  1. I took a bunch of blues with a white and red Robert's Ranger this summer. One of the best casting lures in my bag. You can still get them I believe.

    Thanks so much for the detailed post and taking photos! This is perfect. Thx Bud!
  3. Hey guys, I'm a Long Island based weekend warrior surfcaster. I have a 10 tube Surfrite bag that I wear on my shoulder. And a Surfcaster plastic buckle dive belt. The bag is too heavy to carry just on my belt alone. I'm a relative newbie so I tend carry the kitchen sink. I push the bag around to my back but when I cast it swings around to my side. There was a post earlier this week about carrying your bag on your belt vs shoulder. It sounded like a couple guy might have used both and somehow clipped their bag to their belt while casting. I'm looking for some info, an option to be able to clip the bag more to my back while casting or unhooking fish and unclipping and swinging the bag around to my side for easier access to plug and such. Any info and photos would be greatly appreciated. Thx boys!

    Wading Boots

    Hey Mack, I'm pretty impressed with them. I do a very little jetty jumping but even the smaller studs grip well. They also have different types of more aggressive studs. A couple are rated specifically for salt water. Their customer services is really good as well. I purchased a Greenbacks w/ 2 sole types. One was incorrect so the sent me the correct sole and told me to keep the other for the inconvenience. Hope this helps. P

    Headlamp

    Black Diamond Spot. Super bright, red light, one finger tap on the side to go to full brightness. White and red lights dims as well. I use the "Dual Fuel" version, works on 3 AAA or a rechargeable battery sold separately. When I get to the water I open the headband all the way and wear it around my neck. I made a little tab out of velcro and duct tape that attaches to the light itself. I hold this in my teeth while changing lures or releasing fish. I can point the light more directly with it in my teeth.

    Wading Boots

    Korker Greenbacks, cheap, reliable, replaceable soles (Felt, rubber, studded). No metal parts to rust. Been using them for just over a year in both salt and freshwater, no complaints at all. I also wear then w/ Frogg Togg Hellbender II waders. Really good fit. Good all around set up.
  10. I rinse/hose off everything (plugs, rod, reel, tools, waders, boots, etc) as soon as I get home. If my bag gets dunked I take out all the plugs and tins and rinse everything. I drilled holes in bottom of an Ikea bin and hang plugs off the sides. I like HHagers23 idea of the milk crate. Lots of airflow to help things dry.
  11. Posting this for a buddy. He fished Saturday, 7/15 am 5:00-9:00am and left his fly rod in the Sunken Meadow State Park parking Field 3 lot (east side near beach entrance). The rod is a Thomas & Thomas Zone 10wt (Black) with a Bozman Flyworks reel (Bright Green), Blue fly line. I know this is a shot in the dark but Im hoping for a good soul! Please DM me if you have any information. (Also posing in Fly Fishing) Thx PeteA

  13. You might want to consider making a beach sled. Get a plastic snow sled. Drill a 2 holes, 1 toward the front and 1 toward the back and add bungie cords to hold down gear. Extend the front pull strap. I've made a couple in my day and used them to transport a ton of stuff on CC beaches while on vacation. The image below is not my sled but will give you an idea of the possibilities.
  14. With maybe a few shorts runs I reel the fish it to the point my leader is showing and the swivel is a foot or two from the my rod tip. The fish usually still has a lot of fight left thrashing like mad. The fish is really close but not under control. So, Ive been losing fish really in close. As per some of the suggestions, It might be a combo of rushing the fish in and rod angle.
