Show off your fish

is that a modified Mitchell sir?

 

Van Staal. Prince of surf fishing.

 

Van Staal, I have too many

 

not well versed in the upper end of surf fishing

 

Nothing wrong with the old Mitchell’s and Penn 706z they’re reliable and you can’t kill ‘em plus parts are very easy to come by

 

and know i know why...and i just spent a chunk on a rod-n-reel for bass fishing...but...

 

It’s a sickness brother

 

quick glance at the reel, was ogling that striper , but, again, briefly had a Mitchell reel flash-back.

 

oh..imma 60 year old junkie, but on the tidal/freshwater side, i got the Chesapeake Bay tributaries, and the Potomac River, drainin my wallet

 

They’re pretty nifty pieces of gear….aluminum, completely sealed, waterproof drag, supposedly you can bury one in the sand and it’ll still work just fine. Never touched one but read lots about them. Expensive. But not the most expensive spinning reel you can buy.

 

Here ya go buzzbait look up Zeebaas

 

Bubba gump striper

 

Ok, you get fisherman of the day for these pics. But after I caught a shark like that, I would not be waist deep in the surf with another fish. Great pics of the fish!

 

The only thing that scared the chit outta me in the dark while wading is those damn horseshoe crabs crawling up my leg or when they bump into you

 

Tested out my new camera today. This is a little lake down the road from me, I usually fish it on my lunch breaks in the summer.
