What kind of fish do you catch up in VA?

this is the only time we got snow the last time we were in Texas, but we were only there two years. It was gone by the time the sun was over the horizon fully.

lol sounds wild

that's Texas for you

What kind of fish do you catch in VA?

mainly just sunfish and the occasional bass. my buddy in MA trout fishes religiously, and he has taken me a few times, but I haven't landed a trout *yet*

Cool

I live in a town nicknamed “the sailfish capital of the world”

And I really wanna go catch some

And my dad’s trying to sell our boat for something little smaller, so I haven’t been out in the drink for a while

we have a bunch of tributaries and creeks near my place. pretty good dace fishing (large minnows). some places have sunfish too.

rip

I know

I feel ya. the last time I took my kayak out was two years ago, and that is when I broke my fly rod going down some rapids. :/

We have a 31’ Contender, and we’re trying to get a 25’ Ranger 2510 se we can take it more places

is conteder a boston whaler or am I thinking of something else?

Contender is a different company based out of Homestead FL, south of Miami

ah gotcha

Our boat plows through waves instead of going over them

It’s pretty awesome

oh sweet. The closest I got to going in the ocean with a boat was the chesapeak bay in this little rubber thing. I want to say it was 15feet long, but it may have been a tad longer. hitting waves pretty much tossed that thing though xD

Lol

My dad bought our boat to take my uncle over to the Bahamas before he died, but my uncle passed before the trip

So we now have an absolute HOSS of a boat

thats sad, but pretty cool that you have a nice boat.

Yeah, it’s a great boat

We want to get rid of it because my dad wants a boat that doesn’t require a whole crew to launch

By crew I mean at least 2 adults

I here ya. boats take a lot of work xD

It also takes like 3 hours to clean the whole thing

We also want a smaller boat so we can go to lake okeechobee

Our idea is to catch a bunch of bass, bluegill, shiners, and other things to stock the pond behind our house

idk how easy it is too see this, but I was hiking through the woods in Texas once, and came across this. Its a fairly large rock, maybe 2-1/2 feet wide. It was crawling with hundreds, maybe more than thousand daddy-longlegs. <:KEKWait:780472182387376130>

GOOD LAWD

that is probably smart. cleaning sucks xD

esp algae. that stuff sticks bro

We clean off salt and seaweed, not really algae

makes sense. I guess the ocean doesnt have a lot of that. We had quite a bit of algae in the spring-fed rivers in Texas. every lake I have ever put a kayak into also had a lot of algae. :/

Ah

Have you ever been to Florida?

usually that's why I would launch a boat in the first place though. I find it easier to get my lure where I want it if I can just float around.
