    I don't get it is it normal for pinners to stuff $500 reels $ $500 rods under water to get a pic, I see so many posts of use guys shoving your reels underwater or in the sand, I use a spinning reel stradic, wiskers and such and I would never think of it hitting the sand. In fact I'd rather drop a fish then let it get screwed in the sand, yet pinners have no problem droping $500 in the river for a pic , I don't get it, to each his own

     

    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: :rofl2: :rofl2:

  5. HDS 7 and i-pilot

    in General Discussion

    OK so I got the new boat and got a nice suprise. I thought I was just getting a 80lb terrova with universal sonar but they put the one with I-pilot on it so I have this amazing trolling motor but I don't have a fishfinder/GPS for the bow so I'm wondering if anyone has used the features of the Ipilot and should I try to find a extention to hook it up to my HDS 7 at the helm .I'm taking my little bro out fishing next weekend I cant wait to play with all this technology gonna take awhile to figure things out .I haven't even looked for a extention for the I-pilot cable so I don't even know if it availible.

     

     

    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.

  8. Marathon Florida Keys Fishing

    You'll be there for prime time Tarpon fishing the bridges!!! :thumbsup_anim::thumbsup_anim:

    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!!! :lol:

    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. :D

    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!!! :clapping::clapping:

  14. Looking For A Good Used Car?

    A Good Used Car The Link :)

     

     

    Description

     

    OK, let me start off by saying this Impreza is only available for purchase by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, this Subaru would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly.

     

    It was never intended to drive to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. It wasn't meant to transport you to yoga class or Bed Bath and Beyond. No, that's what your Prius is for. If that's the kind of car you're looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now. This car has been to hell and back, twice, and has the scars to prove it. So if you can't handle being seen behind the wheel of this biblical, fire breathing, dragon slaying, nazi killing hero because it has a few purle hearts, move on.

     

    This wagon was engineered by 3rd degree ninja pirate super-warriors in the highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that cheats death on a daily basis. They didn't even consider superfluous nancy boy amenities like navigation systems (real men don't get lost), heated leather seats (a real man doesn't let anything warm his butt), or On Star (real men don't even know what On Star is).

     

    No, this brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super action junkies need. It has a 137 HP engine to outrun the cops and a 5 speed tranmission so you know grandma wont be taking off with it when your not looking. It's saved my bacon more than once. It's got special blood/gore resistant upholstery. It even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when you're operating on yourself.

     

    My price on this bad boy is an incredibly low $2500 but I'll entertain reasonable offers. And by reasonable, I mean don't walk up and tell me you'll give me $500 for it. That's liable to earn you a Burmese-roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab. Would it hurt? Hell yeah. Let's just say you won't be the prettiest guy at the Coldplay concert anymore.

     

    There's only 183 000 km's on this all-wheel drive hellcat from Planet Kickass. Trust me, it will outlive you and the offspring that will carry your name. It will live on as a monument to your machismo.

     

    Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it's a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double, then reply to this ad. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or just chilling with my lady, but leave a message and I'll get back to you. And when I do, we'll talk about a price over a nice glass of Schmidt while we listen to Johnny Cash.

     

    To sweeten the deal a little, I'll throw in a second set of 17" summer rims so you can impress all your friend with their honda civics. This car has no problems what so ever. It passed its last e-test and safety with flying colours but is being sold as-is.

     

    God bless

  21. Shipping costs, what a joke

    in General Discussion

    Straight shipping fee. No broker fees it was USPS regular postal service.

    From Northern Bass shipping rates to Canada

    $0.01 - $25.00 $16.95

    $25.00 - $49.99 $18.95

     

    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.
