  1. I would vote for a dexter knife. Also, learn how to sharpen a knife. I use a two sided whetstone myself. One side is coarse, the other side is fine. A quick youtube search will show you how to use it. I recommend practicing on an old knife you don't care about, whether its from the kitchen or it's a pocket knife, just as long as it's not serrated. I've seen good knives ruined by newbies. Once you feel like your ready, then you can sharpen your nicer knives with confidence. A sharp knife is a hundred times easier and a hundred times safer to work with no matter what your doing.
  2. I always thought smartphones were purely used to distract people while they drive their cars. Your telling me they work outside of your car too?
  3. Don't neglect the humble aqua-deuce. It's always an option in an emergency.
  4. The obvious answer is to find someone that owns and boat and become their best friend. Everyone needs a fishing buddy, find someone looking for one. You bring the beer and some snacks every time you go out, they provide the boat. Perfect relationship. You won't be able to fish on your own schedule, but you won't have any of the headache of boat ownership. Where are you going to find this person? not a clue. This probably didn't help, but any of you out there that don't own boats, but have a best friend that does know what I'm talking about.
  5. Speaking of googan boaters. I was out on a buddy's boat trolling a couple weeks ago. Two dummies in a 35' fishing boat complete with outriggers and about 25 rods on it, coming flying up the stern of our boat, turn at the very last second, probably about 30 yards off the back of the boat and peel about 300 yards of line off of a reel and nearly break a rod. Not to mention the umbrella rig attached to the other end of the line. You would think driving around in a boat like that, they would understand boating/fishing etiquette a little better.

    Headlamps

    I tend to lose/break headlamps. I have always used lower end headlamps, typically you can get a good deal on camping/hiking headlamps from various outdoor gear websites. Most of the time I rely on my cat like night vision and sonar skills.
  7. If any of you are familiar with the bridges over the Barrington river on the bike path in Rhode Island, I have almost been hooked about 100 times by dudes bringing their rods back to cast without looking. They are almost always hanging right about face level. If not for some evasive maneuvers I would probably only have one eye right now.
  8. I don't know how many of you are rhode islanders. But i think it's common practice to whine about any drive longer than 45 minutes.
  9. How did you know? I have a giant map of the east coast and I'm using it to figure out where everyone is going based on driving time from their homes location.
  10. Maybe I need to step up my game.
  11. I think I might be a bit spoiled then. I would say right around an hour, maybe an hour and a half. However, 9 out of 10 times, I'm travelling less than an hour.
  12. How far will you drive just to go fishing? I'm talking out and back in a day, not a weekend getaway or anything like that.
  13. Don't know where you live, but I would recommend going to your local tackle to get them. Gotta support the little guys.
  14. Found a used allen kraken with an extra spool on some big auction site. Thank you all for the input. I believe I owe a joke if I understand the "rule" correctly. Here goes: Way back in the late 1600's there was an English ship captain sailing in the Caribbean sea. One day while looking through his telescope at the horizon he spots a lone pirate ship heading straight for him. "Enemy ship headed straight for us!" he shouts. He orders his mean to ready the cannons. At the last minute he calls to his first mate and orders him to grab his red shirt. After a long bloody battle between the two ships the captain is victorious. His first mate approaches him and asks, "Sir, why did you request me to bring you your red shirt?". The captain replies, "That way, if i am wounded, the men will not be able to tell and they will keep on fighting valiantly for me." The first mate nods approvingly at the brilliance of this plan and returns to work. Several days later the captain is again scanning the horizon and spots 3 pirate ships headed straight for him. "Three enemy ships headed our way!" he yells to the crew. The first mate runs up to the captain and asks "Shall I get you your red shirt, sir?". The captain replies, "Not this time, instead get me my brown pants!"
