SPYDERCO SALT THREAD...fishing, ocean, stories, pics and all things "salt"

If we ever get forum special, I'd like to vote for an orange centofante 3 in H1

 

Jibbles,
Haha! I saw some big fish in the canal on Wasington and 44th! What part of Mesa are you in? Someone told me about a golf course run off that has some bass in it in East Mesa.

 

Oh yeah, and I found a Pacific Salt in Black on black. I don't really need corrosion resistance in the desert, but why not have a knife in H1?

 

We do have some nice river fishing, this was from Lee's Ferry. Last one is Glenn Canyon Dam.

 

Oh ya, I also carry a delica and it really takes care of me!

 

Thanks dude. That's Montana right there.

That's pretty cool. I think crappies are ok, but they're usually too small (the ones I catch). Nothing sours my mood like looking into a bucket and seeing just a few small fish, because all I end up seeing is just a lot of work for a few morsels. That being said, crappies aren't that bad. Nevertheless, I seem to enjoy more meals from the ocean.

Didn't know you were from Louisiana. I hear Lionfish are getting eaten up as delicacies down there. I'd like to try them too, minus the poisonous spines .

 

I first thought that catcherman just looked ridiculous, but it's starting to grow on me. I think I could fillet with it ok, but I'm worried about the lateral force gradually wearing down the pivot.

 

Don't know about Lionfish in Louisana but the are a terrible thing in the Keys. Non-native species taking over. We try and kill as many of these as we can. They are plentiful when diving by bridges/structure. There are "Lionfish Derby's" held to try and get rid of these things. People that release pythons, boa's, non-native species into the wild are sorry son-of-a-guns.

 

Awesome photos man! I'm jealous.

 

Yup.. I know all about it (I'm from Miami FL). They're quite the invasive species. The Louisiana thing is what I read recently regarding their population control solutions. They can be fished license free and they're trying to promote the meat into the food culture. I hope it goes well.

Snake-heads up here north are invasive as well. I bet they make a mean spicy stew.

Thanks for the nice words. I lived a few years in Montana. I'm not into fly fishing (as you can tell by the photos), but it's quite a beautiful place.

 

I love fishing during full moon. Apparently the shrimp are drawn to the full moon and come out in droves at night. The fish naturally respond to that and feed more than normal. A smelly piece of squid on a hook does wonders. As for the tide, I usually fish off the bridge, but I bet fishing would be quite intense. Hope you get some good catchin.

 

That's really good one.

Hey Surfgringo,

I love stories and pictures. Inspiring for sure. I was wondering why you don't have a Catcherman Salt? It looks like the ultimate knife for you!

Edit. I'm an idiot, totally missed the preceding conversation. Tapatalk be damned!
