I totally understand, probably because a majority of the fishermen in your area order online for cheaper prices. Therefore shop owner has to scale down inventory. the stores I really like make their own stuff, hooks jigs and plastics. The “supply chain” is in the back room haha. I took some pics in one the other day . im starting to think the supply chain for all fishing gear has been re routed to Vonore, TN. These guys have it all x 100!!! Granted, the internet is not somewhere Vonore residents spend much time

Did LSU include all the money they funneled away from the childrens hospital in that report??? Our former coach, who was fired with cause, was filling brown paper McDonald bags with cash and giving to players. Follow the money, head to the Golden Arches!!!

I don’t know much about rod power/action, but I like a flemsy one for suspending jerkbaits . I get these rods at academy for dirt cheap, I think they are fiberglass. they have got me some nice fish I do, however, know a lot about 6 lb mono. i would recommend 6 lb line instead of 8. I’ve totally ditched the 8 and gone to 6 on every spinning reel. Got Many drum over 30 inches and many gar over 40 inches with 6 lb eagle claw mono, you won’t be reeling in any bass with that kind of power or teeth

I know a fella that makes a good one too……….

^^^^^^^ OP- this should indeed make you feel better this man has caught ALL the big fish in America and Canada

Well, on the bright side it sounds like nobody lost any cash. I’ve had my card info jacked before and I never bought anything online, the bank just called me and said “did you make an $11 purchase in Illinois?” No ma’am, problem solved. All the cyber stuff is beyond my understanding but if you didn’t lose any money, I would imagine all is well that ends well. I’ve said on here many times, I much prefer walking into a store. Sure I pay extra, but I’m lower middle class so it’s not a big deal haha. If you don’t shop at the tackle stores, they will be gone. If you live in a place with no tackle stores, guess why?

It’s a magical plug, I think that and Tennessee shad are the only colors I’ve ever bought in the shallow runner

That’s some deep snow!

A girl I went to college with lives down there, her husband works on the Florida panther national refuge. It seems like there are a good many places where you can catch tarpon and snook pretty far inland in freshwater. Then again he has access to a lot of water than nobody else does

It takes different people different amounts of time, only one way to find out. There are lots of old threads regarding the subject, with lots of good responses. I bought a lefty on accident when I was 13 years old with like $75 worth of quarters. I couldnt exactly take it back so I just learned to use it. I still enjoy both RH and LH baitcasters to this day

They catch striped bass in NC salt, not very big ones tho. I’ve surf fished a tad in SC, it’s tough until the fall season. In the fall a bunch of shrimp move shallow and people do pretty good. I’m usually there in June and the locals say come back in the fall. Well my wife’s birthday isn’t in the fall! Haha @desmobob just put up some pics of nice NC saltwater catches in the other species latest catch pics thread

Shallow shad rap is awesome! Get ya one that’s yellow on the back

I tend to have the opposite problem, I tie up a dozen of whatever I’m tying and gob them up into a box somewhere. Then I can never get them apart , I have 12 of everything and never use any of it

Yeah it’s crazy. When you start hunting around for lunch without bread or a tortilla, you end up hunting a good bit. I eat a lot of boiled eggs now, maybe my heart will explode but at least I lost that 10 lbs! Hahahaha

Didn’t you say you were divorced?? Haha It’s a giant waste of money no doubt, but we think like that because we are men. You don’t want to be denying your lady of her special day! I can always make more cash

I drive around all day at work, I used to eat a good many subway sandwiches. I thought I was being a good boy by not getting burgers and fries. I can’t stand the smell of those sandwiches but I’m also not a picky eater, I just eat to keep on living. Once I quit eating subway I lost 10 lbs immediately haha. Go figure. At least now I don’t smell like subway anymore, but I sure can’t be eating the $12-$15 sandwiches anywhere else

A bow hunter like you can wait it out no problem!!

You may be correct on the “never be completely eradicated” part but only time will tell. Lots of exotic species run their course then are gone forever. They just did some heavy sampling of the dams upstream and found zero (0) big head or silver carp. I’m also fairly sure they have never found a juvenile anywhere, all the fish are reproducing somewhere else and just swimming up to KY and Barkley dams

Woops! No cookie but I had the Italian grilled. It was good but not $12 good haha.

When someone beats Bama, we all rejoice haha (except GA, I just blindfold myself when AL and GA play )
