  1. It feels fine now, maybe I just got used to it. Been fishing it since then and no problems, makes a slight noise but it isnt overpowering or anything. Will send it in for the annual maintenance during the off season and hopefully it's good as new for next season.
  2. I have a 3 tube gear up bag that has been good so far. My one issue with it is that it is very compact, it can be a pain to take out bucktails or add bucktails back to the pouch, it is also a pain to take out my leader wallet from the back pouch. are other bags this packed or is this just an issue with this specific bag?Also annoying how the otter tail bucktail trailer package does not have the diameter to fit into the pouch on the bag, looks like the pouch on the bags was designed for pork rinds.
  3. Caught 4 schoolies today, biggest being 26 inches on chunked mackerel. Also saw two different gulls at my spot that were clearly distressed and had leaders coming out of their beaks, one of them being a grey juvenile bird. Shame that people do not know how to properly handle unhooking a bird.
  4. Xurons. Less than $15 on amazon and they do a great job
  5. I had this issue with a gear up bag. Ordered it and heard nothing for a week, reached out and got a response that it wasn't in yet. I canceled the order the next week. It said the item was in stock on the website. If Tomo's and the Surfcaster can update their site and say items are sold out, why can't j&h?
  6. What app do you use to check the surf?
  7. Are those schoolies following in the first clip?
  8. Was on to a couple of schoolies from shore today, fished the sunset from the rocks. Got them both on swimmers, yo-zuri hydro swimmer (mackerel) and blurple SP minnow (7 inch profile).
  9. I have a spot in mind to try this. What plugs typically work best for this? Very small profile I imagine? Or does bait typically work better
  10. Tried to fish the storm yesterday at around 7 pm. Surf was crazy, huge waves, strong winds. Unfortunately, the water was already too dirty by the point so I could not do much aside from top water. Ended up getting skunked. Is the water still dirty for today? any thoughts as to when it might clear up?
  11. Looks like EEE is back. An individual under the age of 18 got it in Plymouth County. How did folks handle fishing during the dawn and dusk last season? Is it worth the risk if it becomes as widespread as last year?
  12. Take the high road being finding a new spot?
  13. Are fluke able to be targeted from shore?
  14. Keep in mind the warranties, that's why I chose St. Croix over Tsunami.
  15. Not interested at the moment. Will see about getting more if they work well in my area with the one I jsut bought. Thanks.
  16. I saw that some people suggest knocking them out on a rock before hooking them, would you recommend this? Trying to debate whether I should fish them at Singing Beach where there will be sand or off some rocks nearby. Singing might be better tonight just to get some practice in with them, just not sure of how good it is for fishing.
  17. Do they sell buckets at Tomos or anything to hold the eels in? I work in Salem so would like to pick them up after work but don't have anything to hold them with me at the moment
  18. I plan to buy some eels from Tomo's for the first time tomorrow. What's a good number to buy for fishing tomorrow night, probably like 2-3 hours. Do I need to bring a bucket with me? How long will the eels live from when I buy them to when I head out?
  19. Wish they didn't freeze it, I've heard and noticed that that automatically ruins the freshness of the bait.
  20. Shame nowhere (to my knowledge) carries fresh bait on Cape Ann other than live Eels. If anyone knows of anywhere on Cape Ann with fresh bait, would love to hear suggestions.
  21. Another skunking today, tried everything (bucktails, poppers, sp minnows, jumping minnows, etc.). Water was super calm and apparently warm off the rocks, I wonder if that's why I can't catch jack **** the past few days. Might have to switch to bait if this trend keeps up.
  22. It seems that the pellet gun and 8 fish in the bag were abandoned and the suspects got away. I read it as a separate group were the ones who were caught trespassing.
  23. The post also mentions "five individuals fishing on posted private property." I thought according to MA law, the tideline was fair game for fishing. Is this not true at the canal?
  24. Do you go right after sunset - like 10-12am, or later than that?
