If anyone sees Shimano or Daiwa, please post.

Americanlegacyfishing.com usually does a "daiwa secret sale" around BF and you have to email them to get the 20% off daiwa code. Ill bump this again if i see that.

I have also heard, but never tested, that the sales on tacklewarehouse.com apply to Daiwa and Shimano even though they are officially excluded. Youll be charged the 20% off price in the actual invoice allegedly.

ETA: MidwayUSA has the Daiwa Tatula 80 on sale for $166 in RH, 7.1:1 GR. Thats a good deal. Technically it is "open box" but I have ordered plenty of their open box and blemished stuff and always received new items.

Im a full time stay at home dad. Gave up $100k+ job at the time.

It has taken a lot of adjustment on both our parts. I certainly went through an identity crisis of sorts at the beginning, and we have both struggled at times with the non-traditional rolls we have to fill. But at the end of the day we made the decision that works best for our family.

She struggles with not being able to be as involved in their day to day like a traditional mom, and i struggle with not "providing" for my family in the traditional sense. But we have both worked on that because it made little sense to pay a nanny to watch our boys when we could afford not to.

If I am being completely honest, staying at home is 10x more stressful than my job was but also much more rewarding. I love the time I am blessed to spend with our boys.

If the $15/month is actually $15/30 days (and not calendar month like October, November, etc...) then it is cheaper to pay monthly as the season is only 175 days long so it would be $90 for the season.

Aaron miles spent the summer with him, and the Pels had at least one staff member with Zion all summer. A first.


Don’t know if this is normal around the league or not but seems like they’re still having to babysit him.

I think its noteworthy because he allowed and trusts the pels organization to be so involved in his offseason work. It isnt babysitting - its working in collaboration with each other.

The pels didnt send someone all summer because they had to, they sent someone because it was a welcome cooperative effort.

I think people aren't impolite. They just don't know. No one with any sense taught them.

I often have to remind myself of Hanlon's Razor:

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

People are dumb. So often we get upset assuming that our neighbor has ill intent when in reality theyre just clueless.

The soles tear up fast if theyre used on concrete and they arent the beat for traversing uneven terrain.

Otherwise, theyre awesome. Love them around the yard with the dogs when it rains and theyre obviously awesome on boats.

Looking for a camp or houseboat recommendation for Venice the weekend of September 19-22. 4 of us going down for an annual brother's trip.

We want something on the water with somewhere to tie up a couple boats (21' Nautic Star, 30' Grady White).

Something with fishing off the dock would be awesome and water only access is fine. I doubt we will use the camp for much more than sleeping, showering and cleaning teal/fish so it doesn't need to be fancy in that regard.

Is there anywhere other than VRBO I should be looking for these camps? We have a potential spot down in PAL but unsure if the owner is using it that weekend and we want something nailed down.
