WOW

@A-Jay I t is about a month I back to treadmill after my injury, My main reason it loosing weight and I cant do anything but using treadmill, I have tennis elbow and sharp torn on my both wrists and elbow and neck and shoulder and etc... Anyways just want to make you sure thats only thing I can do and fishing. But after one month I only lost 8lb. Any suggestion? I have picture of results of my workouts result as well. Right now I am spending 600 CAL per day and about a mile on 1.5MPH speed.

I have group of friends that they are 70 years old plus and they just do bait and wait fishing. They fish for carp, catfish and trout in the seasons. I do fish with this guys once or twice a week, unless it is cold and rainy which they dont like to go out. Anyways to make story short I always will have a rod for bait and wait with them and other one I do bass fish, One day I was with them at a lake that they said they stocked trout and as always I put one rod with night crawlers and I fish for bass, God knows I fished for solid five hours and try everything I know of and I didn't catch anything, My friends catch one or two trout during that time. I wanted to set and eat and get back to fishing and by that time my stand rod got bite and I set the hook and try to get the fish and I was feeling it is a catfish, To my surprise it was my PB small mouth ?. On Carolina rig with night crawler, Unbelievable! I was fishing all day and nothing and this rod catches my PB smallie(I don't know if it counts as PB or not). Just wanted to share it with you guys, If you have surprising catch please Share your story as well.

Rod building and lure making is last two rabbit holes that I didn't get into YET Ive done the rest (In good way LOL). Oh and getting my own boat also, I didn't get it yet.

WOW WOW So many you fit there. So I can say I have few haha...

you imagine every week from Thursday to Sunday evening, I am leaving in that truck beside the lake fishing. so I need to carry everything there. I am doing it in trout lakes and I fish for bass same time.

Yeah man, I always upgrading, Now I am adding dome light for tailgate and also I just got a folding table and add to my truck as well

I have two tackle bag, one in car for back up, my on my back when I go fishing, The one in car about 35lb the one at my back about 15lb plus. I have 4 tackle box 3600 size that they stay in car as well. yes I know it is a lot but it is what I need to carry on foot in order to be ready for any situation.

Welcome to Bassresource.

I have extra one, care to share aa picture?

Thank you so much, I got them already. lets see how it will go, Ill upload the results here when I get them.

I always wanted to go edge, This is an opportunity, Ordered two of them, One for chatter baits and the other for jigs, Because honestly I always was unhappy with the way I am dealing with them. Thanks for the recommendation.

since its jigs as well, I can fill two of them up in no time :D, Thanks and it is not on sale of course

Guys recently I start to get in chatter baits so I start to get some, I always had a few to keep here and there but now I am going to carry more than that and I want to have specific tackle box of them, Do you guys have anything in mind?I just got 11 and I have another 10 or so, so the box carry at least 20 is the best option. Thanks

welcome to Bassresource and you are in very good place, Lots of experience anglers here and willing to help and answer all of your questions.

San Diego jam is the knot ands bring the knot down completley before tight it. dont forget to lube. Basically dont burn the line.

I've done the same conversation, except she told me to leave everything at her parents and every summer we meet we can use them and het new ones. guess what? we never visit her parents. Maybe its not good to say but thank god we are divorced from 2015 and I back to fishing after 3.5 year hiccup ?

seven years ago I had sand get into my Revo spinning reel, I take some part out and try to clean and put it back together, But no, I end up putting everything in a bag and sent to Abu ?. Since that day I learned my lesson, Just sending reels back to them to do what they are good at and ill not try to play techie.

welcome to Bassresource.

the Shimano curado will do the job. Thats my set up for that application(I use that for frogging as well).

@Gary H You are very welcome, Sorry if small package

YES thats the plan I know a good spot , But Tom also having some spot in mind, I hope they can be easily be reached as my spot.

This hatch is solid and it will open by remote or if you program by GPS it will be open on the spot that you want, otherwise there is no way this hatch open by pulling pressure. in future I am going to bring the boat to lake for training and ill try to show that as well.

Ok now lets talk about bait boat, This is aqua cat that I was waiting seven months to built and send to me. This boat have good large size bait compartment that you can easily have 2lb bait it, also you can have up to 4lb hang back there and let the boat tow it. I use spool of line so you can see the size and mechanism holding the bait. There is a hiccup when they ship the boat which I will talk about it in my other topic about it.

Ok now it is time to talk about leader. I use 11/0 and 15/0 and 16/0 Mustad circle hooks. I pulled out some aircraft cable from my Boeing 737 which we dismantle for a customer. The cables are about 400 to 600lb and use crimper to make it like this: as you can see I put the weight very close to the hook which it was proven by other shark fisherman to be best arrangement for various reason. I am going to use spider weight 8 to 10oz like this one: this is the hooks: Following that is 400lb mono which did crimp again(aluminum crimps), And it will be about 10 yards. the final product is this one: Ok we are done with leader, Next step will be how going to do it.
