Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
Ok. Speaking of Sportsman’s Finest, about 10 years ago, I bought Joe Robinson’s manual “Piscatorial Absurdities” from them. I lent it to a buddy, moved up here, lost track of the dude, and want another copy. They don’t have it anymore and Ted, who championed the book, no longer works there. So, long shot, does anyone here have a copy? If so, I’ll pay you to get a pdf made of it.

Fishing Megathread: Looking For Big Girls Who swallow
I have some friends up here who spend a lot on surf setups, but I’m not shelling out for a Van Staal. I like Tica and Star surf rods in the ~$150 range and Penn Battle/Conflict reels. I load them up with 50# braid and use a flouro leader. These rigs will be for chucking big baits out there. If you’re fishing for specks in the first gut, this will be overkill.

Allen's boots has decent store brand hechos.

This is my experience, Tecovas just don't fit me that well. Check out Allen's house brand... similarly priced and constructed. Fit me much better.

Mainly the look, but thinking about it, I like a lower rise in my jeans as well. I'm pretty much all Levis 513 or 527... I have a couple other random pairs tossed in, but those 2 are my go-to.

I hate the back pockets on Wranglers... makes me feel like I'm wearing a costume.

Largemouth, sunfish, crappie, and catfish all survive under the ice all winter, so they should be ok.

How do his sparq scores line up with Deunte Chapman?

+1 on Filson. Maybe not a tin coat, but check out the Tacoma work jacket.

I have a pair of shearling lined Bean boots, they're good, but have basically no insulation around the foot. The Maine hunting boots sound interesting with no shank to give the moccasin-like feel. My favorite winter/snow boot up here is by far Bogs Classic High Boots.

I didn’t realize there was a new thread. I like yearly threads. No need to merge.

Got the new Chocklett book. Working on my gamechangers. Small ones are about 3”, bigger one about 5. Can’t wait for bass season to get going again.

Got to the "Content I follow" stream, but when I tap on "Past Hour" it doesn't give me additional time choices. Every time I use the "Pager bar", it lets me know I can use the "Pager bar". I hit got it, scroll to a different post, and i get the helpful call out again. The "Pager bar" system needs a "go to last", "go to last read", and "go to [open field]" options. on big threads, it's difficult to push it all the way to the end. Read the thread and saw these same issues. The pager bar needs some serious help, if you're trying to scroll quickly and accidently hit it, it takes you to a different page, it's frustrating. I was just casually scrolling through a thread, my thumb went a little low, and it took me straight to the middle of the thread. I think the idea is good, but poor execution. Would be nice to merge streams... "Content I posted in" + "Content I follow" The menu button on the top left shouldn't take you out of Surly. I tap it and it goes to the "My Communities" page. I get that other people may have multiple communities, but that button usually brings up a menu rather than taking an action. I can't see "Defund Tom Herman" anywhere. Nice to have those. Can't edit posts.

I generally use a 4’-8’ flouro leader tied on with a crazy alberto knot. I use this setup for artificials on everything from ML spinning with 10# braid/6# flouro to surf setups with 50# braid/40# flouro. I use sea striker fast snaps when casting for stripers. For bait, I’ll use a swivel as the braid to flouro connection.

Re: Waders Sierra Trading Post often has good deals. I found a pair of Simms that lasted me 6 years there for about $100.

Not trying to hate on Tecovas, but Allen's house brand and Cuero both are similar quality hechos that fit me better at lower prices.

Tecovas definitely is hipster boots. I lurk on the cowboy boot subreddit, and it's 90% fan boys wondering if there are skinny jeans that look good with their limited edition Tecovas.

Waiting to see the price point on them, but hard to imagine buying those over RW 1178 or 1155.

Whatcha reading?
If this isn’t set on the Llano Estacado, I’ll be very disappointed.

My dad on the Colorado yesterday with Kevin Hutchison of Hill Country Fly Fishers. Not the biggest fish, but a memorable one to be sure. Rod: Split Bamboo that belonged to his father. Fly: Wooly Bugger tied by his granddaughter (age 7).
