  1. Please keep Charles Smoote (Charles2, C2, a long time contributor on this and many fishing boards ) and his family in your prayers and thoughts. I received a email from his daughter this morning informing me that he had a stroke on the 16th of Dec and is a nursing home recovering plus he has MIRSA.
  2. I have know 2 people that did what your planning. Neither of them are still married and it ended ugly.
  3. Seeing a gigantic Manta jumping completely out of the water just past the second bar!
  4. Not a problem with ugly stick type rods. Big problem with High Modulus Carbon type rods.
  5. That is quite a large range of casting weight for a rod to cast well. While some rod companys may make that claim, I personally don't believe its possible with the materials that today's rod are built with . Its like finding a rod that will cast 2 oz as well as it can cast 20 oz. You would be better off looking for a rod whose casting weight range has a upper limit that is less than or equal to 3 times the lower limit.
  6. This is just speculation on my part but the first production reel I know of was the "Ocean City Inductor 250 ModA" about 70 years ago. You can bet that there were reel jockeys pimping their reels with mags some time before that. There also was a quantum leap in competition distances around that time also. So I would say around 1940. Here an old link where Neil addressed some of question. http://www.stripersonline.com/surfta...d.php?t=369490
  7. Squirrel's tails are not hollow like deer. will not float
  8. Anybody seen any figures on what percentage of this org's donation go for administration cost?
  9. I use braid with a 150 yd top shot of mono. The braid every 5 years, the topshot every 8 hours of fishing or as needed.
  10. As a surf caster, match the sinker to the rod and match the rod to the fishing conditions,,,,,,,,
  11. Great example of rod-work in how to land a large fish in the surf!
  12. We use to take two sluggos, lay them side by side, weld them together from the head about 3/4 of way down. using a soldering iron to weld them together. Called them twin tail shads!
  13. Equal parts by vol: hydrated Acho peppers paste, onions, and cubed beef brisket. Salt, Black pepper, garlic, roasted cumin and molasses to taste. Cook at least 12 hours on low until beef is fork tender. Beans in Chile???????
  14. Mention the words "Charge Back" to them by the credit card company,,,,,That will get them to change their attitude!
