Hey ya'll, Any place to get these besides Tackle Warehouse? Done some web searching and I've come up empty.

^^^ 8, that is exponentially better than whoever the heck girl sings that song normally. We have any TOOL fans on here? I have no idea what to think of this band. Someone recommended them to me.

Pretty chilly in NY over next 10 days or so. NC looks promising. Spring break in 9 days. Start the countdown.

With that mouth, eating frogs means that fish is on a diet

Aberdeen Bait and Tackle located in Aberdeen, NC. Far and away the best Look em up and see some of the photos.

I agree. Trailer hooks on spinnerbaits stress me out too. Just kidding ?. All personal preference

Dang it's only 3 hooks for that price? Didn't catch that. Yeah, I like the idea of using other hooks for this purpose as well. Thanks

Thanks for posting that up! I've been looking at his cosmic spinnerbaits. Nice seeing a photo of it up close.

Monofilament has to be green for me. No idea why, it just has to be. I'm uncomfortable if it's clear.

Hey ya'll, Anyone use these and like em? Thoughts on how well they work with thicker plastics? Biggest size I could see on TW was a 2/0. General comments on experiences with these hooks are welcome! I like the idea of neko rigging, but not neko rigging with a spinning rod, tiny hooks, and light line.

I've told this one before already but for those that missed it, here goes. Another kayak paddle mishap. During a trip last summer, I got everything into my kayak and had it launched into the lake, and was already drifting away from shore while I fiddled with the electronics and getting stuff ready when I realized I didn't have my paddle. I look over onto the shore and see it right where I launched from. My first stupid instinct is to try and paddle with my hands. When I realized this was futile, I started looking for things to grab onto. Fortunately, the wind drifted me towards the end of a dock so I reached out with a rod and gently pulled myself towards it. I then used the dock and the shoreline as handles for me to push and pull my way back to where my paddle was. I don't forget my paddle anymore... knock on wood

I think we had a thread on this last year and I had no idea how to respond. I still don’t. There’s just so much to like. Nature, puzzle-solving, surprise, anticipation, different methods of fishing. Hurry up spring!

Just caught Whiskey Myers in concert in Jersey with a buddy. They are one of my favorite bands and they didn’t disappoint live by any stretch. “On the River” live was fantastic, “Stone” was stunning. Really good concert. I only wish it went longer, and it was almost 2 hours

I'm in for grass jigs ? Thanks Mike!

agree with this

I can only imagine...

Just what I was thinking ?

Garmin 5" unit. Has sonar, clearview, and a blank map for waypoints and stuff. The trouble is I'm not sure if I can refine the waypoints down enough for me to see a spot close enough that it's within casting distance. I never tried it last season. Time to explore! ?. I've done this before. It works for general location, but I can't see myself getting precise using this method. But thank you!

I'll give that a shot ?. Apart from trying to use waypoints, mapping on electronics, I brainstormed one, not sure how I like it. This is alternative to using a buoy and only works for one point. Take a heavy weight on a rod and drop it vertically down on a spot you want to mark. Leave bail open. Back off to where you want to cast from, and then lift up on the rod and reel in slack to see the direction of your spot. Reel in your line to avoid tangling. Make a mental note of direction, and then cast to it.

Hey ya'll, I've been thinking about different ways to help visually aid myself while attempting to fish structure. I watched Paul Elias one time mark his catches and the side of an underwater point using buoys to act as targets to cast to. For instance, he could mark the end of a point with a buoy, and then place himself on the edge of the point, and then cast to the buoy. This would help ensure that he was working his bait right along the point's ledge. As I start thinking about other ways to do this, was curious to get ya'lls thoughts on how you attempt to work structure through deliberately accurate casts. I watched Bryan New in a recent tournament work a patch of grass offshore. He mentioned how you had to cast very accurately to this grass patch in order to get bit. I think a problem I've had fishing structure before is not paying enough attention to angles, boat positioning, and trying to thoroughly work a piece of structure. Anyways, what works for you?

I feel like this can apply for any major technique that you want to fine-tune with your equipment One rod works. So does 6. Jigs is a pretty broad category between all the jig styles nowadays. Biggest advantage I can see to carrying more than one rod with a technique is your ability to have different lure weight ranges to throw on different rods. Not entirely necessary, but as others said, it adds convenience Username checks out

You're a different breed, that's all I can say. But apart from that, a lot of things some people consider dangerous nowadays are no more dangerous than taking a long car drive. I try not to restrict myself too much, but also try and keep some sense of safety about me. It's worked pretty good so far

Please let me know what you think of those nichols depth finders when you get em in the water

Yeah, you're right. The common theme is I ain't got a clue
