    This is an extension from the 'Picking Out New Baits' thread in which I said my wife and boy were bass bait shopping for my birthday.  They done good.

That he did.

Thanks for mentioning the Sony. I was looking to buy a can to mount on my yak for this season. $128 and it comes with everything. Does the waterproof case have a 1/4-20 mount on the bottom? Only negative I see is when facing forward you can't see the screen and know if it's aimed properly.

I think you can use a cell phone to use wifi and see the screen.

Yes you can if your phone is connected to wifi, in both this camera and the gopro, but the issue is, you aren't connected to wifi on the water or at the lake

 

3G or 4G or any type of phone data won't work because the camera has a wifi adapter not for cellular data

If you use hot spot you are B)

YOUR ALL HORRIBLE ENABLERS!!!!

Lol.. I just bought a Sony HSR AS20 package off Amazon. The camera, 32gb sd card, charger, all the accessories... I paid $161 and some change .. oh plus a 3 rod holder for my boat.

Sucker! Haha

You know what they say about peer pressure.

I'm sure I'll end up with one too.

I was impressed with it watching it on YouTube.. And everyone backing it how couldn't I !?... $128 for the package , $20 for the accessories package, and 13 for my holders.. I am officially tapped! Oh plus $300 on my reel and $140 on the rod I spent this morning.

Somebody go buy my stuff for sale in the flea market so I can buy a camera.

At $160 I wouldn't have as high as standards as $400+ on Gopro

Hey any of you who got in on the hudd deluxe bluegill order like I did- any projection on when we should see those?  I'm in no rush whatsoever - the water around here is still "drive an ATV on it" thick"-  but I'm kind of curious.

My 7'7" tatula should be here today.

Just need to order another reel, pliers, soft plastics, jigs, sunglass retainer, rod sock, couple crankbaits, umbrella rig, buzzbait, 20 lb line, and on and on and on.

It's getting out of hand

Where do I start? Two Metaniums, a Megabass rod, various crankbaits and topwaters, pliers, a Shimano fleece jacket, a Halo flippin stick, Gerber multi-tool, and I'm sure there's some other gear I've already forgotten about.

 

 

Of course my wife is at work as I'm typing this...probably not too smart to leave a digital trail of the evidence but hopefully she won't see it.

I fear for the day my wife finds my YouTube unboxing channel... Or logs into my Tackle Warehouse account. So I feel your fear.

The first day back out I'm going to be like a kid in a candy store, I honestly won't even know what to throw first.

Cool thanks, I was just curious.  

 

 

Also, I'm toying with the idea of getting rid of my NRX 852c/51e mean green finesse casting combo and could use some of your thoughts.  The only reason I say that I'm thinking about it is because I have a really clean Supreme XT spinning reel sitting around and I think it would pair perfectly with an 7'1" MXF rod for my light plastics.  Just the ease and skippability of the spin, and the sexiness of those Envys...  I already have the reel and if I sold the Green Machine I could get the *** and have plenty left over to go back into savings.  It seems to make sense in my head.  Am I taking crazy pills??  WWYD?

I think that makes perfect sense lol, but im not a big fan of finess casting setups. I feel like thats what spinning gear is there for.

The Shimano Brenious is calling my name. I must resist the rare and elusive Japanese Bait Monkey...

Ordered a elite tech and an hmg. This one showed up right and the hmg showed up an eagle gt. One call and the vendor is making it right, oh well too cold to fish anyway haha.

The first day back out I'm going to be like a kid in a candy store, I honestly won't even know what to throw first.  

 

I have this problem bad.  The water is 50 degrees, what should I throw?  A boring little plastic, or that new topwater that I was drooling over?  I also have a problem where I will keep throwing a lure, even though I know I should change it, because I just want it to work.

 

 

My real weakness is crankbaits, and eBay is my biggest enabler.  I have a weakness for anything unique or cool, like vintage crankbaits and especially handmade crankbaits.  I have boxes of baits that have never seen the water, and others that I would like to repair but haven't gotten around to it.  I've spent more than I care to admit on jointed swimbaits, especially considering, A: the number of baits it's gotten me, and, B: the number of fish they've caught.

in the last week...  Two of the $49.99 Pro Qualifier reels for back ups, several LC 2.5 on clearence for $9, 18" black wheels for the bass boat, Bass Mafia sweatshirt Beanie LS shirt, a new Skeet Pro Carbon rod, and several used baits from the BR Flea Market.  Ugh I need to go fishing.  Oh line for days, floro, mono and braid.

On the hudd site ken said he was on pace to deliver all at the expected 6-8 weeks originally quoted. Got some weedless 8's on the way here now.
