Just use your normal knots but begin with overlapping / doubling the lineeelj wrote:Red Drum fight so hard it took a few times experimenting with different knots before we had any success. Much harder fight than any Musky or Norther Pike that I've ever caught.

Can anyone advise me? I was planning a vacation alone to go somewhere and go fishing. I want to get away from everything and everyone for a few days so that I can collect my thoughts, and one of the ways is: fishing and surfing. But surfing is when I want the adrenaline. I've been surfing since I was a little kid, and I have my own collection of boards on this site glidesup.com . Fishing is when you want to recharge only with quiet energy and put all your thoughts in their place and thus become more motivated and efficient.
i'm not always first on the scene, but i'm persistent. and my technique is evolving, i'm finding it useful to write down the usernames (on paper) based on the profile and search their posts every day or so.
Have never caught barracuda, but have eaten it in Abidjan years ago. Yummy!YankeeTarheel wrote: Tue Mar 30, 2021 10:12 am I've only had a few chances to fight a tough fish--Mahi Mahi, and barracuda. You need a steel leader for 'cuda, because they bite right through anything less. Fresh caught and deep fried it's delicious--but you can only eat it if there's no reefs around...otherwise there are toxins they ingest that make it too dangerous to eat.
But when you eat as leftovers it degrades noticeably. Barracuda fight like hell but they don't have a lot of stamina.SailDesign wrote: Tue Mar 30, 2021 11:39 amHave never caught barracuda, but have eaten it in Abidjan years ago.

Surf fishing here means walking to the beach (5 or 10 minutes) and trying for blues of stripers. Bluefish need a wire leader for the same reasons barracuda do, but in general stripers won't touch metal. You have to just make up your mind which you're trying for before you start.
Yup. They're like greyhounds - sight hunters who rely on speed and not much else... But Oh, so yummy when bought fresh off the boat an hour before eating.YankeeTarheel wrote: Tue Mar 30, 2021 1:36 pmBut when you eat as leftovers it degrades noticeably.

I've only eaten those I, my sons, or a friend had caught.SailDesign wrote: Tue Mar 30, 2021 5:34 pmYup. They're like greyhounds - sight hunters who rely on speed and not much else...
