Great Fishing Lines

[MackFisherman2]

True story, a few years ago a buddy and I went white bass fishing with a guide. My buddy kept tinkering with his rod, reel, etc. The guide finally tells him "You can't catch fish if your lure is not in the water".

When its a slow day and the grind is on its usually attributed to the fact that I must not be holding my mouth right

I went fishing down in Rockport a few years ago. A good buddy and I were fishing with guide James Fox on a shell patch using live croaker. My buddy makes a crappy cast and the bait falls about 20' from the boat. Fox says 'reel that $h!t up'. My buddy promptly complies. About three cranks into bringing his bait back, his rod doubles over and, after a lengthy battle, he lands a 25" plus speck. We land the fish, high 5s all around. Fox baits him up and he casts back onto the shell patch. A couple minutes later my buddy starts to give Fox the business about catching the big speck. Fox replies....'boy.....shut up and jerk your croaker'.

I think we didn't catch them because of that damn _______ . (wind, tide, full moon, boat traffic, transitional period)

That was always my dad's reason for getting outfished by his son....lol

[Nwilkins]

My daddy also used to tell me; Your not holding your mouth right !!! He'd also called half strike's, bumps or huge blow ups ( COWARDS)

The one I usually hear right as I'm at the critical point in a story is "Your cork's under"!

Are you in need of a bath or are you skunked!

The one I usually hear right as I'm at the critical point in a story is "Your cork's under"!

I say something similar to my son in mid [day dream, story, looking at crabs, playing with the bait bucket].....'son......where's your cork?'

[TroutSupport]

Not a line ... but pretty funny... when I was looking the other while worm fishing for bass... my brother used to reach over and tap my line with his rod tip... of course i'd set the hook and be all frantic... and he'd just laugh. Good stuff

Ya aint doin it right.

Me sneekypete and Deano were wading gorda one cold December morning and lurefisher kept wading back to the boat and climbing inside Rick told me that's a strange technique that he has got!!! Lol

[Robalo]

"Let's try the Sure Fire Method, I'll grab a beer or light a smoke." Zinggggg goes the line peeling out right when trying to open the beer or light the smoke. Works almost everytime..

If ya aint got a beer or a smoke-hope some hot bikini babe goes by in a boat and distracts ya-that usually works also, except ya get a mouf full of saltwater from your jaw dropping.

Thought of another one:

"Don't leave fish to find fish."
