    I’m a big believer that “tall fences make for good neighbors.” Sounds like you are as well.

    Yep, I've written on this before - maybe to address this question that was (I think it was you - but maybe not) already asked in the past. Anyways, here goes. I have one neighbor, directly across the street from my side yard who some years ago tried to enlist a few of the other neighbors to...

    This has been a cold winter so far

    Yes, I’ve alway heard that as well. Going on 50 years, now that I think about it. Is it true? Maybe.

    The toughest / easiest fish to catch

    Toughest in my area? DD Fluke. Only one (11.2lbs in 2006) in 55 years of fishing. DD Tog MUCH easier (until recently). MY DD came on a dead sticked tandem-hooked whole squid, btw. Easiest? BSB, but as hartattack wrote, NY keepers another story.

    NICE Reel! Wonder where you heard about it? ;) If you can, break it down and give it a full preventative lubing. Both Daiwa and Shimano reels not made in Japan ship with very little factory lubrication. At the very least, remove the right side plate screws and hit them with some reel grease...

    Another Braid-to-Leader Knot that's pretty straightforward

    The problem is that the Alberto and the various derivatives thereof will not smoothly enter small guides and especially smaller-ringed tiptops w/o the possibility of hanging up. This goes double for micro-guide equipped rods, like my Daiwa Proteus SS H. My favorite inshore tog rod, but what a...

    Gulp! Sale

    Yep. I fish the very worst deep stuff I can find - the lost rigs are just the price of doing business in that neighborhood. Nothing like hitting the grounds at 0700, looking at your watch that now reads 1030, having lost 5 rigs in a row, and there's nothing to take home in the box. Really puts...

    Gulp! Sale

    Meh, I don't worry so much about that, because I find that I lose nearly as many GULP! baits to snagged rigs as I do to tail bite-offs. Sux for sure, but fishing where I fish, I don't expect much longevity from any bait, or rig for that matter. What I truly hate is having a slow-catch trip and...

    Pequa - give the 4" Grubs a try over the swimming mullets. They have a tougher tail that doesn't get torn off as easily.

    Just got my Walmart order 6 & 5" versions. Don't know why the 5" bottles are cloudy. Maybe the cold in the FedEx truck. Meh, for the money I don't really care. For those that will ask, there's 10 pcs per bottle, plus at least $3-$4 worth of the juice as well. Good deal at what amounts to less...

    Another Braid-to-Leader Knot that's pretty straightforward

    So here's a "motorized" version of the PR Bobbin Knot. He's calling it an FG, but is more of a PR. THe FG criss-crosses the braid over the leader, while the PR lays it on top of itself. Anyway I do like my gadgets, that's for sure!

    Thank you Matt! - ordered those and some of the on-sale 5" grubs in various colors as well. Actually, I prefer the 5" size for my needs. Less short bites.

    Another Braid-to-Leader Knot that's pretty straightforward

    Its my go-to for my blackfish leaders. It flies thru the guides. I've gone to it because one of most favoritest tog rods (a now-discontinued Daiwa Proteus SS H) has the tiniest guides you'll ever see, and no other knot, not even the FG will cleanly reel-back thru them like the PR will. The PR...

    Have you tried the PR Bobbin Knot? Faster than the FG and stronger as well, from personal experience.

    Another Braid-to-Leader Knot that's pretty straightforward

    Though I stick with the PR Bobbin Knot for my blackfishing braid to shock leaders, I cannot do the "bobbin thing" on the water. If by some happenstance I do lose my leader, then this is a knot I would consider tying whilst bobbing around out there. What I never use is the Double Uni, as I've had...
