Damn... My whole week is ruined.

I still want to see what you guys got from LTB and MTB. Does anybody know if all the boxes are the same? Like all the Feb MTB Bass Boxes will be exactly the same? Or a random lot for everybody?

Also, anybody get anything good from Bass Pro this week with the Spring Fishing Classic? They had Shimano Saharas on sale for $40 online only and I thought about hopping on one for the hell of it.

I don't care how cute something looks, as long as it's tasty then I have no qualms about killing it, peeling its skin off, dismembering it, and cutting it's muscle tissue up into appropriately sized chunks for cooking.

So.. uh.. how does pompano taste?

Damn, not gonna lie I'm jelly of that setup. I keep thinkin about a nice ultralight setup with 6lb or 8lb braid. If I end up grabbing a Symetre it will probably be for that. Not sure which rod. I really want a St. Croix but can't bring myself to spend $160 on a rod. If I can catch one of their $100 models on sale for 20% off or something, I would totally do it. But good shit like that doesn't go on sale alot.

I would also be down for another Abu rod. Veritas maybe or if I can catch an Ike on sale. I have also heard good things about Fenwick rods and they have some reasonably priced rods. I'll just wait and see what pops up. That's what is nice about needing a rod and reel right this minute. Just be patient and grab a rod on sale at one time and then a reel I like at another. That's how I did that Revo SX and CarbonLite rod. Ended up paying <$200 for a combo that would've been almost $300 at full retail.

This is actually the first St Croix rod I've ever gotten. A few of my buddies swear by them and g.loomis, but I could never stand to spend so much money on one. Honestly I've had the best luck with the bass pro xps rods. Can't beat the build quality for the price.

trailers are nice, even though they are a bit small. the bucktail for this month is interesting. I'm excited to try it out. The shrimp baits will make decent trailers too, and they are soaked in attractant.

You can never have too many circle hooks, so I welcome those.

This months lure is really cool too, it has a quick release so the hooks release from the lure, that will be interesting to try. I'ts nice and heavy too.

The trailers this month where a bit small, but will be good for smaller buck tail trailers on calm days.

Im gonna order a bass box once april comes around, but I feel the inshore stuff is kinda cheesy, especially for us east coast guys. Idk. The shrimp would make a decent teaser. And octopus hooks are always good, but 1/0 is a bit of an interesting size. Maybe good for porgy/sea bass.

Although, I rarely use soft plastics for inshore fishing. Berkeley gulp is all I ever need for bucktail trailers and teasers. At least the bass box im likely to use whatever they put in it.

All the good saltwater stuff is expensive anyway lol. Not likely gonna find it in a box like these.

maybe less damade to lure when fishing for bluefish, or anything else toothy, it gets the mouth away from the body of the lure keeping paint better it also helps keep sharp teeth sway from the line not a necessity but it can be a bit nice desu, ive used one similar once and actually liked it

Such is living at the end of the continent. Although you are in Maine. Did they ship USPS? For some reason, Priority Mail seems to show up really fast no matter where it is mailed from.

Also, did anybody get the LTB Bass box? I still want to compare and see if the extra $10 for the "Pro" box was worth it and if I should do that for the last 2 months.

I forgot I'd changed over to the catfish box for MTB until it came in today. Not quite as flashy and fun as the lures that come in the panfish and bass boxes but since I'm pretty new to fishing, anything is welcome and I have hardly any catfish stuff.

I don't have any saltwater so maybe I'll switch to inshore next month.

Seems to me that's the biggest issue here. The appeal of these boxes is getting all kinda of neat new things to try...as well as a steady supply of plastics...but there's just not much they can do with catfish. Maybe some small sample size jars of dough or dip, some other assorted tackle like bobbers and sinkers but...

This was the first month of it. Think I'll stay on one more and switch my LTB to inshore instead.

The Palm Beach one?

Ehh, if I'm around there I guess I could stop by. There's a couple Rapalas I want to grab in the near future, but I kinda want to chill on the crank baits for a minute. Those Yo-Zuris and X-Raps at $10ea add up.

