Dobyns gives a 30% military discount. I’m retired Navy so it’s a no-brainer for me. Just give them a call.

Sorry Bud, looks like someome’s opinion took over.

Weightless on 5/0 EWG with a treble hook tied to main eyelet and lightly buried in the tail. I saw it on a Randy Blauket video. I’ve been throwing a super fluke for years and decided to try it. The treble hook caught several fish that I likely would have missed.

My brother had one when he lived on the Potomac near Hagerstown. I loved that boat and expect you’ll be happy with yours. He had a jet motor and we used to fish in 18” of water. Perfect boat for the conditions. I’m envious.

Thanks. I’ll watch it online then. Thanks. I’ll do that.

What channel are you guys watching? I had coverage this morning, but that was it.

Stop gawking at those Nordic women!

I never looked at getting skunked as anything more than “just one of those days”.

Dobyns Fred Roumbanis rods on sale $139 at Dobyns. I wanted a frog rod, but it’s the only one not in stock.

If he’s used spinning gear for his whole life, and is used to reeling with his left hand, I’d suggest a left handed baitcaster. Lot of good reels in your price range.

ALF gives a one time good deal of an extra 10% off if you sign up for their e-mail. You might want to check it out.

When I find out that FEDEX is delivering a package I say a prayer and cross my fingers.

If I could only use one rod it would be the XP734C. I throw chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, weightless flukes, T-rigs, jigs……… If you dig a little, you’ll find a “general” consensus that whether it’s the Fury, Sierra, or Champ XP series, the 734 is the most popular “all-around.” I have 8 Dobyns rods and my next rods will be 2 more Dobyns Champ XP 734s.

My brother used to buy black with chartreuse tails by the hundred. I’ve caught hundreds of smallies on the Potomac with them. Fishing doesn’t have to be complicated.

Cranked spinning reels with my left hand for 30 years and then bought a right handed baitcaster. I couldn’t get used to it and bought a left handed baitcaster. Sold the right handed baitcaster and never looked back. That was 20 years ago and now I have 2 spinning setups and a dozen baitcasters. Holding the rod in my left hand will never work for me.

Try salmon eggs on your jerkbait hooks.

Lowest prices I’ve ever seen. Champ XPs, Kadens, and Furys. I’m broke.

The Monocacy? I just had to reply to someone from Frederick. I grew up there and still visit once in a while. If I’d graduated I’d have been FHS class of ‘77. Frederick is unrecognizable to me nowadays and is turning into another Montgomery County. I used to play in the fields where (the now closed) Fredericktowne Mall is before it was built. At least I have the memories of when Frederick was mostly corn fields and dairy farms.

On YouTube, Gary Dobyns talks about the faster tip on the Kaden Series.

I had this dilemna last year. Sooo many good rods available under $200. Dobyns gives veterans 30% off so it made my decision easy. Started off with 2 Kadens, added 5 Champion XPs (2 spinning & 3 casting). I’m happy with Dobyns. Without trying every brand you’ll never know for sure which brand/model YOU like best. Choose one that you feel good about purchasing and use it. The recommendations you’ve been given are solid choices.

I have several 15+ year old reels and some new Lews and Daiwa reels. (Lews Team Lews lite & BB1 Pro and Daiwa Tatula 100 & 150) IMO my older reels are as good as my newer ones. The newer ones MIGHT cast further, but I’ve never measured and my old reels cast far enough. Most of my casts don’t require casting a lure as far as I absolutely can. I didn’t have problems with backlash on my older reels and I don’t have problems today. Nothing not to like about new reels. Just my opinion.

I’m a Penn State fan and I was happy to see Michigan win. Michigan SPANKED OSU. I get tired of the same teams making the BCS year after year. I’m rooting foe Georgia to win it all. I’ll take anyone besides Alabama.

2 DWIs, a couple posessions, and then thank God I joined the Navy at 22 years old. Retired Navy and Civil Service. I muddled through and ended up with a pot to tinkle in. Work ethic and dumb luck.
