Is that a yacht club?
Awesome catch CC…If I lived in SA I would have been at your house Sunday Evening…Even though I was not invited….
Is that a yacht club?
LOL...naaa...we were slumming it and had to launch at a PUBLIC boat ramp...we had to wipe the boat down with sani-wipes after we washed it normally...

haha nice
That was a fun day I bet.
Baffin seems to be a hot bed lately
We were grinding hard wading with croaker. We were in the water before the sun cracked the horizon and fished virtually non-stop till 1pm. Most of the trout came from a place we call the mud flats and it's about waist deep and appropriately named.
Sea trout?
Yeah, technically they are called spotted sea trout in Texas.
Is that because of all the oil spills off the Texas coast?

Sea trout are the same species as Brown trout which are freshwater. We have browns in central Oregon.
These sea trout aren't the same as your Pacific sea trout. Your sea trout aren't related to Brown Trout, but are the salt water phase of the rainbow trout (steel-head)
You are going to have to do some continuing education before you can renew your richer card.
Cowboy next time can I go with you, you need a mexican to clean and gut the fish for you. I will even call you Jefe and you can call me Jose (in a gringo way of course).
I love this thread. It's the Quattro for Richers.
Hopefully mrsmaalox migrates over here. Y'all can keep her.

The brown trout (Salmo trutta morpha fario and S. trutta morpha lacustris) and the sea trout (S. trutta morpha trutta) are fish of the same species.
They are distinguished chiefly by the fact that the brown trout is largely a freshwater fish, while the sea trout shows anadromous reproduction, migrating to the oceans for much of its life and returning to freshwater only to spawn.[1]
The lacustrine morph of brown trout is most usually potamodromous, migrating from lakes into rivers or streams to spawn, although there is some evidence of stocks that spawn on wind-swept shorelines of lakes. S. trutta morpha fario form stream-resident populations, typically in alpine streams but sometimes in larger rivers. There is evidence that anadromous and non-anadromous morphs coexisting in the same river can be genetically identical.[2] In common usage, the name "brown trout" is often applied indiscriminately to the various morphs.
The brown trout is normally considered to be native to Europe and Asia but the natural distribution of the migratory forms may be, in fact, cir polar. There are also landlocked populations far from the oceans, for example in Greece and Estonia. The fish is not considered to be endangered although, in some cases, individual stocks are under various degrees of stress mainly through habitat degradation, overharvest and artificial propagation leading to introgression. S. trutta morpha fario prefers cold (though in comparison with other trout, this species has a somewhat higher temperature preference of about 60-65 F, or 15.5-18.3 C), well-oxygenated upland waters, especially large streams in mountainous areas. Cover is important to trout, and they are more likely to be found where there are submerged rocks, undercut banks, and overhanging vegetation.
Brown troutThe brown trout is a medium sized fish, growing to 20 kg or more in some localities although in many smaller rivers a mature weight of 1 kg (2 lb) or less is common. The current International Game Fish Association (IGFA) world "all tackle" record brown trout, 18.25 kg (40 pounds, 4 ounces), was caught in May 1992 from the Little Red River, Arkansas by Howard "Rip" Collins.[3]
Brown trout may live for several years but, as with the Atlantic salmon, there is a high proportion of death of males after spawning and probably fewer than 20% of female kelts recover from spawning. The migratory forms grow to significantly larger sizes and may live longer. Brown trout are active both by day and by night and are opportunistic feeders. While in fresh water, the diet will frequently include invertebrates from the streambed, small fish, frogs, and insects flying near the water's surface. The high dietary reliance upon insect larvae, pupae, nymphs and adults is what allows trout to be a favoured target for fly fishing. Sea trout are especially fished for at night using wet flies.
The spawning behaviour of brown trout is similar to that of the closely related Atlantic salmon. A typical female produces about 2,000 eggs per kilogram (900 eggs per pound) of body weight at spawning. Brown trout rarely form hybrids, almost invariably infertile, with other species. One such example is the tiger trout, a hybrid with the brook trout.
Trout is a favourite food fish, and is used both fresh and smoked; there are many recipes for it, and it may be eaten fried, grilled, baked, cured or microwaved.
The specific epithet trutta derives from the Latin trutta, meaning, literally, "trout".
I do believe CC is an expert on trouser trout though...
Thanks TLong, but just because I possess a magnificent specimen it doesn't automatically make me an expert...![]()
Shouldn't you be talking shrimp?
Somebody posted one time that he installed satellite television & several monitors in his barn…Is this really true? Do the horses just kind of hang out all day watching "the history channel & little people big world”…
Even the horses wanted to watch Tiger yesterday...
Yeah we had a few nags stop by the dealership and pause their day to catch up on the match. Funny how everyone becomes an expert on golf when Tiger plays.
When Rocco had the drop due the bleachers I though I was about to pull my ing hair out listening to all the dumbasses with stroke penalty talk. ugh I hate people.
They really like all the "Mr. Ed" episodes on DVD. They also play Seabiscuit over and over and ing OVER. I'm sick of that movie.
They laughed their asses off for days when Big Brown got his ass whooped at Belmont..
I just got back from an errand and god damn we're balls deep in it now. Just now getting over spending about 600 bucks a month on gas but this is absurd.
.75 to air up my tires. ing air is more expensive. Air...god damn free floating ing air from the same mother ing air pump I've used for the last 4 years. Its serviced what? Once a ing year.
So what?!? the cost of air has doubled, is the ing freight higher on "air" now. Is there an increased demand for "air" due to the chinese post earthquake consumption? Hurricane Katrina caused a shortage of "air"???? We must have lost an "air" rig off the Gulf Coast or something.
ing air used to be .25 then .50 but .75 for "air" is ing ridiculous. you people I ing hate you all of you.