I wonder if those 500 bonus points from Bass Pro will do anything when they finally show up. I'm still a little disappointed in their rewards points. I thought I would get more than $25 when I brought in probably $700 worth of reciepts. I got spoiled by the Dick's rewards that (used to at least) give you $10 for every $100 spent.

A little off-topic, but Kohl's has a dope rewards points system as well. I bought my mom some earrings from them online, I think it was around $450, and I got $120 in rewards dollhairs. Which I turned into Nike clothes.

Plastics get annoying to buy though because you always get a pack of like 20 and may not even use them a ton.

This is a decent deal. I actually bought this assortment in store somewhere awhile back. I remember that red and copper one, it's an odd color combo.

Know when you're running low on something. No more labelling boxes. Or not labelling them and then opening every box in search of particular lures. Just grab what you plan to use, throw it in the tackle bag, and stroll.

all i can think is that it gives the fish less leverage on the hook (im sure weve all had it happen, where a lure sits just right in a fish's mouth and it pops the hook loose) but its such a rare occourance that i dont even see it as a problem.

It doesn't matter. Seriously, someone who actually fish. doesn't need all those lure types. I legit used like 3 different types of large rubber lures, and like those quick set small "pan-fish" rubber lure kits, and that's it. and can pretty much catch anything in my state, if I'm going to the beach to fish, then ill just stop at a bait shop and get a bucket of like two dozen shrimp.

pretty sure I have more types of lead weighs then I do fishing gear. but I also only own one pole and one cast net. so I'm pretty lame. mostly because I use my motorcycle like 98% of the time when fishing solo. maybe its habit now. dunno, but I don't see the need for that many types of worms.

1 8" worm bag. watermelon
2 baby bass bags. that white-ish blueish color, and the green color like in the pic I'm commenting on. the 2nd row down, on the left close to the hard baits.

Is it a single long piece, or one of those 2-piece handles? Btw, with bicycle grips we would use Windex. Not sure if that applies in this situation but once it dries, the grips would stay real tight.

I still don't understand the difference. I didn't do much fishing for a few years (from like 12 to 23) and when I got back into it a few years ago, that split handle thing was all over and I had never seen it before.

For grips on a dirt bike we usually used hair spray. Spray a lot of excess on the handlebars and then slide the rubber grips on. The hairspray would act as a lubricant when it's still liquid and allow the grip to slide on easily but then it would dry out and act as an adhesive. It's not a very strong adhesive so it was fairly easy to remove worn grips eventually when they needed to be replaced but it was just strong enough to hold them on the handlebars and keep them from sliding or twisting during normal use.

Don't worry. Whenever I try and tackle an afternoon home improvement project, it ends up taking a whole weekend and no less than 3 trips to Lowes.

I know exactly what you are going through.

Traditional pegboard is actually pretty inexpensive and not too hard to work with. Lowe's sells 4'x8' sections of brown for about $15 and white-finished for about $18 per section. The only necessary extra material would be some 1" x 2" "Furring Strips" (They run a bit under-sized but Lowe's has 8' lengths of 1"x2" (Actual .75" x 1.5") strips that'll do fine at under $2 per strip). You'll need that to frame-out the backside of the pegboard for support and to space the pegboard away from the wall (so you can actually put pegs in it). You'll also want to make sure the inner strips are spaced so they line up with your wall studs since you'll be driving screws through the pegboard, through those strips, and into the stud. It isn't required but you could also pick up some picture-frame or wall moulding to install around the out-ward facing edges of your pegboard. That'll conceal and help protect the edges, plus make it look a little nicer.

Tool-wise you probably won't need much more than a pencil, measuring tape, drill w/ screw bit or screwdriver, some 1" (pegboard-to-furring strips) and 2.5" (through pegboard & furring strips into stud) drywall screws, a miter-box & saw to cut your furring strips (and optional moulding), and a level. Most big-name hardware stores like Lowe's and Home Depot will make simple cuts in large materials for free so if you know the dimensions you intend to use you can have them cut your pegboard to size for you. I'd advise it as without a jigsaw or tablesaw and high tooth-count blade it can be hard to cut pegboard cleanly.

