Fishing Spots

What about line weight? 20-25lb? It's a bit overwhelming.

It nice to see so many people here that like to fish or interested in learning how too. I seem to never take a camera when we go fishing. So sorry on pictures from me. Wished I had them now But I am willing to go try to catch some more...

Here is what you can do with a spincast and the right fishing hole.

very nice free. I like the little rod & reel.
What you use to catch fish is up to the person fishing. I have Shum.Pen.Bark.Abu.& Zebco. I love my Abu. Its what I choose to fish with. I have a Zebco that is older then me and still works. Even a cain pole can catch fish.

That is the place I was talking about.

Here is what you can do with a spincast and the right fishing hole. Got tired after the 3rd day in a row of reds, so I decided to spice it up a bit with a speed race rod.

Second to the lady that choked on the cucumber on 1000 ways to die lol!!!!!!

[40GallonsOfDoom]

Actually, even with the nice scenery drowning is one of the worst ways to go.

I had a similar experience helping save someone. Blue Jeans and wading = discomfort and disaster with good conditions lol. Dang that Hawaii vacation sounds crazy!!!

I still have a Garcia mag reel I bought in 1981. It casts super smooth. It's one of my backups.

Good stuff Ron. I've been wading for 15 years and never wore a life vest. Almost drowned in the surf one day trying to swim to 3rd bar. Water was too high so I never touched bottom. Got exhausted and fortunately I had my styrofoam tackle box float. I had to lay on top of it. Finally got back and I was dizzy for about an hour. I wasn't taking the chance going out there with that float but I still have flashbacks because it was a frightening experience vi just don't wade areas alone if I'm not familiar but a life preserver is a safe way to wade. I don't think I'll ever use them.

Very scary. I know exactly what you mean. You go out and think, "man what a great and beautiful day" and the next moment you realize you might die on that same beautiful day.

I was out bodyboarding almost 3/4 way out between Terramar and San Luis Pass. I was on the 2nd sand bar catching some waves. I noticed 2 fisherman swimming back in from the 3rd sand bar. One guy had his rod in his mouth and was swimming for dear life and gulping water. When I yelled and asked him if he needed help he couldn't answer me so I knew he was in trouble. I swam out to him and floated my boogie board out to him. He grabbed it and I pulled him back in to the 2nd sand bar using my wrist strap. He thanked me profusely and said his bluejeans were super heavy and making it hard for him to swim. Another minute and I think he would have gone under.

Another time I was in Hawaii and snorkeling (without fins) and got into a rip current. I didn't panic and tried to swim against it because swimming with it and parallel to it would have taken me to a shallow area with razor sharp coral and barnacles. It took every thing I had to swim against it for about 10 minutes to get to channel marker. All the time I could see my wife sitting under the umbrella on the beach enjoying her book. I was thinking about how I didn't want my daughters and wifey finding out how I went and drowned myself on vacation. I could think of worst ways to go though.

Same here, but shimano is more expensive and for a bank/pier fisherman, a spinning reel or a bigger bait caster holds more line for bigger fish. Shimano specializes in low profile fishing gear

Ya i still use my curado everywhere though and for big game i have a pen 320 gti on a 10' surf rod
