  1. Jiggz, I have the 7ft MH, Avid. I can't really recommend you a rod, unless I know what you are primarily going to use for. For ex with my avid, it serves as a secondary frogging rod, and swimbait rod. I have MG spooled up with 30# braid.
  2. Don't you hate it when something like that happens. Toward the end of our competition last month, I went out and forgot my phone. Fortunately, what I caught that day would not have made the difference. That 3lbr you caught however, would have helped I think.
  3. I have owned a Pro 165, for 14 yrs now. Given the opportunity would I upgrade? In a heartbeat, but its not because it's a bad boat. It is a great little boat, that I am still enjoying. Are there limitations yes, but does it get the job done? Yes.
  4. Dsidle the good news is, there are a lot of seasoned anglers here, that will give you some good advice on fishing in the wind.
  5. In heavy winds, many take advantage of the situation and throw spinnerbaits. I usually work angles, I do not cast directly into the wind, unless I have something heavy to throw. If I am using soft plastics, I will increase the weight, a little higher than I normally throw, and keep my rod tip down. I try to utilize cover like trees and such to shelter from the wind. Wind does making fishing challenging but its not impossible.
  6. Dsidle are you throwing a b/c or a spinner? Senko's flukes, frogs, heavy plastics will fly, but don't cast directly into the wind. Depending on your location, position the wind behind you, then your baits will really fly. If your throwing with b/c you will definitely have to make some adjustments.
  7. Duh! the program was right, the human typed the wrong number.... tx you sir, you are at 35.
  8. You are right, let me see what went wrong.
  9. Dsidle that fish puts you at 38, not 28. Why would let 25-35, mph winds stop you from fishing. You are fishing from the bank right? If you tell me from a boat, maybe.
  10. So we only get to hear from you, only on the weekends??
  11. I am going to make two exceptions here. Cutoff was missed by one day, and no prizes are on the table so both of you are in. I am putting you guys on the roster. That's it however.....
  12. I will piggy back off this to state the opposite. I will be 40 in July, and I have never seen snow before.....
  13. Idk, what's going on. You would think with 25 people, this place would be buzzing. I guess everyone is serious this month. Ever since Martin's mom came into town she doesn't let him play on the computer.... LOL, I communicated with him earlier and told me he has been spending his time working on another production. Can't wait for that one.
  14. Bostonsox, where have you been. Still celebrating the World Series!!.... LOL. You have not been following us huh?? Yes unfortunately, you missed cutoff, we will see you next month, pls post your catches, we would love to see them..
  15. My biggest banks catches this year, was my Avatar pic that is 6+, and a 7+.
  16. Welcome Matt. You get a double welcome. To BR and to our bragging rights group. If you have any questions pls do not hesitate and ask. You make it number 25. There are few participants from West FL. Look at my post from last night, and see who they are.
  17. Commodore, you are in. Today is last day for entry. Welcome aboard. What part of Fl are you from?
  18. Dsidle.... C'mon man you are going to leave us hanging on what rod you purchased, after you went to the main forum asking for suggestions?? You said stiffer, so I am thinking a MH, am I right so far??

I am waiting on one more person to confirm, but if he doesn't by tomorrow, this will be our Nov 2013 Bragging Rights Line-up. Best of luck to everyone.
  20. This is one of the rare instances I would say to use a mono leader. The fluke will swim more life like. Even with fluro, flukes swim with restraint.
  21. 1-7, I got your fish down, looks like you found some time to go fishing. LOL, this competition will do that to you.
  22. What do you mean you didn't think there was going to be that many participants this month??? LOL.. As a result we are at 24 people, so you got your work cut out for you. LMG.
  23. Before I forget, Dsidle as of now has top honors for big fish of the month, with his 6lb catch. Congrats to him.