The biggest pro with traditional pegboard, aside from being inexpensive, is that it can be easily cut to size and shape. In a shop or garage you can easily frame it around windows or cabinets and make it look real clean. The only real cons are that you can't overload a peg or it might elongate or even rip out from the hole, and installing it is a little more labour intensive.

Also don't make the same mistake I did. I was looking at offerings from Wall Control and ULINE and then got stupid and impulse-purchased some 16"x16" steel "Project Source" panels from Lowe's instead. Their stand-offs are spaced 12" apart which means they won't line up with standard 16" stud spacing and will only line up with 24" spaced studs if hung two-wide. So now I have to tear down my drywall, install some support blocks, hang new drywall, mud it, repaint...

Okay, not really. If I intended to hang tools, drills and other heavy stuff from it I'd absolutely have to do it proper to accommodate the weight, Since they won't ever be holding anything more than packaged lures and soft plastics these SOBs are going up in studs where they can and getting drywall anchored or toggled-bolted where they can't.

>>690159
>Need
That's a dangerous word. I don't "need" a good deal of what I use but I enjoy using it and can afford it so I do use it. Some stuff I use like small soft plastics are just super easy to burn through. On a really good day I might go through a couple bags of panfish plastics if I get into a bunch of bluegill, crappie, perch or the sort. So it's nice, at least for me, to be able to visually see what my supply is looking like whenever I go to pack my tackle bag. One can only offset the hook or melt the head of a soft plastic so many times before it stops staying on a hook or jig head.

Which reminds me of a neat trick. Years ago I had a cauterizing pen that was perfect for soft plastic repair. If anybody wants to try it make sure they get a reusable one with replaceable tips. Might have to pick up another one for myself now that I've remembered it. I've heard soldering irons can do the trick too but I'm not about to gunk up my only battery-powered iron testing that claim.

Also might trade my boat before then. Have a bow rider, want a center console that I'm not worried about throwing in salt. Mine has only seen fresh. Too much of a bitch cleaning it to do salt.

The reel is in REALLY good condition, the only problem that I saw was that the little 'weights' in the centrifugal brake system were made out of like, some sort of foam and they pretty much disintegrated when I took the reel apart. I'll fish with it for a little while as-is and if I decide that I really need those weights then I'll order some replacements.

Cast control is pretty much just the adjustable spool tension cap opposite the handle side.

Not sure about size compared to the modern baitcasters, looking at pics of people holding the size 50 calcutta online I'd guess that it's slightly larger, but not by much. It is significantly smaller than my 5000 series Abu reels.

Turns out they're slightly different. One I had is a flat lipped one, and the MTB will be a mid-diving.

I'm really glad that they sent everything in more natural colors. Silver and gold cranks are my favorite. I will toss some bright stuff if I think I have a chance of some peacocks (snakeheads and largemouths will go for firetiger stuff too) but I have had my best luck on gold crankbaits.

I have good luck with the bright stuff in low light conditions. When the sun is setting or just coming up. Once it is totally dark, I'll do a spinner or something that makes noise.

I was never huge on bright stuff until moving down here. I was at one of the bait shops and the guy was saying peacocks go crazy for bright stuff so I kinda stocked up. I have had really good luck with that Rapala skitter pop in firetiger. And one of my best cranks lately has been this black and yellow Husky Jerk.

Rapala also has those few UV lures. They have a little blue "UV" sticker on the package. But as far as I have seen, they are only deep diving ones.

Reminds me I gotta go back to this corner store next week and get a sweet Busch beer display.

It's like 3' or 4' across, just a cardboard deal, but has a big largemouth bass and is advertising the Busch cans they are selling with the fish on it. I asked the dude if I can have it, and he said come back next week when they are done with it and it's mine.

The after Christmas clearances got me pretty good too. Especially Gander Mountain. I got a shit ton of lures for around $60 between the two trips there.

And I know what you mean about a few lures you don't remember. There is this one copper colored X-Rap that I like a lot, and have been telling myself I need to pick up a larger size in that same color. I was just putting that LTB shit in my box and noticed I did have the same lure in a larger size. Pic related.

