Super User RoLo Posted June 19, 2009 Super User Posted June 19, 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 Sure! Just PayPal that $1000 to snuffthemonkey@gmail.com. I'll get right on it. Now I'm so fired up, I decided to raise my pledge to Two Grand All YOU have to do is produce the head Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted June 19, 2009 Super User Posted June 19, 2009 I'm focused and disciplined, I don't shop on line for tackle. I buy only what I'm looking for at a tackle shop. I can walk into BPS and buy nothing, if they don't carry what I'm looking for. On rare occasion I will buy some piece of junk that I never use on whim, we are all suckers to an extent. Quote
Daniel A. Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Stop the bait monkey??? Why? We work together. He tells me what I need. I buy it. ;D Quote
D4u2s0t Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 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! 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. If you can still get out on the boat, you still have plenty of time to go! We go out with my buddies grandpa who's well into his 80's, still loves fishing. As far as the hooks, i'm going to be fishing with my little brother, and other friends that are probably going to lose them like crazy. These hooks go for 3.29 for 5 hooks here, so I just couldn't pass the deal on the 100. But yea, they'll last a d**n long time lol I'm still feeling out fishing from the shore at my lake, there's alot of stumps and snags on the bottom that are tough to get out without the boat. Fishing off the shore I go through hooks fairly quick. I'm learning the lake though so it's getting less and less. Quote

Fishing off the shore I go through hooks fairly quick. I'm learning the lake though so it's getting less and less. I still get out at every opportunity, which is most days. Carry my canoe in the back of my truck, launch it and paddle. I'm not being "fatalistic", just realistic. If I can do as well as my dad did, I should have another good 14 or 15 years. before it's a bobber and worm, or live bait. Maybe longer. See my doc regularly and don't hesititate to get things checked out when something doesn't seem right. Not very often. No nagging aches or pains to slow me down. Quote
D4u2s0t Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 well, you're better off than me and i'm 27! I get tired and sore from lugging down the canoe. doesn't help that i'm a videographer and carry a camera all the time either. But 67 is no longer "old" (unless you're very young lol) especially if you're in good shape. I have a ton of family and so does steph well into their 70's and 80's and still pushing strong! Quote
