Cuda makes a pair of what they call "braid shears", basically modified scissors for about $7. Good, inexpensive stuff. I have two pair for over a year now and they are still cutting braid. Tried the Rapala braid scissors, they are cheap, but after a month or two of use would not cut braid.

1926 Old Town Canoe restoration
Quillback replied to ColdWaterFshr's topic in General Angling Discussion
No experience, but that is a neat canoe, good luck! -
Where did you get that calcium nitrate? Your garden looks great BTW!

Safeway grocery stores in the Seattle area had prepared Chinese food in the deli area. Believe it or not, they had the best General Tso's chicken I have ever had. Little Chinese take out joint down the road from me has decent General's Chicken, but still have yet to find an equal to Safeway. Next time I am up in Springfield I'll have to try Ichiban.

I put on mono backing then maybe 100 yards of braid. Main reason I do that is the braid I use is a lot more expensive than cheap mono. Braid, especially light braid less than 15 lb. test or so is also very thin diameter, so if you fill a spool with braid it can take a lot of it. With all that said, I don't know what Spider Wire costs.

That is pretty neat, good to see people catching them! So Bill, what do you think is the reason the fish are getting bigger on average? Is it more water being released with TR being so high the last few years?

Yes sir, and I agree, very tasty. Prolific too.

Cape Fair and way up the James 7-7-21

Been using those Fusion trebles also. They are sharp sons of guns. -
Here's what I picked today.

Cape Fair and way up the James 7-7-21

Nice fish! I think every deep crank manufacturer out there overstates the diving depth. I suppose if you let out 150 feet of line, (light line like 8# test) and then trolled, a crank would get down to the depth advertised, but no way on a normal cast. -
Glad to see ya'll got into them. Champ is probably hooking up the boat right now.

That is the guy. $4K per day on the weekend, minimum two days to fish there. Fishing at La Perla Ranch - Tecomate's La Perla Ranch (laperlaranchresort.com)

Yep, triploid. Washington state record for rainbows was broken when I lived there, it was an escaped triploid from a fish farm, hung around the nets eating fish food until one day it made the mistake of moving down lake and got caught. There's a private man made lake in Texas where they feed the bass some kind of giant shrimp and they hope to get a world record there. People can pay to fish there, but it is really expensive. I'm not a big fan of a feeding operation to raise record fish myself, but it is what it is.

Thanks for the report, good to see you had a great time!

Man, that would've made a great video.

I never got a good look at his bait, but I know that "Table Rock Shad" color is kind of a yellow/chartreuse side on Megabass baits, and a white side with a purple top on Lucky Craft baits. His bait sure did look like it had some yellow in it, but that was based on just watching Skeet make a couple of casts.

That is interesting Pete. I never have fished a wacky Senko fast, but have had a few chase it in on the retrieve, probably should have learned something from it. Got a BassBlaster email today, didn't have Wheeler's baits in there, but mentioned that Skeet was throwing a Pointer 78 DD in Table Rock Shad.

Just got an email from MDC announcing that 5 elk permits were drawn for 2021.
-
I didn't watch enough myself, but I did see Skeet land one on a jerk bait. Every time I see KVD work the jerker, whether it's a fishing show or a tourney, he always works it like a mad man.

Nice ^^^. I have been picking beans for about a week now, a few cukes, couple of handfuls of cherry tomatoes, and now have a few big tomatoes that will be ready for picking in a day or two. Need to pick up some bacon and lettuce, looking forward to some BLT's!

DNA editing, that is some serious egghead level stuff. Pete could probably do it. 😉

More molecular warfare, be pretty cool if the can develop something that whips Alzheimers and Sickle cell.

As I understand the process, a vaccine trains your body to recognize and attack the virus you are vaccinated for. So you do get the virus, but your body reacts and destroys it before it can effect you. If you are un-vaccinated then it takes longer for your bodies defenses to respond and that allows the virus time to get entrenched and make you sick. Being vaccinated also will keep you from spreading the disease. That's my layman's understanding anyway.

I've made ceviche with salmon, it is good. I think any reasonably eatable fish will make a good ceviche.

Never could bring myself to try the urchin goop either.
