Believe me, my preferred boat is sold out on Saturday. The Dauntless is always packed which wouldn't be so bad but waay too many googans can ruin a trip in short order.
Well.... been in the process of tuning up the maintenance on the boat (should've done this in february buy...) I got an hour to kill.... new thermostat's been sitting in a box. Go to Jiffy to get a couple of tall boys for the job..... WELL.... a sheared off bolt into the Block is going to make this WAAAAY more complicated than the 30 bucks for a new thermostat
South Chatham Tackle's electric winder should be in every fisherman's garage. Easy to use with professional results. Spinners, Baitcasters, Conventional, Fly, it does them all. I am absolutely loving this. Even did my sweetwater reels with 6lb Sufix mono. Getting my boat out of storage on Saturday so I can start invading the local lake here. Can't fish the Susquehanna mainly because of the pollution and radioactivity from the now defunct 3 mile island Nuke plant.
Makes me wonder if they'll have issues around the old Oyster Creek plant that closed a while ago. I never really thought much about it growing up but man I really did close to that place.
Well, out here the river is lined for miles with farmland. All the runoff from those farms winds up in the river and after decades, is now deep in the sediment. Its for that reason the PA DNR will not ever dredge the river bottom. They have no idea what will get stirred up so better to leave things the way they are. The 3mile island plant which was dead center of the Susquehanna and they advise eating perhaps one fish per month out of there. The last time I put my boat in the river, I had a dirt ring around it when I pulled it out. I did catch a flathead but the worms were on the outside burrowing in. Needless to say, that was the end for me and fishing the Susquehanna.
Ha... I knew it. Trying to get my brother in NY outfitted. Figured I'd ask. Already scored him a Seigler LG for jiggin tunas... things a lil beast (price was good, so if he didnt want it, I would just keep it )
Stuff for big fish he has inshore stuff already.... his only "offshore" reel was a fathom 30, and a baitrunner 8000 that I gave him. That's cobia worthy, not tuna worthy. I scored a fin-nor lethal 80 off Ebay. Need 2 bigger live bait / trolling reels (was thinking along the lines of a fathom 60LD 2 speed)... obviously rods too, but I know shipping makes that problematic / not really cost effective. Need a jigging/pop rod for a spinner, and obviously some conventionals (get sell him my bluewater carnage beast rod if he can bring it on the plane) I did bring home a trevala 6-6 MH because I scored a sick deal on it, but I'm thinking it may be too light....
I have a Shimano Terez 7'3"H rated 50-100lb braid Spinner I can part with.. Never used. 7 guides and EVO grips fore and aft.
Thanks... but I wonder what shipping would be. I once tried to ship a rod back to Penn that I didnt like.... any reels?
Sent some rods I wasn't using down to a buddy in Tampa. $50. I would estimate $25. Fit like 5 conventional rods in a single tube. Spinning reels or Conventional?
Heading out to blue water tommorrow... at dock at 5 unfortunately forecast took a dip for the worse..... still hoping to troll up some wahoo, blackfins and mahi (and maybe the man in a blue striped suit)
I have several conventional reels that might fit the bill. I also have a few PENN spinning reels in the 5000 class. I'd like to let those go so I can get a PENN Slammer IV 7500 spinner..
Ugggh.... trolled all day and just 4 or 5 mahi (only 1 good sized one too) buddy got tunnel vision on trolling for the big dogs instead of switching up to bottom jiggin (which we did for like 30 min (I jigged up a blackfin tuna and a pink porgy on my new slowpitch reel) no thanks on the 5000 (already have some that size... 7500 is more what he'd need too) what conventionals? Why you selling that OceaJigger? (my friends dad just got the 1500, looks like a precision piece!)
I got two.. Got the second one at a ridiculous price point so why not... For deeper water, I have a OJ4000 now so I really don't need the 2nd OJ2000.
