Near Shore Trolling

Last time, we talked about Offshore Trolling. For those of you who prefer not to venture offshore, out of sight of land, there is an alternative, Near Shore Trolling. Near Shore Trolling occurs from a few hundred yards of the beach to a few miles from shore, still well within sight of land, for those of you who are squeamish. This can be a great tool in your fishing arsenal, especially when you are having trouble finding fish using the traditional bottom fishing methods. Many great sportfish and highly edible species will grab a trolled bait or lure, and in some areas, certain times of the year the larger sportfish will venture close to shore, so you never know what you might catch. These include Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, Grouper, and even Wahoo have been known to venture into near shore waters during the hot summer months. The best trolling method is to use a combination of offshore and inshore baits and lures. Using your outriggers and downrigger along with your flat lines, you can easily put a spread of 6 or 7 lines in the water. I usually place a skirted Ballyhoo on the downrigger, another skirted Ballyhoo on one outrigger, a Spanish sardine on the other outrigger, and a combination of spoons and lures on the remaining lines. The spoons are normally the best method to catch Spanish Mackerel, however, one my last Near Shore Trolling trip in around 50 feet of water, 3 miles offshore, I hooked a large Spanish Mackerel on one of my outriggers rigged with a large skirted Ballyhoo. When I am Near Shore Trolling, I will alternate my trolling speed between a 5 mph troll down to a 3 mph troll, and sometimes I may increase to a higher speed troll for short distances until I find the trolling speed that gives me the best results. Once you find the fish, you can stop trolling, chum the water to keep the fish near, then use traditional fishing methods such as bottom fishing rigs, surface rigs and lures/spoons to catch more fish. Remember to bring a landing net for smaller fish and a gaff just in case you catch the unexpected large Kingfish or Wahoo. Hope you have fun on your next near shore fishing trip.

Little Get Away

Yes I need a little get away even just a weekend get away, I been stuck in the house for so long. Now I am so bored plus stress with the everyday things, I could use a nice and quiet vacation with my family. I have to look for a hotel reservation promo, because we don't have much budget for it. I need a cheap and relaxing vacation, but the question is where?

Anyway we really didn't do anything for spring break yet but I'm sure that we are going to have some fun on summer. Hubby will take off from work on Friday so we can do something with the kids before my girl go back to school. Tomorrow suppose to rain all day, I just hope that my plants will be okay.

Cooking Together

I love it when hubby help me on cooking dinner, tonight we had fun making our dinner together. I was marinating the whole chicken for dinner when he got home. Then he asked me if he can help me so I said of course. He said he is going to roast the chicken in the grill outside.

We had a lot of fun while we are waiting for the chicken to be cook I already make the roasted potatoes with fresh Rosemarie herbs from my garden.I also sauteed a carrots, asparagus and chayote squash. While waiting for the chicken we start playing soccer and volleyball the kids was really happy that mommy and daddy play with them.

What A Day

We just finish eating dinner and the kids are in the backyard again playing. I also went there to water my plants. I have been having a pain in my lower right abdomen for two days now it comes and goes, so I really don’t know what to do. Do I have to see my doctor or not. I was just thinking that it might be just a gas because I ate too much broccoli. I just have to keep an eye on it I hope everything is okay with me.

Anyway do you have a family member that is been suffering with a Mesothelioma cancer? If you do you need to visit mesotheliomahelp.net to get more help and information.

Another Horse Ride

Here is my girl again when we go to her field trip in the ranch. She had a lot of fun on that day. After that day she was asking her dad if she can go back in the ranch again. We are planning to bring them in the ranch on summer I'm sure my son would love it too.

Going To Bed Early

Its not really early anymore, but for me still early I usually go to bed around 12am. Tonight I decide to go to bed a little early than usual. My kids are still awake but for me I feel so tired and my eyes want to close already very bad.

I just want to finish this post and I'll be going to bed after. I have a busy day tomorrow so I need all the energy that I can get. Anyway is any of you try to use colon cleansing products? If you do is it working for you? My aunt was asking me if I can send her some good quality colon cleanser and I told her that I will look around.

His Getting Big

My little boy is really getting so big and he act like older than his age now. The other day I told him that he is going to school on August and he was not very happy about it. He said he want to stay home with me, so I explain to him that he really need to go to school like the other kids.

When we go to bed at that night he come over to my bed and said mommy I decided I'm not going to school hahaha! I said no you are going to school, then he said but mommy you will be lonely here by yourself. My boy is such a mommy's boy that he is so worried about his mommy alone and lonely at home.

The Bedroom And The Kids

Hubby and I is trying to get our kids to sleep on their on room, because until now both of them still sleeping in our room. Right now we have to beds in our bedroom one for us and one for the kids. We try to tell them that they need to start sleeping on their own room but they don't want to be separated with us.

Anyway I think I will just let them sleep in our bedroom until they decide to start sleeping on their own rooms. I heard some of my friends say that once they are older they don't want to be near you anymore. So I guess hubby and I just have to treasure this moment hehehe. Right now we need to buy bed frames for the guest room and change the one in my sons room, so when his ready to sleep on his bed it will be ready for him.

Spring Is Here!

Finally its spring already I am very busy taking care of my vegetable garden in our backyard. Also hubby is been working on the boat motor to get it ready for spring and summer fishing. Last weekend he change the spark plug and today he change oil it. So now we are ready to go fishing once again.

I hope we catch lots of fish because buying fish in the seafood market is so expensive. The kids are so excited to go swimming its going to be a fun spring and summer. My sun is already asking me if we can go swimming in the pool and I said its still a little cold out there. But next week it will warm up again and I think there is no more cold weather for us here in Florida.

Helping Mommy

I so happy right now because for the first time my daughter offer to help me clean the sink. I am watching her washing dishes and I have to keep on double checking because sometimes she doesn't rinse it really good. But hey I have a big girl now and helping mommy is always a wonderful thing to do.

My friend is trying to put her house for sale I just wish her luck. There are so many house out there that its been for Sale for over a year and still no buyer until now. I hope this economy will be better very soon. Thank you all for visiting me here everyday.

Its Been Awhile

My gosh its been awhile now that I'm absent here in my online world. I am very busy with my offline life that I don't even have time to update my blogs. I'm trying to work hard on losing weight and do other stuff around here in the house. I thank you all so much for always stopping by here i really appreciate it.

I just have a little time to sit down today because everybody is in the store. I am quiet and alone in here. Before they get back I'm making this quick update and I'll be cooking soon also. I am also busy working on catching up all the work here in the house that I been putting off because of blogging hehehehe! Now that I have all this free time I want to concentrate on all the things I need to finish.

Pulling Weeds

Yes I'm done pulling the weeds in my garden, all I need to do is buy some plants and I'm good to go. This is my vegetable garden in our backyard I can't wait to start planting maybe this weekend. Last year we had lots of bell peppers and banana peppers I even harvested more veggies during fall. So I hope this year I will have a beautiful and productive garden.

I don't know what's wrong with my car all of the sudden its making some noise. I have to wait for hubby to get home so he can check it out for me. I hope we are not going to spend so much money to fix it.

Go shopping Go!

I need to go shopping for new stuff like new shoes, clothes and more. I have to go shopping this weekend if I have the budget. Every time we go to the store my kids always want toys, and you know they play with it in a few minutes and after that their not interested anymore.
