Spike-it markers are legit
Well I have JJ but being on a yak I decided I would grab a pack of these as well due to ease of use on the water and not worrying about storage. Cant wait to get back on the water soon. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Academy Sports
We have two in town locally and West and East the west one always has good sales going East is hit or miss. They dont even carry the same things all the time its weird. West store had the big clearance I headed out east and had like 5 things its seemed fishing related. Then the West store started carrying the new 6th sense flukes so I snagged a pack since I like flukes East store doesn't even stock them.

I have a bait buying problem.
I have had the same problem lately buying and buying then saying thats it I have plenty. Then get an email last night buy one get one free well shoot might as well stock up little more never know. I don't want to be like last year when I couldn't find tackle local so I have more than enough now and probably wont even be able to fish due to work travel schedule haha.

Academy Sports
I don't know if its just my local one or what but they had spinner baits on clearance and then 50% off that so i bought about dozen or so war eagles for less than $3 tonight. I am in Wichita Kansas and was the west store. They had a good variety and alot of the house brand H20, Strike King ones as well.

Yeah I heard that seen dicks sold the new swim bait contender they are making now. I thought I would pop in and look at it then realized no more fishing camping and sports only basically.

15 psi might be ok I have found you might have to reduce it down a bit to get to spray some paints I have had crank it up to 25 before on some.
