Weedless hooks for Gulp and Soft Plastics questions.

Nola_2_Sarasota — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:11:34 GMT

I have been unable to find at Sports Authority or Walmart those weedless hooks with a little weight on them. Has anyone used those bass worm kind of sinkers on Saltwater gulp or soft plastics? Does this affect the presentation of the lure? I cant cast far enough using weedless hooks with no weights and using standard jig heads in the tall grass just gets caught all the time.

Charging New Battery

Golden_Flats — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:43:20 GMT

Hey guys, picked up a new battery as my old one finally went out on me. My question is, should I recharge after every trip, or let the battery drain down a bit and then charge. I use it mainly for the trolling motor. Thanks for any input!

An odd request

Hooked4life — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 17:39:45 GMT

My daughter has decided that she wants her own cast net. I was thinking of getting her a small Fitec quick throw net (the one with the spreader ring) but she informed me she wants a pink cast net. Has anyone ever seen a pink net or know of anyone who could make one. I would like to get her one for Christmas but have never seen/heard of a pink one. She has already picked out the pink rod/purple reel combo she wants too! The reel acutally lights up when you wind it. Not a high quality setup but daddy's little girl usually gets what she wants.

I could have burn more calories/hour just going wadefishing, and burn twice as much calories/hour as my every other day excercise routine by going wading every day!!!

Since you normally fish at least 2-3 hours, you will burn 2-3 times as much calories. And if you do that everyday as oppose to exercising one hour/every other day, you will burn 4-6 time as much calories every week!!!!!

So there you have it: Fish Your Way to a Lighter You!!!!!

Need advice please

redseacraft — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:13:09 GMT

A friend of mine has skin cancer and wants me to take him fishing at night since he has to avoid the sun. I was thinking of starting about 8:30 as the sun is going down and anchoring around the skyway. Is that a good idea?

My gameplan would be to put out 1-2 baits for tarpon and perhaps a live bait and either a 1/2 blue crab or sardine on the bottom mabe to pick up a grouper or black drum. Does this sound good or not? I will be launching from the Manatee River and would like to keep my travel time ablut 1/2 hour or less.
Thanks!

JollyRoger — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:34:22 GMT

Went out to Ft. D. Last night with a blue mirrodyne. And as you said in your earlier post you didn't move it at all and let the current take it. I did just that and got a couple of ladyfish. Not as impressive as your snook but I think off to a good start, and better than the nothing I was catching on it before. I am now eagerly awaiting the XL version hopefully coming out next week.

Thanks again,
