Good stuff

Great thread Shocks..... you da man

I am ready for breakfast but want to top with two fried eggs - maple syrup!!!!!

changing gears

Don't know why

Have a son that is a bow fisherman. He asked me to cut the tenderloin out of a big one once. Tried with the electric fillet knife. Told him to get the chain saw and do it himself or throw it away.

love a sax

have to agree. Hooked a few myself and can not find a pair of pliers long enough to cut the line. Think some folks like to eat those. Say its great. taste like chicken......just give me chicken. Frog legs are a different story, love em. Runner up or 3rd has to be the "Mudfish". In the eighties on West Point Lake locals called it a mother in law fish. UGLY

And the #1 ugliest is?????

They say excellent smoked but already had ribs on the Green Egg. Lots to love about your corner of the world.

just a forgotten tune

one of my favorite theme songs

No, but most of my fishing is inshore, and regulars at it use a decent value reel vs the high end stuff because of the harsh conditions. I would never take my better bass rigs to the bay or surf for a morning. Most important thing here is have the drag set right and flushing all with fresh water after use. Bill Dance had a good piece on setting your drag years ago for any type of fishing. On setting the drag the rod comes into play. Stand up and drop the line with lure to the ground. With a foot on the bait pull the rod up and adjust drag until line easily and smoothly comes off the reel.

Wow, was about to suggest a value package when thinking $400 to much. You guys would shame me for the fly rig my son bought and left with me.

Would think good line a must. Have had some bad experiences trying to fly fish because the line actually sank a bit.

There is a reason you do not lip a saltwater if unsure or grab its gill plate.
