Just a heads up guys. Hurricane has wrecked our town. There’s no power and roads are shut down. It may be several days before I can communicate here in the app. There’s some content scheduled to go live but i won’t be here to answer and questions. There’s no cell reception as well. 😑
What camera equipment/setups are the SUF’ers using to capture fishing footage on your boats?
Am I the only one that struggles throwing a frog. Over and over it’s always the same thing. The bites are there, but I cannot set that hook. I lost more than 5 my last outing before I went back to my traditional baits; soft plastics, spinners, cranks, etc… BUT that dang frog!
I totally debated about posting this, as I'm a complete rookie this year. If I can help someone, however, this will be worth whatever embarrassment I may feel.
So yesterday, I was fishing my favorite pond near where I live. I have seen everything from small bluegill and crappie, up to a 33lb carp ( I didn't catch it, but I helped the old man down the bank net and weigh it)! In fact, my PB bass was caught there, which is the one in my picture. I was throwing a Neko rig on my spinning setup, and hooked into an absolute giant! I fought him and got him right near the bank, he jumped, and when he landed, he hit the bank, snapped my line, and got away! I still picture that jumping fish in my mind even today. He looked like one of those trophies you see on the wall.
I couldn't believe that he snapped me off...braid to fluoro leader. My knot survived, but he straight snapped my leader. After sitting there for a couple minutes, I decided to check my drag. My drag was SO tight! I hadn't used that combo in a while, and completely forgot to check it. Hard lesson to learn on what would have been a personal best...
So always check your drag guys and gals! I'll certainly never forget!
Boy Oh Boy I did it now! So I had a reel go bad on me a few weeks back and went out and replaced it with a Daiwa Tatula, I will not by another reel again by far best I ever fished with even My SLX and Lew's PRO by far! Those Are two I got now Love them so smooth cast amazingly highly recommended!
If you watched the live yesterday’s let me know what you saw please
Hello SUF people! Got a question for the kayak crowd! Is there anyone out there that has had to do any type of keel repair to their fishing rig? My bonafide SS107 needs alittle love and attention in one special area! I have watched some youtube videos on this topic and I kind of have an idea of what I want to do for the repair, but since I got this great platform to ask a question like this... I just was wondering if any of my fellow kayak people have tried any type of keel repair to their yak that they really like and would recommend. ( second picture makes it look kinda sketchy! 🫣 )
I just stumbled across an oldish YouTube video, "Ike Live" with BLat and family talking about Brian's story.
It's good stuff. Also good to hear the REAL experiences of becoming a tournament angler.Â
