admin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:37:49 +0000

I’m working to set the family camping trips for 2010, and I probable make one camping trip to A.I
I never been on A.I state park, this will be the first time. I google the park for pictures, and I see the fishing are ” FULL “, My concern…
*This will be the typical fishing pier ?. ( only space for the ” fishing masters ” ).
*Can I go and have a nice family fishign trip ?
*The Best: Virginia or Maryland are ?

Any information or experience will be important to ME.

Any camping/Fishing trip is GREAT to me, but I wan to get the best time.

Thanks, my Friends.

Took my pet steelhead for a walk today along the WSS for it to socialize with others of its own kind, but couldn’t find any friends for her.

After a long day at the beach I invited her home for dinner.

Preparing spawn with borax or salt and sugar

admin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:37:48 +0000

Hey guys, I’ve posted a few times in the General Discussions forum, but first time among the pier and surf fishing experts. I’ve fished up and down the Saint Joe for steelhead year around and salmon in the fall. Used a lot of things, like wobble glo, corkies, oslos and even little cleos and have had success. But fresh spawn about the size of a quarter in a square net seems to work the most consistently with me. When I get a hen, I always take the spawn out, make sure there’s no blood in it, and then soak it with plain old mineral oil. It seems to be the most natural and I gotta say, I’ve had success with it when other people next to me using other kinds of spawn don’t (usually but not always). Anyway, the drawback of mineral oil is that you can keep it in the freezer only about 3 months or so (and even less in the fridge) before it goes bad or gets freezer burn. Do you guys have any good suggestions for preparing spawn using plain borax or salt and sugar. There are a million recipes and I have NO IDEA what to use. Also, I’ve never used spawn off the piers, only chucked spoons and fished shrimp under a bobber. When you fish spawn off the bottom are the spawn bags about the same size as when you fish in the river? Thanks, much appreciated.

Thanks
