Re: Using the gaff on bull reds

I've used a gaff for securing bulls to allow easier/safer hook-removals and generally agree that the technique has plenty of merit; BUT be aware of TPWD's regs concerning the use of gaffs. "Fish landed with a gaff MAY NOT be below the minimum, above the maximum, or within a protected length lim...

Re: Coyote Hunting Help

As for the M44 that sounds cool don't you have to be licensed to use these. I wonder if you can use them inside certain city limits and if pets could be harmed since that is what the OP seems to want to avoid. i am on almost 15 heavily wooded acres..i shot a big coyote the other day..... head to th...

Re: Coyote Hunting Help

Treble hooks? Geesh! Civil words escape me, but Hirsch coveyed my basic thoughts. I hunted, trapped and snared yotes throughout my youth - usually to protect livestock, but also for their pelts. I've witnessed yotes devouring a partially birthed calf, causing the valuable cow's death too. Even so, I...

Re: Video editing?

The Flip HD camera includes its own editing software that installs directly from the camera.

Re: Mystery Fish ID Request - Armand Bayou

That's where learning how to use a camera can help, so you can "blur" the background (by decreasing DOF with wide-open aperture setting). Having good equipment really helps, but isn't a necessity. As the old saying goes, "the photographer takes the picture, not the camera." I re...

Re: bass fishing question about drifting

The anchor in these photos (a 4 lb lead-filled & rubber-coated pipe-nipple) is heavy enough to hold a yak in position, except under windy conditions. An eye-bold is embedded/recessed within the anchor, which allows it to pivot horizontally while secured. Releasing the rope from the pinch-cleat (...

Re: Guides .... I just don't know what to say

I've usually had very good experiences with guides; plenty of fish if the fish were biting, good conversation, usually both. But, there's one PB guide out of Pt O that I'll NEVER use again. Three years ago in San Antonio Bay, with four people in my party, pre-dawn, he dumped a pair of us on one shel...

Re: Fish ID help?

Hey guys I think I got it. I now believe it to be a goldeye. It was hard to find. Seems now fly fishermen are going after it and most other anglers dont pay attention to it. I had fun catching it. It jumped, it looked mean and my spinning rod had a blast. No different than a white bass. Thanks all....

Re: Minnow Trap ??

Not sure how others position the bait in the double-funnel traps. But, I use a canister (like what holds 35mm film, if you can still find any) suspended in the middle of the trap by a string tied to opposing sides. Keeping the bait away from the trap's edge seems to make 'em look harder for the entr...
