LingStreakLivesOn!..&soDOEStheBEARD! BeanH.Fri8/15

So ChuckE, where's your report? Anything interesting?

...and can you post that pic?....I tried, but couldn't capture the moment.(the whole thing)

Standby... uploading that picture of Adam.....

The Bean didn't put out much for me.  I caught a 19-1/2" cabbie and released a handful of blacks.

I'm bummed about general sad state of fishing at the Bean.  I'm reminiscing about the good ol' days like a salty old timer.

On the bright side, I got a chance to fish with the Friday fishermen - EricB and Fishunter.  I hope to fish with you guys more often!

Pics of Adam's ling....

Yeeaaahh.  Nice lings, Adam (wtg on the p.best!) and Eric!

Damn those salt water fish are ugly beasts!  Look at the blue mouth on that thing...the LMB I have been catching are so cute, like little friendly pet fishies, compared to those sea creatures. 

Actually, the colors on the salty fish are cool (I'm just jealous). 

Congrats FH...super report and pics as always.

Hey Adam, Not only can you fish, but man, what fun writing!! 

WTG guys, can't way to put my line at BH, I haven't get anything good out of there this year.....

It's the other way around ol'Timin'Chuck....and thanks for the pics!

DOOD!...there AIN'T no lippin' happening on these things....just look at them teethesis'
..you gotta get them behind the gill-plate(not inbetween) ..I learned the hard way, they have sharp barbs that won't let the prey slip through...and they slice&dice your fingers when pulling them out....along with some infection of coarse.

Thanks for the compliments!...just trying to entertain myself as well

Here is my favorite photo of this - Now that's scary!


Nice rigging on the Candy, Adam. Is that the tried and true Ben (Guitarzan) method?

Yikes!!....that is SCARY! now that I look at it 
 ......and Yes! the Greenlings seem to attract them better than other RF of the same size.
I'VEseenTHEMcutINhalfTOmakeTWO....cruel,but who's lookin.  

Great report like always Adam. And of course follows with awesome pictures.

Thanks for sharing

  Hey EricB where'd you get that bamboo gaff?  I like it!  I think I need one to be "Legal" out on the water. 

Dear King of the Lingers.

Bean Hollow VIP.

I wanna be like you-oo-oo.

Sincerely.

Northern "King Louie" Boy.

Finally, someone noticed my gaff!  I made it.  Fishermans Warehouse has the hooks for $6 or so, which I wrapped onto the bamboo using nylon line and then coated the line with epoxy.  I shellacked the bamboo but it's all worn off now and I plan to redo it with yacht varnish.

I can kick ya down a length of suitable bamboo if you like.  It's STRONG and floats.

I love my gaff.  It's got none of the class or beautiful workmanship of a Kuntz, but it's got personality to spare.
