  1. So very true.Removing rust & repaint is VERY expensive. Not worth stealing.
  2. I will stir the pot up. I have never felt tired by casting any rod. EXCEPT !!! REALLY LONG salt water surf casting rods & big lures. After a month the muscles developed to be O K.
  3. Excess food and few anglers equal a world record. Add in C and R fishing. A very large isolated farm pond would work. I was surprised at the size N J F & G released as too old breeders.
  4. $ 30,000 over about 72 years. That includes boats & motors.
  5. Daubs I found that high winds caused 2 separate locations. VERY upwind water. And very down wind area. In between were rare fish.
  6. I like mowing it more. Since I pay someone.
  7. My 300s are old made in France age. Thief stole ONLY the 300 reel. Left the rod laying there. They were made that well. Excellent for up to a big Bluefish in salt water. There were 3 DIFFERENT versions sold by Cabela. The quality might be related to the weight of the 3 different 300s listed now for sale.
  8. I just realized that SMALL diameter line spools are a cause of poor casting. Even in SPINNING reels. I bought 2 Ultra Light spinning reels. TOTAL waste of money. There is NO way that the 4# test Mono line can sit all winter. Then be limp enough to cast like Braided 6#. The tolerances are just to critical for the bail arms to operate just like my large Mitchell 300 reels. Size always matters.
  9. Guides are the only way to go to a new lake and BE SURE you will catch some of what you want. Weather can DESTROY all the time & money laid out. Special trips are a GUIDE trip. His equipment works for him when needed. I enjoy saying ...........I have caught enough. Lets go in...........It is 10:00 am. Been there.
  10. Ditch Panda & me are brothers. I give away those lures. With a warning.
  11. The pill pushers HATE Chiropractors. We have a great 1 also. ? Never needed any pills.
  12. I KNOW why I like old fishing threads. There were a HECK of a lot more fish everywhere to catch & release ..............Everyday. Oh well.
  13. I was very depressed with a heart blockage condition. So I did a American Indian Will Myself to Die. That night. Thankfully the strapped on alarm worked. As I am here to bug others. ?
  14. If you use a Mulching Blade ? You are recycling the grass as food. I have not fed the lawn in 52 years.
  15. The single bass was excellent. Many of the bass were excellent. All of the bass died.
  16. Circle hooks work by the CHUNK of bait BEING SWALLOWED !!. They are never to be used on lures that are clamped near the frontal lips.
  17. You can cast from driving seats ? I do all the time.
  18. I was having a 1 1/2" long Rapala floater fly off of the 6 # braided tied right to the split ring of the lure. I use very stiff rods. That means HIGH speed starting yank on the knot. It is older line. I carry 2 almost identical rod & lures . 1 is 6 # Braided. Other is 4 # Monofilament. The 4# Mono ...NEVER .... unties from a lure. The 6# can do it almost when ever I want to toss HARD enough. The cure to stop the braid. Is to tie a simple 1/2 hitch on the end of the Braided line. As the line slides thru the knot the 1/2 hitch will jam at the knot & not slide & untie.
  19. When a fish is REALLY hungry ? Caught a pike at 11 am. Had lunch. Came by his area at 3 pm. BINGO again. Had the same 2 red dots in the same place. Same thing with SMB. But they just bump the lure the 2nd time. Smarter ?
  20. All my legal medium sized Yellow Perch go to old friends.
  21. I use 6# Braided line & the fish attack it as if they did not see the line at all.............. I KNOW they have very good eyesight compared to us. In bright sunlight I can see my line EASILY with the right angles. If I use live minnows ? They would bite with anchor chain on the hook.
  22. Saw a special about the massive reduction of eels at & below London. They traced it to all the DRUGS being flushed into the river. Deformed & senseless. Not able to complete their life cycle anymore.
  23. W here is Knoxville, Tenn. located in West Virginia ?
  24. The work from home is going to increase the number of bass being taken home ALL year long. Oh well. Enjoy them.
