I think you just wandered into that pic...lol Charter boat I'm guessing for salmon?

I may buy a 3rd rod
some ultralight gear to fish trout in rivers

fun for pan fishing too, I love mine, even an average bluegill feels huge.

A good day was had. 19 largemouth between 3 of us in just over an hour. Rain forced us in way too soon, but as far as shore fishing in NJ goes, that's nothing to complain about.


Just need to get a legit finesse spinning setup now though and I'll be happy.

fenwick aetos+shimano stradic ci4
incredible balance and super light
that is what i use and i can't complain
u can fish with it 12 hours a day and u won't even be tired

Looks nice, but not what I'm in the market for. Goal is to keep the setup under 10 ounces, that reel alone is 7+. Got a lot of research cut out for me, but it'll make work go by quicker this week.

Signed up for a new site - Fishhound.com

Basically, you become a member and they give you a credit amount based on your membership to spend on gear through them. When they send it to you, you can write a review to get credits back. Can also upload pictures / video reviews / fishing reports to gain credits. Quickly filling up my tackle box with things I would never spend money on in a store.

Was like $40 for the year and got $125 in credits. There's a monthly option as well.

If anybody is interested in signing up, PM me email. Inviting people gets the inviter $10 in credit an the invitee a $5 discount at signup - so if you wanted to use it for a month to try it out, the invite process would drop the cost to $5 for a one month trial.
