  1. Heh...yeah. Gotta be careful fishing there.
  2. Darren. replied to Yakalong's topic in Introductions
    Welcome aboard!
  3. Can't say it's happened to me, but hey, that's quite a catch!
  4. I was gonna say a puddle, but I'm just being snarky this AM One place you wouldn't think you'd ever catch one: Storm drain.
  5. Pain felt. Got my Costas repaired after temple broke. Two weeks later I sat on them and cracked a lense. At least I can get them repaired... sorry for your loss
  6. Welcome aboard! Thanks for protecting our freedoms!
  7. Welcome aboard!
  8. Condolences for your loss. A sad time, to be sure.
  9. Welcome aboard! Snakes are definitely on the menu for bass, of that I've never had a doubt. But the claims made of all the bites and such, not buying it. Great pic but I had to grab the URL out of the code, so... Here's your pic, reposted for you:
  10. Welcome aboard!
  11. Heck, I've had beavers and otters scare the living daylights out of me during the DAY! Couldn't imagine fishing out of my yak in the dead of night in our waters.

  17. Geez, that thing at a kids bowling ball!
  18. I use both 10 and 15# Power Pro and PPSS8 on my spinning gear and there's little difference in casting distance. I happened to catch my PB on 10# braid on a bait caster in thick slop. Used a 10# leader. Bass was 7.5#.
  19. By far, for me, a ¾ oz football jig that got stuck on a dock. It was practically brand new, and my first intro to football jigs. Caught me some nice bass on that. Still have it, to!
  20. Welcome aboard! Your definitely in the right place to learn As for your area, can't help, but there are some here who have probably fished those spots who will chime in.
  21. I actually cut down the butt of one of my Carbonlite rods which makes it not hit my vest anymore. Rod is now 6'3" instead of 6'6".
  22. I for one use rods no longer than 6'6" because I find they get in the way when I'm in tight quarters with either low-hanging trees, or other structure that can interfere with casting. My favorite size is probably in the 6-6'3" range, or even 5'9". I'm fully aware that the trend is toward longer rods, but they're just not my cup of tea and I don't care what the trend is! I fish what makes my time on the water more enjoyable. I caught my PB of 7.5# on a 6' casting rod, and I've caught numerous bass over 6# on my 5'9" spinning rod. Just my experience, and I'm sticking to it!