I like the feathers on those X-Raps. They mimic the tail in the water. I have really good luck with those lures and will always take a dressed Mepps over a plain one.

And you mentioned the Kastmaster and J hook idea before and I almost grabbed a couple sizes of them when I was at Dick's because of what you said but ended up wasting my money on more Rapalas. Next time I'm over there I will definitely do it. I used have one or two a really long time ago. Same with the Swedish Pimples. I haven't seen those in the longest time.

You can't see it but there's an 8.5lb channel underneath the smaller ones that my buddy caught, it happened to be the lake record for that particular lake. We took it to get it officially weighed and he's sent all the paperwork off to the state fish and game dept to get it certified.

You really need to start scoping out the little ponds and lakes in commercial and industrial areas. I always have the best luck with bass in places like that.

Back in IL, I had this little lake in an apartment complex for old people. They would call the cops on you for fishing there, but I would still go because I would catch 3lb largemout on almost every damn cast. It was incredible.

I found a real small pond kinda like that around here but the bass are smaller. You would never think to fish there, but I was getting littke 12" largemouth almost every cast.

The only bait I use for channel cats anymore is CJ's Punch Bait. I like the Monster and Shad "flavors" I use 20lb mono line with a slip sinker rig using 3/4oz to 2oz weights depending on water conditions and either a #4 or #6 treble hook. I prefer the #4 hooks but will use #6 hooks if the fish aren't biting aggressively.

It's all about finding the fish. I've fished for 3-4 hours going from spot to spot on a lake only catching 1 or 2 fish the entire time and then anchored up in a new spot and caught 20 fish in 2 hours. My rule is if I've sat at a spot for 20 mins and not caught a fish then I pull anchor and move. That's harder to do if you're fishing from the shore but it's always a good idea to switch spots if you haven't caught anything after a while. Some lakes are much better than others as well, you just have to try out as many places as you can until you find your honey hole.

I got permission from an old rancher to go fishing on the stock ponds that he had on his ranch. He had 7 ponds on his place, a few pretty good sized ones, but the best one turned out to be a tiny pond, maybe 20ft across and 40ft wide, couldn't have been more than 6 feet deep at the deepest point, just a mudhole really. Between 3 of us we pulled 9 decent sized largemouth bass out of it in 30 minutes or so. The fish must've just been starving to death in there because they were hitting the lures as fast as we could get them in the water.

Pic related is what I'm talking about. This is one of my favorite fishing spots. All those big warehouses are deserted on weekends so I go over there on a Sunday and do my thing.

Unless your regular fishing hole is real good. Do your thing then I guess. I love trying new spots though. There are a couple ponds right down the street from me next to some businesses and I-95 and I can just stop by there for 45min after work if I want and cast around. Never really had a problem since I'm white and just walk around and cast rather than setting up a bucket and try to set up camp like some people do. Although I could totally get away with it on weekends if I really wanted to set out a bunch of rods and break out the folding chair.

Google Maps is your friend as well.

There is one bigger lake there, and it looks like it is clear from behind those houses. And it isn't so close to the houses where you will piss them off.

And then there are two smaller ponds to the south that look like you might be able to get to them. Gotta look for stuff like that. I just plead ignorance to "No Tresspassing" signs and try not to hop any tall fences. My one lake I have to walk through some random gate in the fence by these businesses to get to the lake. I go there all the time and have never had an issue. Just smile and wave to people and act like you belong.

It's really strong here.

It's mainly this area of FL. Between Miami and West Palm Beach pretty much. If you are ever near Ft. Lauderdale, just go to the beach, go like 6' deep into the water, and float on your back or on a raft. Relax for 10 minutes, and look back at the shore. You will be 100yds to the north if the current is going. And that is when you are right by the beach. I can't imagine being in a kayak or a boat with a blown engine a few miles out.

A lot of the Bermuda Triangle stuff is because of that as well. If a ship sinks in deeper water, it can be miles north of the original location by the time it actually hits the bottom of the ocean. So they search the last known location of the boat and can't find it.

I haven't looked at those maps in awhile. I forgot the gulfstream was at its strongest here and isn't anything like that up the east coast.

