  1. Definately!!! The drift by the old launch ramp just down stream can be pretty good.
  2. There's a lot less to get messed up on a pin than there is a baitcaster or spinning reel. Heck it's a back, pin, spool and a couple of bearings. Just dip it under water and give it a spin and any grit is gone. As for the rod the worst that could happen is the wood on the reel seat could temporarily swell and make it difficult to remove the reel until it dries out. Jeebas man it's not made of sugar you know. :rofl2:
  3. Nice Mike!!!! I especially like the rod. The electrical tape wrapped around the $65 Strubel seat really adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the ensemble!!!
  4. My guess is the cable you are talking about is for the built in transducer. If it is you can use the motor without having to hook it up to a sonar and still use the GPS functions built into the motor. You can also add a bow mount sonar at some point and hook it up to the motor for sonar capabilities. There are adapter cables made for a variety of sonars so you can pretty much pick what ever sonar you want.
  5. The Credit between Lakeshore & QEW has a good run late may to mid June. As has been said small spinners work really well. It's best if you have a canoe or car topper to really get into them as shore access is pretty tough.
  6. You'll be there for prime time Tarpon fishing the bridges!!! Anchor on the up current side of the bridge and soak live mullet on 20# spinning or casting outfits. Make sure to tie a short Bimini twist (3-6 feet)and finish with a heavy leader of about 6' of 100# mono or flouro to a circle hook sized to your bait. Make sure you have lots of line and a couple of others on board because when the hit comes it's pandemonium!!! You will need one on the rod, one on the helm and one to take car of anchor pulling duty. It's best if you are using an anchor bouy so you can just cast off the anchor line and come back to it after the fight. You can also fid good schools of Jacks around the bridges. I have fished reefs of Islamarada and caught some jumbo Amber Jacks but it was further out in the ocean (12-14 miles). I have not fished the inshore reefs for yellowtail and snapper so can't help you there. I also haven't fished the bay, but it is on my to do list. I have a standing invite from a guide buddy in Tampa to come and spend a week fishing the flats down there. Hopefully this time next spring I will be fly fishing for Reds, Bones, Snook and Tarpon!!!
  7. Before you do that go HERE and hopefully you can save a buck or two.

  12. Check out this story and click on the link at the bottom to find out pricing in your area. This is not good, not good at all!!!! Gas Price Increases!!!!!
  13. Already done my friend. We had a registry clinic here at work a year ago and I did the swab thing then so I'm in the system.
  14. Yeah Wayne it was a nasty storm. I had freinds who live in Tampa tell of hiding in a bank while the tornado went through their area today. Scary stuff!!
  15. This was and still is one of my favorite 80's bands. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b6opMEu-zM&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1
  16. They are most likely using USPS flat rate shipping. USPS has 4 differnt sized flat rate boxes that businesses can use and ship up to 70# for a flat rate. That same package you recieved could theoretically have been filled with 70# of leadhead jigs and shipped for the same price. There are lots of other stores that charge the same way (x dollars in goods = so much shipping) including Bass Pro and Cabelas. Your real complaint is they didn't tell you before they shipped it so you could have cancelled the transaction if you had wanted to.
