nautifish Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Well i am in the process of re-decorateing my den and turning it into my fishing roon....So this morning i left the house around 11.00am and set off to Cambridge. The sun was out was a beautiful morning here in dover. Once i got just the other side of Paris the snow was starting to come down... Not too bad but i hate driving in snow..... Arrived at my uncle place around 12.45pm........Sat and yakked for a few hrs... 3.30 came real quick so we packed up my van with all my new goodies... ;D.... I was not looking forward to the drive home lemme tell ya the snow was coming down real good and had been all the time i was at my uncles......So once the van was packed full i headed home.....It never ceases to amaze me how many stupid bloody idiots they're are out there. The roads were crap....I was driving like Miss Daisey lol and i don't give a Monkeys..I was not ending up in no ditch...........This is a hill off of Myers.....As you can see none of the cars could get up this hill.... This poor sod ended up in the playing feild.. Then as i was leaving out of Cambridge this woman lost control of her Vehicle and ended up in the ditch. I stopped to make sure she was okay and she said someone was on they're way....So i slowly proceeded Home.....Once i got to this side of waterford it was beautiful........Sun was peeking through and no bloody awe full snow....Man am i ever glad i don't live in the snow belt erea.....lol So once home i opened up my van.... Starting unloading everything....I don't think i will ever have to buy another fishing rod in my life ......lol These are just a few things my uncle gave me i would be here all night if i photographed everything......lol I larfed when i found this in one of the tackle boxes... I was also given this beautiful book on antique fishing lures.....and it is a beauty book... I luv this book... I also got a load of fishing nets, tackle boxes, rod holders, fishy stuff to hang in my new fishing room, more lures and hooks and well you name it i probably got it.....lol.....So as much as i really hate driving in winter weather it was worth it....... ;D Now i have one question....Can someone please tell me what u use a 16' shoreline stalker pole for? It is an extended telescope rod light action - 5 sec. Never seen one before....It has no eyes or reel this is why i am asking...... : I am puzzled why it has no eyes on the pole anywhere.

kickingfrog Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'll take a guess. It looks a bit like a match fishing poll like you would see in Europe. You just tie the line to the end. Not sure though. Neet stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 The pole is probably a crappie rod. You can reach over lilly pads and drop bait anywhere in between them. Are you British? Some of the language you use suggest that you are. By the way, nice fishing stuff for the room! I too laughed at the lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassjnkie Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Americans call it a crappie pole, the British call it a whip. I have a hole bunch of them I use for carp. There are no eyes, but you attach an eye on the top section, then your line is tied directly to the eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 .Can someone please tell me what u use a 16' stalker pole for? That's to keep stalkers away. If you use it correctly, they won't get within 16' of you. Quite the haul there Nauti. Can't wait to see the finished project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greencoachdog Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Lotsa great stuff there Nauti!!! I'll give you $5 US for that lure book right now! The 16' pole should have a wire loop at the end to tie your line to. Some folks use them down here for Crappie fishin', you can fish around the branches of a tree that has fallen into the water with minimal hang ups... drop your line straight down, no bites in a minute, lift your line straight up! The 16' length give you enough distance from the fish as to not spook them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Of course you realize you'll have to show us pics of that fishing room when it's all done too, eh! Good luck, Nauti.
