I've heard talk of season closure also. I'm sure in all there wisdom Fish and Game will take into consideration there spawning,like the trout, and close it in the cold month of Febuary coincidentaly when fishermen fish and "spend money" the least. Be a great plan if they could talk the fi...

I use the strike king flats jig heads alot, they have an extremely wide gap hook. I usually use them with the strike king trout tubes but they work well with other larger soft plastics, maybe the larger gulp shrimps. Oh yeah, they are extremely sharp hooks, many times I will snag small bait fish nib...

You need some small clark spoons in 00 size for those spanish, they will not hit larger lures, especially when the bait they are feeding on is small. http://www.seastriker.com/clarkspoon/clarkspoon_files/page0001.htm http://www.seastriker.com/clarkspoon/clarkspoon_files/page0002.htm Also small Gotch...

We use one that cost about $100 bucks (I think its a Standard Horizon) and it worked ok, we finally had a full size one installed and it works much better and has a lot more range. Do not count on your cell phone getting a signal or keeping its charge, etc.. plus cell phones are not water resistant ...

Those composite wood lumber you were thanking of does not have the same strength as regular lumber. They can not be used where they will have to support a load like regular lumber. And doubling them probably still would not be strong enough as they would probably sag over time. All building codes an...

I like the Diawa Millionaire series which I think has been replaced by the Luna series. They cast light lures a mile, I use a CZ103 and a CX103, great reels.

Views: 1899

My favorite spinning reels are the Stamina series from Abu Garcia, they have the drag in the bottom of the spool instead of the top. It gives you much more surface area for consistent and smoother drag performance, and you change the pressure by spinning a ring on the outside of the spool, not on th...

Do some searches on this site for pontoon and deck boats and you will get a lot of information. We were considering them but decided against them, but they can be a good choice if you know their limitations. Their pluses are they handle a lot of people and are great family boats. They get good gas m...

They should work fine as long as they are not the magnesium version, which are highly corrosive in saltwater. If they are the standard version then all should be good. One thing I do with reels that have wiffle spools (ones with the holes in the spool) is to wrap teflon tape (plumbers tape) around t...

Yes, red colors start loosing their red color component, it will slowly turn brown then grey as you get deeper. It does not "disappear" as Cajun Line will have you think. If it did, then all Navy Submarines would be painted red to be "stealth" submarines. As far as what about red...
