  1. No Facebook here, been telling others about the site though
  2. If they know the lake well enough they could be catching much. The lake I mainly fish, almost everyone asks each other since it's not big, bass are densely populated, they are hard to locate, the average depth is around 6-8ft. At times it gets to the point if you catch a 2-3lb bass the whole lake knows
  3. A type-R decal, how fast is that in the 1/4mi??
  4. Well the family had a blast the first time up last month, through we shore fished primarily two spots, one around the monument and the other was the Lawrence Pier (public access walkway) which was very successful compared to the monument area. The bay is huge with many spots but I'm wondering if theres more area to cover while we're up there, going to spend around 4 days up there and like know more spots to fish without going on private property or getting skunked. Either the ponds, the bayfront shorelines, or the Isle, like to know more areas to fish Also any tips/tricks would be helpful
  5. So what's the sad part using senkos? I agree with little ones clinging on to the unhooked portion, fish love senkos and will hold on for their ride for a bit.
  6. Had one break on me, wouldn't buy one again. Sensitivity was adequate.
  7. The bail could have tripped when casting, that makes a loud snap
  8. Whatever floats your boat. My smartphone is my radio, tv, and weather. I don't need to be stuck at home using it. It's a great tool with a many useful features
  9. With thousands of apps you'll find out. From weather channel, police scanners, traffic, local news, how to tie knots, craigslist to see the good deals locally etc. Whatever you're into there's apps out there. Echolink for HAM radio, GPS fishing maps for lakes, mass transit schedules, list goes on

    James Woods did that, no one did anything
  11. I agree with the non-frankenfish, but it still is an adaptable species for water conditions, has few predators, and takes some of the food from other fish. Not something you'd want to overrun.
  12. According to Virginias game and fish:
  13. Look for an in-car rod rack, or make one I can fit up to 7'6" rods in my little suv and no room is wasted
  14. Regardless of taste, my wife had a blast reeling him in while using spinning gear
  15. What was bad about the surgery? Doctors usually say two things to kids with fractures, you're lucky you can walk after this and the arthritis bit at a certain age so take care of it. If there's a gander mountain near you look for the st croix premiers, they sometimes have them for $80
  16. That's for the identification. As for any sound, there was none. When we got it up from the water he didn't flop around and was quiet, like he played dead
  17. Down by the marina in Presque Isle Bay, wife caught onto a fat boy but we don't have a clue what it is, have photos with my son holding it. It's got more of a sucker mouth from what I could see.
  18. Or one armed rage craws
  19. My local dicks never has St Croix rods on sale, make it even worse they carry the oddball mojos and triumphs
  20. Ever think about clip ons to go over your regular glasses? Seen a pair at walmart you can try out if you're interested
  21. If hes 8, why not start him out with a zebco
  22. Better get the saleman to market in them stores, p-line is eating your part of the dough
  23. I started out with shimano, but l had one of their rods break bringing in a fish. After asking customer service about their other rods durability the guy told me he didn't know and I should use someone else's rods. That threw me into trying St Croix, been with them since.
  24. Yeah, the Omega Z02, it's 6lb rated. The problem with omegas is they are way too heavy For ultral lights, you best bet is the zebco platinum 11. Shame it's the only spincaster I never tried out, the platinum 33 is nice though, so hopefully the quality trickled down the line. Stay away from the pflueger/shakespere micros, they break too easily, never knew 4lb triline could cut through a metal bell in 2 days until my wife bought them
  25. The purpose is finding diamonds in the rough, I visit many markets/auctions/yard sales where plenty of deals are found. Some people who sell at these markets don't know what they have and price the stuff with the rest of the junk. Yesterday was a good day, I spent about $35 and picked up a dozen of new in box rapalas, 3 big Plano tackle boxes, and assorted gear. At another market I spent $1 for a small box that had 3 blue fox spinners, 4 mepps 1/16's, 3 1/8 rooster tails. Deals are out there. I know I've read several posts searching these forums alone where guys would say 'I would buy "x" rod if it I could find it' that can't be bought at a store anymore
