Show off your fish

It sure was! That's the original Penn 9500 SS. I have had it for almost 20 years now. It was an awesome fight. The fish was stubborn and pulled me away from my truck lol. You can see the tent in the back

 

The SS models are still super popular in my neck of the woods. I love em because they’re super easy to disassemble. I do reel maintenance and repair in my free time, love working on the SSs and other older Penns.

 

Those old Penn Spinfishers are reels you have for your lifetime. All the parts are still available, and they are built like tanks. I’m pretty sure you could drive over one, pick it up and fish it.

 

All shorts so far this morning

 

23" Summer Flounder (AKA Fluke). Fishers Island Sound, Connecticut. Bucktail tipped with a 5" Gulp grub. Beautiful fish.

 

here's my fish hunter.

Next month it is on!! Fer da flounder!!!

 

Pink/white kills ‘em. Gulp makes a white with pink tail mullet that are great, but they are hard to find.

 

“Pink shine” is the color this fish took. The Gulp was a 5” grub. There is considerable color blending variations with the Pink Shine Glup, package to package, but all the variations seem to be equally effective.

The “nuclear chicken” color also does well fishing for flounder.

Black Sea Bass love the “camo” color. It’s close to the coloration of sea worms.

The pricing of Gulp on Amazon has a wide range, especially shipping charges. Check before you buy !

J&H Tackle has good customer service and fair pricing, with free shipping for orders over $100. They are sold out of Chartreus in the 5"grub, but do have other colors.

Haven’t been fishing lately, but I’ve been unpacking boats, and here’s a couple of nice big eyes that are on the way to New York right now.

Wicked! How’s the core look? Any burn?

 

Snapper last summer off Louisiana oil rigs



My daughters 1st red



Took my Buddy and his daughter out for crappie. Her first catch was hoss

 

There was one that was iffy that I saw, the rest were very good looking. The captains and mates take pretty good care of their fish.

 

Before and after.

 

Only one for the night. Anchored up for the night and only woke up once to the drift alarm when the anchor drug a little. Nice night out on the lake with a full moon and lots of fish that didn't want to be caught.
