No food source. Completely empty except for just one bite poison...

Pest control company told me they can’t do much more than I’m already doing. Need to get/keep rats out of a shed so I can store stuff in it and the poison I’m using isn’t doing the trick. ...

Telescopic rubber h20 express or whatever academy’s brand is....

I used falcon coastal in the past, but I’ve broke a few recently. I replaced them with Okuma DTR rods that I have been very happy with....

Absolutely terrible. So glad I sold my house there this morning....

I used baking soda and vinegar in a vehicle I spilled shrimp juice in....

I have a lake master Louisiana delta card in my Helix 9 and It gets the job done. EDIT: I didn't realize that Navionics cards work with humminbird. I'd be interested to see some satellite pics if that is a feature and someone is willing to post some screen shots....

Last time I drove by you couldn’t even get in the parking lot due to all the rip rap being stored in the parking lot. I used to fish out of there all the time but haven’t heard of anyone launching there in quite some time. I run there from hopedale or sweet water now if I want to fish Reggio....

I would say at least 20-30ft. There are some rather large vessels that anchor along the sea wall in Madisonville....

Checked a 22lb black drum of the list of firsts yesterday. ...

Yep. There was a very large thread but it died due to lack of posts. Caught the hell out of the brim on the 5wt last weekend. Going to chase reds/jacks tomorrow before these storms roll in....

Glacier was one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to, but it was pretty unsettling to me to be wondering around in grizzly country. That second video was right in front the room we stayed in when they come out the water....

I was sight fishing so I did not trout fish. Caught a limit of reds and saw a whole bunch more that refused to eat. ...

[quote]bouncing from hopedale to Delacroix [/quote] Let us know how you do! Headed to either hopedale or delacroix on Monday....

A 30-50L seems pretty over kill to me for a day pack. I have an osprey stratos 24 and a talon 22 and there is plenty of room for a day. I used the 24 in Glacier NP when my wife was pregnant and I had to carry most of her stuff in addition to mine....

Yeah I’ve heard of them. It is my understanding that they are having a difficult time updating La cards compared to Florida. Do they make a chip for humminbird units?...

[quote]So no leader with braid for Reds? I often wondered if it was necessary.[/quote] I used to be in this camp, but I've switched to using a 15-20lb leader with my braid and have definitely noticed more eats sight fishing....

I like being able to make my own mapping cards with simrad and it seems nema networking is cheaper/fewer parts. I also prefer standard mappings chip over the lake master. Don’t get me wrong it does the trick for me, but when it is time to replace I will probably go back to simrad....

Any reason you’re going with the helix over simrad and lowrance? I wish I had a simrad over my helix especially for marsh fishing....

[quote]heron 16[/quote] Nice! I priced out an 18 build with Erin a couple years back, but ended up going a different route with 3 little kids....
