Darth-Baiter

I went. Picked clean. I found some necklaces that I couldn’t clearly call out as glass.

I’ve been casually looking for some. I hit up some craft stores, but it’s never perfectly clear to me if the beads were glass or plastic. I wanted glass. They are surprisingly difficult ti find locally. Of course TW has them, but I never remember them when I’m shopping. I found some while waiting for my dentist appointment. Of all places, Dick’s sporting goods. They only had 6mm red glass ones and black 8mm beads. I grabbed a pack of the reds. im gonna put one inline with my tungsten weight for some added noise. That’s the plan anyways. Using it in my Texas rigs. any other uses?

I’m an explorer. It kinda sucks. I go to new places all the time. Sometimes it’s like risking a skunk. New place = new challenges. I find a great spot and it’s my friends that benefit from my collected intel. But whatever. I love to explore. I hope it makes me a better fisherman.

K. I started with the same Garmin. I too wanted to upgrade. Mostly for GPS and maps. I just took a tiny step up with the Lowrance Hook5 Reveal. I wish I could say there isn’t a hiding place I can’t penetrate with my FF, but I can’t. It’s the same fish finding abilities. I just see arches. I didn’t upgrade to the point my battery was undersized. Something I wanted to keep in mind. I imagine some of the more elaborate and bigger units suck way more juice. I didn’t get side scan but I would if I took another step up. Seems useful.

People do dumb things all the time. The trick is to learn from them. I would have moved heaven and earth to help that lady. What’s your boats capacity where a big woman would push you over the edge? ”that conversation didn’t last very long”. Ouch.

I need to sell one. Wife and I jokingly call the extra kayak, “the client boat”. But in all seriousness, I am only one person and I only need one kayak. I figured out painless storage. I could use the money to buy something really ridiculous like livescope ;D i took pictures a month ago. I have yet to post up the for sale ad. I’m not even sure why. it’s not in the way. I’m not a hoarder.

I did this once. Weirdest feeling rod ever. I didn’t even snap off that much. 3 inch or so.

10 minutes on the water. At home - TBD.

Noooo! I’ve made it a habit to never lay anything on the ground anymore. I will stomp it to death, or run it over with my truck.

It’s a two hour drive for me to some of the closer portions of the delta. im going Saturday if it’s not blowing hurricane gales. I have some delta jigs coming in the mail.

Is the reel spooled to the correct level? Too much or too little line mine will behave badly.

I totally use NOAA. The national weather service actually. I just punched in the wrong city and almost went out tomorrow in huge winds and a big rainstorm. Gah! Who knew there was a distant city with the same name as the lake I was gonna try? my kayak is already loaded in my truck. I guess I can unload it all in the rain tomorrow. This is the weirdest spring weather-wise. Strange. I love the tabular feature on the National Weather Service website. You can track a day by hour.

Yup. Reading the literature about PFD rankings can freak you out onto dry land permanently:) our vest are for activities and keeping a conscious person afloat. There is truly no free lunch.

Thanks bud. But I think you’re still thinking of someone else’s point. But I get it I was not clear and see how I steered you in that direction. I was questioning clarity, weight, and really if the added cost was worth it. Again a huge proponent of safety glasses. I’ve moved on to sizing now. And hiw my head is so huge.

Let’s do this! Right up until the wind rips up

My head is apparently enormous:)sending them back for a larger style. Wow. With a melon as huge as mine I would have hoped to have been much much smarter. dang.

I think they are interchangeable in fishing. However I find a spinner bait way less snaggy in timber. It just bounces about. A chatter bait : I utter a prayer when I throw it into cover.

Yea. I’m thinking the ocean mainly. Haha. But some big lakes freak out people. I once told a guy we were in 140 feet of water, and turned white. He would have panicked. For sure.

I have a chinook and a Ninja. The ninja is more comfy. It rides perfectly for my kayak seat. I wore it a few times but it’s my loaner vest. It’s very new. I use the chinook mainly because I’m too lazy to move all my stuff over to the Ninja. Knife, whistle, etc. if I bought one, I’d go with the ninja. It’s less intuitive putting it on since you have to slip your head thru and snap it on the side.

I have friends that don’t wear them. Most are ex surfers that think they are Aquaman. I wear mine. I have issues of approaching a panicked person in the water with my kayak. I think the danger of them sending me in the water is real. If they don’t have a pfd and they are panicking. Yikes. Cuidado! in addition I have friends that won’t wear harnesses in tree stands. At least that’s a solo event that won’t risk me when I rescue them.

Around here showing up later may just cost you some top water action but that’s it. Everything else is fair game.

I thought the resins eventually succumb to UV rays from the sun? Dunno.I can barely afford aluminum reels. CF? Ouch.

Yup. I promised my wife…no exceptions. that pop singer Naya Rivera drowned after she pushed her kid on the boat only to realize she couldn’t climb back on herself. She went under. Her kid watching I presume. no thanks.

I just have to have one onboard. Within reach. I put mine on/off at the truck. I’ll die if I get separated from the kayak. Unless I’m near shore.

Did that bait monkey send you.? I’m gonna try a couple. Blaze and stealth minnow.
