Flats Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I've been talking with Ledhead lately and we've done a little brainstorming. ( Thanks for the ideas today, Sonny ) Who else mainly fishes/ builds for saltwater? (I'd also like to know if there's any other 'Yak fishermen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedHed Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I like to fish both Bluewater and Inshore but if it came down to one or the other ? it would have to be Inshore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIGMAKER Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 All of the jigs I make are for the saltwater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIGMAKER Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Most of the fishing I do is inshore, pier, surf or yak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flats Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Cool, it seems like a lot of yakers are DIY types so I was thinking a lot would make their own stuff too. JIGMAKER, I see your in MD, how's the crab's @ Capt Billy's this year? (can't remember the name of the place next door but my wife is from LaPlayta and always takes us there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIGMAKER Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Flats, I have not been down to Capt. Billy's yet this year. I have been talking to a lot of people who have been out crabing. There are alot of heavy crabs in the tributaries. Many people are reporting that they can catch a bushel in about an hour on a trot line.

cavu Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Most of the fishing I do is saltwater; inshore and near shore. Almost all the lures I make are designed for salt water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshManiaC Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I guess I run about 75% salt....inshore...I only venture to the deep stuff when I'm invited. I much prefer a big red in 12 inches of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebler_custom_baits Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 inshore to me is usually 60-100 feet of water. about what i can paddle too in my yak. Offshore here is albacor, yellowfin, bluefin, dorado, that kindof stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flats Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 On the east coast inshore means intracoastal waterway, marsh creeks, shallow flats. Believe it or not 30-40# fish can be in water < 12" (inches) deep. Deeper, non-ocean water is called bay fishing, Near Shore is somewhere ~ 5 miles out. Then there's Offshore. I'll fish anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
