Ramble 79, and feeling fine, part 1

[Cannibalcritter]

Thanks for the reply Chris. After much research, I think I am going with the Litespeed. I can't let you out-do me on the Lamson. I thought about getting the Sage TCX fast action rod but have decided on the Z-Axis 9'6" in 7 wt. I want it for bigger trout, Salmon, mud sharks and smallies. I like the fast action rods because even a boob like myself, can cast them pretty well. I think soft action rods are for little girls and old women. I have the Orvis Hydros 9' in 5 wt and I really like it. Flex tip which is their fast action. The Orvis reel, the battenkill totally sucks ass. The drag is always loosening up on me. I'm going to replace it with a Guru. So much for saving the tax refund this year. POOF! Gone. And then some. What the hell, you can't take it with you. I used to think fly fishing was for pussies, now I can't get enough. Go figure. By the way, those bead head black fuzzy assed dog pecker flies that you tied were just the ticket for rainbows. They liked my bead head pheasant tails too.

Yea i hear u.. Im happy with the guru ive put er to the test.. I wouldnt mind getting a litespeed either them r nice.. And i been killing fish on the sculpins here. The same ones i sent u.. I caught over 50 fish in 3 days on it.. Its looking rough and still kicking But. Tuna named it beat to hell. lol.. So the beat to hell sculpins r bad a** I no u will enjoy em.. Kinda heavy tho. But they swim really pretty.. Make sure u let them soak a little water b4 u start just casting it. Rabbit fur takes a little to soak. And let me no how they work out for u.. And how u said ur reel was comeing loose. Lamson dont at all.. And they have thee best drag i mean thee dam best drag. Lamson Is just good qaulity and that aint no jive.. And i'll tell u some good affordable wf line.. Prestige from cabelas has some good fly line thats what i use. 39$ cant beat it..

Wish the fish would of been hungry but it was fun any how

cheep dont try the 45 in the 410 the 410 is only shot gun thats really a calibre it takes a 41 mag pistol shell.
.

While the bore of a 410 shotgun is .41 cal, the chamber is .45 because of the thickness of the shell. The Judge is really .45 all the way.

HI ramblers and assorted progromulaters of knowledge.

Had a time today, got holes drilled for the safe, but no place to buy bolts, so I got em today, figured I"d pick up some duct tape too, and some closet rod hangers, didn't have the big rolls so I had to go to the paint store, and they are goin down hill, only had the cheap crap. Not the misery kind. Its miserable to use tho. While I was there I got some primer, but the price was not what was given last week. I waited for em to get a hold of the guy but took a long time, shoulda been up there by 10 but didn't show till almost 11. Had to wait for my daughter to show up to get her mail this mornin. Couldn't load all the crap I needed on Sat, and I was hopin to get my TV yesterday so left room for that, and got the place washed and partly masked off. Gettin windy so I decided to quit, finish gettin material tomorrow, and masking. also got some door prep. The other job already done, I was scheduled for Wed, but it got done, and probably rain on Wed so maybe finish Fri.

I didn't quite unnerstan the comment made by the unhappy one and don't have any/all details so in order to avoid another 1D10T error, no comments shall be forthcoming.

I might like a .410 pistol, or derringer. Wonder if a guy could use a cut shell in them. Probably not. My 12 ga uses 2 3/4'' shells, and its an old one, not sure if I can shoot that new ammo in it. I still got some 2 magnums left over from over 40 years ago. They stay in the nightstand.

Tomorrow oughta be a good day if my feet don't kill me.

Thanks for the heads up on the line Chris. Good fly line will run you 75 bucks or more. The last time I bought $40 line, I ended up throwing it away. It got soft and sticky in hot weather. Hung up on the guides and wouldn't cast for chit. I learned the hard way, you get what you pay for. I'm placing my order tomorrow from Riverbum. I'll just get my line from there. If you request, they will spool your reel for you with backing and all.
I haven't had the chance to try the sculpins yet but I have shown them off to a few fly fishing guys. Showed them some of your other work too. They were impressed. Hopefully I can steer you some more business.

Glen bless your heart !
Bugsy, CC GET A ROOM ..

[pythonjohn]

Night all !

Gonna be a short night for me .

Gotta remember to bring in the cat, the dog is already sleeping.

Hope you all sleep well.

[Cannibalcritter]

Bubba i'll pass on the room lol.. Shiney heads dont work for me.. Well reckon imma get up early get me some fishing done tomorrow. It aint posed to be windy like it was today. I went for 2 hours today and it was not working for me.. 25 mph gust is juts to much for some old fly line. And bugsy that prestige line i been useing 2 years now it works pretty well.. I condition my line alot atleast once a week. But u r right some fly line is just junk.. Anywho.. I guess imma get on off to bed so i can get on some early small mouth fishing and find that steelhead i lost todays ago.. U folks have a great nite.

[Cannibalcritter]

Dunno no if'n u folks watched the fishing show spanish fly or not. I sure did..

My whole life passed before me eyes this morning when I saw this Thread Leader >>>http://www.catfish1.com/forums/showthread.php?183849-Another-legend-gone>>>, but I read on and found out it was another Legend.

Meanwhile back on Lake Norman. Received an e-mail from my Bud Jake yesterday informing me that someone visited his boat, docked at his place on the lake, this past weekend and stole all of his fishing gear that was on his boat, but left his Lowrance and VHF radio. His other neighbors had fish finders, radios (AM/FM and VHF) stolen along with other items. These thieves come by boat in the wee hours of the AM and will work a cove and harvest what they want and then they are gone to another cove somewhere else on the lake. In twenty some years on the lake, I have been wiped out twice, with the thieves stealing swivel seats, trolling motor batteries and starting batteries, fishing gear, etc.

Wind and more wind expected this afternoon in the order of 20 to 30 MPH, with some mighty strong gust, but in the morning hours it will be in the range of 7 to 9 MPH out of the West. Box scores look like this : 59/73/45. WG's are talking about frost warnings for my area tomorrow and Thursday mornings and I going to see ifin the lake affect will protect my new plants !

Cheap wanted to know why the animals don't eat stuff in my garden. Now thats a good question because they do in other gardens on my road. Cheap it could be that Jackie, Kickstand and myself do a good job of marking my food plot or it could be that I raise enough for the animals and myself that I don't notice ifin something is gone. Or it could be good karma. The rabbits are all around my property and I see them almost every morning and evening.

Today I have a party of four that I'm picking up at 9 AM and fishing them until 1 PM, wind permitting.
