Super User Fishing Rhino Posted June 18, 2009 Super User Posted June 18, 2009 how do you stop the bait monkey... You might as well ask, how do you change the weather? The bait monkey is the term for an epidemic which rages through the fishing community. Some have a natural immunity to this condition. For the rest of us, there is no cure. The bait monkey must be fed. Any feeling of satisfaction is temporary at best. The most you can hope for is to stabilize your condition. Throw out all those catalogs, and stay off the internet. At all costs avoid anything that mentions the latest and greatest equipment and lures. You cannot eliminate it, but you can minimize temptation. Web site shopping carts are bad enough. Wish lists compound the "problem". Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted June 18, 2009 Super User Posted June 18, 2009 turn off the puter take the gear you already have get out and use it. id much rather be fishing than buying crap i dont need. Quote

ring fry Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 The bait monkey has fallen. When I walk into a store and say, "They don't have anything that I don't have". However, the Lure Making Monkey has really kicked my butt the last year or so. Quote
Super User Sam Posted June 18, 2009 Super User Posted June 18, 2009 you don't stop bait monkey. you make him your friend. ;D Quote
D4u2s0t Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I go to ebay... doesn't stop the monkey, but you sure get more! Picked up 10 bags of senkos for 34 dollars, 100 gamakatsu 3/0 hooks for 20 something, and we just got about 200 yum dingers in various colors for 40 dollars. that's a d**n big savings. I go to ebay, sort by ending soonest, and start snagging them up! Quote

D4u2s0t Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 sure is! that's how i take care of the monkey lol. I got all of my go-to baits, they'll last a long time, and over 60% off buying them in the store. Quote

I go to ebay, sort by ending soonest, and start snagging them up! LOL. The bait monkey has your number. The bait monkey is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. He/she/it doesn't care if you get a bargain or not, the monkey whispers in your ear buy, buy, spend, spend. 100 Gamakatsu 3/0 hooks for twenty something? A hundred of any type of hook would last me several lifetimes. At 67, my remaining lifetime is not very long. Quote
Uncle Leo Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 kill him and eat him. Please. I ate Monkey Tacos back in the 70's, in Mexico, I wish I had not. Quote
Mottfia Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Word to the wise, when you hear that voice in your head say " That might work"...keep walking Mottfia Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 18, 2009 Super User Posted June 18, 2009 There should be a "price" on that Monkey's Head. We'd all profit in the long run, if we each posted $1000 to RUB OUT that wicked primate > ;D Roger Quote
midnighthrasher Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Stop him... why would you wanna do that... hes my friend...I love fishing for lures and trying out new thing... everyone here was recently talking about rage tail baits so i went and baught some and they were awesome!!! Not only that but the monkey got me to go to gander mtn this morning and to my surprise all soft plastics were 20%off. Needless to say we had a blast buying all kinds. Picked up some coffee tubes, some senko's, hula grubs, rage tail shad, rage tail anaconda, rage tail space monkey. Best of all the monkey and my girlfriend are great friends. Quote
bocabasser Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 "You can't stop him...u can only hope to contain him" Dan Patrick exactly! my only advice would be to order only from tackle warehouse. the free shipping over 50$ seems to be a justification in my mind. wow--see how the monkey has got me thinking.

Fishing Cowgirl Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 The bait monkey whispers to me too..so both of us are doomed.. Quote
Sfritr Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 I have tried to spank him but...... That just made him happy Look at it this way, you could be wasting precious money on cigarettes, drugs, drinking habit, gambling etc. At least this is important stuff. You are not wasting you are investing........... Quote
