Fishin Dad

Darn it. They had the best deals on tungsten. Better look for some sales.

Anyone know what happened to this site to buy tungsten?? Maybe I missed it, but it is gone now.

Thankfully they don’t have any spinning rods. I don’t need to spend any more money on fishing for a while.

A lot of people use a hair jig under a float. Just a little action and hair pulses. That is what WRB was getting at.

I fished Rice, Okaboji, and Clear.

It does seem like a silly law and a silly policy to get it changed. Living 10 minutes from Iowa does make it easy to fish early season.

I am still jealous. For the lakes you have in your area, it is worth the wait. Love Alex!! Good luck when you get out. I have my first tourney April 21 in Iowa. We have slowed up our progress a lot here lately, but the weather looks much better next week. Mid 60’s and rain.

It is getting really close. Wife and I are actually looking outside the state. Hard to leave all these darn awesome lakes though.

The DNR is so weird about the walleye on this lake. It doesn’t affect me as I enjoy hammering some big walleyes while I smallmouth fish there. It just seems bizarre with the regulations.

Thanks Bud, I am also trying to narrow down my massive plastics collection. I am going to give these a try for my beaver style baits. I think I only have one color, maybe Junebug. I hope I like them. Thank you.

Grabbed my first bass of the year this week! Just under 4 lbs. Man, it felt good!! Trip down to Iowa, actually 3 trips!!!

I have a few packs of these I got on sale but have never used them. Maybe I should pull them out and try them. Why do you like them??

Sweet. I will check it out. Thanks

Hey Fellas, I am interested in trying the Her u,es braided line you talked about. It looks like the diameters are much thinner than 832. Have you guys noticed that? Are you using the same lb. Test as you were with other lines. I assumed if it is a Japanese line, it is like others and does have a smaller diameter. I was looking at the 20 lb. Orange for spinning rods with a leader. Thoughts? Thanks

I do not order nearly as much from TW anymore either. I do think Tackle Warehouse still has the best selection. There are just so many good deals out there now. Midway USA had the greatest deals when they first got into fishing stuff a couple years ago. They got A LOT of my money. They still have some great deals, I just don’t need as much. I don’t buy a lot anymore, but if I know I need something specific, I just look around and find the best deal. I am pretty loyal to Midway now after they hooked up so many deals. They have a great system: Fast shipping, great customer service, good selection, and solid website.
