Log Catcher

I'm usually reasonably accurate with my casting. I don't worry about long distance casting. I am usually try to hit spots around cover. I think accuracy is important. I'm okay with baitcasters. I wish I had better accuracy with spinning gear.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I had a Brother In Law that was a Pearl Harbor survivor. He was on a ship sitting next to the Arizona. He was blown in to the water but he made it. He never talked about it much and I never pushed for information about his experiences. He passed away in 2011 just a few days after their 45 anniversary.

I keep some line in the boat to use when I need to make leader setup. I keep two extra reels in different gear ratios in the boat. If I have a problem with a reel I can swap them out and keep fishing.

Any of the old James Bond movies with Sean Connery. Dirty Harry. Magnum Force. Sudden Impact. Eldorado. Silverado.

I made one much like yours. Instead of using wood I put mine in a vise to hold it.

I will be happy to take your money on that bet. Spro makes a RK Crawler in the a color called Pink Caddi. I have one.

I make a mixture of water and baking soda and use it neutralize and clean up any battery acid down in the bottom.

I have never had a depth finder apart. Electronics repair usually needs a very gentle touch and may have to solder wiring in a very small space. I would rather leave it someone that is better at this type of work than I am.

I have used white stick worms. I usually rig them weightless and fish them like any other Senko type bait.

I have a Garmin echoMAP50dv depth finder on my boat. The card reader has gone bad in it and I haven't been able to do any updates for several years. I finally e-mailed Garmin about the problem. They told me they didn't have any replacement units for this and they could no longer repair it. They recommend I send it to a marine electronics repair shop. Does anybody have any info on these places. Who would be good to send it to or who to avoid? Any help and info is appreciated. As expensive as this unit was when I bought it I would rather repair it than replace it.

It depends on the bait and the situation. It will be Gamakatsu hook. Either an EWG or an offset shank round bend. I have both types in several sizes. I still have some old Tru Turn hooks from years ago I need to donate to the trash as I will never use them again.

I make number three that never had a Facebook account.

May everyone here have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving to you to. I retired from our local school system doing maintenance work for them. One day I was in a school when they had their Thanksgiving turkey dinner. That afternoon I was talking to one of the custodians there. He commented on how quiet the building was that afternoon. He said he wished they would have turkey everyday for lunch.

My brother used to have a 1948 Willys Jeep he had a snow plow on. It was a four cylinder and he could push snow pretty good with it.

I also have one that surprised me the wrong way. Plum. I heard some many things about how good this color is supposed to be I had to try it. I bought a pack of Mag II worms in that color. I caught one bass on that color. When there were only two left in the pack I threw them away. Watermelon Red is another color people love that doesn't work for me.

For me fishing is much like @papajoe222. I pick out my wifes baits, take the fish off the and take pictures. She only uses two rods with spincast reels on them. One for soft plastics and one for crankbaits most of the time. She hates crankbaits. She says those mean treble hooks attack her. She doesn't usually try to pick out any baits for me. If I tell her what I want and where to get it she will get them for me for birthday or Christmas.

I spent $69 yesterday to fill up two vehicles and my boat. Our gas is running about $2.94 - $3.15. I got it for $2.84 getting a 10 cents a gallon discount. I haven't noticed what diesel is right now.
