    using smarts to outfish others...

    In the big picture, I'm still new to fishing. Tried many different types, but more of a beginner in many types, than an expert in one. Headed out to a local stocked small lake for some shore fishing in the rain a couple weekends ago. Gets pretty packed and not many people were catching anything...

    looking at either the Humminbird 597ci HD DI Chartplotter Fishfinder Combo or the Lowrance elite 5 DSI. Why? They're for sale at Best buy and I have a best buy card. I'm trying to get something that will tell the difference between the debris and fish rolling under me on the local rivers. Not...

    For taxes, what amounts do you add up for clothes donations?

    Got this bag on my door with a tag for a tax deduction. We are donating 12 nice polo shirts, 5 nice t-shirts, a pair of new jeans, a $50 maternity shirt worn once, and a box of about 40 baby outfits. I said like $50, because it's just used close, but my wife wants to add it all up at like $5 per...

    who's obligated to move, shore fisherman or boaters?

    I'm out fishing with the wife and kid, off the overhang about 20ft above the river. My lines are not far out. Maybe 1/5of the river width before the line hits the water. Boats fly through the area and most know to head over to mid river at least when fishermen are along the shore. I purposely...

    what is this fish?

    maybe it's super obvious, but I've never seen them in this pond. Was out looking to get catfish, the pond had been filled up about a foot and a half higher, and this guy came up. I've fished there a number of times and blue gill and catfish were everywhere. Never got one of these until this...

    How old is too old to let your kid run around naked....outside?

    Personally, I don't think I'll ever let my son run around in the street naked, but for some reason, my neighbors don't have the same opinion about it. They have 3 boys. 6, 4, and 2 1/2. Today the ice cream truck comes pulling into our court and the little one comes out in diapers and a t-shirt...

    When's the last time you were surprised by a fishing spot?

    Went to a local college today for fun with the wife and kid. They have a small pond, all cement, not very deep, and I never knew there was anything even in there. I went to this school 9+ years ago and never even thought of tossing a line in these ponds. I use to go stand on the side of it to...

    Loan refinancing mailing lists...? what a waste

    About 3 years ago I got an FHA loan for my first house. It started with 1-2 letters asking to refinance my loan per month. Now I get about 20-25 letters per week asking to refinance my loan. What a waste of paper. I'm never going to do it. 2/3 at least are most likely scams anyways. Tried to...

    Anyone pump shrimp in? What did I pump up??

    I was out there today giving it a try and pumped up a few of these big pink slug looking things. They were 8-10 inches long, about an inch and a half wide, and looked like they had little yellow teeth on one side. Looked like pink sacks. What were these things? Sorry no picture, left my phone in...

    lures, rust, and tackle boxes??

    Stuck a lure in a small plastic case to trim down on stuff for a fishing trip. Didn't see the case had some rust in it due to some old hooks I dumbed out. Now my lure has a small bit of rust around the ring. It's in my main tackle box with the rest of my stuff in it's own shelf/section. Should I...
