  1. That one I will agree with.
  2. I just use B10S in size 2, 4 & 6. Mostly 2's.
  3. Tarpon and Redfish fisherman need boat mechanics too.
  4. Many years ago I had been fishing a ledge around Aunts Creek on Table Rock with a jerkbait and getting some really crazy results. The jerkbait would scrape across the top of that ledge just before it dropped off greatly. On one of those scrapes I somehow snagged a huge rock, must have weighed 27 pounds, just as the bait was at the edge and that rock tumbled off the ledge and headed for the bottom. Rod doubled over, drag screaming, this is a huge fish. YUUUUGGGEEEE! I was so disappointed when I finally figured out it wasn't a fish.
  5. Was on a boat with a guy that caught one around 125. Eat your wheaties.
  6. I recently bought the Strike King Tour Grade buzzbait and it works really well. I think the blade is more like the one Wrench is talking about. When I was a kid my dad helped me setup a buzzbait spinner in the bed of his pickup. It was a crude piece of crap made out of wood that would probably hold a dozen buzzbaits but I never had more than a couple. They would spin for the 20 miles out to the farm ponds we fished. That was in the late 70's.

  8. Well stop it please. I'm trying to get rid of bows not add more stuff to the collection.
  9. Probably not well. The thing is the fish are rough. You catch a 18 inch ladyfish and the line will be frayed up about 24 inches. They are hard on line. They usually aren't that skittish. I've used 20lb flouro with decent results. Braid works too but it doesn't turn a fly well. There are some wire leaders that look promising but I haven't tried them. I usually carry a few extra leaders and a half dozen clousers. Head in when those are gone. They are hard on flies to. I've only had a few fish take me into my backing. Those all came in two days on the beach. And those fish were into the backing almost immediately. There was no slowing or turning those fish. It was just a whole bunch of hoping that I didn't lose my fly line. Still have no idea what any of them were.
  10. Ladyfish are everywhere and are pretty much considered trash fish. But they put up a hell of a fight and aerial display so I still like them. I've never been truly redfish fishing but have caught some off the beach. And that was all on a clouser. Tan and white is a killer. Your biggest point of concern is going to be a leader. Those fish are hard on things. All of them.
  11. Agreed. Yesterday on my lunch hour I ran out to Fellows to catch some bucket fish. Had a freaking blast doing it too. They decided to live in a nicer environment for the winter.
  12. However. If you get a bunch of ladyfish coming through then a gurgler can be a whole lot of fun. Or a wiggle minnow. Or a clouser. Did anyone mention clouser yet. Smaller than what you would think.
  13. Exactly. You don't need anything else to have a really good time.
  14. One of my favorite places to fly fish is wading the beach. It's an interesting place.
  15. Was at a friends house over the weekend who has small pond behind his house. Several years ago it went dry. They cleaned it out and fixed the leaks and it refilled and held water so they started stocking it. Then otters showed up. He wasn't sure what to do so he called MDC. Was told there was way too many of them, just shoot them. But he never saw them again. Last year he saw a couple but they were never around when he was armed.
  16. More googled pics that nobody asked to see.
  17. Still haven't seen anybody doing it. Ever. Even on a lake that is supposed to be huge for it like Lake Fork, haven't seen it.

    What's Cooking?

    After.
  19. I don't care. Haven't you figured that out yet? C'mon man, you have to be smarter that this.
  20. Duane doesn't go fishing, he goes catching.
  21. My initial response had zero doubt. But just soon as I do that somebody throws down a raw file and makes me look like an idiot. I don't need any extra help in doing that.
  22. Once you know what you are doing it's really not that much trouble or hard.
  23. He might have taken all three shots but I looks strongly like a compilation. Which I have zero problems with as long as that is disclosed.
  24. Are you kidding??? I'd find my wife lying on the flo.......................... Where did you say you ordered those?
