  1. Welcome aboard, John!
  2. Welcome aboard, @joerobert!
  3. Let's go BUFFALO!! Sweet win over Vikes. I'm a likin' Josh Allen!! Long way to go, though. Boy needs receivers fer cryin' out loud!
  4. Use whatever floats your boat, I say! I use both, but the vast majority is spinning. Why? It's more bullet-proof for me. And I set out to go all-baitcasting several years ago, and got to the place I took only baitcast setups with my in my yak. One day it occurred to me that spinning was just easier to deal with when skipping in tight confines (and in general), windy conditions, drop-shotting, etc. Mind you, I could do all of that with my casting, but inevitably wind would pick up and I couldn't skip w/o a backlash, taking one of my setups out of action... So I'm fine using spinning. I will use casting, too, on occasion. I also don't throw every technique in the book. Just like my tools, I have stuff for the things I like to do, and things I can do. So with fishing.
  5. Didn't realize those were Flo's remains. I saw that on NOAA's site last night, here's this AM's map.
  6. It is forbidden. Move along.
  7. Welcome aboard!

    Welcome aboard!
  9. Welcome aboard, Joe!
  10. Welcome aboard, Greg!
  11. Agree, rock bass. And welcome aboard!
  12. Welcome aboard, Dennis!
  13. Stay safe. We dodged a bullet here in Hampton Roads. Winds, sporadic rain from the bands but nothing torrential (yet - radar showing some coming). Got family in SC that's in the swath.
  14. I don't get a lot of wind knots with 15# test SS8. I got more using 10# regular PP, but not an extreme amount, or even enough to cause me to switch brands.
  15. They're both great. I like SS8 a little better as it's "slickness" remains a little longer than regular PP in my experience. As for sensitivity, negligible difference. You'll be fine either way.
  16. Welcome aboard!
  17. Welcome aboard! All good info above. Best is to keep it simple. Soft plastics tend to work the best, and they're a reason I have stuck with them for so many years! More fun *catching*
  18. Welcome aboard, Len!
  19. Welcome aboard! I probably wouldn't fish it, but hey, throw a nice O'Shaugnessey 4/0 in it and Texas rig it.
  20. Levi's Wed. update. Excellent info.
  21. Oh yes, FL will be my "I can't afford to go to the Amazon" Peacock bucket destination .
