Not really looking to sell this, just curious what its worth. Its an aluminum frame, plastic overlay double sided sign. 5 feet long by 3 feet tall, weighs about 50lbs. Lights up and looks amazing, no damage for being an outdoor sign its in very good shape. I'm going to hang it in the garage but if someone makes me an offer I can't refuse I'll part with it! Dealer had this on a pole out front so the wiring is on the bottom. Pic attached. What would you be willing to pay for something like this? You won't be held to it, just looking to see if I should keep it or sell it hehe.

4.20 and Kinky beavers, and I had a deadly weapon light flipping that killed it in Cali but looks like they are discontinuing them, Kinami D Bug. I dunno why, some serious weight caught on those on the delta during the yamamoto big bass challenge both years I went. Jason Borofka put me on to those, he put the hurt on bed fish with those. Tried out the Kinami Pyscho Dad but they suck. Also been trying the BB Crickets lately since thats pretty much all I hear about in FL but havent had much luck yet. Was just looking at those Culprit IncrediPunch think I'll try those next. I have 3 boxes of just flip baits, thats my go-to. Have used tubes, creatures, flappin hogs, yamamoto craws, they all work. Been light flipping speed worms into the spatterdocks after you guys turned me on to those, work really really well. Flip em in, let it sink, if no bite swim it out. Have had fish beeline from 7 feet away and hammer it, those really surprised me.

Had one the other day flipping, and usually pitching a 1 oz into the thick stuff I set the hook pretty good. Felt a nice solid thump, so I hauled back and started on the reel handle, next thing I know this 6 inch dink is flying past me and tags the driver console with a rather large thud! I was like woops, sorry lil dude haha! He was definitely more stunned and disappointed then me though I can tell you that!

Not a bad idea actually. I picked up a bunch of those zerust strips a week ago to give them a try but didnt realize it was this bad. Shoot I cant even keep a good bottle of BBQ rub in the house, soon as I go to use it the second time its a block. Anti-caking agents my a$$!! How am I supposed to smoke a shoulder with no rub! Grrr. Jungle livin! If the fishing wasnt so dang good... I may complain about not catching any size, but in cali when the fishing is bad you cant even get a dink to sniff you just go out and blank!

Thinking about going to Holiday tomorrow. Havent been out there yet, except to go on an airboat tour and take the kids to see the lame gator boys lol. Any suggestions on where to go?

Just went through all my tackle last night, noticed I had some rust on my topwater baits last time I was out. EVERYTHING is rusted. I stripped hooks off 6 3700 boxes full of hard baits, even all my japanese cranks/vision 110's were pitted and had a little rust. All my spinnerbaits except the couple I have been using are toast. Even all my umbrella rigs are toast since I havent used em since I moved here. Dangit! Going to be like $50-$100 to replace all those hooks, and they were all KVD short shanks too so already replaced from stock hooks. Looking at storage solutions now, this aint working. I leave all my boxes in the rod locker of my boat, and have holes drilled in them to get rid of moisture. Worked great in Cali with zero humidity, here not so much. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking get all waterproof boxes and make sure I dry every bait out before it goes back in the box. Was looking at the waterproof Flambeaus with the zerust dividers just to be on the safe side. Ive always been a Plano guy and I know the Flambeau stuff is usually on the cheap side but their waterproof boxes look pretty nice.

Hit MM31 South side at the Alley yesterday from 7:30am to 10:30am was wicked hot already. Trying out the speedworm, had it rigged on 1/8oz weight texas rigged and was flipping it into the spatterdocks and swimming it out. Had about 20 fish, all under 1lb. They absolutely hammer that thing! I watched multiple fish turn complete 180's from 5 feet away and go crashing after it. Seconds later, thump! I didnt set the hook on alot, would have had 10-15 more but since I saw them hit the worm or dragged them up to the surface I knew they were small. Didnt try a ton of other stuff since I had a bite every other cast with the speedworm. Threw the hollow body, all gar biting the legs. Horny toad had a few rolls, nothing on the spook. I got there a little late in the morning though. My only solid keeper was from trying out the bigger worm, had a 11 inch curly tail texas with a 3/8oz. I came up on a spot where there was an airboat path going in on the south side, and there was sandy light colored bottom next to the tules. About 100 gar swimming around, some huge ones biggest I have seen so far, and a couple bass mixed in. I saw a bigger bass so I flipped him and he ate it, went maybe 2lbs. Not sure what was going on with that spot, it was only about a foot deep but there was fish PACKED in to that one small area. Ive never seen that many fish in one spot before, about the size of a living room. They didnt even leave when I blew the spot up bringing that one in. Headed in after that, I was roasting called it an early day since the fam let me go out by myself. Side note: First time I used that ramp, I always go to MM35 rest area. Last time I use that ramp too. Horrible ramp, steep as **** and road was half missing. I wanted to save some time since I knew thats the side and direction ( I always see guys in that canal driving by going to 35 ) I wanted to fish but launching was such a PITA it probably didnt save me anything. Normally I can self launch or trailer in less than 2 minutes, that one had to adjust the boat in the bunks since it was so steep took quite a bit longer.
