  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I caught a SCUBA diver fishing yesterday

So yesterday I went to the pier to fish, I haven't been fishing in about 7 years to be honest, but my buddy does and we've been fishing a couple times this summer already. Anyways this time I decide I want to use live squid instead of a lure and go buy some, jesus is that boring. I should have brought my cigars, last time I brought them I didn't get a chance to smoke them because I was constantly casting out.

Anyways an hour into fishing some divers go out and they are swimming directly in front of where we were fishing. I found this rude, as they could swam around because we really were not casting very far. While about 15 minutes later I get a small tug and then my pole starts bending, I try to reel it in but it's just so much fight this fish is giving me. I let out some line and it goes fast. I start reeling it in again and I'm dragging this big ass fish in (at least I think) then I give it a good yank and I'm free about 10 seconds later I see a SCUBA diver come up.

By the looks of things I dragged him a couple feet, I was really disappointed it wasn't a fish. But at least the SCUBA diver learned a lesson, don't swim right where people are casting.

Now you can truthfully say that you had a 6 foot, 200 lb whopper on the line ... but he broke free.

I have similar storys that involve surfers here in NC. They will surf right next to the pier, which is forbidden, BTW, and most have surfboards that are pockmarked with holes and cracks from fishing weights. I have yet to hook one though, but I have tried.............
