers two nice Lings) and a couple of recent tuna trips. My son Solomon can finally bring in a pogie alone-very cool indeed!
Sky is in New Zealand and has an offshore trip for giant trevally, and some river trip as well. He should have a post before long-to think six months ago he had never caught so much as a planter trout! What a beast!
