  1. According to The Fisherman magazine - The NY Fishing Show that was scheduled for the weekend of March 23rd was canceled. Anybody know why?
  2. When should you buy a Van Staal? When your style of fishing consistently finds you dunking or drowning your reel. Up until then it is more of an expensive “want” rather than a “need”.
  3. I use a small Aquapac to hold my electronic key fob. It has worked just fine. I also use an Aquapac for my cell phone. Google Aquapac - check out how it could work for you.
  4. The guy says he’s looking for a small inexpensive plug bag and the Aquaskinz small bag meets those requirements. Yeah, barbs can get stuck in it and it’s too bad that it is not made out of sailcloth - but, then it wouldn’t be inexpensive. Maybe priced like a Gear Up. I gave the guy, and anyone else reading, my opinion just as you gave yours. My compliments.
  5. Check out an Aquaskinz Small bag. Great for back bay 1 1/2 oz. To 2 oz. Lures. It has some great features for a relatively inexpensive and small plug bag. ‘Has 3 tubes and room. (But is not a bag for tall lures). ‘Has a shoulder strap and belt loops.
  6. Wishing you the greatest and happiest of New Years!
  7. You might try Grundens. I think they have what you are looking for.
  8. ‘And no advertising by Causeway in The Fisherman. Did any of you guys ever notice this and wonder why? It wasn’t always like this though-Things seemed to have changed several years ago.
  9. Why does it appear that there is no relationship between Causeway- one of the very best Bait & Tackle Shops on the entire East coast and The Fisherman magazine? There are no comments, no mentions, no fishing reports, no nothing. What happened?
  10. If you just use the shoulder strap after awhile your shoulder and neck will hurt from carrying the weight of your plugs and bag. You’ll feel a lot better using a waist belt that carries the weight on your hips and legs. But do use the shoulder strap to keep your bag in position to reach it to open and get at your plugs.
  11. I have been surf fishing for over 40 years and have duplicate and triplicate lures like the rest of you guys. My philosophy seemed to be that too much is never enough. I look at all the lures and fishing gear and realize that I have more surf fishing crap than I will ever use in my lifetime. It hurts to go to the Fall, pre-holiday and Spring Fishing Flea Markets, walk through them and realize there’s nothing there that I need. It sucks! I know it is hard to accept, but, you really don’t need all of the new crap that is advertised at the beginning of every fishing season. Last year’s models and old classic lures like Gibbs still work. Put the brakes on for buying new lures. One day you will drop dead and your wife will hold a garage sale and sell off all your fishing gear at a fraction of what it is worth or what you paid for it. Think about that the next time you buy a triplicate of a lure you already have.
  12. You guys ever hear about J&J waterproof First Aid Tape or 3M’s First Aid Tape? 1” Wide. Use about 5” or 6” of it to wrap around your index finger. No need for a glove
  13. I use 3: Back to Back Uni-Knot for braid to mono Palomar Knot for braid to swivel Trilene Knot for leader to swivel and leader to clip
  14. Only if you are really going to dunk it or swim with it. Only worth it if you Need It- If it is just that you Want It - then save your money and pick up a reasonably priced reel that meets your needs. Be honest with yourself.
  15. 1 1/2 oz. Hopkins Shorty with a bucktail dressed hook.
  16. ‘Ever consider switching to a bailless reel?
  17. I received - “Maine to Montauk” yesterday. ‘Looking forward to reading it
