    Lep's Flea Market

    Turning over a new leaf in 2025 and its about time, too. As much as I love Fishing and collecting fishing gear, it takes up too much of my time and I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics such as cleaning and maintaining my home, so something has to give. I will be getting rid of my...

    Fishing Gifts

    Forget the boat. You have enough friends with boats to make it redundant. Besides, right now at the end of a trip while walking off the dock you get to say "Hey Cap, she's running a little rough - please fix that before next weekend rolls around." 8-) As for fishing gifts - my fam knows better...

    Combo Chartplotter/FF??

    So I just re-read the title of this thread. You want to use this as a combo plotter/FF? That I wouldn't recommend if you plan to split-screen it. Have two tiny 3.5" images next to each other would be kinda tough to use. Running with one or the other full-screened would be O.K., but as a...

    So that's it for 2024. Altogether, a somewhat underwhelming year's fishing. Fluke significantly off from years past, and as for the tog, though we had trips during which they chewed their heads off, well, the rec keepers were tough to come by off JI. Went down to the boat Christmas Eve, before...

    Combo Chartplotter/FF??

    Hiya Mitch, yep, I went with a GPSMAP 743 stand-alone GPS, no FF in it. It's a really nice unit, lightening fast chart refreshing and no external antenna needed. I never thought I'd like a touch-screen unit, but having to input 400 waypoints on a touch screen is tits, compared to the endless...

    NY Mets

    I think Sterns is holding off on Pete right now, because he's looking at the Japanese 1st baseman Munetaka Murakami - coming over to play in MLB next year. Hit .318 with 56 dingers in '22. Can't give Pete a long contract if they go get this Japanese 1st baseman after next season. Unless Pete is...

    So then don’t ask her to try it. Just use it in front of her and then put it away without saying a word. I guarantee she’ll give it a test drive when you’re not around. That’s how they operate. Its just a chess game, gotta use . . . “Strategery.” 🙄

    There seems to be a problem with a double posting error. I will address this with George.

    Crabbie - if you are concerned about "voids" there are two ways to address this. One - really slather on enough epoxy that the space between the tape arbors are well filled as you push/twist the grip up from the bottom of the blank (which is what I showed in my three threads, albeit with...

    Turn back the page

    The very last flounder trip on the Leprechaun - May of 2009. Had my old friend Donn/DCBassin aboard and we ran from Seaford all the way up Raritan Bay, within sight of the Outerbridge Crossing to get 'em. That was a VERY long way to go to fill a pail, but at that point in time it was make the...

    Product Review

    Nice, but I still value my decrepit body enough to NOT buy her a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. If she follows thru with what I think her reaction would be, it'll be tough to do my boat's Spring prep from a full-traction bed. Buuut - I COULD get it for myself - and then ask if my wife would...

    Crabman - T 'Dubs has it right. Go back to my three threads and take another read-thru and look at how it's done. It's all right there.

    I greatly prefer quality EVA myself, and would always go in that direction (see my previous three rebuilds). But his intention was that he has a set of four of these and wants to keep them matching perfectly. Thus the pre-formed cork grip suggestion.

    Sorry, I was watching the Knick game w/my son. He’s even more diehard Knicks/Mets than I am, and that takes some doin’. You’re on the right track. I would make five tape arbors with 1/2” tan masking tape, fitting each to the grip in turn - to moderately snug. Next slather it all up with the...

    Your welcomed. Just cut the forward tenion off the new grip and push it up flush with bottom of the reel seat. Replace the entire grip. It would look like a foogazy half-ass patch job to do it any other way, because the new cork will probably not be a perfect match for the old, thus a partial...

    Mine's on the way. Also a few "special touches" from AliExpress vendors Heighten and Gomexus, and a spool of 20lb Momoi Diamond Braid Gen3 in orange. Gonna be a nifty little fluke killer.

    Crabman - I feel your pain. You can refer to my three rod "rebuilding" threads for how to make this situation right. https://nyangler.com/threads/how-to-turn-a-perfectly-good-custom-stick-into-a-better-one-hopefully.4858/...

    Hit the 90' drops N of 17 for 45 minutes w/o a tap. Moved to Jersey 65' and had some very limited life. Capt Mike, Robbie Pav and I ended with only 3 Rec keepers and a bunch of Comm toss-backs. A truly gorgeous ocean today - like Capt. Mike said "50 miles of ocean-running and not a drop of water...

    Abu Revo vs. Penn Squall

    Hiya Scott - so first off, both the Abu Revo series and the Penn Squall/Fathom baitcasters come out of the Korean company "Doyo's" factory. Its Pure Fishing's way of consolidating production expenses, as they own both Abu and Penn. Not a bad thing, just wanted to put it out there. I understand...
