JackM Loc: North East Florida

Just an update. I was at 18 not including saltwater. I was lucky to travel extensively for business and usually had my evenings free. You know what that means. I packed a travel rod and reel. In my long life, I've fished Puerto Rico, Mexico, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alaska, and British Columbia. These were all shore-bound close to my hotel but not necessarily the best spots and all with artificial baits except Florida where I was on a fishing pier. I fished dead shrimp from 7 PM till 11:30 PM. What stopped me was my arms fell off. I couldn't set the hook anymore I was just too tired. I meet up with some other guys on the pier who were there on a long-term project. They had a large cooler 3/4s full of sand trout which I added to. Absolutely the best fishing I've ever had. I must have caught over 200 fish in 4 1/2 hours. The biggest disappointment was Sidney Australia where I never got a chance to put a line in the water.

Thanks Big A. I’ve been fortunate enough to catch a few trout over the years. Some rainbows on the White River in Arkansas and some browns on the Little Provo in Utah. By ‘northern’ I was referring to walleye, sauger, pickerel, muskelunge, northern pike and tiger musky. Once stood in the mouth of the giant musky at the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame; but that’s as close as I’ve been🙂

Mr Samples, Im really glad you shared the history of the water dog lure origin with us. Thank you sir. 🙂 I’ve tried to collect a few old wooden ones over the years. Seemed like an excellent name for me on FS when I signed up.