It's a hell of a choke point that really restricts the area that the water has to flow through, so it ends moving much faster in that area.

Around here, the water is really warm. You can see from the NOAA pic other anon posted, the ocean feels like a heated swimming pool. Ultra comfy. But the water is deep too. I was talking to some fishing boat captain at the bar a couple years ago and he was telling me something like 5 miles offshore and you are already in water over a mile deep.

Lol wait, arent you the guy with the bail less ssv? Kind of ironic haha.

Some people get heavy duty rubber bands, double them over and loop them around the rod. Then when you flip the bail you pop the rubber band over the bail so it can't close. Not sure of the exact mechanics, but ive seen it on youtube.

Looks like a decent bucktail too. Hair looks thick, decent hook. I prefer better eyes though. Those little stickers never last.

You catch em on the bucktail or the teaser? Assuming you retied with another bucktail. Which brand and size bucktails do you like?

Yeah but I don't use a 6k reel to fish flounder.

I was using an Okuma NS 20, and It's pretty new so I haven't taken the bail trip off yet.

>Looks like a decent bucktail too. Hair looks thick, decent hook

Yeah it's one of my smaller striper bucks, only tied it on to rig in lieu of loosing that nice MTB bucktail which was perfect size for flounder.

the pollock hit the bucktail from MTB.

About the bail trick, I usually take apart my spinning reels with bails and take the plastic trip out, which means I have to manually close it everytime, which should be the case anyways.
awesome tip though I will try it if I'm ever using an reel without the trip removed

Im gonna get an abu veritas or maybe a cheaper st croix to pair it with.

Shimano Symetre. Or maybe an Abu Revo S. But my next spinning reel is gonna be a Symetre. I was at Bass Pro a couple months ago and was talking to dude who works there for like an hour and he was raving about how it is nicer than reels that cost significantly more. I was looking at Abu reels for $120-$150 and he said he prefers the $100 Symetre to those.

Also, there's a lack of spinning reels right in that $100 range it seems like. You can get a lot of reels for $50-$70, and a lot for $130-$160. Just seems like there isn't much for right around $100.

5.00 - Trout Stamp
15.00 - Chesapeake Bay (and tributaries)/Coastal
5.00 - Recreational Crabbing License ($2 if you already have the Bay/Tidal/Coastal license)

$42.50 covers all your bases for recreational fishing/crabbing.

Also DNR had a great quote on their page with this information:

>"To go fishing is the chance to wash one's soul with pure air, with the rush of the brook, or with the shimmer of sun on blue water. It brings meekness and inspiration from the decency of nature, charity toward tackle-makers, patience toward fish, a mockery of profits and egos, a quieting of hate, a rejoicing that you do not have to decide a darned thing until next week. And it is discipline in the equality of men - for all men are equal before fish." - Herbert Hoover

Maryland DNR's trout stocking program is funded entirely by the sale of non-tidal fishing licenses, trout stamps, and some federal funds (from the Sport Fish Restoration Act). The TLDR is that trout stamp sales put money money into DNR who ensures that trout remains a plentiful sport fish in Maryland waters.

honestly depends on where you fish, the dam near me is probably the Maine Wardens' most lucrative money making area, and Marine Patrol.

I see people get tickets daily during the spring to early summer season for fishing 150' too close to the dam.

I've seen wardens take peoples fishing gear for catching legal fish over the illegal line.

Otherwise I rarely get asked for my license, also if the water is brackish it primarily falls under Marine Patrol jursidiction, and is considered salt fishing so you technically don't need a license to fish brackish, even if it is 5 miles inshore.

It's a popular vacation spot, way too many people on the river, and they make a lot of revenue by writing tickets for no fishing license (if you have fishing poles in your canoe), not having your trash in trash bags, having glass bottles, public intoxication, and minor in possession... It's pretty much a racket up there.

In TX I've been asked for my fishing license 3 times. Once at a "community fishing pond" that the state stocks with rainbow trout, once fishing the tailrace beneath a lake's dam when they were discharging water, and another time fishing a pond in a state park.
