Where do you live and fish, and for what?

Well I live in Slovenia (next to Italy and Austria) and I fish in Adriatic sea. We don't have striped bass where I fish, but we have what we call sea bass. A lot smaller (a 30lber is a catch of a lifetime). As far as I learned these last 6 months since I found couple of Striped Bass forums that their feeding habits are very much alike. I started lurking on these forums cause I wanted to make my own lures. Our bass is active when south wind is very strong and that means that you have to throw your plugs into/against the wind. With lures available in our tackle stores that is imposible. We have sufcast fishing but not surfcast fishing with plugs.
I would like to transfer and adapt the knowledge of surfcasting for striped bass to surfcasting for our sea bass. So I thought if I could learn how different types of plugs are supposted to be fished, when and why I could improve my plug building skills.
And we also have some large blue water fish that grow up to 80lb, and can be caught from shore during summer.

Great Thread!
 

I am now educated beyond my intelligence!

Zoja you forgot to mention the beaches are topless for the most part! I am willing to bet if you had room to spare you would have more than afew guys flying your way with a bag full of big wood..so to speak! And 80# fish from shore would only sweetin the deal...I'm thinking topless dark haired, blue eyed maidens asking what your doing is not a bad thing!:kewl:

Ha ha. Yes our beaches are top optional, as far as 80lb fish from shore, it's very rare but it can be done and it already has been done.
But topless beaches and fishing don't mix, I can only work with one stiff rod at a time...:lama:
