Anthony, going to print that one out and show the wife that I am not the only mental one out there - Good thread! Bob Senior, I have to same problem with my waders and fishing gear, living in NYC, there ain't no nearby hose where I can wash off my gear, so I wash it in the tub, the wife really loves the 1 in' of sand when she goes to take a bath in the AM. I go into a bait shop and have to come out with something, some kind of lure, leaders, hooks, something! Funny thing is that I fish eels 99.9% of the time, so all my lures just sit there!
The .01 % I live Jigging. I have a light setup with a Penn 4400 & 5500 (never had any anti reverse problems but that's a separate thread) reels and your standard average run of the mill light action pole.
I'm looking to upgrade to a new, fast action, light as hell, can cast a mile, durable, schoolie pole that can throw up to @ least 1 oz or better, can hold a 30 lber, and did I mention light as hell and can cast a mile? Does this pole exist?
In regards to going through fishing withdrawls, I play hockey year round but still miss stalking the striper surf from Dec - April. I'm gonna start throwing random pops into the E. River, will let you know if I catch anything? Have a feeling all this will change as wife is expected on Jan 3rd - first one!
